from the broader viewpoint as to the

obvious. If all c: the fertilizer Is con-

Success in Life
I believe success is life is within
the reach of all who set before them
ran aim, and an .ambition.: that is not
ibeyond the talents and ability which
God has bestowed upon them. We
should an begin ylIte With a "deter-
initiation to do well whatever we
take in hand, and if that determina-
tion is adhered to with the pluck for
whtch Englishmen are reuowed,
success, according to the nature and
quality of our 'brain Powe,•, is, I
think, a certainty. The first step ou
the ladder that -reads to success Is
the firm determination to succeed;
4
the nest is the possession of that
moral and physical courage which
will enable one to mount tap, rung
after rung,until the top is reached.
—Lord Wolisey.
Danger of Ciiriosity-
There is boundless danger in all in-
quiry which is merely curious Where
a man brings a clear and practised
intellect to try questions, by the
answer to which he does not ]Wean to
rule his conduct, let hint not marvel
if he feels, as lite goes on, a sense
of desolation, existence a burden, and
all uncertain. It is tate law of itis
human nature which binds him; for
truth is for the heart rather than the
intellect.—Dr, Newman.
A GREAT THOUGHT
A solitary thought of a great tl-ink-
er will dwell in the minds of men for
centuries, until at length it works
itself into their daily life and prac-
title, It lives on through"tile ages,
speaking as a voice from the dead,
and influencing
minds

ands and honorably won,—Smiles.
RESPECT
Respect is better procured by ex-
acting than soliciting for it --Greville.
"Anel you really behove that Helenas
marriage was au aitair of the heart?"
"Of course 1 do. She was led to be-
lieve that the rick old duffer site mar-
ried had a weak heart."
A GOOD LEGACY.
Two or three things I commend to
yolk -1 eep yourself in the, full air of
the world and play your part in the
world's affairs.
Always study rather than be pas-
sive.
Do not be eo unreasonable as to
expect more from life in the world
thou lite in the world is capable of
giving. --John Stuart Mill's Legacy to
Mr. JoIln Morley, handed on to Edin-
burgh University,
A PRIZE.
The high prize of life, the crowning
fortune of a man, is to be born to
some pursuit which funds him in em-
ployment and happiness --whether it
be to make baskets or broadswords,
or canals, or statues, or songs.

L THE.'ROYAL LAW, Luke 6: 27-34.
INTRODUCTION—Paul often contrasts-
Judaisnt and Christianity in this way;
Judaism, he says, is a. religion of law,
Christianity of freedom, He regarded
Jesus Christ as the great Liberator,
in contrast with. Moses, the law -giver,
Yet here, and in other passages, we
we have What is called "the royallaw
of Christ. There is no real.contradiva
tion. The scribes and Pharisees sought
to lay down a rule for every occasion
of human life; their code was elabor-
ate, fussy, impossible for Many people
to obey. Jesus, on the other hand, laid.
down great principles, sometimes , in
the form of general rules (such as
"love you: enemies"). sometimes in the
form of partictalar illustrations (such
as, "i£ your enemy smite you on the
tate cheek. tura to him the other
also"). Whereas, then, the scribes
and• Pharisees sought to give men a
map, indicating every detail of the
way, Jesus gave men a compass, and
bade them guide their steps by this
compass and the stars.
We are not to apply these com-
mands 'of Jesus, therefore, clumsily,
and by rule of thumb; it is the spirit,
not the letter, which is binding. Per
instance, under modern social condi-
tions is may not be Christian to give -
.,til. very ber;'e
w.ttyout asking any questions. On the:
other hand, we must be careful not to
water down the commands of Jesus
till they become easy and insipid. In
studying his teaching, our task is
threefold; first, we west try to under-
stand what his words meant to his
hearers, then what principle underlie;
.then, and third, what is their applica-
tion to our, own'conditions and duties.
II. GOD'S EXAMPLE, Luke 6: 35, 36.
The fundamental principle underly-
iny the teaching seems to be expressed
in verse 35. It comes to this: we are
to treat others as God has treated us.
Jesus' thoughts of God and of duty
are intimately associated, God is the
Father who sends his sun and rant to
bless the just and the unjust; he is as
good to the thankless as to the thank-
ful: he treats Itis children., then, not
according to their need. We, there-
fore, are to treat our neighbors, mot
according to their deserts, but their •motkt ' it t' happily there.

flair and face are assumhtg a new
character in tbe. present-day style;
theirs is the leading role in the
drama of fashion,- since hats that re•
treat to the hack of the head leave
them ruthlessly exposed to the spat -
light, Tite mode forbids brims to
cast a gracious shadow across the
brow, or to slimly veil the eyes. The
task of softening the face is left to
the hair.
To meet the style in toques, berets
and ;cloches, the hair should be part-
ed iu the middle or on the side and
brought down to the ears in. close
waves that curtain the forehead. The
meaner is suggestive of that used by
our grenctnlothers, only it has tweu-
tieth-century verve and seductive-
ness rather than olid -Victorian digni-
ty and sedateness.
Gone are the vivid make -ups of
yesterday. They have given' way to
a subtler form of - ntagnillage. That
gentle art lays a lighter touch ou
the face—because it is without pro-
tection from the ttincomprouiisiug
daylight—and works with, rather than
against, the gifts of native. The
well-groomed 'woman'. burs powders
that blend with her skin, and uses
rouge •and lipstick to accentuate, not
exaggerate, the red of her cheeks
and lips.
And—so "cosmetici'ans" tell us --in-
creasing atention is being paid to en-
hancement of the eyes. There are
a dozen or more shades of eye pen-
cils that place tenuons shadows over
the lids. They must be used with
taste and discretion to bar detection,
and must be suited to the color of
the eyes as carefully as powder is
to the complexion. It is even said
that the eye shadow can be ]Wade
to harmonize with the shade of the
hat, as if the later cast the most
delicate of reflections over the lid.
No Wonder!
It was the strong man's turn. He

Dog furrows for Bone,
Uncovers Whale Fossils
San Diego, Calif.—The attempts of
a small dog to dig up a bone on the
ocean sands have led natural scieuists
of the O'Rourke Zoological Institute
here to uncover the fossilized remains
of a whale they say they believe swam
in the Pacific 500,000 years ago.
The scientists established a camp on
the ocean front at Pacific Beach and
completed excavation work begun
when the dog exposed part of the
skeleton.
