Why Envy7

Envy Is a sordid passion 1T Is a
bilious mental condition. It under

clear thinking 1t naturally obscures
the probability of exact justice in out.

mind focusing its powers through dis

sequences can be but improbable. II
not evil
Men seldom envy their interiors.
They are seldom jealous Of those less
fortunate than themselves. The en-
vious spirit is usually a morbid con-
fession of self weakness. The fact Ia
that an honest searching of the heart

one envies those who are doing what

CHRISTIAN EHDEAvOR
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning Aug. 8, 1918.


Topic.-The ideal Christian viii His
perseverance. Heb. vi. logo tConsecra-
ton meeting) Edited by Rev. Sherman
II. Doyle. d. D.
The ideal Christian must be one who
possesses the attribute of persever-
anee. Nothing else viii bring success
and victory in the Christian life, This
is true In every walk Of life. Many
men fail In business and in the profess
sional world because they lack this
trait Of character They may have
rare talents and abilities. hut il they
lack 'stick-to-it-iveness" they fail soon
er or later,
On the other hand. many with less
ability succeed In the end because they
possess the power 10 persevere. The
same principles bold good in the Chris
tan life.
The Christian is commanded to per-
severe Christ says. BE thou faithful
unto death and will give thee the
crown of life" Paul said to the Gala
tians, Let us not be weary In well do
ing, for In due season we shall reap II
we faint not" The author of the book
of Hebrews thus exhorts his readers:
I'VE desire that every one of you do
show the same diligence to the full as
surance of hope unto the end" Unto
the end" 1t must be unto the end or
It is worthless.
The Christian must persevere or 90
backward There is no standing still
in the Christian life. We must go for
ward or backward. There is no middle
course. Nor can any one ever reach a
point in Christian experience or serv-
ice where he can be justified In think
ing that he may remain as and where
he Is,
Perfection is the Christians aim. and
1t is not to be reached In this life, but
always to be striven for. Paul had
served God through many years of rich
experience. and yet he declared that be
still pressed toward the goal for the
prize of the high calling of God In
Christ Jesus"
II Paul had not attained. how could
any of us ever imagine that we had
reached perfection?

Dear Aunt MGdge;
Hsve just been readir the column for July
10, and just must doesn't that sound queeril
write line. Can hear, in Imagination, the
censure Of the readers that has been heaped
upon the NJ. b. sisters for the past month for
letting you do all the work, and know from
experience how the sisters have feit-have
resolved they would write, and then did not
ing now.
Yes, how near Augusta seems compared
with louisiana Hope to see Meb at reunion.
Thought sure was going TO send Aunt Maria
at least a card OF coincidence, for know it 10
so hard for such an active woman to be set
aside for even few weeks. And I was going
to send P. R. L. a card, too, but am afraid /
shall have to answer for many things 1 don't
do.
Where is the other letter we were going to
request. / once lived in Aroostook county
and near the border. so your letter and Deli's
experience in Calais bring mp remembrances
Of those days.
Now for a few things I have learned,
which, though simple in themselves, are g

and you lose less juice.
Wash lettuce, put in a pail and cover
tightly before putting on the ice, and 1,
viii be crisper and keep longer than any other
way.
Did you ever try canning strawberries and
rhubarbf The combination Is better than
strawberries alone. We slice strawberries
once or twice and put sugar over them for
from twelve TO twenty-four hours; then drain
and cook syrup before putting in berries.
Your hasty niece, Mol.
Your suggestions are just in seasonl
When read what you wrote relating to
washing strawberries before hulling
them, said to myself: "Why couldn't /
have thought Of thst?" And, really, why
don't we use our common-sense a little
more freely7 After someone inyents
some simple contrivance which saves
work, we wonder why we had not
thought of that ourselves.
A friend visiting me helped hull ten
boxes OF straw berries this morning, and
she said to me that the little sstongs" that
come IN bourbon boxes are handy for re-
moving the huiis OF berries. l give yeu
this tip. Mol, in return for your telling the
best time to give strawberries bath.

A cool BIT OF NONSENSE.
It's not the thing when weather's hot,
To talk about the Hottentot
Far better in these August days,
Observe the Coolie and his ways.
His icy home by polar seas
Is decorated with frieze
I'm stop to say, II you don't mind,
All Coolies are not of this kind.
His food consists of one plain course
OF goose-lesh served with chile sauce.
When asked to sing, he'll nod and beam:
81 do not sing he says, "Ies -creami'
He has sled his pride and boast,
He lives upon an Arctic coast;
And when he's out OF Jack AFrost's realm
He'll quickly seek slippery elm.
In,dancing many hours be spends,
And / the snow balls he ate nds,
His partner he will gaily swing,
little frozen dainty thing.
Now here think ia better stop;
The mercury's commenced to dropl
Shut every door and window, please,
Before we all begin to sneexel
