Anion, say I, to the sotind ads lee

the two o three congregat ional

1 wotild, not have the Presbyterian
Church ,adof t, a ritual, I still in-

„go 1 read a wonderful book entitl-
ed "The Call of the Wild." The cen-
tral figure of that story was a meg:-
nincent dog, a cross between a St.
Bernard and a Great Dane. He was
stolen from his California home and
.sent far north into the Klondike re.
globs, where he was compelled to
drag the miners' sleds over the
Alaskan snows. Jack London, the
writer, with a master hand trews
hien from a great, big, loving house

dog thief .among dog thieves.. • Ile
traces his degeneracy down and
down until at last the bayings • Of
.t,lio, wolves call him into •the dark-.
nese of the. northern forests, ' and _
"the can of the wild" is answered
by "the response of the wild." •
Is riot SOCietY'g call too often "the
call of the wild?" In the _ 'social
world when you give a banquet do.
ryou not for the most -part ask only
those in your WW1 social set? ' Do
you obey the ' divine command,
"When thou inakest a dinner or a.
-supper call not thy friends nor thy
brethren, neither thy- kinsmen nor
t hy rich neighbors lest they also
bid thee .again and a recompense he
iinide thee. But when thou makest a.-
kotat call the poor, the maimed, the
lame, the blind, and thou shalt be
blessed, for they- cannot recompense
thee, but, thou shalt be recompensed
at the resurrectiono1the just," Is
not society'e call often "the call of
the wild" because it is a call to
selfishness, the call of only doinie
good -to them who do good to you?,
Is it ,not often the call merely of
wealth to associate with wealth and
social caste with social caste? Oh,
ye worshipers at the social shrineifi,
better heed to -day the Lenten call!
Better snuff out .the many liglrts of
-the ball -rooms and the banquet
'halls! Know ye not. that during the .
"spring fast" the lowly Nazarene' is
knocking at the door of your hearts
trying to get in? .
The Episcopalian Lent, in the next,
place, is a protest against business
absorption. It says to the met -chant,
the manufacturer and the profession-
al man:: "You have a right to work.
Indeed, you must work and . work
hard if you- are to support your
family and meet the financial necessi-
ties which are yours. But, oh, man,
you have no right to-lnake the ace
euisitioneof money the chief object
bf your life any more than you •have
a right to live t� * eat. `By the sweat.
• of thy face shalt thou eat bread.'
But that sweat should- not make
'thee ind°fferent to God or to the
higher- p irposes of life, for which
'thou wen created." ,
But the great danger of money •
making is that the acquSsition of
wealth rimy become -a, passion. The
calls of the money market- become -
so, great and urgerft that tan aver-
age business man does not feel that
he has .1, me to stop and think about
his rela'ions to God. But though
the busi ess world would demand all
ofl a m n's energies, the Lenten
season c Ines into a busy merchant's
lite and says, "Oh, man, you should
never be too busy .to take time to
tchti)rciiit.„ it your responsibilities • to .
Ole E nscopalian Lent, in the next

comes just, before title -days when the
h usevvires are turning the houses

n cesary to keep :physical dirt Out
b a honse, yet. in spite of all pre-
ei4utt,nt it will keep creeping in ev-
erywhere. Although the workmen in

11 e particles of gold will sift

After Jesus Christ drove the money
changers out of the temple, were the
• attempts to secularize the house of
: God into a place for mere education-
al and literary and Musical and me-
dal- and financial enjoyment forever
abandoned? Po not some of us, con-
sciously and unconsciously, fall into
the error of coming to church) nierely
on account.of the oratorical gifts of
the preacher? Did not thousands
upon thousands' of worshipers sit at
the feet of a Beecher, a, Cumming; a
Rowland Hill and a John Wesley,
not because . they were worshiping,
God, but rather because they were
worshiping a brilliant man?
We know that the finest living mu-

The Decimal Point.
In both France and Germany one-
fourth (i) reduced to a decimal is writ,
ten as .25; in England it is written
`25 (always With the period at the top
Of the line) and in the United States in
this way. .25. France and Germany
always use the comma, England anil
the United States the period, the only
difference being the manner in which it
Is placed upon the Sir Isaac New-
ton is given the credit of originating
the present English method of using
the decimal point, his reasons being
that by placing it at the top of the line
it could be distinguished at a glance
from the "full stop" punctuation mark.
All English mathematicians use the
mark in tbe way proposed by Newton
and the period as a sign of multiplie.a-
tion.
The Glove Is am Old an History.
It might be readily supposed that the
glove was an' article of modern luxury.
On the contrary, these hand coverings
date back almost as fax as history it-
self. Homer mentions they in his writ -
Inge, and Xenophon also, stating that
the great Cyrus once forgot his gloves
on an important occasion. From the
earliest times the manufacture of
gloves has been an important trade in
France, and in 790 Charlemagne grant-
ed an unlimited right to the abbot and
monks of Sithin to make gloves from
the skins of deer they killed. The word
glove being of Anglo-Saxon origin, it is
conjectured by some that the Saxons
'introduced the trade of glove making
in to England.
Leisure at Meals.
Take at least one meal a day leisure.
ly; take all three leisurely if you can;
take one meal a day leisurely at any
cost. The other two meals eat lightly.
Let the hearty meal be the leisure
meal. The best time for this for most
men is after the day's work is over.
Do not hurry in getting to the table.
Take time In getting ready for it. Hav-
ing come to the meal In au unhurried
ante of mind, you vrill enjoy it better
because it will taste and digest better.
A Familiar Subject.
Wife (after returning from church)—
Yon should have been in third] this
morning. We had a beautiful sermon.
Husband—I'll bet you can't repeat
the text,
Wife—Yes, X can. It was the tenth ,
verse of the sixteenth chapter of Eze-
kiel, "1 girded thee about with fin.
linen, and I covered thee with silk."
Husband—Huh! It is no wonder you
remember it.
Riches.
That country Is the- richest which
nourishes the greatest number of noble
and happy beings; that mart Is the rich-
; est who, having perfected the functions
-of his own life to the utmost, has also
. the widest helpful intluence, both per-
form' and by means of his possessions,
ever the lives of others.—John Ruskin.
Seldohneso.
Selfishness in sotne form is at the
foundation of most of our unhappiness
and misery. If we could analyze all
the suffering in the world suld trace it
back to Its first cause we should prob-
ably find that selfishness was the great-
est factor in creating it.
