Unity Of Human Nature.

The unity Of human nature Is a fact
Of the gravest importance when we at
tempt to estimate the forces Of the
spiritual life. No faculty acts in iso-
lation. The intellect acts upon and IS
acted upon 10y the conscience and the
emotions. Wrongdoing diSturbs the
mental balance Doubt grows on the
soil of sinful indulgence. The con-
seriousness Of religious difficulties
should lead us to greater carefulness
Of life. If we are full Of doubts, then
let us make as sure as we can that we
have not blocked up by willful sin any
window Of the spirit.-Rev. II. Hers
ley Henson. Canon Of Westminster Alb
hey, London.
Value Of Experiences.
Every experience we pass through
is to fit US to help others passing
through a similar experience. Paul
was a great sufferer. and to him we
turn for words Of comfort in affection.
So we in turn are to make our expe-
riences a blessing to others. A tray
eler to the far west was stranded In
St. Louis and so compelled TO give up
his purpose But after much hardship
be began TO prosper and gathered a
fortune He knew what Ii was TO be
stranded on the way and TO suffer dis
appointment In his will he left n
large sum to help stranded pilgrims
west. Andrew Carnegie had a library
opened to him when he was eager to
learn, but without books. From that
experience came his free Libraries all
over the country. These men made
their experience work out for others
good, for it enabled them to appreciate
others needs and minister to it. Make
an application Of this principle today
in your own life You have Jour pc
culiar experiences. You have suffered
pain. What sympathy you ought 10
have for sufferers, You have made
your mistakes. What gentleness you
ought to exercise toward those who
err! You were discouraged, and some
one helped you by a kind word. How
ready you ought to be to speak word
Of cheerl You have had your feelings
hurt by criticism. How careful you
ought to be for the feellngs1Of others,
You know the frightful stress Of temp
tation Why not lend a hand to the
tempted? Have you found a Saviour?
Then how eager you ought to be to
tell others Of him, Do you thank God
for your experiences because they help
you TO help others? That's part Of the
Christian life.-Rev. Park Hays Miller.

Loyal to His Friends.

One OF the most admirable traits OF
the king was his loyalty to his friends.
II mattered not what fate overlook
them. his hand was open TO them still.
There IS the well known case Of the
officer I'm the Boer war who came home
practically disgraced. but who found
no change In his former crony and
then ROYAL master. As Prince of Wales
Edward had not access 10 state Sc
crets. but this was more than made
no 10 him by his freedom to form
friendships with leading men all over
Europe. one Of the strangest ana
closest Of these associations was with
Gambctta, the republican leader Of
France. II was one Of the most con-
spicuous intimacies Of the princes liie'
but was by no means the only indica-
ton of his liberal tendencies.
There must have been a peculiar
charm about the person and manners
Of this king that gave him such sus
tanned popularity throughout life. q
popularity that enabled him TO set the
fashions for the English speaking
world. So universal was the liking for
him that even the scandals blaZoned
abroad were unable to shake IL. To-
dav about all the world remembers OF
the most notorious one Of these cpl
sodes is the phrase coined concerning
his efforts to protect the name Of a
woman. "He perjured himself Ike a
