The Golden Rulel Oh. rule OF rulesl
Laid down by our Saviour. praeticed by
the Good Samaritan OF old. and IS prae-
ticed by all sincere followers OF Christ
to-day, for to do 10 others as we would
that they should do to US Is the true
basis of practical right living,
Mrs. n. ALICE BUTLER
'Strew gladness on the paths of men,
You will not pass this way again
THOs. K. 0'BRIEN.
What a glorious old werld this would
be If all of us lived according 10 the
Golden Rule, I like to picture to myself
world where there are 10 frowning
and gloomy faces, but smiles and words
of cheer for all we meet; no slanderOns
tongues or harsh criticism. Oh, what
heaven on earth we would have! Let US.
then, try TO do unto others as We would
have them do unto US. BY letting our
flight shine" we may perhaps lead some
soul out OF the darkness that seems 70
surround It into 1.-THE everlasting light"
Miss L. G. JEFFRIEs.
This beautiful rule seems 10 embody
the wisdom OF the ages. 1t is universal
In it's application. 1t knows no race,
creed. time, or condition. II is another
way OF saying Put yourself Ia the other
fellows place" Our daily lives squared
by this rule would have many heart
ache. much misery and crime, and would
be a long step toward realizing the ideal
conditions OF life. ARTHUR LENOA.
To-day there are people who viii tell
you seriously II doesn't pay TO observe
the Golden Rule; that do unto others
as you would they should do unto you" is
a rule that will work for the other fell
low, benefiting him by your love and for
bearance. but that he will never recon-
pense your kindness. We know this IS
fallacy, for there never was a kind word
spoken. a good deed done, that il was
not requited somewhere. somehow, Only
the other day heard OF a man who was
very generous and good during his life,
but dying, left his widow and two little
children bankrupt of this worlds goods.
Time and again.. said the widow. ''peo-
pie have come to help me because my
husband had been so kind TO them. The
other day ] was sending my boy TO a
business college and man OF whose ex-
istence I had never heard wrote me:
Send the bill 10 me. I viii pay for your
sons tuition. Your husband was a friend
OF mine and did me many a good turn I"
So we see the Golden Rule may help
those We love some day, for "the good
we do lives after US; the bad Is inferred
with our bones n. ]. MOOR.
The Golden Rule: do unto others as
you would have them do unto you"
We should not expect others 10 do for
US what We are not willing 70 do for
them. II we want kindness and consider
alton shown US We must first show them
10 others. II We want appreciation for
what we do, We must be ready TO give
our appreciation and support 10 the ef-
forts Of others; and, above all, II we
want forgiveness for our faults we must
be willing to forgive the faults and mis-
takes Of those around us.
Give love, and love 10 your heart viii
flow,
A strength in your utmost need:
Have faith, and a score Of hearts will
show
Their faith in your work and deed"
Mrs If. JEFFRIES.
The Golden Rule is the voice Of Christ
ringing in our ears. and who has not
heard it and loved IT? It bids US get our
