TRUE LOVE OF SLOW GROWTH
But, Having Powered, There 10 No
Test Which 1t Cannot Pass With
Triumph.

True, lasting love is little slower
In starting than is false love. 1t is q
little more dignified; a little more
truthful and pure from the start. 1t
Is less disturbed by Jealousy and
trifling differences. 1t is more sturdy,
though less fiamboyant. 1t is less
easily disturbed by frosts Of misun'
derstandings and other disturbances.
So much for the beginning Of love.
The second test of love Is time
Observation-Disclosures. The passing fas.
cination shows itself in this test|t
cannot pass it; it cannot last.
Only true love lasts, and that lasts
because it reaches down to the bed
rock of mutual esteem, and is Of dura-
BILE material; Of mutual interests and
sympathy it is compounded.
When love has passed its second test
-time-it Is usually able to pass its
third test, which Is altruism, or ser.
vice. -.=-
At some time or other in life, love
always asks: What will you give for
love? And he that loveth truly an
swers: I will give my time, my per
sonality, my position, my wealth-aH
will Iogive for love.
But he that does not love deeply,
says: I would keep love, but I do not
wish to give up too much for It
Foolish fellow. His love fails In its
test. He loses his love because he will
not pay the price Of keeping it.
The final test of love Is its inf1u-
ence. True love makes one better.
The wrong sort Of love is degrading,
not uplifting. He does not love truly
who is not finer, stronger personality
because Of love.
Real love Is the sun Of ones life
It brightens, gladdens, uplifts and

! It IL pity that we have allowed op-
nrobrium to attach to the good old
word servant" opprobrium utterly un-
merited. Talk about ''help," or the lat

they discharge him. The lawyer serves
his clients, the minister his parishion-

dent Of bank is a servant, and SO y
the president of railway. The presi-
dent Of the United States is the hired
servant Of the people Of the United
States, and few servants in any occu-
patton are more abused by their mas

Service, well and faithfully per
Sormed, is the only real dignity, and
all the outward pomp and insignia OF

disgraceful If they are not earned !
Service is life. 1t is only when We
are doing something to serve the large
movement of the world what we are
entitled to live in it, that we really 90
live in it. Life is measured by useful
ness. OF all the varied affection that
,wift-footed age can bring, none Is
more oppressive than the sense OF di-
minished capacity for service.
Not to be ministered unto, but to
minister not to be served, but to serve,

New Metal Discovered.

A new metal has been discovered in
the Nelson mining district Of British
Columbia by Andrew G. French, and 1t
has been named Canadium. 1t Is allied
to the platinum group and occurs pure
In the form of grain and short crystal
line rods, and also an alloy, and assays
give three ounces or less to the ton.
Canadium has brilliant luster, and,
like gold and silver and platinum, does
not oxidize when exposed to the air; 1t
Is softer than platinum and its melting
point is great deal lower. The ply.
steal and chemical properties Of the
metal are to be studied at the chemical
laboratory Of the University Of Glas-
cow.
Canadium is the first new metal to
be discovered in anything more than
lnfnitesimal quantities since 1885.
