A REVELATION OF TRUTH
The Pure in Heart See God Because i
Them the Eye of the
"Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see God." --Matt.
v. 8.
In an important sense every man
is the maker of his own ge d, wor-
shipping that which is the reflec-
t•on of his own knowledge and the
feel personification of his desires.
Thia accouuts for man's persistent
imagining of a deity in his own
form, since he knows nothing high -
or; it is also accounts for our at-
trituting to that deity the pecu-
1i; ities of temper and taste which
are our own.
We have a confidence that in
some way all life is united in one
great lfe, that all our love and
Lope spring from one great heart
which loves and hopes, and so we
give to this great, all embracing
life the color and form of our own.
U=•ubtless our consciousness of that
divine and universal life is a reve-
lation of truth, just as our consci-
ousness of ourselves is the highest
proof of our being.
The danger comes when we pro-
ceed to make our consciousness of
OW or our personal conception the
standard and form for all others.
Vie say this is my lord ; this must
also be yours; you have no right
to believe any other than I believe
or to cherish any other pictures of
the divine. Such a demand is sim-
ply equivalent to a claim that you
have exclusive supernatural pow-
ers for the discovery of truth.
But- the danger of emphasis • on
our personal ideas as to the deity
goes farther than this; it makes es-
sential that which is only inciden-
tal, and central that which is
BOUND TO BE DECISIVE.
For the great thing is not to be
able to describe a god, but to be
conscious of and live by the divin-
ity of all life; not to be able to
se•. up a deity outside ourselves,
but to realize God in ourselves.
The great question of religion is
not that of the form or appearance
of any divine being, but the realiz-
ation of the fact of an eternal and
sublime divine life that runs
through all life, in which we have
a part, of which we are a part, and
of which all that is fair and good
and lovely in our world is the reve-
dation.
Wo have talked with pitying su-
periority of the deluded peoples
who worship forms and representa-
tions of their gods; how much wiser
or better are we if we worship de-
scriptions and definitions of our
god t There is no essential differ-
ence between the worship of a ver-
bal delineation and the adoration
cf a wooden or a stone delineation.

LEADER OF FASHION.
HIS GOD CALLING HIM.
We need not look far to find the
eternal goodness; it breathes in a
child's affection, a mother's devo-
tion, a patriot's service ; it chal-
lenges us in deeds of heroism and
sacrifice; it comes in the quietness
of the eventide and thrills in the
inelodies of nature; it is found on
tee pages of life rather than in
the logics; it is within us and all
about us rather than in books and
printed pages.
The pure in heart are the poets
of the world who sec its goodness
anal its glory, to whom it means
more than things to be bought and
sold; it means messages of love,
prophecies of larger life, j:.ys that
lie too deep for words, and fore-
tokens of a life to which this is but
the gray before the dawn.
The pure in heart are they who,
through all life's toil, through all
the cares of business and engross -
hie duties, keep undimmed youth's
vision of things better and more en-
during than daily bread and mol-
dering raiment, who keep single the
aim of life itself as the thing for
which we are living and to not con-
found the tools and agencies of liv-
ing with the life itself.
With our heads wo may discover
a diety who is but a larger man,
with our hearts, simply, purely
seeking the best, through the love
of the spirit wo come to know a
world that is divine, glorious even
through its shame and struggle,
speaking of love in a myriad voic-
es, winning us to living above the
gust, assuring us that we are es-
sentially of this same divine life.

STORIES OF THE
LATE KING
i
1118 FAVORITE HYMN.
King Edward's favorite hymn
was "Nearer, My God, to Thee."
HIS SADDEST MOMENT.
The saddest moment the late
King ever experienced was at the
Deathbed of Queen Victoria. "I
felt as though the whole world was
filled with a great darkness," was
His Majesty's remark.
"IF HE WERE DEPOSED."
lt•,i Edouard."
MANY-SIDED MONARCH.
The late King was: Bhrrister,
Field -Marshal, Admiral, Trinity
Brother. Doctor of Civil Law, Fel-
low of Royal College of Physicians,
Doctor of laws, Farmer, Cattle
Breeder, Horse Breeder, Scientist,
Fireman, Doctor of Music, Fellow
of Itoyal College of Surgeons.
AS A BOOKMAN.
His Majesty was a keen reader.
Old black -letter volumes, early edi-
t•ic.ns of the English classics, and
books on sport especially appealed
to him. Another interest of his
Majesty's was shown by the number
cf books in his library dealing with
famous wars, the Crimean War be-
ing most fully represented. His
Majesty once went all over the
f;lincipal battlefields in the Crimea.
A ROYAL REFORMER.
"The housing of the working
classes," said King Edward, "is
a subject in which I have long
taken a deep interest. As long
ago as 1884 I was a member of the

it really did occur I could support attendant upon the existence of in -
my family by lecturing on the. Con-
stitution in America."
HIS FAVORITE FLOWER.
King Edward'e favorite flower
Gas the rose, and his favorite name
Louise.
AS A COLLECTOR.
The late King was a collector of
walking -sticks, of which he pos-
oessc d many historical specimens.
Ile also collected matchboxes, cari-
catures, and model ships.
IN 1118 MOTHER'S STEPS.
"It will bo my constant endeavor
to walk in my mother's footsteps,"
he stated when he camp to the
throne.
"A FORTUNATE MAN."
"I have been a most fortunate
sanity dwellings. I then personal-
ly informed myself of the condi-
tions actually existing, by visiting,
in sew ral parts of London, some
of the most unhealthy districts."
HIS FAVORITE NOVELIST.
His favorite novelist was Mrs.
Henry Wood. He read "East.
Lynne" while touring in Palestine
with Dean Stanley.
A CLEVER LINGUIST.
King Edward could speak several
languages with equal felicity. When
one hundred delegates of the Inter-
national Association of Academies
visited Windsor in 1904, his Majes-
ty shook each delegate by the hand,
and spoke to hirer cordially in his
own language.
HIS WONDERFUL. MEMORY.
"I have an excellent memory,
real treasure for a prince," lie
wife, charming children, and
whole nation to
(/lease."
HORROR OF GAMBLING.
a' how great or how humble a age, or under what crowded,
changing surroundings, ho was
able to recall the exact circum-
stances of the presentation years
afterwards.
AS A SPEAKER.
King Edward had a strong, com-
pelling voice, almost unrivalled in
the two houses for clearness and few strips of angelica or cherry in
penetration. Queen Victoria had the top of each glass to give it a
his Majesty taught elocution when pretty t•,ueh of

"I regret to say, said the tutor,
"that I cannot get rid of the
Prince's German accent; and when
he's older and has to speak in pub-
lic the people will not be pleased
with it." The Queen, therefore,
ordered that the future King
should give a daily reading before
het in pure English.
REASON ENOUGH.
"I have a horror of gambling,"
King Edward wrote to Archbishop
Benson, "and should alwaysdomy
utmost to discourage others who
have an inclination for it, as I con-
sider that gambling. like intemper-
ance, is one of the greatest curses
which the country could be afflict-
ed with."
A ('itt'EL "SPORT."
King Edward would never coun-
tenance pigeon -shooting. Ho also
converted the Royal Buckhounds
into a pack of fox -hounds in order
to discountenance the keeping of
tame deer for the purpose of so-
called "sport."
ALWAYS "IIS PEOPLE."
"Will my people ever forgive
me?" were the late King's first
w, rel: when he was told that he
would have to submit to an opera-
tic.r. and the Coronation festivi-
ties would have to be postponed.

THE LAUNDRY.
Kitchen Soap. — Ten pounds
grease (saved drippings) melted not
too hot and poured into an old tin
clothes boiler. Two cans lye dis-
solved in two quarts of hot water,
slowly stirred into the hot grease.
Stir constantly one and one -halt
hcurs, towards the last adding tw•e
tablespoonfuls borax. Empty into
paper lined box and within four
hours' time, before it. gets too sited,
cut into twenty-five pound bare.
Care of Flatirons.—When flat-
irc•ns are not in use keep each one
tied up in a tight fitting woolen bag
or old stocking top. This prevents
them from becoming rusty or
rough. Rub them occasionally on
a piece of cedar when ironing to
keep the starch from sticking. The
odor is agreeable and it will not
discolor the most delicate fabric.
Incombustible Dresses.—By put-
ting an ounce of alum or sal am-
moniac in the last water in which
muslin% or cottons are rinsed, of
a similar quantity in the starch in
which they are stiffened, they will

that this simple precaution is so
rarely adopted.
