Too Many Cannot See
Finer Aspects of Life

One autumn evening at sunset two
men were lettering on the picturesque
old bridge at Battersea, England. One
of them was a. writer, Woodworking
but unsuccessful.
The river was at a low stage, at
least three-quarters ebb, and on each
side of it there were patches of shin
ing mud that reflected the glorious
western sky, which turned the ooze
into a mass of wonderful colors
Though the writer was hungry, he
forgot his hunger as he stood there
watching. He was pleased to see the
other man also watching.
Presently the other man edged
little closer to the writer and re-
marked, Throws up a 'eap of mud,
don't she?"
1t was not the sunset that he was
seeing, but the mud. The glory that
was thrilling one was lost on the
other
The world is there in those two men.
They are representative; the whole
world might be ranged behind one or
the other-those who see the mud and
those who see the glory. In life ev-
erything depends on the eyes we look
with, and it is worth while to sacrifice
almost all else if, we may only get the
right sort of eyes. Modern realism,
so-called, is often the ability to see
only mud. 1t is also a form of blind
ness, the inabiHty to see the finer,
purer aspects of life.-Youth's Com
panion.

Recent elections in the Evangelical

important part in church affairs than
