He Is below the aurface; he haa passed out of the stage of dreams and Illusions, hs has seen something, but not enough. There Is a further stag. Whan a man gets deep enough, he learns hop again; I mean the stage where he a see not merely what things look like, not success nor failure, but what lire Is meant for, to live for Ood and to live for men. Then, whether the sun shines or not whstber things ars dark or dreary, whether society is ad vancing or deteriorating, he Is still snab!ed to hops. He has to live tor Ood and men.

Well, we can see Just what w oan hop for neither more nor less. Let us see what we hope for. Wo hop for th day when love will be the universal law ot mankind. We hope for th day when men will make Ood their religion In stead of making religion their Ood. W hop, for a great Ideal; for the day when men will think that the service of man is ths deepest religious privilege. We hope that the day will pass away when any sus picion of degradation will be thought to attend upon any act of sorvloe. Wo hope for the day when the beat things will be made th common things. Ws hope for the day when men wilt seek not so much to give charity as to do Juetloe; when men will seek not for patronage, but for oppor tunity ot service. W hop to see men be lieving that Ood "not only created a vast religious ohangebut through It and by It to create a great soolal change; to make th employer to regard th worklngman as his brother,-or as his son; to mak men regard Injury to women as Injury to their own sisters; to make a man find himself not 'in soma mystical dream, but to find himself In the often unoonsdous wants of thoae around him. We hope and let no man say ws are optimists. Ws have grounds for our hope; wo are beginning to see the dawn of better things, which fifty yoars ago would have been lmpoeaible; we hav found that there are companies which sometimes think of wages as well as divi dends.
