to abide in Christ, but shrinks back
continually before the question: Is
1t possible, a life of unbroken fellow
hip with the Saviour? eminent Chris
tians, to whom special opportunities
of cultivating this grace has been
granted. may attain to it; for the
large majority of disciples, whose
life. by a Divine appointment, is so
fully occupied with the affairs of this
life. it can scarce be expected.
The more they hear of this life, the
deeper their sense of it's glory and
blessedness, and there is nothing they
would not sacrifice to be made par
takers of it. But they are too weak,
too unfaithful-theyn never can attain
to It.
Dear souls, how little they know
that the abiding in Christ is Just
meant for the weak. and so beautiful
ly suited to their feebleness. 1t is
not the doing of some great thing,
and does not demand that we first

True GOOdness

He only is good who does good.
Every man is good in the measure of
the life he gives the world. He only
is fit for heaven who really is fit, ef-
ficient, for the service of heaven here.
The greatest need of the world Is men
and women to whom the divine plans
of life are so glorious that they will
pay any price to become proficient In
realizing them.
There is a world of good work to be
done right here. You may cease to
worry as to whether you are good or
not If you will but begin to do with
all your powers the good work that
lies next to your hands. The only
way TO be is to do Every man really
reflects the thing for which he works.
He who works for the ideal kingdom
shows its glory In HIS countenance.
He who serves the good, who does
good. is changed to its glory though
he knows 1t not.

Character in Houses.

Houses can have great deal OF
character. Some of 1t comes from the
way they are built and their sur
roundings, of course, but more of it
from the life that is lived in them.
People who live a gloomy, starved
and narrow life cannot conceal the
fact from their guests, even though
shey assume different manner while
their guests are in the house. The
rooms themselves tell the tale in a
certain barrenness and dreariness
that the homes of such families get.
On the other hand, who has not
been in houses that breathed cheer
the moment you entered them? 1t
was in little things-the books and
trifles lying about, the chairs in just
the right places for comfort, the cush-
ions, and the expression of the walls
and windows-for walls and windows
do have expression. But it was all
the difference between home people
like to visit and the other kind.-New
