nest of our entrance into jpy

r Ie many of us are, through
of God, enabled to approxi
teousness in our wider so-
cial relations, there are but few of
us who are Christiike in the home
life. I have sinned must be our
plea: for pardon must be our prayer.
A renewed life must be our resolu¬
tion, that Christ may he our portion.
The gross sins of the believing
Christian are, largely, not those of
immense or awful delinquency, ’dost
of us managed to keep out of prison.
Few of us have to stand for trial
upon charges of overt crime. Most
of us, by the mercy of God, are guilt¬
less of the sins which shock the
senses. The defiling sins of the
Christian in his home life are what
we are likely to term the weaknesses
of life. For you and for me, petty
faults are oftentimes the greatest
sins. With us the proneness to say
the unkind word: think the unwor¬
thy thought; to do the hard act or
to sneak the stern sentiment; to give
the rein to anger or to let passion
rule; these are the most detrimental
and defiling sins. Many a mother

"For me to live is you say.
But do you live the life? Are you
thoughtless of the rights of others.
Are yon self-centred rather than
world loving? Are you heedless of
the needs of men? These are minor
things in life; these are the trifles.
But to the soul that is growing up
toward God. and out toward men,
and that is spreading roots through
the eternities, they spell either fail
ure or success. As has been said,
“success is made up of trifles and
success is no trifle.”
Selfishness, hastiness, inconsider¬
ateness, all these are the sins which
weight the soul. For those of us
who have laid our hearts at the feet
of Christ, they are the sins which
keep us from attainment unto spirit¬
ual perfection and the strength of
the Saviour. They are the cancers

. ‘ To thine own self be true, the poet
Joyalty to God precludes disloyalty
to man and to seif Trueness to self
implies Chnstianly speaking, that
the man is in harmony with man
and WItb tJod.
Trueness to the highest and ho
!>est . motives and ideals that are
within us brings greatest happiness
an( f peace. Right thoughts produce
an< f conserve a right life. High
thinking is a tonic. Low thinking
breeds disease. Clearness of heart
means clearness of head. To grovel
spiritually is to declare one’s self to
be a sloven mentally. We must keep
ourselves purified of unwholesome¬
ness If we would attain the heights
where holy men dwell.
Education is not salvation. Knowl¬
edge is power and should induce pu¬
rity. But the pure in heart—mind
you. not the strong in mental force
-—the pure in heart alone see God.
The vile of soul are always in the
depths of hell, and all the wisdom of
all the ages could not pull them out.
A clean heart fits a man for life’s
labors. We cannot submit ourselves
to the rule of our evil passions if we
would escape ruin. "Our bodies are
good servants, but poor masters," is
an apt and a wise saying. The Christ
was a power, because He had a
healthy jnind and a pure heart. To
Him evil was hateful. For Him love
was the law and the light of the
world. For God is love.
To be pure, to be gentle, to be no¬
ble, to think kindly and to act wor¬
thily, to be right toward man and in
the sight of God, to be growing con¬
stantly into God-likeness, that is to
he truly Christiike. And to those of
us alone who are trying, as Chan
ning has said, “to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious grow up
through the common,” who are liv¬
ing nearest to the source of all love
and of all life, is it given to say, with
very truth,"Forme to live is Christ.”
Seeds That Grew, Seeds That Didn't.
"I have noticed that when the
green leaves have appeared, and
have lifted themselves a little above
the soil, it often happens that a bit
of soil adheres to them and seem to
weight them. But, as the plants go
on growing, they cast off these
specks of earth and push on valiant¬
ly. Some of my seed must have been
dead, for though they had abundant
time for sprouting, they did not all
appear; they lay there inertly amid
the earth.
"Which things have been a kind
of a parable to me. Though the liv¬
ing seeds in their growing have car¬
ried on their leaves some of the soil
as they grow they are flinging it
off, while the dead seeds are help¬
less under the earth. A Christian
may be carrying some mean and un¬
seemly earthliness. But if he be
ready athrill with the new life and
growing, he will be quite sure to
slough it off in time. Let me be
patient with him and give him a
chance. God does. The hopeful fact
is that he :'s alive and growing.
Dead seeds are powerless. So are
dead souls.”—Dr. Wayiand Hoyt.
The Footstool and the Watchtower.
How many answers have been
missed simply because we did not
follow onr petition with a heaven¬
ward eye and with the calm wait¬
ings of expectant faith! Remember,
when you pray, go at once from the
footstool to the tower.—J. Vaughan.
a Bewildered Taxpayer.
An old negro, who has accumulated
enough property to buy a small home,
entered the office of the list-takers to
return his possessions for taxation, as
all good citizens do.
"With what cognomen did your pa¬
ternal ancestor burden you?” asked
List-taker Charlie flitch, in a noncha¬
lant manner.
"Huh?" asked the taxpayer, and
“What’s your name?" was asked.
“What's your longevity?” was the
next question asked, and “Huh?” was
again the response. The old darky
was doubtful whether or not he was
possessed of any longevity.
"Where do you hesitate, and what
earthly possessions have you accumu¬
lated during your sojourn on this ter¬
restrial globe?” inquired the list-tak¬
er, but he again had to explain to
the bewildered negro, who then nerv¬
ously made his mark and hastily made
his departure.—Charlotte Observer.
