Harmony Is but another name for /
heaven. In harmony IS blended al that /
is good and true. and harmony means 4
happiness. God made all things a perfect /
harmony, but sin brought discord and it |
IS the work of Christians and philan- !
thropists to stop the discord and get all |
things back into the perfect harmony !
which was heard at the laying Of the |
corner stone when the morning stars |
sang together" Mrs. F. L BARRINGER.

The secret of harmony is the ability to |
understand the point OF view OF the other
fellow and appreciate his position by
understanding the causes that led to IT,
We should not be repealed or startled be-
cause others cannot see just as we have
been taught. We should know that any
honest opinion or action Is entitled to
great respect. and when tested by wis
dom and righteousness Will be found to
contain something helpful that may be
harmonized with our own life with mu-
tual benefit. II p ,frnErrp

The soul Of beauty speaks through rough

And makes the sculptors task
glory and rapture. He alone
May lift the clinging mask
Be thine fairer art-to bare thine ear
To LIES unrestful sea,
And IN its harshest discords feel and hea,

The harmonic triad IN optimism IS
knowledge, intelligence. and Christian
love. And what an uncommon chord is
this common chord, For many have
knowledge. quite a number have intelli-
gence. few have love. but seldom do
We meet one who has learning and brains
and love. Therefore few of US are per-
fectly in tune. We are discordant. out OF
tune, one way or the other. And since
we should strive for the union OF those
qualities which enable us to please the
hearts and souls OF those who are tired
of earthly discofd, let us try to get with
IN US this very agreeable triad-knowl-
edge, intelligence, and Christian love.

| Who can overestimate the value OF har-
mony? Harmony n .he home. in bust
ness, and I'm society. Who in words can
express its Unreasonable breadth and
depth. or set a limit on its necessity as
a factor for good? II is the harmony
within, individual harmony Of heart and
mind and soul. which makes I'D a har-
monious whole. With what infinite pains
we see tuner spend hours trying 20
find discordant key on some piano. Just
one small key; but what a Earring effect
1t has on the whole. SO each one Of us.
particularly each optimist, should search
and find the little things within ourselves
that make discord when played in con-
junction with others Each human being
Is as a key TO huge piano, or a string
on some giant harp. and when the Mas
ter Musician runs his hand over the In
strument shall We be the one 10 make
the discorG? IL each one earnestly and
constantly tried TO live in harmony with
those around them, endeavorlng TO file
away the rough points and sharp edges
which are causes OF annoyance to others,
not picking and quarreling and finding
fault, how different this world would be.
because you cannot take the world as a
whole and endeavor to make It over. but
the individuals composing the world must
each make themselves over. and the first
the most important step should be to
first 1--we and work and play harmoni-
ously. MARION G BARKrR

Why rushed tho discords in but that the
harmony should be priced?
Sorrow is hard TO bear and doubt Il
slow to clear;
Each sufferer says his say, his scheme
of the veal and woe,
But God has few Of US whom he
whispers in the ear,
The rest may reason and wrangle.
