The leaves of the ire were for the treading of the nations, -•Bev, exit., 2, There are lives so small that they Twee think beyond themselves; with others the interest widens out to the !hulk of the itotue, the business, the city, the stole, and with the full-grown mut, to the whole universe. This is the measure of a life. It dies Itself and carries death to others when it lives only to llse11. The Interests and activi- ties beyond the individual, in cllizen- ship, In the 811185 of national and hw erten lite, make the whole and healthful life. The day forever has passed when we can think of the religious roan as the one who puts his fingers to itis ears and flees Irmo this world to some oilier and quieter one, as a dreamy enthusiast who knows nothing of the gutters of earth so occupied Is he with the glories of heaven. What we need is more reli- gion in our politics and less polities In our religion. We need more men who are deter- mined that the grace of Cod shall be applied to our social, industrial and national problems and that for our pious lamentations about the corruption and greed of wicked men we will sub- stitute labor and personal sacrifice for political honesty and civil righteous - Hess. • PIETY AND PA'rf1OT(SM are inseparable; 111 cennot be a good nen who is sol a good citizen. He who talks of politics as a dirty business and who hopes to enter the delights of the city above by neglecting the duties of citizenship here, never will know what (hose delights are. For will not the good Judge of all ask hint, "What have you done with your life, how much bet- ter Is your world for you?" and in his silence the voice shall say, Inasmuch ns ye did IL not for one of these, ye did it not for me.' [Mien are not patriotic because they enjoy processions end picnics, or be- cause they upplaud fire-eating speeches that revive buried animosities. They glory In the battles they never fought and the victories for which they did not pay. The most gallant veleteme met the mon who were drafted 11011 ,0Ii1Ited around a few limes In a box car before pence was declared, And now Instead f paying- the price of peace by wrestling with the problems and sacrificing for the socurlly of to -day, they are boasting of u past in whose glory they bad no part. The elan of religion needs to know that the best way he can serve heaven Is by the service of earth, and the man of patriotic spirit that he can best. serve his land by that sacrifice and devotion which we cell religion. Too long have we gone lamenting the open sores our national life, while yet currying all Ihe time the only halm that will hen tient, perhaps cherishing that healing medicine as loo sacred for such com- mon, secular service. TiIE HEALTH OF A NATION depends on that of the individuals. The best thing a mart can do for has coun- try is to be a clean, honest, true, and helpful private citizen. What he is in his heart is of more Importance than what he may say or do In a public way. The glory of a nation is not in posses- sions, but In people; not in crops, but in character, end that which canset aright the human heart will heal and vitalize the whole nation. The ideals of religion in the individual lie at the basis of the reality of righteousness in the nation. If men only will do for the affairs rt their city and slate now the things they expect to do for the city celestial, Willey will be now only what they hope to be then, the kingdom of heaven speedily will conte to the place and lime to which it belongs, here and now. The Meitner for our woes, rest for our weariness, soothing for our sorrows, and relief for our oppressed cannot conte by legislation. All this means new life and new life springs from within. Laws may make right paths, but the touch of the infinite, the dawn of divine love in the heart, and the power of heaven born ideals alone will give the impulse to weENRY ll in ale lli. E S. S.

Its rever- ence; 3. lis simpiiclly and modesty - milting only for the needs or the pre- sent day; 4, Its .brevity -omitting all V11111 repetitions; 5. its tone of 0on1- denre-altered in the spirit of expecta- tion : 6.

In the suggestion of giving a stone for a loaf it was the cruel deception of the parent which was emphasized; in. the suggestion of sub- slttuting a serpent for afish, it was rather the diabolical intention of giving something extremely harmful in Ihe place of something wholesome; and in the suggestion of giving a scorpion in place of an egg both the deception and the more wicked Intent of inflicting harm which are brought out.
