HOW TO BE HAPPY.

By Rev. Junius B. Remensnyder.
Oh, that l had wings like a dove,
for then l fould fly away and be at
| rest.-Ps. 4:6.
This is the impassioned cry of a
soul wearied with the turmoil and
struggle of life to the point of losing
heart.
What Is the cause Of these fits of de-
preston? One Is the fatigue of work.
Another cause of these depressed states
Is the crosses, anxieties and cares Of
life. 1t Is not work so much as worry
that saps our vigor. AS the constant
dropping wears away the granite block,
so these little vexations try our cour.
age and patience And another cause
Is sin; our own misdoings. We turn
aside from the right to the pleasant
path. We do wrong to ourselves: we
hurt our neighbors and then comes
the inevitable penalty. We are smit-
ten with remorse. We are bowed In
the dust with self-reproach and shame.
Such is llfe's unrest; what is its
cure? First of all, we must recognize
that these discouraged methods are
morbid, unhealthy and unnatural. 1t
Is weak and unmanly for us to give
way to them. Life was meant to be
hopeful, buoyant, joyful. Something
is wrong with our life machinery and
must be set straight.
We must love our work, put our
hearts into 1t, feel that we are doing
our Fathers will in it. Thus Iaboring.
we will find joy and beauty and poetry
and not drudgery in our daily task.
The humblest life is glorif1ed by the
divine purpose.
We should look upon the bright side.
When our hearts drop it Is because we
weigh our troubles, but do not put our
blessings into the balance. We mag
nifty crosses and overlook joys that
are not to be numbered.
Home Is the remover of the careworn
spirit. Everyone should have or make
a home. The power of domestic love
and confidence to cheer the faded spirit
is one Of the rarest treasures of the
hearthstone. But above all, religion is
the sweet restorer of the soul. When
courage sinks and spirits flag there Is
no power like faith in God can Danish
our weakness. To realize, then, the
living purpose in our lives and His
presence instantly at hand for our
help, is to meet every task with cheer
and every dilemma with a stout heart.
Instead, then, of signing for the
wings of dove to fly to some shelter
OF rest, let us face life's duties and
cares with manly spirit and eager ar
dor, and we shall find In it our true
calling, our place CT usefulness, our
school Of growth, our present Joy and
our future hope.

Miss Giulia was the favorite daugh-

who left her the greater part Of his
wealth. Her inheritance is placed at

per cent would be only $65,000 a year.

Always be civil. Try to treat rich
and poor alike. Is not the poor mans

POUND? The working mans wife. with
her basket on her arm, says Sir Thorn
as Upton in the Strand, is entitled to
as much respect as the lady who comes
in her carriage. When BENJAMIN
Franklin was ambassador at the
French court, speaking to a young
man, he said: The last time I saw
poor father he received me in his
study. As | was leaving he showed
me short way out of the house
through a narrow passage crossed by
a beam overhead. Suddenly he cried:
'Stoop! Stoop, l did not understand
what he meant until I felt my head
bump against the beam. He was a
man who never failed to give good adj
vice. You are going, he said. and
have got to go through the world.
Stoop as you go through it, and you
will miss many hard thumps.'" I
have never failed to be impressed by
this lesson of humility.

THE THINGS THAT REMAIN.

By Henry F. Cope.
"And now abideth faith, hope, love-"
Il. Cor, 10: Is.
After all, even when 1t seems that
the worst has happened to us, we come
to know that 1t is not the worst; that
there are deeper depths Of misery and,
what Is more important, that there re-
main to US possessions of value great
er than all we have lost The storms
that sweep down on us have no power
to uproot our trees of life
Like old Job, we may be thrown
upon the dunghill, bereft Of our kin
and friends, despoiled of our posses
sions, and racked with pain, and still
the spirit rise victorious and memory
and imagination discover comforts and
resources that put to rout the pessim-
isms of the prosperous and the pain
free.
Blessed be the adversities that un-
cover the real riches of life. We might
never know the real value but for the
loss of unworthy things we have val
ued too highly; we might never know
how rich we really are but for the
harsh hands that despoil us of that
which we once counted as riches. The
piercing sorrows are the ones that
break through the crust of life and
open the worth under the surface.
When the true man is left destitute
1t is surprising to see how much re-
mains. The man Is there with his
will, memory, imagination, his power
to create and to conquer, to make
riches OF the heart, to win friends, to
enter into fellowship with the spirits
Of all ages, to appreciate and possess
the universe of the things that are
eternal and imperishable.
Destitution Of things is the fate that
awaits Us all; some may know 1t often
during life; in some measure losses
must be In every life, while ali must
some day lose tho grip on things, must
bid farewell to all possessions and car
~ out OF this stage of being only their
own selves. It were we'll for US # we
learned to see in this not q despoiling
but a discovery OF better and greater
treasures.

AT present thoughtful women are go

their case is no check upon mental ae-
tiylty, 4 normal woman's faith In God
is more largely based on respect for
man than she suspects; when she loses
respect for man her faith in God may
not be lost, but it changes in charac-

transmitted TO her by man then be-
come open to question, and she begins
to substitute her own interpretations.
Except in degenerate people there can
be no such thing as sex antagonism."
Men have always frankly despised
women without in the least disliking
them. One woman here and there a
man may respect, but toward women In
general his attitude will remain for the

Jesus! lover of my soul,


Let me to thy bosom fly
While the pillows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me o my Savior! hide,
Till the storm of life Is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
0, receive my soul at last!
Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee;
Leave, all leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed;
All my help from thee bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
Thou, o Christ. art all I want;
More than all in thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
Vile and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within;
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart
Rise to all eternity.
