True and Fest Humanity.

We in our pride are apt to think
that to humble ourselves is to be
forced to an unwilling surrender, a
hard necessity OF submission. But
with our gracious Father, to humble
is not to humihate The true and best
humanity is that which love wins from
us as the sunshine and soft beTath of
spring WOO the fc ers from the
hedgerow. Of old, when God would
humble Israel, He fed them with an
gels food, or. as it is rendered in the
margin, Every one did eat the bread
of the mighty. Psalm 1925 Mark

Insurance Tax.

That the insurance department is
one Of the most prolific sources of rev.
enue to the state is demonstrated by
the fact that the average yearly pay
ments through it into the treasury
amount to about 100000, and this is
practically net, as the most of collec-
ton is less than per cent. There
was paid in by Commissioner Henry
Thursday, for July settlement on ac-
count of the per cent premium tax
on fees, the sum of $10O01.O6, which
is an increase compared with the
same time last year.

10 Serve God.

It is written, ITO serve God and
live to Him is easy to him who doeth
it." Truly, it is so to him who doth
it for love, but it is hard and weari-

God rejoiceth more over one man who
truly loveth than over a thousand
hirelings. -Theologia Germanica.
