A rough-cast man rose in a country
meeting-house to tell liis experience:
'it was in the north country, when
the snow lay deep on the ground, that
the HhieklTv Lord God found °" t j01 at ban
Hinckley and converted , his soul. j ______ And
the leafless trees gave praise to God.”
Is there one among ns Who might not
report to himself something like this
bappy convert’s story? Who has not

0 • e ?’ ea t order . and seen all the world
“'radiated . with

shi P er * Blessed is the man who hun

already be holds in his soul the richest
treasures. We who believe in
fT ° d need n °t be seriously troubled
“bout the fate or state of honest non
believers, for we may count their very
' honesty as a sign of the real presence
and the finest inspiration
Once accept the principle of dutv
and all life becomes an honorable dis
eipline and a steady advance. There
is no higher rank on earth or in heaven
than the rank of personal goodness';
and he who loves it, seeks it, and
practices it for its own sake is surely
moving, however slowly, toward the
perfect life.
Here also is tho cure, and the only
cure, for our restlessness and self¬
dissatisfaction. “No man can serve
two masters.” But he who falls
heartily in love with virtue is no
longer distracted by a divided allegi¬
ance. Ite has nothing else to do but
to occupy himself with learning and
doing wliat is right and reasonable.
Having settled tlie central principle
and leading purpose of his life, every
step onward and upward makes the
next easier; and the law of habit con¬
tinually operates to confirm this deep
hearted choice. He is no longer driven
by the lash of conscience; he is no
more a servant, but a son, and the
Father’s house is his happy home.
Here too is the secret of victory
over our trials and depressions. When
shall we half realize the grandeur and
glory ot simple rectitude Let me
again repeat a tale of veal life. Years
ago, and far away, I knew a woman
of m<jst fine and excellent qualities
whose deeply shadowed life was like
a long crucifixion and martyrdom. In
one of her letters she said. “My youth
is gone, my hope is dead, and my heart
is heavy; but I neglect no duty.” In
reply I sand: “If you could ask God
for just one blessing, and could be
sure of that one and never of another,
would you dare pray that your youth
might come back, or that your earthly
hopes might be renewed? Would you
not ask for a living principle within
yourself that would make you neglect
no duty-? And can you not see that,
in giving you the love of righteousness,
lie has really given you tlie best thing
in all the universe?” In her next let¬
ter she wrote that this view of the
matter was new to her own mind, but
that she accepted it as true, and found
in it strength to take up her burden—
a burden carried, as I believe, with
patience, courage, and constancy to
the end, which was not far away.
not love it for Himself alone: he him
gers for its triumph over ail the earth;
he longs fqr the banishment of every
wrong. Hence his zeal for justice is
sweetened with good will to men, so
that righteousness becomes one form
of benevolence. The right is always
the good. Hence the ethical passion
kindled from the heart of Jesus has
flamed out in abhorrence of wrong
and evil, and has lent su '’P ort
vigor to every movement fo. refo, m
and welfare. “It is a spurious virtue
that can contentedly see vice thrmng
by its side.” The gospel is no gospel
if it does not turn the hearts of men
toward each other as well as toward
God. It is no gospel if it does not unite
all believers in wise, we! t-cons d ere J.
and earnest movements for the cleans¬
ing of the world and the better order¬
ing of all human life. Righteousness
is rightness. To hunger and thirst loi
righteousness therefore is all one with
the prayer that God’s kingdom ma>
come. and that His will may be don'
on earth as it is in heaven.
“Never Refused God Anything.”
Florence Nightingale said: “If I
could give you iuformatioii of my life.
it would be to show how a ay oman of
very ordinary ability bas been led by
God in strange and unaccustomed
paths to do in His service what lie
has done in her. And if I could t
you all, you would see how God ha.
done all. and I nothing. I have worked
hard, very hard, tiiat is all: and I hate
never refused God anything.”
Do Not Delay.
To-day is a good time to mend yon
life where it Has need of it. Takethe

genuine honesty and fiUt l - “
