THE QUIET HOUR
S. S. Topic.
"He must increase, but I must de
crease.'’ Any man may appear to
advantages under favorable condi
tions. The real grandeur of John
The Baptist's character appears, when,
he deliberately chose to withdraw
himself from the public in order
that the glory of Christ might be en
hanced. John was true to his call
ing. He boldly proclaimed his mes
sage, but once realizing that his
mission was fulfilled, he was willing
to see all his honors slip from him,
in order that they might fall upon
Him, who was the greater of the
two, for whose coming he had pre
pared the way.
There is not another incident in
history that suggests a grander and
more sublime picture than the ad
v * ut of John preaching in the wilder
ness. And yet his demise is infin
itely more grand and glorius. The
ugly scene in Herod's banqueting hall
with its drunkenness, its lewd danc
ing. the rash promise and rasher
execution are all a dark and forbid
ding background, divinely ordered,
t show forth the marvelous beauty
and wonderful simplicity of John’s
character to best advantage, by con
trast. "Of men horn of woman, there
hath not arisen a greater than !John
Th< Baptist.”
Johns life was short, his mission
n limited one, and his end abrupt.
Nevertheless, his was a supremely
successful life. He accomplished the
thing he was sent to do. That ■ is
the most that can he required of any
of us; lo fill our own little place
and fill it well, whether we enjoy it
or not, whether it brings us honors
or disgrace and even death The
greatest of virtues is humility. And
the truly great soul is self-effacing
and bumblcf. The vice of a'l vices is
pride. True greatness, the greatness
that endures is incompatible with ar
rogance and ambition. It is not the
office that makes tin1 man, but the
man who honors the office. John
alone and unaided struck sturdy
blows for what is right and clean
and good and history is not. willing to
forget liis service to mankind. Live
earnestly and bravely the life allot
ted you and time will not deal un
kindly with you, and dare to die,
that that which is better may pre
vail.
The Deacon's Philosophy.
1 remember when a boy
How ,L used to just enjoy
R ding with old Deacon Hill
When he wed lo drive to mill.
Skittish nag the deacon druv,
For he had a kind of love
For a good, free-actin’ colt;
And he’d keep an easy holt
On the reins and when she’d shy
He’d just drawl, so kind of dry,
“There, there, colt! Now, now no
t earin'!
No use cu'itin' up and rarin'.
Just kebp right down in the road.
No use fretting at the load.
Steady pull’s not half so wearin.”
There, there, colt! Now, now, no
tearin’!"
Years ago that boyhood day;
Colt and deacon passed away.
1 ain't young's I used to be.
By a good deal, no, siree!
Coltish then, I must allow,
WYU broke into harness now,
’Cept when things go wrong, then I
Want to rip and tear and shy.
Then inside me, kind of still,
Seem to hear old Deacon Hill:
"There, there, boy! Now, now, no
tearin!
No use cuttin' up and rarin.’
Just keep cool and peg away.
Do the best you can each day;
Just keep patient and forbearin’.
There, there boy! Now, now no
tearin’!’’—Youths Companion.
Womanly Modesty.
Men detest women who angle for
them. They like both girls and wo
men to have reserve; they like to
do the wooing themselves; they want
to search out and win the girls and
women they want for either compan
ions, sweethearts or wives.
Never allow any familiarity of
your person. Ob, do remember that
for every act you do which is not
pure and good, for every undue in
timacy you allow you will suffer all
your life long. Keep the sweet pur
ity of your body, your lipe, your
hands, all of it for the man you love
and marry.
Try to think what a priceless gift
you place in his hands when you
can give yourself unsullied, untouch
ed and pure.
Think what it will mean to cheapen
that gift for him and what you
must suffer when that day comes if
you must keep some miserable secret
from him, or in telling, dread the
pain and shock and surprise in his
eyes when he finds you are not thlie
pure, beautiful girl he has thought
you.
Think what that will mean to him.
He will say, "If she isn't pure and
good then I don't believe there are
any pure good women,” and he will
judge all others by you. Perhaps he
may even doubt his own sister be
cause of you. Think if .lack should
ever doubt your goodness and purity
because of some other girl.
Remember you are always respon
sible for man's judgment of woman.
Remember that you are man's pro
tector. That will be a new thought
to you for you have always thought
of man as woman’s protector and so
far as physical strength and shield
ing her from harm and trouble, go
he is. Men should protect women
from all the rough edges of the
world, from all hard work and hard
snips that be can, but women must al
so protect man from himself; from
the emotions and feelings which rise
in him and threaten to swamp his
will and judgment.
Man’s nature differs from woman’s.
He loves with strength and passion,
and his passion is more easily arous
ed. Girls who themselves are good
at heart and virtuous in ait will
sometimes deliberately play upon a
man’s feelings and then claim to
have been “insulted,” to be very in
dignant and angry when lie attempts
greater familiarity than he would
ever have dreamed of attempting if
the girl herself had not invited it.
And if the man goes from her to
some Impure woman and besmirches
his body and soul because this girl
aroused the feelings thaht he could
not and did not control, is she any
better than he—or the other woman?
The girl who allows a man to kiss
and caress and fondle her, to hold
her in his arms, is just, as guilty of
his downfall as he. She may say she
“didn’t mean anything” and that
she "never thought of such a thing”
and all that, but there is no excuse.
She should have thought and she
did mean something. She is respon
sible.
These are the things that make
men lose their respect for girls and
women.—Ex.
