Love and Envy.

The highest love is ever quickest to detect the failures and inconsis. tencies of the beloved. Just because if it's intensity it can be content with nothing less than the best, because the best means the blessedest, and 1t longs that the object of it's thoughts should be most blessed forever. It is q mistake to think that green-eyed jealousy is the quickest to detect the spots on the sun. the freckles on the face. and the marring discords in the music of life; love is quicker, more microscopic, more exacting that the ideal should be achieved, Envy is con tent to indicate the fault, and leave it but love detects and waits and holds it's peace until the fitting opportunity arrives and then sets itself to remove the defect.--The Angelus.

After all, my friends said the campaign spel1binder, vital princi- pies never change. Questions of expe- diency may arise to cloud the real and living issues from time to time, but the issues themselves are the same from generation to generation. Political parties in the main agree as to aims. It is difference of opinion as to methods that divide them. For example what one thing do we all, without regard to political affiliations, regard as one of the essentials of our ciyilization?"
