HOLDING TO ONES PURPOSE.

Sooner or later there will come re-
minders of the query Should it be
according to thy mind?" One career
may be taken and another abandoned.
Such change of purpose and pursuit
should not indicate fickleness, for the
most resolute have experienced 1t.
Buds of unusual promise may sadly
fail of Towering. Trees and vines con-
fidently cherished, sometimes signally
disappoint in frritage. The alleged
ways of wisdom do not invariably re-
suit in their promised pleasantness
and peace. Faithful workers, in good
cause. themselves hindered and ham,
pered by circumstances beyond their
control, see fidelity to its opposite ap-
parently favored by smiles Of fortune
which they have woefully missed.
Now, without pursuing this phase of
human experience further. let us re-
call the great part Of human nature as
noting a divinity that shapes our
ends, rough-hew them how we may"
Go on planning as best you may, and
with determination which neither fire
nor food can vanquish. Yet the race
may not always be to the swift, nor
the battle to the strong. At the table
of generous bounty familiar face
may be missing evermore, and the
long.used chair be forever vacant. The
heart knoweth bitterness that seems
to faint its entire cup of life. Boosted
foresight fails to grasp the next NOR
row. Now the bugle sounds truce tc
longer conflict, and surrender is sig
mailed, as for the dawn of glad new
day. in "Thy will be DONE"
