very happily named book. "Keystones
of Thought." In which Dr. Austin
O'Malley of Pennsylvania has gath
ered from fifteen hundred to two
thousand of these "conclusions which
spare you the labor of tramping In

which we now proceed to exhibit as
examples: but the average of epi
grammatic quality Is surprisingly
high:

Prayer for the Day.
Forgive us If this day we have done
or said anything to increase the pain
of the world. Pardon the unkind
word, the impatient gesture, the hard
and selfish deed, the failure to show
sympathy and kindly help where we
had the opportunity, but missed it;
and enable us so to live that we may
dally do something to lessen the tide
of human sorrow, and add to the sum
of human happiness. F. B. Meyer.

that." Cincinnati Enquirer.
