kind 1t may not be improper If we ven
ture another hint: Don't have your invi-
tation printed. No small part of its in
fiuence, If it has any, will arise from the
fact that each person addressed is made
to feel that the pastor has written to him,
or to her; that the invitation is in his
own hand writing, and is not a circular
letter The 21st verse OF the 18th chapter
of the First Epistle to the Corinthians
reads: 1.-The salutation of me, Paul, with
mine own hand; and 1t meant a great
deal. In the 18th verse of the 9Th chap
ter of the Epistle to the Galatians, he
again emphasizes the phrase, with mine
own hand; and here again 1t is highly
significant. In the 18th verse of the 4th
chapter of the Epistle to the Colossians,
the language is deeply pathetic: The
salutation by the hand of me, Paul. Re-
member my bonds" And in the nth verse
of the Sd chapter of the Second Epistle
to the Thessalonians we read: THE sal
utation of Paul with mine own hand,
which is the token in every epistle: SO l
write" These passages all show the i'm
portance which Paul attached to an au-
tograph, and Paul was not only on in
spired apostle, but a very sensible and
practical man. who had a profound ac-
quaintance with human nature. BY all
means, then, let your CARDS or invitation
be written in your own hand, If you mean
them to be as effective as possible
1t would be a good thing for the church
and for the world If all our censors of
public morals could learn from LAS You

The following story 1 can vouch for as
true: A preacher who was well known
as a lover of literature was urged by
devout mother in his congregation to ex-
ercise his influence upon her son, a youth
Of one and twenty, who had just estab-
lished himself in a business of his own.
The young man was not inclined to be re-
ligious and, though not vicious, was not
making the best use of his leisure time.
The pastor invited the youth to his study
and there the following colloquy oc-
Cured:
| Pastor: AZ, I feel a deep interest In
your welfare, both on your own account
and on your mothers. and wish to men
ton one or two things which | think may
be of service to you, If you will think
about them. And, first. as to the employ
ment of your spare time: You are en-
gagged in your business, say, about ten
hours a day. OF the other Ia hours you
need some seven for sleep. That leaves
you seven hours to employ as you please.
Now, the matter in which you habitually
employ those seven hours is a matter of
very great Importance. No small part of

ployed in reading"
To this the youth in a somewhat dis
couraged tone, replied "Oh! 1t is hardly
worth while. I've never been to college,
and | know how to read nothing but
English
The pastor rejoined: why. my dear
fellow, don't imagine that you cannot
be educated without going to college and
learning foreign languages. There is in
our own mother tongue a splendid body
of literature, which is at your command,
If you will only cultivate a taste for 1t.

reading of the best English literature and
would retain what you read, you might,

Pastor-"What sort of books do you
read? ?"
L.-"Why. I've read Romeo and
Juliet; but don't remember now wheth-
er it was written by Dickens or by Wav-
erley."
How far the youth prohted by the
preachers advice was certainly wise. The
preacher did not over-estimate the re-
sources nor the value of the literature
which is accessible TO our who reads only
English. especially when we remember

Plato, who is sometimes called the
greatest of the Greek philosophers, held
that poetry was a nuisance. When J. b.

not read foreign languages, what could he
