THE DANGER OF SYSTEMrESS
READING.

The mind is a very delicate, COM
plicated piece of mechanism; and al
though made to do a certain kind of
work marvelously well, yet when put
to an entirely different use, its eff
cheney is ruined; just as the delicate
machinery intended for producing fine
watch parts would be completely
spoiled if used to make clock parts.
When the mind becomes DETECTED, to
a certain extent from its normal con-
dition by a vicious reading habit, it
divergeS more and mores and rarely
goes back to the normal.
By desultory habits of reading and
lack of system, you confuse the mind
with a large mass of unclassified ma
terial. You pick up another one and
then go from that to a paper or mag
aztne. This puts the mind in a cha
otto state. because you let everything
run into the mental reservoir without
any order or definite plans. System
less reading is profitless. You cannot
gain knowledge of a friend or prize
his friendship by q hasty first i'm
preston; So in reading a. book you
cannot gain lasting good by skimning
over the contents, or by reading a few
pages one night and then putting it
on shelf to gather dust until you
get time to read it again. Everything
comes out of the mind as it went in,
and If it does not enter in an orderly
manner, 1t will come out in chaos.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT LIFEq

Do not try to do a great thing;
you may waste all your life waiting
for the opportunity which may new
er come. But since little things are
always claiming your attention, do
them as they come, from a great mo-
tive, for the glory of God, to win his
smile of approval and to do good to
men. 1t is harder to plod on in OBJ
security, acting thus, than to stand on
the high places of the field within a
view of all. and do deeds of valor at
which rival armies stand still to gaze.
But no such act goes without the
swift recognition and the ultimate
recompense of Christ. To fulfill faith
fully the duties of your station: to use
to the uttermost the gifts of your
ministry; to bear chatting and trivial
irritationS as martyrs bore the pill
lory and the stake; to find the one no.
BILE trait in people who try to smolest
you; to put the kindest construction
on unkind acts and words; to love
with the true love of God even the
unthankful and evil; to be content to
be a fountain in the midst of a wild
valley of stones, nourishing a few
lichens and wild flowers, or now and
then thirsty sheep; and to do this
always, and not for the praise of man,
but for the sake of God-this makes
a great life.

ABYSSINIAN FUNERAL.

An Abyssinian funeral is as singu-
lar as the wedding ceremonies. Wher
a newborn infant dies it is, almost
! Immediately, buried under the floor
of the cabin. After the demise of an
adult, the body is washed in water
sweetened with honey. wrapped in a
shroud, and then sewed up in a mat
of braided straw laid upon a litter
made of boughs cut from trees. This
bier Is borne to the church If the dead
man or woman was a Christian.
The lamentations of the relatives
resound among the cliffs, and the
news is rapidly communicated to all
the people of the neighborhood, who
at once set out to condole with the
mourners.
As soon as they catch sight of the
funeral procession, they begin to
weep and cry aloud. When they join
it, the men range themselves on one
side of the bier. the women on the
other. and all the newcomers add
their voices to the weird lament
chanted by the friends of the de-
ceased.
At intervals the women fall upon
their knees, and taking up handfuls
of dust from the path, throw it upon
their heads.
When the religious ceremony is
over, the corpse is buried in the
churchyard

KINDNESS.

Kindness is worth while for its owr
sake. 1t is god in itself Even il
its expression were insincere beyond
a doubt, it is still an agency for good
1t makes life easier. You can pick
life part and find it nothing but sad
ness and disappointment, with death
to crown it all. The strongest and
bravest whistle only to keep their
spirits up. Nothing lasts. Beauty
fades, joy pals, and life ever prom
ises what it cannot perform. Shall
we on this account join the Cynics and
make life worse than needs be? What
use to whimper or curse or in other
ways add to the sum of misery of our
fellows. 1t Is far better to acquire
a bravery we do not feel. cheerful
ness in part assumed, that others may
not suffer unnecessary grief. This is
taking life on all but pagan basis.
There is one thing that fails not
Faith. There is one promise that will
be redeemed in full-heaven if we are
fit for it. There is one Friend who
will never fail us if we do our duty;
Christ. The kindest man is the truly
religious man, for his joy springs
like the water that responded to the
touch of Moses wand from the rock
Kindliness is indestructible. No part
of it is ever wasted, and humanity
bids us give of it the best we can, for
even the counterfeit is better than
surlinesS.
