onlooker, unhappy,
i'll at ease. His friends said he
thought too much.
Heinrich was alone, and the hair
on his temples was now thickly
sprinkled with gray. He wanted no
wife-he had his violin; so he would
argue with those who questioned his
mode of living.
Yes, he had his violin. He was
the greatest violinist in the city, and
recently his name had won much
more than local recognition. But
what cared he for that2 1t was mu-
sic, not fame, that he loved.
Tenderly at night when the oft
times irksome duties of the day were
over he would take the precious vio-
in and, laying his cheek against her,
let his heart speak. Then the pent-
up emotion in his soul was set free
and then, if ever, he was at one with
himself. He could play a light
hearted rondo with all the abandon
Of child; but it was always the sad
minor motifs that he loved best.
For Wagner, as well as for the pres
,nt-day sentimentalists, he had not
l great deal of time. Beethoven and
Tschaikowsky drove deeper into his
soul. He liked the fine intellectual
gloom of Beethoven, the gripping,
magnificent lnournfulness of Tschai-
kowsky. Who were the great art
lists? Those who had thought as
well as felt; those to whom the poem
Of life, if it was poem, spelled
tragedy.
But he could not play tonight.
Hands as well as brain seemed pow
erless. He dropped his head on his
arms over the opened sheet of music
on the table.
How miserable he was! Today as
never before the unutterable solitude
Of life had pressed in upon him, and
now in the twilight the whole room
seemed vibrant with a note of mel
And Marietta-was she,
FOO, unhappy? Dear Marietta, with
her sunny eyes and her smile as in
applicable as the smile of Mona
Lisa! He had met her in the broad
light of the street that morning, and
with quick sympathy had noted how
worn and sad she looked-sad until
sight of him sent the glad light
laughing to her eyes. Why had he
not seen her all that long winter
Perhaps she was unhappy; perhaps
she was not well; perhaps she was
in want! Oh, God! that Marietta
should be in want when gold was
flowing in to him-so much more
than he could ever use in his simple
lifel
He remembered the first time he
had seen her. She had taken a room
in the same building; she had just
come to the city and was giving les
sons in folk dancing. He had no
ticed her in the hall, caught by the |
dignity of her bearing and by GER
tain lovely resoluteness in her face.
And then that evening she had come
10 his door-could he ever forget
that?

of Tschaikowsky's Of which |

Of the eternal mystery, giving one Z

That was enough for one evening.
Then came a knock at the door, and
Heinrich rose and opened IT, There

young; he himself SO old.
He rose without exactly knowing
why and took his hat. Outside it
was quite dark. The clock in st.
James tower was just sounding eight.
He wondered if Marietta would be
at home. He drew a card from his
vest pocket-a business card Of
Marietta's which she had sent him
though he did not know that-as a
gentle reminder of his promise. He
boarded car. Somehow he felt
very happy. Perhaps Marietta did
need him, after all.
She was at home-in q broad
window-seat, watching the full moon
as it came up over the opposite
houses. She rose with an apology
for having no light. Heinrich did
not even hear her.

The sting of misfortune was, to her,
stimulus to endeaTOr.
1t Is related of Huber, the Swiss nat
uralist that although he fell blind in
early boyhood and had never seen a
piece of honeycomb he yet wrote the
story of the honey bee, the habits and
mystery of it. and the life of the hive,
IN manner of accuracy and insight
that has rendered his writings classic
and an authority to all students Of
apiarian science through the entire cen
fury just passed.
Instances of this kind, and there are
many OF them, seem to indicate that
not only are difficulties not a necessary
hindrance TO success, but that thew are
fitted to be an incentive to success.
Birds mount in the face of the wind,
Unat IS, they use the WIND as something
10 climb up upon; they convert obsta-
Gle nto a means Of ascent
Of course, that applies only in case
they really want to rise.
It is all the same whether il be wind
or no wind to a bird or to a boy that
has no ambition but to remain at
ground level.
But once there is ambition, obstruc-
ton helps TO its attainment, as fresh
wood heaped upon the fire instead of
chilling it feeds the combustion.
Conflict with difficulties gives to one
a consciousness Of inner faculty for
coping with difficulty.
It touches the deep springs of
achievement

selves to sea level. Boys who can 60

not as apt to want to as those who can

Tenence.
Facilities Hinder Young 5Ien.
A student who has in part to work
his way through college will know
more when he graduates than one who
slides through on his fathers remit
tances. or on a scholarship.
Doubtless more of our young men,
wealthy young men especially, are be-
ing hindered by facilities than are be-
ing hindered by difficulties.
Facilities operate as a soporific; diff
fculties as tonic. Clutches foster
lameness and reconcile one to fixed
habits of artificial support

UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER
OF NEW BISHOPS CHOSEN

Spring conventions of the Episcopal
church results in the election of an
unusual number Of new bishops. Do
ceseS that for years had contemplated
division in order to make two dioceses
and thus secure additional Episcopal
force, have taken advantage of the
tated at division, and the new law,
with retention of the state as the nat
ural boundary of the diocese, appears
to Episcopal church authorities a So
luton of their problems.
Three diOceses of large commune
cant lists or large territory, or both,
all of which had discussed division for
years, have just elected bishops suffra-
Minnesota. Still others, Kansas and
southern Ohio, have just chosen coad-
tutors. There is awaiting conservation
of a new bishop Of South Dakota, max
ing five new bishops as the outcome Of
the spring conventions, and one as
that of a special meeting of the bish-
ops The number is unprecedented, and
IS due in large part to the new suf-
Rev. H Percy Silver for Kansas,
bishop Rowe of Alaska for southern
Ohio, with residence if he accept in
Cincinnati or Columbus, as may be de-
termined; Rev. n. S Kongley for Iowa
Rev. F. A. McIlwain for Minnesota, and
Rev. J. c. Linsley for Connecticut Rev.
George Biller is the new bishop for
South Dakota. It is not believed that
bishop Rowe will accept He has re-
peatedly declined to leave his work in
Alaska.
The new suffragan law secures to
the bishop of a diocese an assistant
holding the same relation to him, and
subject to his direction in the same
manner, that a curate in a parish holds
10 the rector. A cOadjutor bishop sue
ceeds upon the death of the diocesan
\ suffragan does not, any more than
a curate becomes rector when a parish
rector dies The plan is an English
one, with improvements in the Ameri-
can law. When the new men are
CHOSEN there will be six suffragans in
the American Episcopal house of bish-
ops. The new law was passed less
than two years ago.

WORLD MISSION SURVEY IS To

Mott, the American who was president
of the conference, at its head. Under
this committee the great societies Of
the world, spending $4,000, 600 to SIS
100000 and steadily increasing their
amounts. are to unite in examination
of fields in every part of the foreign
world.
In October Mr.. Mott will start on a
tour which will take in 20 conferences.
These will begin with work in north

Upon his return detailed reports will
be made TO all missionary societies
that are contributing workers and
money. The aim is unificatiOn Of the
