THE WORD “LOVE.”
In th«» Orient It Means to Like or Is
Used to Express Good Will.
The word 'Tot e" has tiecn more high
ly specialized in the west than In the
east. In its proper English use it
means only that ardent, amorous feel
lug which cannot be created by will
and design. In the west the word
“love" has been relieved of the func
tion of expressing the less ardent de
sires, such as the terms ‘‘to like." "to
have good will toward" and "to be
well disposed toward" simply.
Not so in the east. The word "like,’
meaning "to he favorably inclined to
ward." is not found either in the liible
or in Ihe Arabic tongue. In the Eng
lisli version of the Bible it is used in
two places, hot the translation is iu
correct. In Ihe twenty lifth chapter of
Deuteronomy and the seventh verse
"If the man like not to take his broth
er's wife." should he rendered "If the
man ‘consent - not." and in the fourth
chapter of Amos, the fifth verse. “For
this liketh you. O ye children of Is
rael," is in the original. “For this ye
‘loved,’ O ye children of Israel." In
any standard concordance of the Hi
hie tlie Hebrew verb aheb—to love—
precedes these quotations.
So to us orientals the only word
which can express any cordial incliua
tion of approval is "love." Ouc loves
his wife and children 'e.s grapes
and figs and meat, if he likes these
things. An employer says to an cm
ployee, “If you ‘love’ to work for me
according to this agreement you can."
It is nothing uncommon for one to
say to a casual acquaintance whom lie
likes. "I must say. sahib (iriendi. that
I love you!" I know of no equivalent
in the Arabic for the phrase, "I am in
terested in you.” “Love" and "hate"
are the usual terms by which to ex
press approval and disapproval, as
well as real love and hatred.
From all this it may lie seen that
when the Great Oriental Teacher said
to bis countrymen, who considered all
other elans than their own ns their eu
emies, “Love your enemies," lie did
not mean that they should he enamor
ed of them, but that they should hav*
good will toward them. We cannot
love by will and design, hut we <er
tainly can will to be well disposed
even toward those who, we believe,
have ill will toward us,—Abraham Mit
rie Rihbony in Atlantic Monthly.
SAINTS OF ILLS AND TRADES.
Holy Friendships Consoled Pious Peo
ple In the Middle Ages.
The trustful and childlike piety of
the middle ages believed that the citi
zens of heaven were Interested in ev
ery phase of men’s lives, and there was
not a single trade, profession or occu
pation that did not boast a special
patron, while certain diseases were
thought to he cured and certain visita
ttons warded off through the interces
sion and agency of particular saints.
Thus St. Andrew was the patron of
fishermen, St. Isidore .of husbandmen.
St. Christopher of porters, St. Mark of
lawyers, SS. Cosmas and Damian of
doctors, St. Joseph of carpenters, St
Crispin of shoemakers, St. Vitus of ac
tof-s. St. Gregory of lingers, St. Disrnas
(supposed name of tue good thief) of
criminals condemned lo death. St. Apol
lonia was believed to cure toothache.
St. Blaise sore throat, SS. Clare and
Lucy sore eyes, while St. Benedict pre
served his clients from poison and St
Hubert from the bite of mad dogs.
“Men," says Montalemhert, “lived iu
a tender and intimate familiarity with
lhose forefathers whom God had evi
dently called to himself and whose
sanctity the church has proclaimed.
From the king and the pontiff to the
poorest workman each had a special
protector in heaven, and in the battles,
dangers and sorrows of life these holy
friendships exercised a most consoling
and strengthening influence.” lrish
World.
That Old, Old Table.
It is impossible to know who was the
author of the multiplication table, but
it is known to have been in existence
in the days of the builders of the ruin
ed cities of Mesopotamia, whose rec
ords are now being patiently decipher
ed by archaeologists. Tablets are
found which led ns of their system of
education, banking, accounting, Inisi
ness correspondence, etc., and among
others are multiplication tables. So
the multiplication table Is probably not
less than G.OOO years old.—Christian
Herald.
Reform.
A small tailor shop on the Bowery
burned out, and the tailor moved to
the next block. The morning after the
fire the following sign appeared In the

"Will be open for business at 2 ——

From Last
May 19th will bring to a close this
term of the Nicholls public school
which has been one of the most suc
cessful from a point of interest and
attendance that it has ever had.
There have been 337 pupils enrolled
and the work done by both teachers
j and pupils has been of the highest
order. The writer has watched v/ith
pleasure the growth of this school.
Fourteen years ago there was a
young lady who taught a summer
term of three months with 25 or 30
I pupils and since that time the
growth has been steady year by
year the interest has increased with
the patrons and friends of the
school, and each succeeding year has
been better than the year before in
many ways and especially in interest
and attendance. When the patrons,
friends and officials of a school be
came interested, the children’s in
terest will increase and when all be
come interested and are willing to
co-operate with the teachers and if
the teachers are willing to do their
work properly, success is sure. We
are nearing the close of the thir
teenth term. We have never had a
sorry teacher in our school.
Some of our present teachers will
return and teach for us next year.
Some will go to other fields of labor
where w r e are sure that they will do
as they have here do their work
well.

Institute of Blackshear came up
