Qod’a Heroes. •*•*«*•»

The broad prin-
ciple of the whole people In this criti-
cal matter should be not to employ
any single person unnecessarily on the
day of rest. Each encroachment seems
small in Itself, but it is an encourage-
ment to others to follow on, and the
aggregate soon becomes startling and
revolutionary. We implore them not
to give up the habit of worshiping
God, at any rate onoe, on the Lord'a
iday, whether In town dr country. We

Charm of a Gentle Spirit
Once, in crossing a meadow, I came
to a spot that was filled with fra-
grance. Yet I could aee no flowers,
and I wondered whence the fragrance
came. At last I found, low down,
close to the ground, hidden by the tall
grass, Innumerable little flowers. It
was from these that the fragrance
came. I enter some homes. Thera
Is a rich perfume of love that per-
vades all the place. It may be a borne
of wealth and luxury, or It may be
plain and bare. No matter; it la not
the house nor the furniture, nor tha
adornment that makes this air of
sweetness. 1 look closely. It Is a
gentle woman, mother or daughter,
quiet, hiding self away, from whose
life the fragrance flows. There Is a
wondrous charm In a gentle spirit-—

ments and combs and even In finely

Is used for such pieces, and a collar
consisting of six rows of beautifully
cut Jet beads, held together by up-'
some consideration for that admir-
able class of men, the railway ser-
vants. The hundreds of thousands of

rate, once In the day. If possible In

Charity of Speech.
Unkind words do as much harm as
^unkind deeds. Many a heart has been
Wounded beyond cure, many a reputa-
tion has been stabbed to death, by a
few little words.
There Is a charity which consists In
withholding words, in keeping back
harsh Judgments, In abstaining from
speech, If to speak Is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tala of slan-
der, but does not repeat It; Ustons In
The Armor of the Chrietlan.
We have all our tender points. When
Thetla dipped Achillea in the Styx, she
held him by the heel. He was made
Invulnerable wherever the water
touched him; but hie heel, not being
covered with the water was vulner-
silence, and forbears comment; than
able, and there Paris shot his arrow,
jStory alive and lends It vigor.
It ie in the kind and gentle heart
We may think that we are covered
with virtue till we are totally Invul-
nerable, but we have n heel some-
where; hence the absolute necessity
of taking to ourselves "tha whola
armor of God,” so that there may not
be a solitary Joint In tha harness that
shall be unprotected against ths ar-
rows of the devil.—Spurgeon. . |
(that charity abides with the peaceful-
ness of a dove. There it makes its
home, and, by tha word withheld and
the kindly words outspoken, we have
the sign of the dove of peace nestling
In the heart. For kind words are like
“apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
1 The heart that Is filled with bitter-
ness will give vent to It In words. It
sees nothing bright or beautiful be-
cause Its vision is clouded. Words
are a good test of temper and habit
of thought As “to the pure nil things
are pure,” so to the malicious and Ill-
tempered all things are black, unlove-
ly and of 111-repute.
•unshine and Shadow.
As ths sunny day Is for Joy, thf
grey day is for duty. Whan ths sun
will not shine wo have need of all our
courage end manliness. We gather
our tools and go brsvsly to our work,
as those who live earnest lives. The
day’s task must be accomplished what*
ever the sky may be. So we whistle
or sing at our work because the day.
Is gray, and we would keep up our
spirits. Something we must do to
make tke day brighter for others. We
must not leave the sick or the lonely,
to sad thoughts; we must make sun-
shine wherever we go, because “light
Is sown for the righteous, and glad-
ness for the upright in heart.” i

Quiet Thoughts.
Let us bury our idols and raise our
Ideals.
Yesterday’s success may be the se-
cret of to-day’s failure.
Too many persons are looking for
an Impersonal religion.
Most of us long to live our lives
over again, with the yesterdays left
oat
The love of Christ is ths conducting
medium to the love of nil mankind.
As n spring lock closes Itself, but
cannot be unlocked without n key, so
we of ourselves may run Into sin, but
Fitly spoken, words fall like the
sunshine, the dew and ths sumgier
rain; but when unfitly spoken, like
the frost, the hall, and ths desolating
tempest Therefore, by our words ws
proclaim what wt are.
Confidence In Ood’s Purpose.
Human action doee not always evi-
dence its purpose—much less does
Ood's. The man who Is going to rear
n lofty edifice begins by digging deep
into the earth. Descent is the first
essential of the firm and enduring as-
cent So God seems to os, In our
shortness of sight and lack of Infor-
mation, often to move in n direction
contrariwise to His supposed purpose.
He wants His cause to go forward,
and He forthwith takes away Its lend-
ing exponent To him who believes
In the all-wisdqln and Infinite benefi-
plicable dispensations ought to be the
best evidence that there is distinct
purpose in It If the explanation
seemed sore and easy to man, there
