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. News Here and There We have had the hardest wiuter this winter we have had since 1889 and 1917.

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. Mrs, S. M. E. Gordan, organist for Ebenezer Baptist Church, was out again Sunday-- to the delight of friends.
