OUR BRIGHTSIDE LETTER.
Coming and Going.
There is a great deal of it in these
times all the year round, but never so
much as there is at this season. The
stations and trains are crowded until
one wonders where all the people come
from and why they would not rather
choose to bide at home. Yet they all
seem happy and are certainly cheerful
and noisy; those who go, fresh and
bright, and those who come, wearied and
soiled with travel. Some are coming
home from summering in the country.
iuiu me i iinui cu nave int-ir nanas run or
trophies and relies, and many stories of
wonder and adventure to tell. Some are
travelers returning from across the seas,
with strange hats and foreign clothes,
enriched with memories and enlarged in
tnought and vision, better than by many
books. But the greater part of the moving
throng are school and college people?teachers
and professors, before
whose fine training and accomplishment
we mentally lift the hat; students and
pupils, about whose future we have anticipation
and hope, and before whose
possibilities of usefulness and honor
and happiness we literally stand uncovered.
We silently hope that these teachprn

"'see visions" which are not in the books
or the laboratories, and that this army
of the young are all going to the right
schools and will surely learn what is
"the beginning of wisdom."
Certainly we have a great deal of restlessness
nowadays.
"I want to go somewhere?I want to
come back.
Are the shuttlecock cries of the soul."
As if people had no homes, or did
not love their homes, and were not sat
isfied with the order and peace and love
to be found there. Some travel so much
that they lose their love of home. Some
rob their homes by their absence. Some
find their homes, like the far-flying sea
birds, only on their wings. And we are
sorry for them.
One group in the waiting station was
the minister and his wife, going to a
new charge, and they looked serious,
almost anxious. Duty had called them
from a pleasant home to go to a strange
place, to take up new responsibilities
and make a new home among strangers.
How could we l\plp saying, "The Lord
be with you and prosper you?" Another
group was the missionary returning to

his work in a far-away land, with wife
and children and numerous bags and
boxes, for the long journey by land and
sea. And it was the happiest party we
have seen. There wer& no tears, no regret
nor complaints; they seemed happy
that, after some waiting, problems were
solved and they were permitted to go
back again to the service assigned them,
far away from home. All the self-denial
and sacrifice, the toil and peril, seemed
a yoke that was easy, a burden that was
light. In the crowded train we silently
asked for a rirh blood.," **-?

Do you know that there was a funeral
party in the crowded station? Without
that, sad and tearful, it would not have
been a picture of life. "One generation
goeth and another generation cometh."
The bridal party in the center was
young and joyful as it had a right to
be, and bright with color ?and flowers.
In a quiet corner the mourners, in their
black, were silent and sorrowful. This
was the text that came to mind: "Our
days on the earth are as a shadow, and
there is no abiding. For we are strangers
before thee and sojourners, as all
our fathers were." And another text
that came in this scene of constant
movement, this picture of the world's
transitoriness, was this: "For we have
not an abiding city, but we seek after
the city which is to come."
The wisest economy consists, not simply
in cutting down expenses, but in learning
to want less.
