"Yet, that Church love was not
bounded by a selfish horizon. He had
a deep and abiding interest in Will

longed to see it become a solidarity
which would unitedly promote the in
terests of the Kingdom. None had
better opportunity to know this fact
than the officer of the Church, brought

relations with this friend and brother

John T. Hamilton, in the Whining

"When John S. Mullin died last

Hest and most progressive citizens.
Emerson says that you are under
a disadvantage in taking with nearly
every man you meet because he has
some crochet pet foible or popularity
which compels you to be on your
guard or very careful.
John S. Mullin was not that kind
of man. He was not going to fatter
you or be guarded with you. And you
felt, if you were a iatterer or given
to guarding yourself, that it was not
necessary for you to be careful.
Emerson said this kind of a mar was
a real friend.
"You could tell him that you dis
agreed with him and he was not of
Tended or hurt. He could disagree
radically with you and you could not
take offense at it. 1t was always re-
freshing and inspiring to meet and
talk with him.
"The truth of the matter is John S.
Mullin was an honest man because he
expressed the honest impulses of his
being and did not guard them from
mercenary motives. Has the time
gone when an honest mar is the
noblest work of God?
"There are too few men like John S.
Mullin. We would be very much bet

they are multiplied then will be saliva

genial and companionable, and in the
work of the Church and of all social

element of much value. In all the
circles of good citizenship his loss will
be felt appreciably.
wWhen a citizen of this character
is stricken down at an age that we do

is a loss to the entire community, as

"Retirement."

A tired feeling has evidently turned
the thoughts of several of our readers
toward pensions and retirement.
They will feel better when they have
had holiday!
Until then, we venture to remind
them Of the dire effects that frequent
ly result from giving up WORK.
Work is the most Nep-rooted Of
habits-with those who have been en-
gagged in 1t till past middle age Sud
denly to renounce it isn't safe. We
can recall edifying-if unverifed-
tales about those rich men who retired
and died at once; or else came back
and asked to be made office boys, In
order that they might be saved from
boredom.
You don't believe these storiesf
Then you reject our proffered consola-
ton. You will have to fall back on
the far hope of an old-age pension,
perhaps, big enough in these days-to
nourish an understood sparrow.-Lon-
