Belnu Agreeable.

The true art of being agreeable is to
appear well pleased with all the com.
pany. and rather to seem well enter
tanned with them than to bring enter
tainment to them. A man thus dis.
posed may have not much learning nor
any wit; but II he has common sense,
and something friendly in his behavior.
It concillates mems minds more than
the brightest parts within his dis.
position.

Mary, are you going to let the
shadow Of the past generation prevent
our happiness ?" he asked.
The girl went softly to her aunt and
placed her hands upon her shoulders
Aunt. are you going to ruin our lives
because your own was rulned?" she
asked
The old woman's face was like a
mask. "As his father did to me, 30

to me again-never-"
Mary turned away. You see. Ralph.
It is impossible" she answered quietly.
rs there nothing can induce you to
relent, Miss Amanda?" inquired Ralph
Lester quietly. The old woman saw
how bravely he bore the shock. and
the thought of his suffering added fuel
to her ancient hatred

Miss Dorothy rose to her feet, and
her face was ashen pale She held out
the package toward her sister. Slowly,
with trembling fingers. she unfastened
the ribbon which bound it. and the
scent of faded perfume diffused itself
through the room.
These letters explain all" she said
Miss Amanda uttered a gasp of fear
There were half a dozen unopened let
ters in faded ink. and the handwriting
of them. addressed to her, was that
of Robert Lester.
This is why" said Miss Dorothy. "I

The mask had fallen from Miss

with tears.

And the two old women wept In
each others arms. And Ralph Lester
drew Marys arm through his. and
pressed his lips to hers.

H:13.
Verses IA and Is link this parable
with the teaching of Jesus about cove
tousness and stewardship. Verse Is
is n most heart-searching one. 1t de-
mands that we look well to the stan
dards by which we measure our con-
duct, | Sam. 1877. That the teaching
of Jesus was effective Is evidenced by
the statement of verse a. These
Pharisees were naturally cool, cynical,
calculating and their scofIlng shows
that Jesus had probed them deeply.
Their love of money-service of man.
mon--made them unfaithful in their
professed stewardship. In the inter-
vening verses (16-1S) Jesus condemns
their attitude of seeking to Justify
themselves in the sight of men, de-
claring such an attempt to be useless
In the sight of God. The methods men
exalt are an abomination to him No
jot or title of the law can fail. This
he emphasizes by an illustration about
the binding nature of the marriage re-
lationship. We get our suggested two
fold division of this lesson from Tim.
As.
Why He Is Condemned.
I. The Life That Now Is, w. 1922.
The revised version for verse 10. now
there was a certain rich man"-indi-
Gates even stronger than the King
James version that this is the story Of
a historical incident. Jesus did not
mention the rich mans name. nor
does he enumerate his moral delin-
quencies. Even morality cannot save
man from punishment in the next
life. Nor is this rich man condemned
because he is rich. He is condemned
ures in this life, squandering his time
and his money upon sensual pleas
ures, ignoring the need of those at his
door. Jesus had Just told these Phari-
sees how to use money ". 81, see
Tim 6:17-19. A wrong use of money
damns a man. A few paltry charities
or even larger gifts given for ostenta-
tious display will not suffice. There
was, however, no real Joy to the rich
man In his life as he sought sensual
satisfaction, Eccl. is. Lazarus lying
at the door was n living rebuke to his
self-indulgence. Here is another of
those vivid pictures that not alone re-
veals the misery but makes an indeli-
BILE impression on the mind. II is bet
ter, however, to be beggar, sore and
hungry in this life and go to heaven
hereafter, than to enjoy the pleasures
of sin for season and be forever in
torment in the life to come. The name
Lazarus means God his help" and is
an indication of his character. It did
not look as though God was mindful
of his own" but the sequel abundantly
corrects such an idea.

Positions Reversed.

II. The Life Which Is to Come, w.
1881. Unconscious of the need of 9TH
ers here the rich man is very much
conscious of his own need in hades
when subject to torment and anguish.
There is no need of trying to minimize
or TO explain" nor to deny these
words OF Jesus. He'll is for the will
fully disobedient, and was never pre-
pared for man Matt. 25:4D. On
earth he saw Lazarus "at his gate"
now with Abraham, resting Sin his
BOSOM" Their positions are reversed
the petitioner is now the rich man
who begs for mercy" though in life
he showed none at all. His plea was
for his tongue; that organ had been
pampered in life but now 1t is in mis-
cry. because deprived of earthly salts
faction, The solemnity Of this lesson
is very great. AS we have suggested
Luke does not call this a parable. 1t
is possible that Jesus auditors knew
the very people OF whom he was speak
ing, some notoriously wealthy citi-
Zen recently deceased, and some WELL
known alms-seeker. For a moment
our Lord withdraws the curtain to
let those about him read the story,
catch, for an instant, a glimpse. He
shows us that the attitudes CT today
determine the destinies of tomorrow.
The experience of life beyond death is
determined by the use Of the life that
now is" The gate of heaven is without
our self-centered life and often takes
the form OF beggar To wrongly en-
ploy our wealth, to live within the
gate OF seltishness will shut the gate
OF heaven in our own faces. II we
pass without that gate OF selfishness
and minister, presently We find we
have made friend In the life beyond.
1t is not the crumbs we give the beg
gar, that which We do not miss, It
must be self-emptying service.

PENNSYLVANIA ATTACKS
THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Declares That its Consequences Pres
ont and Future are Appalling and
II Is an Outworn Garment.

Washington.-An attack upon the
Monroe doctrine as an outworn gar
ment which should be cast aside for an
International court, was made in an
address Friday before the American
Society for the Judicial Settlement OF
Information Disputes by William l.
Hull of Swarthmore, Pa.
Its consequences, present and fu-
ture, are appalling" ~ said Mr.. Hull.
Some Of its past applications and the
possibility of its applications in the
future have done more than everything
else put together to ALLEVIATE our neigh.
bors. The Latin-American fear of the
new Monroe doctrine is greatly re-
tarding our mutual commerce and
causing profound and widespread in
ternational mistrust."
He declared that this country en-
tangled itself with Germany and Jap
an because of its "sensitiveness" over
the doctrine.
