Awed for myself, and pitying my
race,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty
wave,
Swept all my pride away, and tremb
bling I forgave!”
Practical Points.
1. Life is too short to fret itself
out over other people.
Now, you take that down, and keep
it with you, we have not long to live.
2. If we are as critical in our ex
amination of ourselves as we are of
other people, we may see ourselves
with less mercy than- we show other
people.
You try that! Work it on your
selves, and see how it works out. You
try to be just as critical of yourself
as you are of other people. You be
gin to try —you women —to criticise
your own clothes, just like you do oth
er peoples! Then criticise your general
conduct, then your religious life, your
whole life. See how it works out!
If you don't mind, you will find that
you are giving other people a great
deal less mercy than you are asking
people to give you.
3. Perfect peace is the product of
perfect love.
There is nothing truer that that. The
greatest peace that ever throbbed in
a human breast is perfect love. Love
of God and love of man. It is when
we love God consciously and love man
because man is of God, then is when
we feel happiest.
4. What the law demands, grace
supplies.
No use trying to make up for these
things by good deeds. You can not
do it that way. You can not work
yourself into relation with God; it has
to come along God’s line. God’s for
giveness of you. Your forgiveness of
your fellows. That is the way.
5. Christ can not dwell in an un
forgiving heart.
Never mind how hard it may be.
A person came to me the other day
and said: “I just can not forgive a
certain person, because that person
has done me a great injustice, and I
simply therefore can not forgive.” I
said: “Do you know then that you
will go down to death doomed, world
without end? You can not go inside
of heaven with an unforgiving heart.’’

MISS CRANE’S CHANCE.

because I did not have the brain pow
er to do it, for I assuredly have not
been held back by anything except my
personal limitations.”
“I certainly agree with you,” Miss
Crane, answered in a cordial tone.
“For I have read ‘The Granite Times,’
for years, and if it has not stood for
things which exalt a nation, then I
am deplorably ignorant of what print
ed righteousness is. So if you will
give me a pen,” she continued, gravely,
“I’ll write you a check that will at
least attest the sincerity of my inter
est in the success of your paper.”
/ He handed her a pen, and when she
had written out the check, and quietly
extended it to him, David Howard
supposing it would probably be for a
hundred dollars, stared in amazement,
when a glance revealed the amount
it really called for, laid it down on the
plane of the desk, and buried his face
in his hands.
“Ten thousand dollars!” he exclaim
ed at last, when he looked up, and
could speak, “My dear Miss Crane,
you must love the great cause, for
which my paper stands.”
“I do,” she said, with a thrill in her

besides, I do not know of any better
way to help humanity than to give
them God’s eternal truth through the
medium of a weekly paper.”
“Thank you a thousand times,” he
returned, “not only for the big check,
but for you words of good cheer and
encouragement.”
“You see, Mr. Howard,” she explain
ed, as she arose to go, “I have had
a large fortune left me recently, and I
realize the weight of the responsibil
ity invslved so much, that I am trying
to give away the greater part of the
income where it will do the most good.
And if I should live to see next year, I
will be glad to duplicate that check,”
she added, graciously, as she arose to
go, “if you should happen to need it.”
<r Wait a moment,” he said, in a voice
of deep emotion, as he clasped her
hand in both of his. “Do you know
that you are a revelation? That you
are indeed a wonderful answer to
prayer, and that I want to know more
about you, where you live, and how
I can keep in touch with you?”
Miss Crane gave him her address,
and turned to leave the office, when
he again delayed her.
“Now, is there anything under heav
en,” he inquired, “that I could do for
you?”
“Nothing except that you might put
my name,” she replied with a sad lit
tle smile, “on your prayer list.”
“I certainly will,” he answered. “But
tell me, why is it that a woman who
has the power to give a fortune away
—for ten thousand dollars would mean
that to many people, should not be
perfectly happy?”
“Because the friend,” she replied,
and a shadow fell across the intellectu
al calm of her face, “who gave me this
fortune has gone away, never to re
turn.
‘Tut you will see him again, you
know,” he said swiftly comprehending
perhaps the romance back of her
words. “Meantime —be happy.”
She smiled, and made him a graceful
gesture of farewell, but the editor fol

watched her disappear down the shaft,
he murmured, “The angel in grey.”

“As for Church, ‘'Emily F.,’ makes the
mistake common to many others in
large cities; she attends a large, fash
ionable Church, where nobody knows
her, or has time or care to do so.
Were lin her place I should seek a lit
tle struggling Church —not of necessity
of her own denomination —where any
help, or even attendance, would be
welcomed. Then I should begin by
speaking to any one about me who
seemed lonely and in need of a word
of cheer. I would attend their mid
week prayer service and when a ‘so
ciable’ was announced, I would be
present, always seeking to befriend
those who need help and trying to
forget myself in ministering to them.

city I attended for three months a

services, took a class of ‘bad’ boys
(this usually means mischievous), and
gave the best of my spare time and
energies to them. I visited them in
their homes —some of these very poor
indeed —and did all the good I could
