ician whose loving service was Christ
like, we read
IN THIS HOUSE WE SPEAK NO
ILL OF OTHERS. THOSE WHO
HAVE THE INCLINATION MAY,
AFTER THEY CLOSE OUR GATES,
TALK ABOUT US
These notices are for our own good
as family--and they minister to a
desire; they are for none intended as
hint or slur.
What good do such notices or max
inns do? Very little indeed, unless
read by persons in whom there IL a
desire to be more just and tender
towards all mankind.
II was one of our very best and
greatest men OF action who said: THE
force OF sentiment given me by my
mother has all through my life been
more of an influence for good than
any other power whatever"
All such sentiments are sparks
from divine anvil; they are the best
thought Of an inspired soul; flashes
from God, and, as such, contain a
latent force which will surely give off
power when placed under right con-
1itions; Just as surely as heat is ex-
pended by the passage of matter.
Over thirty years ago good man,
Premier OF "A Canadian province, gave
me a motto which he said at the time,
had helped him greatly all his life
He was not sentimental oman, but
one given to practical affairs, to deal
ings with hard-headed business men,
and he spent one hour in telling me
about his motto and wishing that
would use II as he had done. II is In
old French, and comes originally from
the Huguenots of France:
FATS CE DoIT
ADVIENNE QUE POURRA.
That is. do what is right let come
what will, or, love your neighbor as
yourself, or, trust in the Lord and do
good. They are all one.
BY the last mail came a little book
let which highly prize. 1t is not
long and shall quote II entire:
The Order OF Peace and Good VIII.
N. B.-This order is open to all per-
sons, but especially to those, both
men and women, who have passed the
age Of military service.
We agree to deny oursclve, so far
as possible, every expression of COM
plant, fault-finding, resentment, or
bitterness. II we are fractions we will
not show II. We will not complain of
our circumstances, however meagre,
uncomfortable, or lonely they may be.
We will not answer back with anger,
as much as by look, even II we think
ourselves treated with disrcspect or
injustice. We will bear 1t ii we re-
ceive less of love, honor, or attention
than we deserve. We will not stretch
out our hands to demand more than
we get.
We will deny ourselves the privilege
to punish or censure others, though
they deserve punishment. We will not
denounce anyone. We will give NJ
the use of blame, even against the
other peoples opinions or try to argue
them down.
II we can say nothing good of a
neighbor, we will say nothing at all
We will make 10 one unhappy II
we can help it,
We will not try TO detect evil, or to
attack II. or to utter II.
We will have the least possible to
do with II.
We will henccforth turn our forces
in the direction of good.
We will discover all the good there
rs in our conditions and our circum'
stances. We will count up the full
value of the assets that belong to us
every iicm of good health that re-
mains, all beautiful scenery, all mem
cries of sunny days, all our comforts
every local friend
We will iMd out aud appreciat,
whatever good there is in our friends
our ncighbors aud our attendants.
We will try 10 understand theil
opinions, tHcir politics, and their re
| liGiOn.
We will say kind words to then
| whenever we can.
We will tell them, If they care Il
near. what our best thought Is.
We will be good-natured II they d,
