It is heart-Hfting to believe that God works through us and frank ly to acknowledge to ourselves that no one else can do our work, because it is ours to do and ours to get the utmost good out of; it is heart-cheering to see that our work is part and portion of our life, growing out of it as the blos- som from the seed and the seed from the blossom; and 1t is heart comforting to know that this work of ours. being our very own and not a-nother's, is therefore not to be done as it needs be done, except by ourselves-with God. George Eliot speaks 1t nobly from the lips of that faithful craftsman, Stradi- vari. of old Cremona:
 My work is mine And if my hand sla cl1ed I should rob God-since He is fullest

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
IN OUR WORK-DAY WORLD

point his joy is supreme, and inevita-
 bly, he will tell you that it is at that glorihed instant when within his con-
 sciousness is born the poem, the pie
 ture, the immortal song. If this be true of art work, why should it not be true of all work, even of the hardest or humblest? I believe it might be made to be. And I believe the secret of joy in work lies not so much in the sort of work it is, nor the conditions under which it is done, as in the life
 motive of the worker. I once heard a woman say that she could love God and her neighbor quite as well when washing dishes as when writing little songs-and in writing little songs she exceIled. With her, the life-motive was strong enough and sweet enough to dominate any condition or environ ment- Perhaps with those of us who are tied to a round of common cares, to wearying toll, to a monotonous do- ing of the same hon1ely tasks over and over and over, or to such plain, practi- cal, day by day work as leaves neither time nor opportunity for doing the something else" we feel so sure we could love and enjoy-perhaps what needs to be remedied is the motive un- der which we work and play and live. There is a big way of looking at very little things, as there is larger, higher, nobIer way of thinking about neighbors, about their work and ours.

Zeal is a good thing when kept within bounds. It is just as bad as any other good thing when carried to excess. I can call to mind more than one pious, zealous man who tore him self to pieces in the name of the Lord. You, quite likely, call to mind agita- tors for good who did not live out half their days because of their zeal ous disregard of health-this is what their blind zeal for something else amounted to. Now, can you imag- inc the Lord as saying; well done, good and faithful servant" to the man who in His name has wasted his en- ergies and brought about suicidal re- suits. destruction is not com mendable whatever the pretext.

They talk about mems losing their tempersl Most of us would like to lose 'em-to be well rid of them that easy There must have been a purpose in putting a temper into man, and what he does with his temper is a pretty accurate measure of how much of man he is. A man who can hold his temper can usually hold his horses and the man who can hold his horses is master of the team. This appears to have been the divine plan of arousing man to mastery and if man was con scious of the value of the achievement he would master his temper oftener. The men who do not govern their tenn pers are simply bad examples and there are too many of them. Self control under some circumstances makes an ordinary man appear like a king.

One Woman sad that she udlIy prayed: Dear Lord, help me to mind my own business" This is a pretty good prayer, for such woman If she prayed in earnest never could become busybody. She would not see too much, would not hear too much, would not say too much. Take this trio of too mtlches out of our lives and there would be less gossip. less trouble and less noise in the world. She wished to be helped to mind her own business that is the Lords business. Noble de- velopment, the elimination Of qualities which degrade womanhood, would make her more and more for good, and that is for God. These paths are well laid out if we will only take them, but human nature likes too well to stroll.

A gentleman about to travel abroad took occasion to say to a friend whom he was bidding goodbye: Do not use a profane word while I. am gone!" "'Whatever profane words have used'' replied the friend, T have never taken the name of God in vain." Will you define that ?" he asked T prefer that you should" replied the friend ''As popularly interpreted that phrase is poorly interpreted. He who takes the Lords name in vain oftenest and most shamefully is the man who, having no mission. uses the name of the Lord to make a living. The name of the Lord is taken in vain too often; and where the mercenary spirit overrides the re- ligious spirit, there we see the worst examples of it." Taking the name of the Lord in vain in its worst form IS not always recognizable by us.
