does not fall Within Christ's -definition
of a neighbor, thereat no need of
bringing more evidence. God knows
all the circumstances from beginning
to end. What you think tog what I
think doesn't natter a turn of the
hand. We're all .trying to make a
superficial reconcilaition between the
plain teachings of, the gospel and our
own thinking and speakink and acting
—whittling down God's yardstick,
with the foolish idea that by this
means we can 'nteasurtt up.'. We don't
seem to realize that it's_our little foot

use his own when the time comes.

just tho same now. They will mean
just the same when we're all judged
by thein' by and by. Our little bicker -

This will, which has lately been
proved, is said to be the shortest on
record. 11 is written on the baclt'of
a girl's photograph, the portrait of the

Though said to be tine shortest will
on record, this is not quite the fact,
for there is one which consists of

For example, a young Ulan, well-
known tothe writer, recently applied
for work to a big firm who are the
proprietors of a well-known patent
food, "No vacancy!" was tile reply
whicb greeted him. "But what -about
your inspector of advertisenents?"
asked the. young titian,
"Inspector of advertisentents7" said
the manageprr. "Wo have, not got one."
"Well, then,' replied the young elan,-'
"the scone3 you have one the better.
You want a elan to go about the coun-

who, on being refused an increase of

firm of furniehers and decorators and
suggested to them treat they should
start an "estate deportment" for let-

adopted his scheme and put the
young clerk iu- charge of the depart-

week and commission on the houses
he let and sold. He made $1,000 in
commission the first year, and now
has a big proprietary interest in the

I am more powerful than the coin-

I have destroyed more men than all

I am more deadly than bullets, and
1 have wrecked more loonies than the
mightiest of seigC guns,
I spore no one, and find my -victims
among the rich and poor alike, the
young and the old, the strong and the
weak. Widows and orphans know
me.
I loom up to such proportions that
I cast my shadows over every Held of
labor, from the turning of the grind-
stone to tate moving of every train,
I massacre thousands and thous-
ands of wage earners in a year•.
I lurk -in unseen places, and do most
of my work silently.
You are warned against me, but
you heed not.
I am relentless, I am. everywhere—
In the' house, or the street, in the fac-
tory, at the railroad crossings and
on the sea.
I bring sickness, degradation; and
deathl, yet few seek to avoid ole.
I destroy, crush or maim; I give
nothing, but I take all
