OFFICE: Corner Broad St. and College Ave (upstairs) old Y. M. C. A. Rooms. GRATITUDE. Os all the graces to which man is heir to gratitude is one of the most enobling. But man alone is not the only creature that is pos sessed of this faculty. You have seen a dog when his master has given him to eat. place his head between his masters hands, and a look of gratitude would come from his eyes. Yes, animals are possessed of this. Man, in his blindness, sometimes forgets, and smites the hand that gives him tread. You have seen it. We have in our muds eye several per sons when friends have tome to their assistance in the hour of need, when the wolf of hunger would linger at the door, when the dark clouds of adversity would hang above their heads, and dispel the gloom by timidly aid, but when they gained their feet would take the first opportunity to do them an injury. We have heard of men who have rendered assistance to others in various ways, loaned them money, fed their familys, when the frowns of the world were upon them, but as soon as it brightened for them, because more was not done, the demon lurking in their hearts would be so awfully sevare as to say: “I hope that someday you will be compelled to beg bread from me?’ We heard a sto»y once relative to the cuse in point. A who had been in the habit of borrowing from another, and who never returned anything he borrowed, and yet was neve refused, had company at his house, but lacked a partition. So looking over to his neighbors he sawt he door shutter, and conluded that would answer his purpose. He sent over but the other man said that he could no possible loan his door shutter because it was night and he needed it himself. Upon receiving this word the man flew into a rage and swore that his neighbor was the meanest man upon the face of the earth. It is just such ingratitude that makes the world as near the domanis of the devil a» it is. If we had gratitude, we would have charity, and if the earth was enveloped in charity the millenium would come on apace; the desert places would bloom and smile and the world would be happy in the love which should pervade the earth as the waters cover the channels ot the great deep.
