Proverbs.

Also, that the soul be without knowl-
edge, it is not good; and he that hasteth
with his feet snneth.-xix, 2.
The wrath of king is as messenger
of death: out wise man will pacify it.
In the light of the kings countenance is
life; and his favor is as a cloud of the
latter rain.-xvi, 14-15.
The Lord possessed me in the beginning
of his way, before his works of old. Twas
set up from everlasting, from the begin
ming, or ever the earth was. When there
were no depths, was brought forth, when
there were no fountains Astounding with
water. Before the mountains were set
tied, before the hills was | brought forth.
While as yet be had not made the earth,
nor the fields, nor the highest part of the
dust Of the world. When he prepared the
heavens, l was there: when he set COM
pass upon the face of the depth. When he
Eestablished the clouds above: when he
strengthened the fountains of the deep.
When he gave to the sea his decree, that
the waters should not pass his command
ment: when he appointed the foundations
of the earth: Then was by him, as one
brought up with him: and | was daily his
delight, rejoicing always before him; re-
joicing in the habitable part of his earth !;
and my delights were with the sons of
men.-viii, 22-31.

The Test Of Character.

New York Herald.l
"e waketh uprghty worketh righteousness and
speaketh the truth in his heart. Psalms, Ky,
This is the man, according to the Psalm
list, who is destined to abide in the taber-
nacle of God and dwell in His holy hill
Not the man who conforms to particular
ecclesiastical regimen, or accepts specific
theological belief, or belongs to an especial
church, but the man who walks uprightly,
works righteousness and speaks the truth
in his heart-he it is who will be received
of God in the end! 1t is the moral test, in
other words, which this supreme religious
genius insists upon applying to the prob
lem OF salvation. In his judgment, it is
character which constitutes the sine qua
non of spiritual life.
In saying this the Psalmist is not alone.
On the contrary, nothing is more impress
sive than the unanimity with which reli-
gious prophets have agreed upon this
simple proposition. 1t makes no difference
whether we turn to Moses, with his two
tables of the Law, Or to Isaiah, with his
mighty cry, "Wash you, make you clean,
cease to do evil, learn to do WE'LL" or to
Micah, with his declaration that the Lord
requires only that we ''do justice, love
mercy and walk humbly with [our] God, !"
or to the preacher" with his famous
''conclusion of the whole matter:-Fear
God and keep his commandments, for this
is the whole duty of man. or to James,
who tells US that "pure religion and unde-
filed before God and the Father is this -
To visit the fatherless and widows in their
affection and to keep ones self unspotted
from the world" or to Paul, with his i'm
mortal exaltation of love as the fulfilling
Of the law. or to Jesus, with His Golden
Rule, His Beatitudes and His two great
commandments, or to host of others, in
side and outside the Jewish and Christian
succession, from the most ancient to the
most modern times! 1t makes no differ
ence, say, where we turn. The prophets,
by whose mouths God has spoken unto
men, all agree that it is the righteous man,
the truthful man, the pure man, the just
man, the humble man, the, loving man,
who will ''inherit eternal life" Other
J things, such as the acceptance of a creed
or the repeating of prayer, or the belong
) ing to church, may be helpful, but nc
one of them can be regarded as essential
1t is character that counts! 1t is life thai
tells! 1t is the acid of moral idealism thai
; separates the dross from the gold!
1t is time, high time, that we listened to
psalmist and seer, gave ear to prophet and
apostle, returned to Isaiah and Jesus ano
| Paul and learned of them. Then woulo
we see that it is the heart that counts, love
, that conquers, the spirit that redeems
And then perhaps We would be ready tt
} receive into our fold, as God into His holy
} hill. she that walketh uprightly, workett
, righteousness and speaketh the truth il
, his heart" and ask no further questions!
