A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

If any man trespass against his
neighbor, then hear Thou in heaven,
and do, and judge Thy servants, con-
demning the wicked and justifying
the righteous.-I Kings s:3l-32.
IT is far easier to feel kindly, to act
kindly, toward those with whom
We are seldom brought into contact,
whose tempers and prejudices do not
rub against our own, whose interests
do not clash with ours, than to keep
up an habitual, steady and self-sac-
riheing dove toward those whose
weaknesses and faults are always
forcing themselves upon us and are
stirring up our own, A man may
pass good muster as a philanthropist
who makes but a poor master of his
servants, or father to his children
