Our Legal Obligations Mark ~:
1884.


1884.
Our legal obligations! How harsh
and stern it sounds! What does 1t
suggest? Contracts which must be
met, duties which must be fulfilled,
obligations from which there can be
no escape without resulting penalty.
Is this what we mean when we speak
of our obligations as Christians?
What is it God asks of us, of YOU, of
me? Does he ask beyond our
strength, beyond our knowledge?
Let us study his will in his world.
What is it God asks of the flower?
Simply to bear it's blossom, to distill
sunshine and shower and dank earth
mold into perfume and beauty. To
ask anything else of it would bring
failure. These are the things its ma
ture fits it to give. God never asks
pansy bloom to become an oak, or
a blade of grass to bring forth a lily.
He is a reasonable Ruler. God asks
within the strength of his creatures.
Yet how hard we make his way!
|. What is it that God asks of us?
Simply wholehearted love. But does
he not say what I must and must not
DO? My amuSementS, my amDlt1OnS,
my use of any talents? No; these
things are all met by his test of love.
Would you know whether you are a
true Christian? Try his test. Would
you know whether you have met your
obligations? Ask yourself in the light
I of these two great commands. And
| they depend? Not upon what my
hands can do OR my lips can say.
They depend upon something in me
| life of unselfish love.
Let us pray that God will help us
to overcome all selfishness in our liv-
| ing for him. We cannot love God un-
reservedly, or man as ourself, until
every selfish wish and every preju-
dice has been banished from our
! hearts. Self1shness will be sure to
cloud the heart or tempt the soul or
| deceive the mind or weaken the
strength Of our loving toward God
| and man.

LINES TO A SKEI4ETON.'

Behold this ruin! Twas skull
Once Of ethereal spirit full.
This narrow cell was ife''s retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious
seat.
What beauteous visions filed this
spot!
What dreams Of pleasure long forgot
Nor hope, nor JOY, nor love, near fear
His left one trace Of blood here!
Beneath this. mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye.
Yet start not at the dismal void;
If social love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fires it cleaned,
But through the dew Of kindness
beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright,
When sun and stars are sunk in
night.
"Within the hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue.
If falsehood's honey it disclaimed,
And when it could not praise was
chained;
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That silent tongue shall plead for
thee
When time unveils eternity
essay, did these fingers delve the
mine?
F Or with its envied rubies shine?
! To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail for them;
But if the page Of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall
claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame
| Where now cold and crumbling side
/! A. heart once poured its purple tide,
If sympathy with human woe
And charity controlled its flow;
If pure and true in every thrill,
We need not mourn that heart is still
| Touched to nobler pulse above,
Twill tremble with eternal love.
"Avail it whether bare or shod
These feet the path Of duty trod?
If from the halls Of ease they fed
To seek affliction's humble shed;
If grandeur's guilty bribe the.
sprurned,
And home to virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels wings shal
| vie,
j And tread the palace of the sky.

Increase in the Quantity Of Mail Thai
Is lmperfectly Addressed.
Germany has high reputation fol
the thoroughness with which its pos
tai service is conducted, and for thi
pains taken to return letters to writ
ers whose names and residence are
imperfectly known, but the trouble:
of the government are steadily Ill
creasing. In the course of single
day the average number of letters,
papers and packages which go to the
dead letter Office now averages ten
thousand. For more. than half (52 per
cent? it is impossible to decide what
to do. In 1875 the proportion which
experts could not find a way to de-
liver was a trif1e more than one-f1ftn.
The real cause Of this embarrass-
ment is the increasing illiteracy OF
the people. Many recruits to the army
can neither read nor write. Among
the working classes there are thou
sands who have gone to Germans
from other countries and have had al
most no schooling. Most of the let
ters sent to the Dead Letter Depart
ment have no city, village or town
indicated, or have only the Grst name
Of the party to whom they are ad'
dressed. Postal cards Of the picture
kind are responsible for the bulk oi
the non-deliveries In 1907 they furn
ished about Is per cent. or exactly

The Speed of Automobiles.

Many are the plans to curb the au-
tomobile speed maniac by legislation.
One ingenious man has suggested that
the chauffer be fined and the auto
mobile be imprisoned for a stated
number Of days! There may be some
sense in that, in spite Of ones first
thought. Certainly many automo
bilists have overridden public pa
tience entirely and the situation i
becoming unbearable. A ghastA
number Of pedestrians have already
been slain this spring, and the total
for the season is sure to run very
high. The "joy riders' are the chief
source Of the trouble -chauffeurs who
steal their employers machines out
Of hours and adventure forth eager
to "burn up the pavements." Legis-
lators are passing measures looking
to more stringent license system;
in some states chauffeur who thus
'sjoy rides" may be arrested for lar
ceny. It is rather gratifying to find
that the actual owners of cars them
selves are seldom so reckless of the
rights Of others. Inded, these own
ers, banded in different automobile
associations, are doing all they can,
by advice and active cooperation, to
remedy the present dangerous con-
ditions. The final remedy Of course,
lies in impressing deeply upon the
minds Of automobilists strict sys-
tenn Of automobile ethics. Adher-
ence to good craftsmanship in auto
mobiling as in other pastimes, will
prove the radical cure.-From the

Rule IV.-You owe so much to your
self that you can't afford to owe

| long as you hoped.
Rule IX.-Dcn't tell me what I'd
like to hear but what I ought to

TAFT TALKS TO
BOWERY CROWD.
(Bv Assoc.ated Press. J

New York, Dec. 13.-After speak
ing tonight in Carnegie hall at the
diamond jubilee of the Methodist
missions in Africa, President Taft
motored through a driving rain storm
to the Bowery mission, where he
made an address to typical bowery
audience. He afterward inspected
dread line room, where each night
hundreds of the unemployed are Civ
en- food.
The president in immaculate even
ing clothes, presented a striking con-
trast to the men of the mission who
rose to their feet and cheered him as
he entered the long, church-like room
from the rear. In his talk to the
men, delivered in an earnest conver-
sational tone, the president urged
his hearers not to be down on their
luck, but to struggle on in the belief
that the future would be brighter
for them.
After inspecting the dread line"
room, the president again entered his
automobile and was whirled up town
to his brothers home, where he spent
the night.
