The Music of Life

I forgotten, and the music Of toll breaks
forth into joyful utterance. Would
that some Christian poet toiler might
arise and write for US the anthem OF
regenerated labor.
Again, the music of life should find
suitable expression in the home, in
society, and in the state. We group
these together, for the same thread
runs through them all. In every case
it means the crucifixion of self and the
exaltation of the other fellow. Every
selfish, unkind, unjust word and act
spells the music. And what a tragedy
we have made of it! How often have
anger, avarice, and jealousy, and pride.
self-will and malice been the ruling i'm
pulses in our lives, How often they
have crowded out every finer and
nobler sentiment and drowned in their
mad uproar all the heaven-born music!
Why can we not, why will we not,
choose the harmony instead of the dis
cord, the joy of peace and goodwill
rather than hatred and strife?
And we may each one of us, if we
choose, make our life a joyous song.
If we approve the good, the true, the
beautiful, moral as well as material,
and give them expression in word and
act, then every days experience will
be strain of music worthy of angelic
choirs. JOHN G. OSBORN.

figured that it costs the city $1,000 an

gone through them. Before the wagon
can return the paper is blown all over
the neighborhood. There Is an ordi-
