Exeter Advocate, 1910-06-23, Page 7t 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. t AIMS : the first time that these are HIS FEARLESSNESS. *** *********?esta,n. or it may be sprinkled different from the servants.

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.

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 His Majesty was once asked what Royal Commission on the subject, be would do if his family were de- and I had an opportunity then of posed. He replied: "No doubt if becoming acquainted with the evils 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 he was very young. One day she Apple Souffle.—Two pounds of inquired how he was progressing. "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. \1�I1.1?N HE WAS UNHAPPIEST.

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 the fire; and if they do, will burn without flame. It is astonishing that this simple precaution is so rarely adopted. APPETIZING DISHES.
