LOVE WITHOUTJEALOUSY: Love
may exist without jealousy, although
rare. But jealousy may exist withot
love and that is common, for jealousy
can feed on that which is bitter, no les s
than on that which is sweet, and is sus
tained by pride as often as by affection.
Jealousy is poison. Jealousy may be
compared to Indian arrows, so enven
omed that if they prick the skin it is
very dangerous, but if they draw blood,
it is irrevocably deadly. The first mo
tions that arise from this root of bitter
ness have their evil effects; but where
the disease progresses, it poisons all
our comfrots, and throws us headlong
into the most tragical resolutions.

Is Love the Greatest
Thing in the World?
Has the question ever been seriously
thought? It has in debating clubs or
romantically, but ' et, the world is well
lost for love. love in its deepest
sense, it has lost much of its real mean
ing by the habits of people identifying
it with kindness or good humor. Now
let us observe love in the Christian fam
ilies. We will first recall St. Paul s
lyrical hymn of praise upon love in the
13th chapter of Ist Corinthians, now a
bideth Faith, Hope, Love and the
greatest of these three, is Love. He af
firms that love is superior, to faith and
hope, he insists on love, as the supreme
concern of Christians, because he knew
that without it there could be no health*
y atmosphere, for either faith or hope
Indeed we may sometime think that
people never set-m so irrelgious as when
they are members of religious society.
Petty rival, ies, animosities and person
al feelings get the better of devotions to
the cause of God. Men and women
clash and quarrel over simple things,
and sinners are often amused by the
scandal of christains falling out inspite
of their professed brotherhood. It is
the common life of thechurch, where
love lias its real test. Just as it is test
ed in the home, so it is in the family of
the church. For love is a force and a
force is tested by the obstacles it has to
overcome. There is more to say on love
than con be expressed. But let us love
not in selfish raptures, for in our varied
relationship we need to think carefully
of others. Not injure them, but warn
them and pray for them if we are chris
christians. The good of others in our
religious fellowship is the real essence
of love.
