which they are nil engaged calls into
exercise by its nature unlovely traits of

It is hardly necessary to say that ail
men need to “swing” the moral compass
from time to time and to take their
bearings in tho sea of life. Tho advice
is us true as it is coiivontional. Upon
tho uso of thinking for such purposes
we shall not, then, dwell. We may, how
ever, point out, as a means of strength
ening and invigorating tho mind in a
secular and worldly sense, the habit of
thinking is of the greatest possible value.
The minds of those who dread think
ing, ns if it were a penance, become like
the bodies of those fed solely on spoon
meat—soft and ‘ unable to stynd the
slightest strain; Reading, as one or
dinarily rends, is like swallowing pap;
thinking, like eating solid $6dd. .The
man who trains his mental powers by
meditation and by following outlines of
thought obtains an intellectual instru
luont a hundred tinges more'powerful
tirenc
than he.who L' con renr never to think
seriously and consecuti^oly. —London■
