blessed Are the Meek"

No grace is more royal than humil-
ity. Whosoever humbleth himself as
a little child, the same is greatest In
the kingdom of heaven. He is great
est who esteems himself least, who
Judges himself by divine standards,
not by the average of the common hui
mainly and its paltry ambitions.
Those who walk with God are humble.
Pompousness, pretentiousness and os-
t~entation are not consistent with lofty
ideals. They cannot flourish in a spir-
itual atmosphere. God resisteth the
proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble THE meek will he guide In
Judgment, and to the meek he will
teach his way" Humility holds the
key to knowledge, is essential to
progress, makes our life a loving min
istry to others, glorifies obscurity with
dignity and grace, is not pulled up by
the tickle breath of human shame. He
that climbs the purifying mountain
must grid himself with the smooth
rush that the wild waves bend but
cannot break. All glory is begun in
self-renunciation; the highest person
al power is the humility of love.

A Unique Tombstone.

fantastic conception as a memorial
to loved ones who have passed to the
other shore.
The devotion that Hannibal Clark, a
simple minded but wealthy farmer,
displayed toward his daughter, Mary,
stands out prominently with every
blow welded by the stone engraver.
When she died at the age of sixteen,
he decided to %perpetuate upon the
family monument not only the dates
showing the birth and death OF each
member, but also some verses OF
poetry appropriate, and also in the
case of the daughter, reproductions
of animals and farm ene Every
thing hat the girl loved in life was
to be reproduced upon her monument
after death, according to the direc-
lions of the Borrowing parent.
Her entire existence was spent up
on the farm and she knew but little
of the wide world outside. She was
passionately fond of the pursuits of
agriculture and of domestic life as
she experienced 1t upon her fathers
farm. She was the apple of her
fathers eye and her untimely death
broke his heart. He 500 followed
her to the grave, but not until he had
left minute instructions concerning a
monument commemorating the traits
and affections of the daughter and
also. some epitaphs concerning his
wife and himself.
The daughters favorite expression
was, Nov, ma, let's go to Sleep" and
Get ready, ma, now let us CO." and
others similar. These were ordered
carved upon the huge shaft of granite
together with no less than fifty sym
bols showing objects on the farm,
among them being the following: Side
saddle, pair of scissors, thimble, VIC
lin. copies Of love letters, owl. fish,
horse, COW, turkey, hen, rooster, dog,
cat, grain cradle, pillow, fence, house.
bird, etc. 1t required months of pa
tient labor upon the part of the monu-
ment maker to compete this strange
monument.
That the old mans reverence to-
ward his daughter was extreme, Is
indicated In the unique manner in
which he has sought to perpetuate
her peculiarities. He doubtless be-
lieved in his simple way that this
would please her. Relatives objected
strenuously against the erection of
such a remarkable monument, but the
within Of the old man could not be
disregarded and 1t stands c%onspicu-
ously In the rural cemetery, an OBJ
ject of extraordinary interest.

True Love Needed.

Last but not least, love is another
important part in doing personal
work. We may be a praying people,
and we may know the Bible. but I'M
less we have a love for lost souls, our
work will not profit US anything. "And
though l bestow all my goods to feed
the poor, and give my body to be
burned, and have not charity. it profit
eth me nothing. Charity suffereth
long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not
pulled up" If we have a love for
souls who we know are on the down
ward road to ruin, we will find oppor-
tunities to help them. When we are
constrained by love we will not wait
for some one else to do 1t.
We may not feel the importance OF
personal work. Look at the vast num-
Der of travelling statesmen In the en-
ploy of business houses. Where
would their work be if it were not for
the personal effort they put forth.
And how much more necessary 1t Is
to be personal workers for the great
Master who is all In alli-Gospel Her
