"Such things look fairer that he so

The Spectator.
IIolp Tlmt Conic * from Uod.
In the time of sore aflllctlon , when
the he-art cries out for relief from Ita
deep dlatreos , nothing save the help
that cornea from the everlasting goupel
can avail to sustain the spirit. Sym
pathy can do hiucli. A cheery faith
that all things wt rk together for good
to him who etiltlvates It can also do
much to assuage the grief of a friend.
But genuine sympathy is akin to that
spirit of interest which is fostered by
the gospel , and that faith which looks
steadily upward and forward , confident
that Goodness presides over all worlds ,
is the product of u prolonged and earn
est quoat for the truth which Jesus
came to Impart. To thu eager and per
sistent quefltioulnus of a soul tried by
deep sorrow Christ alone can give
plain and satisfying answers. The aid
that comefl through the man or woman
of faith hus Its source in the Savior's
teachings In the truths that He ut
tered respecting the Father.the endless
life , the heavenly home , and in the
same truths that had expression and
demonstration in his rising in spir
itual habiliments to the eternal world.
Through. Him the Father , the giver of
life , assures the seeking heart that
the departed loved ones live more
really than over before , and that the
brief separation will bo followed by
eiullefls association in a world more
glorious. UnlvcrBuUBt louder.
Duty of Baltic Olieerfnl.
Wo speak much of the duty of mak
ing others happy. "No day should
pass , " w Bay , "on which wo do not
put a little cheer Into some heart ,
make the path a little smoother for
sonioont/b tired feet , or help one faint
ing robin Into its nest again. " But wo
are not accustomed to think of the
duty of being happy ourselves. Yet
the one duty is taught in the Bible
us clearly as the other. Jesus said his
disciples should have tribulation in the
world , but he said in the sumo sen
tence : "Bo or good cheer. " That is
the problem which is set before us as
Christians. Wo are to live cheerful.
The fact is , however , that not all
Christians are cheerfully Christians at
all times. Some tire scarcely over
cheerful are habitually uncheorful.
Others are cheerful only at times ,
when the sun shines , and all things
go Well with them. The truth is , there
are in the ordinary life a thousand
pleasant things to one unpleasant. I :
Is a ahame , therefore , to lot the one
roughness or pain spoil us for all tli'o
gladness of a thousand good things ,
the one discordant note mar for us
all the music of the grand .yinphony.
Forward.
of
So many people are mooning away
their time as if they had a whole
eternity to upend , and they pay so
much attention to things that can help
the individual soul but little , If any
at all , and they neglect the weightier
matters of the law. Toll mo that my
ago will be ten thousand times tou
thousand yours , and 1 aay , My broth
ers , halt ! let us look into this weed ;
bow did it come to be what it Is ?
What other weeds are there round
about Us neighborhood ? What Is the
relation of these various aud apparent
ly competing needs ? and halt , lot us
gather a thousand llttlo shells from
the seashore , and number them , and
appraise them , and wonder about how
long they have boon In their evolution.
There might be some little grain of
sense in that , but when you toll mo
that the days of our years are three ,
score years and ton , I must reconsider
the whole calculation , and get to un
derstand if I can which Is the more
Important , which the moat important ,
what is the thing to be done now.
Joseph Parker , D. D.
Thing * to Forget.
If you would increase your happiness
* nd' prolong your life forget your
neighbor's faults. Forget the tempta
tions. Forgot the fault-flndlng , and
ctve a little thought to the cause which
provoked it. Forget the peculiarities
of your friends and only remember the
good points which make you fond of
them. Forget all personal quarrels or
histories you may have heard by acci
dent , and which , If repeated , would
com a thousand times worce than
they are. Blot out as far as possible
all the dlsngreunblOB of life ; they will j
como , but they will grow larger when
you rcmcinbur them , and the constant ,
thought of the acts of meanness , or , j
worse fltlll , malice , ' will only tend to
make von more familiar with them , i
Obliterate everything disagreeable
from yesterday , start out with a clean
sheet for today , and write upon it , for
sweet memory's sake.only those things
which are loveljr and lorablo.
