To tread the heavenly road.
Sing, for your Master sang,
The deep triumphant song:

Dream of His crown and throne;
Rise, in your sleepless might,
And claim him for your own.

This will give us the clue to the secret of
personal influence, Probably we shall
find that our characters received their
bent and stamp through the impressions
made upon us at different times by a
quite limited number of men and women.
Probably they have affected us;not by
their special gifts or abilities, but simply
by their sheer goodness. Their faith be -

faces we caught our first glimpse of the

The Porter.
He is in danger of being forgotten. He
comes before us now as the man who
puts checks on our luggage, or the man
who carries parcels. The original porter
was different. I recall a scene of my
boyhood. I first entered the Bay of
Smyrna as a. cabin boy. One day I
was in Asia sent ashore to deliver a
parcel at the residence of a native mer-
chant far uptown, and when I reached
the place I made practical acquaintance
with the porter, a well-dressed, comfort-
able -looking man, who was impressed
with thedignity of his office. I took in
the scene. Here was the man and his
dwelling, a comfortable bunk on the
side of the portal was a part of the
equipment; here he slept by night and
'watched by day. This portal was the
only entrance. If a pail of ashes was
taken out it did not escape Itis noeice;
if a basket of fruit went in ror the
master's table, it passed under the eye
of the porter. All ingress and egress of
persons and things passed with the ap-
proval of the porter.
I have read a few books in my day; I
have had no such help to realize a scone
so vividly as that one visit afforded me.
The Master gives every man his wcrk
and he commands the porter to watch
(Mark xiii. 34).
.,This simple attitude suffers no dim-
inution in its transfer from Old Testa-
ment to New Testament times..
The entrance to the dwelling in those
olden times was absolutely one, like a
sheepfold formed out of 'a cave. The per-
, ter controlled the le stab]Cshment-tike.
moat important and best trusted ser-
vant of all.
The Master says, "I am the door," the
living, discriminating, absolute One. We
are under -porters and we are command-
ed to watch. What shall we let in at
the portal of the soul? Truth in its
purity, love in its simplicity, courage
in its energy, hope with its lamp— all
that makes for righteousness.
With redoubled care we roust watch
what cometh out.
The floor of the portal is like that
beach scene eo clearly set forth, dis-
crimination, selection, dispersion—"They
gathered the good fish and cast the bad
away."
Each believer must of necessity be a
watcher. Constant fidelity, wonderful
care, continuing instant in prayer. We
must be armed for silent services if we
are to be men. Our very friends are kept
by silences, rather than by confidences.
Our enemies ere weighed and measured
in silence, and we are secretly com-
forted that temper and irritation soon
wean themselves out. Napoleon sold the
Louisiana valley in 1804 to worry Eng-
land, and lately England's costly trea-
sures adorned the great occasion at St.
Louis
Seward bought Alaska from Russia
forty years ago with the same kind of
temper and lately a few gentlemen :Bs -
sussed and dined together and sealed the
business of the boundary line.
There was peace bej'ore there was war..
Let no be silent, solicitous, vigilant
'watchers on the walls of Zion.

Lovest Thou Me?
(By. Rev. D. M. Ramsay, D. D., hi Do-
minion Presbyterian.)
"He with unto him the third time,
`Simon Barjonas, lovest thou me?"'—
John xxi. 17.
Some people said it was impossible to
love Jesus Christ without seeing Him..
But if He lived, He could be loved, for
it was possible to love an unseen friend.
They could read Christ's word and learn
of His ways. Why couldn't ,they love
Him?
What was it to love Christ? Was it.
+'e -t they might have Him in their pos-
session? When they said they loved
Jesus they desired to make themselves
His rather than to have Him become'
theirs.
They could have no love for a human
being or even for an animal if they
only desired that person or animal for
themselves. No boy loves an animal
or a human being who simply Ants to
make it his own and not that he might
care for it.
The purer their love the more they
would desire to have some friend or
animal to love that they might serve
the objects of their affections and make
the world happier for them. The little
girl who put her arms around her moth-
er'; neck and said, "Mother, I want to
help you," proved she loved her mother
by willingly giving up her play in order
to belp the mother. As they loved fath-
er or mother or brother or sister, so
they ought to love Jesus Christ because
He was their. unseen friend.
Why should they love Jesus Christ?
They should love Him because of His'
leveliness. Jesus was the one perfect
flcv, er of the human race. He was
perfectly Iovely in the best sense of
those words. He grew up perfectly. spot-
less in beauty in spite of all the trials
that 'came upon Him, and continued so
throughout His whole life 9 k her

of Jesus Christ. See what moral,;cour-
age be had. They admired the beauty
of the ivy but did they not also admire
the strength of the oak about which it
clings? In the life of Jesus they saw
entwined all tenderness, all strength.
The great point wad that it was -for
their sakes that Jesus Christ wished to'
let men see His loveliness. It was for
the;: salvation that the Son of man
cams down on earth to live. Heaven
c. -u. not be their hope if Christ had
not borne His cross.
Why was it that so many refused to
love Christ? Because they preferred
other gods. There were people' in Ot-
tawa who had made a god of money
and were willing to become its servants
and toil for its sake. They were becom-
ing old before their time, in order that
they might pile up heaps of gold and
silver. They were malting themselves
small, were debasing their souls through
worshipping silver and gold.
Gold and silver and pennies were very
useful, but how many people there were
that would not put them to use. Money
did much good—built churches, sent out
Helping the Young.
The most potent influence on earth is
always a personal thing. Indeed, we
only exist as persons, and we only know
ourselves and know one another as per-
sons. "Right" and "wrong" have no pro-
per meaning except in regard to the rela-
tions between persons. Spiritual forces
are functions of personality. The awful
power which sways the stars in their
courses is blind and helpless compared

THE LUXEMBOURG THRONE.
Question of the Succession 'Has Again'
Been Raised.
Paris, ,Tune 24. ---'the action of the
eucceesion to the throne of Luxembourg,
which the marriage of the present Grand
Duke was supposed to have settled, has,
been raised again owing to the latter's
feeble health, and the improbability of!
his having a male heir, although he has,
six daughters. Count Merenberg, broth-
er of Countess Torby, wife of the Rus-
sian Granit Duke Michael, claims the-
right of succession. it is said, on the
ground that he is the last living hale
descendant of 'William of Orange, after-
wards William III. of 1?.ngland.
The Luxembourg eourt and Parliament
oppose Count Merenberg's claim owinge
to his alleged morganatic descent, and
support the reigning Duke's eldest
daughter as heir. Barron Lyberg, Mine
inter of Finance, lately wrote to Cour$'
Merenherg, weaning hint that this claitir
