AS Edward Gibbon, an Englishman,
was visiting in Rome in the Eight
eenlh century he was sitting one eve
ming in church that had once been
an ancient temple. Some barefooted
friars were singing vespers. Sudden
ly, as he sat there thinking, there
flashed through his mind the idea of
telling the story of how the tremen-
dous temples and palaces of Rome fell
into decay. The result was The De-
cline and Fall of the Roman Empire"

ALREADY WAS GOOD WRITER
Amusing Story of Frank H. Spearman,
the Author, and His Young
SoH

An amusing story is told of Frank

Kimberly" of the shock he gave one
of the brothers of St. Mary's college,
Oakland, Cal. Mr.. Spearman sent one
of his boys there to school, and, the
boy was a great favorite with one
of the brothers who was noted for his
penmanship, and for his ability to
teach it. He prided himself on turn
ing out the best writing pupils of the
west, and he thought that Spearman
was one of the best of these.
One time Mr.. Spearman was talking
TO him, not knowing that he was the
teacher of writing. He said, IF there
is one thing that l do want it is for
that boy to be a good writer
But indeed he is a good writer"
the brother began
Il want him to be a clear, forceful
writer, none of your little fancy pen
pushers"
Upon this the mild hammered broth
er rushed to his desk, and brought
back some specimens of young Spear
mans hand writing. He was In
great furry of excitement. He was
used only to compliments.
Mr.. Spearman looked surprised for
a moment, and then he began to laugh.

penmanship. l meant that want him

VIII.-Little Compromises That Make
For Happiness.
copyright, 1910, by Fleming H. Revell
company.

| For Happiness.
TvHIS life of ours is constant
series of compromises, of con-
cessions, of surrenders of what
we hold dearest and accept
Rnces of what seems second best
1t is compromise, sacrifice, paying
tribute, placating power making terms
with the neutrality-suspicious. with
some one, something, some system.
Sometimes it is involuntary, sometimes
under protest, with the same variety
of cheerfulness we manifest when we
surrender our watch to a highWayman.
Some of these compromises are unjust,
unWiSe, cOwardly; some are necessary.
There is one place where the spirit
of compromise has only its beautiful
side-that is, the home. In the home,
where we can turn key and lock our
world in and the smaller world out,
compromise reaches it's highest dignity.
1t is love manifesting itself in kind
ness, thoughtfulness, tenderness, for
bearance and self surrender. Love
makes such compromise an instinct of
the soul. 1t is as inseparabe from real
love as perfume is from the rose that
exhales it. Compromise in its true
sense is settling differences by mutual
concessions. To be real it must ever
be mutual. If the spirit of compromise
be ever on the part of the husband
only or the wife only it is unjust. 1t
then means absolute selfishness on the
part of one, stimulated and intensified
by the unselfShness of the other. 1t
makes a Dead sea of love wherein the
waters of affection flow without isSu-
ance-constant assessments with no
dividends.
If marriage meant the wedding of a
saint and an angel there would be no
problems to solve, no perfection to at
tain, no progress to make, This may
be why there are no marriages in
heaven.
On earth, except in the pages Of fc-
ton, it is different. Husband and wife
Rre usually strongly human. No mat
ter how lovingly united or how sweet

CHURCH ARIsTocRATIc.

The wage Garner has small
voice in the matter. The modern
church is seldom organized so as
to reach him. He has dropped
the churcn-at least, the Prot
estant churches-or the churches
have dropped him. The churches
are dying of dry rot, yet within
them few seem to realize why.
That cause largely lies in the
conservative determination to in
sist on various credal platforms,
and once this policy is adopted
the exodus of the progressive
part Of the church membership is
only a question Of time. The
church does not represent today
the whole people as once it did.
Disheartened by its proved i'm
mobility, its would be reformers
have left it or have been driven
forth from it. Its 'standpatters'
remain within il, rule its DELHI
erations and direct its policy. In
a democratic age and country
the American churches are aris-
tocratic.-Dr. William S. Rains

Bad blood is responsible for more

and worse troubles.

wonderfully successful in purifying
and enriching the blood, removing
