l or not. The great Being who called l forth Adam out of his thoughts into the morning sunlight of Eden; that wonderful and powerful Ruler of the Universe who put forth into space 1 those wonderful suns and planets, with their satellites; who gave Jupiter it's moons and Saturn it's marvellous rings, and causes the rainbow to ap- pear after the storm, certainly put us here for a purpose. Even those mar through space sing as they shine the hand that made us is Divine. All these
 things were made and created to fur

 Governed by Circumstances.
 It Is not so much hereditism that governs us asl it Is circumstances.
 England and Ireland sit side by side,
 governed by the same king. The Eng
 fish born of Protestant parents are
 Protestants; Irish born of Catholic
 parents are. Catholics. It is eircum-
 stances over which they have no con-
 trol that made them what they are;
 and did it ever strike you that if one
 ed by words and deeds after man
 is dead had been spoken and done
 while he was alive. that this would
 be a better world and we a happier
 people. It is the kind deed done for
 brother while he is alive, and in need
 of our help, an act done to help him
 along the way of life. a loving word
 spoken to a wife, that are all of far more moment than all the costly fow
 CTS or eulogies bestowed over the re-
 mains of our departed brothers The notices and creeds and all the choice words and phrases of all our orders instruct and command us to show our affections and brotherly love to our friends in this vale of tears. Our or der teaches us, 'If you have flower to give. give it today One throb of gladness is worth more to the living than a wealth of costly blooms laid tenderly above the dead.
 "Be Ye Kind to One Another"
 Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn, and one act of brotherly affection makes us all wonderous kind. That NaZarene car penter who walked and taught in far others as they W-S1d that men should 60 ur>t-c rem Be ye kind to one an- other-not in the next life, but in this" That we should be kind to our broth 1 CTS and help them here below is taught 1 by nature and by science. History also teaches us that it pays l to be loving and kind in this life, and i there is no telling how far kind and i loving act may reach. The great 1 Duke of Normandy was one day riding the northern part of Normandy, which | we now call France. As he rode along1 he saw 8 comedy peasant girl washing clothes in the brook. He was taken with her beauty and modesty, and aft CT some days told her he wished to make her his wife She could hardly believe that the duke was sincere in his statements; but she finally mar ried him; and when she saw the true owe and affection he displayed to her, ignorant as she was, and how kind md loving he was to her, she gave lim her all in the son she bore That and, and made England what it is, md laid the foundation of our great system of Jurisprudence. That son ot he lowly Normandy peasant girl was v nfiarn the Conqueror. Art teaches he value in this life of true love and Affection. Hippo Lippi was in his day he greatest of all painters of Madon las. He went one day in Italy into a convent to select a model to sit for Jim: The young girl he chose consid, .hoose her to sit for the painting of the Mother of Christ. He was taken with fer purity and modesty and made her lis wife. When she saw how kind and owing to her. lowly though she was, he gave to him her all in the son she ,ore him; and that son became as amous a painter of Madonnas as was lis father. The only illustration of it's ,ind in the whole world of art Re igion teaches us to give our aid, and love to our brothers turing their life time.
