So the chance of promotion was
honorably rejected, and Charles
Osmond settled down to terribly
uphill work in Loudon. Life never
could be easy to such a plan; he
was too sensitive, too wide minded,
too Christ like to be ever without
his share of Christ's burden—the
burden of the suffering, the signing,
the doubting. He was, too, in a
certain sense, an insolated man; all

Of course he was almost worship-

with a 'Ce"itaiii Class of character he
could make no way. He had one
great fault—a fault which repelled
some people, generally the "unco
guid or rigidly righteous," or those
comfortable people who feel no need
or desire for aymp thy. His fault
was this—he was too conscious of
his influence; be knew that he bad

long he had been strugging with
that deadliest, of foes, conceit.
He had the exquisite candor to call

ge r-
ed him more than to hear conceit
confounded with self-respect or` pro-

ceit was conceit pure and simple;
the word pride had lost its objec-
tionable weaning. To tell a roan
that he was proud would make him
feel almost gratified, would give
him a sense of dignity; but to tell
him he was conceited would be sure
to give him a hard home thrust.
So he went on in his straightfor-
ward way, struggling with his
deadly binderance, daily almost
hourly—checking himself, pulling
himself up, as he drifted into the
all too natural habit of self approv-
al. He had not crushed his foe as
yet, but he had risen immensely by
the effort. It bad belped greatly
to increase the manliness, the hon-

which characterized him. Fully

Osmond's very apparent fault must

it did prevent his ever assuming
