iof sUel together society" to do. If 1t cannot be made to accomplish all that is desired, it will doenough to sur prise those who engage in such noble effort, and they themselves will be great gathers.
 Human beings are created with like passions and faculties, all intended to be brought into such condition as to make them happy in this life. We see this done, not only among enlight- ened peoples, but among heathens and savages tribes, men and women have been trained and educated to enjoy that oneness of spirit of eontentment, with such happiness that led them to en- dure the worst forms of death rather than yield it up. What, therefore, one can be trained to possess, all are intend- ed to possess and to enjoy.
 The "Sanday School Timesn of Oc- tober Is, has an article on "The Chief Fault of Christian People, which tai lies in well with our subject. After de- scribing one class whose sensitiveness leads them to find the good that is in everything, and enjoys so doing, and their Joy is an inspiration on all around them, speaks of another class who "go about stirring up more needless strifes, and raising more false issues, and in- troducing more oppressive atmo- sphere, than can we'll be estimated.n And then makes these suggestions:
 "ls it not time to look upon the more beautiful and winning aspect of sensi- tiveness and try to acquire il? Wemay well covet the kind that is ever antici- pating another's s need before he express es it, or removing from his path some difficulty before he bruises himself against it. To divine what will give happiness 10 some one without his be- ing put to the humiliation of asking it, and to be so thoug ghtful of his rights that he will not have to demand them or make an issue of them: this is the refinement of which we have to admit that We have all too little.. Cardinal ! ton of Gentleman, that it is almost a definition of gentleman to say that he Is one ho never infiicts pain.p What the proposed society can to do 10 promote contentment in all hearts, is To have lectures 10 explain how people can secure happiness-the great boon | all are anxious to possess. Then bring them together at times to participate in service where all their better attributes will be manifested, and where they can recognize that they are about all alike at least in motive and intention but influenced somewhat by associations and environment but will still leave them worthy of each others respect If not friendship. II there should be incorrigibles, determined to eontinue the existing uncailed-for and hurtfui surmisings and bickerings, let them be regarded as pariahs that they may ne won over 10 a better frame of mind. The establishment of the Day Kim ball Hospital and it's continued success | ful beneiieent service, Is lesson to i indicate what We desire to see done on a scale to take in all the community. That institution brought together per sons 50 estraagei as hardly to secog. ni.e each other as fellow beings, chil- dren ot One Faiher, who have since en- joyed companionship in beautiful ser vice that giofifies their common Father.
 It Is not to be expected that such proposed service eau be undertaken aud carried on without the exercise of pa- tience and forhearance. But it will bring great recompense: Blessed are the peace makers: fer they shall pe eailed the children of God.n
