Endure Only BY Religion.

Moral qualities must be rooted IN
religious experiences. What Is the
genesis Of this quality in the soul? Let
US admit that it may be found with
out religion. Accident Of birth, q
happy geniality of temper, immunity
from the more pressing idlls of life,
may aid in its production. Are there
not those so fortunately balanced in
mind and body that the storms of the
soul seem to them unknown? Are there
not others whose days seemed passed
In quiet harborage. immune from the
troubles which others are compelled to
meet? Yet, these people can be
found. But We must not go to them
for guidance. We might as we'll ask
Crusoe for information about the
Plague Moral qualities are not tS
be left TO the accidents of birth or
temper; they must be rooted in re
ligious experiences II they are to en-.
dure.
The grace Of kindness springs from
the love of God for man. That for.
giveness which has come to us SO free
ly through Christ must move us to the
exercise of pity for the weak and sut
fering, Challenging a return OF that
love asking US to love God because
he has first loved US. It leads US easily
to entertain toward men that af.
fection by which We ourselves have
benefited.
This quality will show itself in a
conslderate thoughtfulness for others.
One of the poorest apologies for our
cruelties is our own lack of thought
1t is no justification for the bitter
word that you did not recognize Its
bitterness. Speech was given to heal
wounds, not to make them tester. The
harsh dogmatism which recomnizes no
difference Of opinion, and beats down
all opposition. cannot coexist with a
true kindness Of spirit.-Rev. Arthur

WIN BY KINDNESS
Is the Inspiration That ChaI-
Ienges the Affection of All to
Whom 1t Is Shown.

HV He grace Of kindness, how indis-
pensable 1t is to the completion
of any human character! When
Constable asked Turner to look
at one Of his pictures and tell him
what was wrong with 1t, the great
landscape artist peered at It for a
time then ran ripping line Of brush
work right across the canvas and
made It live. Such a master touch
on the character of man Is this add
ed grace Of kindness.
The inspiration of a kind heart De-
prived of this virtue, the strength Of
the giant becomes an engine of wild
brutality. The more vigorous and
foceful the man is, the more damage
he Is likely to do in mis- ruth
less course through life unless re-
deemed by the inspiration of a kind
heart. And under the influence Of
kindness the most harsh of men will
reveal traits of humanity with which
he would ever have been credited. By
Marie Antolnette in her miserable pri
son there stood every day one of the
soldiers Of the revolution. He had
watched the sad face of the discovered
queen, and her miseries touched his
soul to pity. During the hot days Of
that summer he went to buy for the
helpless woman a melon from one Of
the fruitsellers of the streets. When
he told the rude virago from whom he
purchased 1t that 1t was for the queen,
she picked the best from her stall
and handed It to him. saying; "Ah,
well, one woman may at least do this
for another. shall take no payment

To Those In Authority.
That authority which is bereft Of
kindness may be effective in maintain
Ing discipline, but will never get the
best service from subordlnates. 1t ia
not the fear Of the knout which will
make the bravest soldier. Men may
be dragooEed into silence, but for
the devotion which counts death a
trife, for the valor which hesltates at
no peril, there must be the belief that
the commander cares for them and
has their welfare before his mind.
Whoever would manage men must
found his claim to control them OF
their belief that he is affected by their
anxieties and takes delight in their
well-being.
To goodness this quality is indis.
pensable, but which fails to create az
lection. 1t Is rigid as a marble pillar
and cold as the polar seas. 1t never
deviates from the plain path, knows
nothing Of the vagarles of weaker
men, and cannot understand the ap
peal Of penitence for compassion. Such
goodness repels rather than attracts.
1t may move US to a sullen awe,
but will never weaken our hearts to
live. Kindness alone can create that
fame.

shorthand by a tribe of Indians who

of a French missionary, lie Jeune by

district of British Columbia few years
ago. He found the natives supersti-

their language. He soon learned the
Indian vocabulary. and then began to
write by means of shorthand signs
which represented all the sounds the
Indians use in pronouncing the words.

Owe has It's tides, and when mans

tou-ard tee obiact haconaa Darn

I Owe has It's tides, and when mans
love begins to ebb, his attitude
toward its object becomes carp
ing and critical.
He neglects, snubs Sights, wounds,
seorns, torments and almost insults his
late sweetheart by his bored indiffer
ence, and she, when writing to me Of
his changed attitude, is such a meeN
little worm in the dust that she inVa
riably concludes her letter with this
plant: Il love him, and I can't give
him up"
She doesn't know what love is! The
love that meekly endures insults is not
love. 1t is the sentiment of the cring
ing slave. A girl who will tamely ac-
cept taunts and abuse and reproaches
from her lover doesn't merit better
treatment. She deserves a husband
who will make her tremble when ne
lifts a finger. and that is just the sort
Of future she is cutting out for her
self.
Patience Lost
l lose all patience with girls who
make such statements az Il love him
and can't give him up" after the man
has proven that he isn't worthy OF the
love of any respecting woman.
There isn't anything due these girls
but contempt, the sting Of which may
hurt. but its effects are good ana
wholesome.
They would kiss the hand that smites
them. They would hold a man against
his wishes, and they would say to him
in effect:
"Other girls will try to queen II over
you, but look at me! l recognize your
right to rule. l am your slave!"
Come back" such a girl cries w.
abasement, and wipe your feet on me
Come back and treat me as you would
treat dog at your heels. Anything
anything, only that you return and
grant me the JOY of crawling through
life at your feet"
That, IN effect. is what the girl says
who writes, 81 can't give him up" and
that. in effect. is the treatment she re-
ceives If her humility succeeds In win
ming the man for a husband.
Every man feels that he is a lord Of
creation, and the best of them impose
on the women who love them. When
the girls humility is like that Of a
slave, she confirms the man in his
opinion that he is the highest Of Gods
creatures, and that when he makes
love it is equivalent to STOPPING from
a throne to notice a beggar maid.
He grows more arrogant more con-
ceited. more domineering. He knows
that he can treat a girl just as his
hood suits him, and even wander of
