Three Gains Of Being Strong.

Courage. Nobody who has gone to
Christ for strength ever loses heart.
For He says, MY Lord believed in
men and their salvation; why should
not /? My Lord did not despair of
the world; why should I? My Lord
never ran away from duty because it
might be unpleasant, or hard, or dan
gerous; will stand with my Lord"
Consistency. 1t is easy to look like
a Christian, in one particular or an
other, but somewhere the surface
Christian will betray himself. The
true disciple is fallible enough, but
he is saved from shame by his sim
cerity. The imitation disciple drors
his disguise when he least suspects
that the mask is off,
Success. The Christ-strenSthenei
man is on the winning side. No
weapon can prosper against him. He
has the secret OF conquest. He has a
first lien on the future. He inspires
others. His unconquerable persist
ence keeps the Church and all good
movements going forward. Once and
again he may be beaten back for n
moment, but he and his kind are the
saving element that will get bring
the world to God. They are Gods
best pledge to humanity that the
forces of evil are surely going down
to defeat.

Getting Even Does Not Paw.

Do not waste any time trying to
Aget even" with some one who has
wronged you. 1t is impossible to en-
ploy a single hour to worse advan-
tage. Someone has truly said that
getting even" Is an idea of revenge
found only in the philosophy Of fools.
Truer words were never uttered.
This idea that because someone else
has stopped to a low, contemptible
act, you must, too, is not worthy OF
a moments consideration by high
minded men and women. Do not allow
what someone else has done to put
you cut OF harmony with your best
self. Getting even" hurts you a hun
dred times more than 1t hurts any one

real' had most modest beginning.
Out in Stewardson, ILL.,, there lives a
young farmer who has been reading all
sorts of newspaper stories and maya
zine articles about the higher cost OF
living. He read that lots of young peo
pie did not get married because the
cost of living was such that penury
and sorrow stared them in the face.
He was bachelor and prosperous,
and it occurred to him that somewhere
in the land there must be the mate
that would make his home happier and
brighter, that might be just yearning
to get married, yet scared by all this
talk of poverty and trouble. The
young man wrote to Speaker Cannon.
He wrote modest postal card to say
that he had a farm of 120 acres. AND
that, like the hotel business, there was
always room for one more" He put
it up to the speaker to furnish the one
more.
Then Uncle Joe in the goodness OF
his heart told newspaper man about
the young farmer, and the newspaper
man put piece in the paper and the
flood of letters started.

unobserved till after the train had
started. Then the clerks sent him
back to Albany. After that he made
frequent trips. The employees of the
Office tagged him "Owney, Albany

quested other mail clerks to affix tags
to him on his trips showing where he
had been. He soon became so exten.
sive a traveller, however, that he
couldn't carry his tags. While he was
once passing through Washington the
postmaster general gave him set of
harness. From this the tags were
then suspended. He travelled from
place to place, always following the
mail. In addition to covering the
United States and Canada, he visited
Europe and Asia. The mikado of
Japan presented him with a silver
medal upon which was engraved the
national coat of arms.
"Owney" met a death not in keep

on one of his journeys, he was chained
in the basement of the postoffice. A
photographer attempted to take his
picture. "Owney" barked his objec.
