We have m our midst a certain
young divine whose entire theme of
conversation is criticising and abusing
other people. Ho seems to think
that he is a fit model for all to mould
by. He is perfection and all others

wrong. You should look at your own
walk in life, and if you are not satis
fied with the way other people do
we say, profit by their misconduct and
say nothing.
People in this community are geat
ly excited lest they do something and

will have to leave a perfect blue
steak behind us until we catch up with
the season.

Tle Rod in God’s School.
In the school of human life the
i divine teacher not only gives instruc
| tier., but often applies the rod; and
on none does the rod fall more beavl
ly than on those who are too head
strong or self conceited'to be taught
by God or man. Who of ns has net
at some time telt the smart of that
\ deserved rod ? As we turn over tl e
1 leaves of life’s record book we come
up n those silly, self-willed days
when presumption mounted the en
gine, and prudence never used die
brakes. To one comes up the sad
memory of lost opportunities to gain
certain kinds of knowledge, the want
of which leaves a mortifying gap; to j
another the memory of a premature.]
rush into business without a proper ]
training for it—or the choice of com
panions who were a subtle poison to
the soul—or some other pitiable blun
der that has left its ugly scar.
I might point to more than one de
jected, care stricken woman, to whom
sighs are her daily breath, and tears
are her daily cup. Time was when
that face beamed with girlhood’s glad
ness, and when her maiden band
held on the-pivot of a yes or no the
destiny of her life. Passion said “yes,”
prudence said “no.” Parents and
wiser heads warned her that she was
intrusting her heart to a man who
would break it. All this proved but
wasted to one who l ad determined
to have her own way, and a thorny
way it has proved to her. If the pity
of friends could smooth that care
piowed face, and tight up that dreary
home, then she might he a happy
queen to-day. Hut pity never mends
shattered porcelain. Pity comes too
late for those who are “wise in then
own conceit,*’ for no spot on earth
affords such a poor market for good
suggestion as a self-conceited head.
If young people will not listen to pa
rents or superiors, they must learn
wisdom from that bard hearted old
teacher, stern experience. In the
management of God,s great earthly
school there is always a rod in store
for the fool’s back, as well as a crown
for those who seek the wisdom that
cometh from above.
Paul struck a very profound truth
when he said: “If any man thinketh
that he is wise among you in this
world, let him become a fool that he
may become wise.” That is, let Mm
be teachable. If Newton had been
above learning from the fall of an ap
<ple, or Galvani above learning from
the twitehings of a frog’s limbs,
science would have lost two of its
most 1 rilliant discoveries. The high
est proof of statesmanship is to be
taught by the logic of events. He or
she who waiteth at the door posts of
heavenly wisdom is sure to be led
into usefulness and honor. The soul
that is always keeping its eye open to
watch the leadings of Providence,
and its car always open to catch the
“still smalt voice” of the Holy Spirit,
is the soul that seldom commits a
serious mistake. Emptied of self, it
is constantly filled from the fullness of
God.—Theodore 1. Culyer.
