him who would but live in the ways
of God.
Mahomet would have us believe
that the desires which animate us
the loves which thrill us. are not born

of the plant for the sunshine is born
of the soil which covers its roots

and higher things but opens wider
the spiritual gates through which He
may come to us and through which
we may go TO Him. No soul. how
ever SCARED with conflicts, burden
ed with sorrows or weakened with
troubles, is disowned in the distri-
button of His influence which con-
.sciously or unconseiously to the re-
eipient, is extended by the common
Father: for His love like His rain
falls alike on those who seek and on
those who forbear.
And if love comes from Him. if 1t
springs from an infinite good. it has
been given us for a %purpose.--a trust
committed 10 our care for which we
are accountable. We cannot escape
this responsibility, either TO our fell
low men or to ourselves, and as We
use this trust, such use shall be the
in which we merit or receive
the esteem of mankind.

1T is well TO pause, as We do. at
this hour to express a word of regret
at the passing OF others while life
remains to us. but IL is far better
to add to the sum total of what they
left by the way we shall fashion our

In the c%omplexity of modern civil

Each OF us is an influence, and we.
are made so by the very relations
We must sustain toward one another.
There is no such thing as human
isolation No such thing as confin-'
