The boolt slipped to the floor and
Honorla Keller sat tack in ber chair
with a genlle yawn.
"That woman was a herp.i'isho sakl
aloud. "The kind I'd like' to be. I
never wanted to be anything rnilte as
much as to be a hero. Dear, dear,
that's what I used to lie under the
trees and dream about, while other
girls dreamed about lovers. To do
something splendid and bravo think
of that! Helgho!"
She crossed the room and surveyed
her small, trim figure In the mirror,
with a rueer deflarco in her face.
"Oh, It's you ajaln, in It? she cried.
"It's nlways you, always! Never
somebody tall and firrc a-nl hero-lsh.
You'd make a pretty hero, wouldn't
you? Did you think heroes were cut
out Ave feet tall In their shoe3? And
had round bar;' faces and dimples?
Dimples!"
She turned awny and paced restless
ly up and the bright little room. The
gentle purring of the sleeping children
stole out to her faintly through tho
half-open door. Once, when she 'failed
to hear It, she stopped In her walk to
listen anxiously. Heavy feet tramped
by, now and then, In the corridors, but
the step she was waiting for did not
come.
"Hp's late again," slio said aloud, in
the fashion of lonely women. "He
was late yesterday and day before, and
day before that worM wlthovt end."
A sudden bitterness distorted her
her sweet face. Hono! What kind
of a parody on the word was this pair
of little rooms In a great noisy hotel?
Was there the slightest resemblance
to a home about them? They were
bright with gaslight tonight, and pretty
with. the bits of. womanly touches her
wistful fingers bad given them against
heavy odds. And how the children had
helpeiU Jed's horse, over there In the
corner, Nell'Ssorry doll on the couch,
the Tiny One' rubber dojs and cats
everywhere, bless them, how they
helped !
Honoria Keller tad been married
eight years and she had never had a
home. From one hotel or boarding
house to another they had drifted rest
lessly. The children had been born
In hotels that was Honorla's greatest
grief. It Beemed like doing the chil
dren a great wrong. When Harry
laughed at her the hurt deepened and
widened, It was all Harry's" doings,
anyway. When they had money
enough, he said, In his easy way, they
would have a home. Time enough.
Suddenly the woman pacln; the
bright little room uttered a sharp
sound of pain. The old wound would
not bear opening. She hurried to her
usual refuge, tho children in their
beds. Their little flushed, peaceful
faces always calmed her. "You don'l
lay It up, do you?" the mother sobbed
softly. "You know mother wanted to
give you a home to be born In, Jed.
Nell, Tiny One! You don't lay It up?"
For a little while she sat beside
them. In the darkened room, touching
their little cheeks in turn, with the
soft mother kisses that never waken
Then, comforted, she wont back again
to the light. Hut the evening wore
on, dragged on. without the sound of
familiar steps outside the door. Some
where a clock chimed 10, then 11, then
12. "It was 12 last night," she said,
and waited. Then 1 o'clock rang oul
In one clear note. "It was 1 the day
before yesterday," Honorla said.
They had parted In bitter anger in
the morning, but that was too familiar
a thing to count. Lately tho partings
(had all been angry or cooly Indifferent.
When had they kissed each other
goodby In the morning? Honorla
caught her breath In sharp distress.
"At home we would It would bo dif
ferent If we bad a home!" she cried
out a little wildly, "How can we love
each other In this way, without a
home?" .
The great house settled Into quiet.
Somewhere a great way pit, doors shut
with a 'Anal clang, and loud keys
creaked in their locks. "He will not
come- tonight," Honorla said. . But she
waited until morning. She had waited
that way before, and i Jie morning
Harry had come. This time It was
different. In the morning a messen
ger boy brought her a note from him.
"Have gone away. You will not be
sorry. It has been In the wind some
time. I should liked to have kissed
the children goodby. Harry."
How long It was she sat there with
the brief little note In her hands, be

never knew. The weight on nor heart
did cot lift or ease. It seemed to
crush and choke her. The quecv,
metallic voire that answered the chil
dren's wondering questions was not
her voice. She did not wonder It terri
6ed the Tiny One. "You isn't like
mamma I 'wants papa!" he wailed.
"He has gone away you will not
be aorry," repeated Honoria stlltodly.
"It has been in the wind some time.
He was sorry not' to, kiss the chll "
She canght her breath as the row of
scared" little torn Imprinted itself on
her staring reynaa. -; A sudden wave
of keen, pitiless consciousness swept
over ber like a flood. It was all so
plain now! The kindly mist had lifted

"What! No (tain! No kindlier spirit!
Ah, a larger love 1 here.
That day somehow lived itself bill;
and then the next Somehow, for the
children, Honoria lived. The throb'
and smart of her hurt weru ail she
realized at first. Small things made
no Impression on her mind. Years
afterward she wondered whether on
those first days the sun had shone, or
it had rained. It was a chance re
mark she overheard that aroused her
from ber lethargy. Some one outside
in the corridor made the remark to
some on elcs. "The woman In that
room there No. 21 's been ' de
serted," the strance voice said In
wvha. was mean., for an under
tone. "Yes, sir, deserted! Sounds
liko a novel, don't It? An the chil
dren's there too, all right. Just lit out
an' left 'en as I'm a sinner."
"As he's a sinner!" growled the
other voice indignantly. "It's brutes
do thlnyo like that They ain't men."
There was sympathy In both rough
voices, but Honorla did not heed. The
words, not the tones, tyirnt Into her
brain. Was that It? Was Harry a
brute? Dear Lord In Heaven, was she
deserted?
"No! Harry would not do that!"
she cried In anguish. "He went away
we were angry with each other. He
thought I woeM not be sorry. Not
sorry!" She sprang to the floor and
paced to and fro, till the frightened
children crept away by themselves.
But the days that went by grew Into
weeks, and he did not come. And at
last the kind-hearted hotel proprietor
was driven to take the step he had
been dreading. He went up to Num
ber 21 one evening and knocked
Sently.
"Come in," a weary voice said.
"Ah good evening, Mrs. Keller,
sood evening," he said nervously. "I
that Is, I've er called on a terribly
embarrassing errand. I've put It off
and put It off. hoping he that Is. Mr.
Keller would show up again. I want
'ou to be'leve it was an awful Jolt
for me to corf e up here tonight and
;ay It. bnt. Mr. Keller, that Is"
Me cau?Ht o';t his handkerchief and
mopped bis faco. "There's a bill
against your husband for three
months' board," he blurted out des
perately. Honorla sat looking at him steadily,
letting this new disgrace Alter Into
her brain. She did not flinch before
it,
"You mean." she said quietly, after
i minute or two. "that Har that my
iusband owes you a good deal' of
:nonev for our board, bis and mine
and the children?"
"Yes, that Is er a modicum, a
modicum."
"And that we must go away at
once? Of coii'se I see that. But
but" for the first time her sweet
voice broke, "but I have no money to
pay the bill. Walt! please don't say
a word. Please go away and let me
think. I must think. You will give
me time to think?"
But how to think? Honorla wrestled
all night with her problem. One thing
was definitely clear. She must pay
the bill before she went away. A way,
a way, oh, to find a way! What
was to come afterward did not matter
yet. This mountain must be climbed
Irat.
The next morning she noticed a
signed posted below, over the laun
dry windows. "Wanted: a first-class
woman to do fine Ironing. Fancy pay
for fancy work. Apply within."
"Grandmother used to tell me I
Ironed her caps beautifully," Honorla
said, a sudden resolve In her mind.
"But perhaps now I'm not a first
class woman," she added with a pitiful
little smile. But she applied for the
work and got It. She and the children
took a cheaper room in ono of the at
tics and she went resolutely to work
to earn the money to pay the bill. That
the work was terribly taxing to her
slender strength did not deter her.
Her courage supplemented her
strength. And little by little she saved
the money. Afterward she wondered;
now, she ouly worked. Tho night the
sum sho was saving had grown to the
needful dimensions, ber poor sore
heart wa almost light On Jie way
up to her attic she overheard some
one calling her a hero. It sent her
straight to her blurry little mirror.
"You don't look it!" she said to the
worn, shabby little figure before her,
but she smiled a little and nodded to
It, frlendly-wlse. "You were always
wanting to be one, and I suppose this
was the best you could da"
That was the nlsht Harry came
back. He was terribly thin and wan.
"Dear," he said, after the long ex
planation was over, how could you
think I would desert you like that?"
"I dldnt," she answered simply.
"And I didn't!" he said; as It lie had
not said It already a dosen times.,
"Thero was no tlre to write a longer
nolo that night, when the Head made
up his mind at last to send me about
his business In such a hurry. And

"And' when I came out of It," he
persisted. "I couldn't remember. I
only remembered today Honoria."
"Only tufay, dear." she cried Joy
fully. "But Harry, today Is now! Ant)

BROUGHT LIFE BACrS.
Man Dead from Electric 8hock Had
" Hie Circulation Restored.
Is it possible to restore life to a
person killed by an electric shock?
Dr. George W. Crile, of Western Re
serve Medical college, Cleveland, O.,
bellevos that it Is. He experimented
ft ytat igd with the purpose of demon
strating tha valita of adrenalin as a
life restorer. His subjects wore dogs.
He Succeeded ill restoring to life ad
animal that hl& been - dead froni
strangulation tot 15 minutes. The re
suits til his experiments! wail thed

paper In whieh h6 told how artificial
respiration had been Induced by press"
lire upon thti thorax of the animal, the;
injection cf a solution' of salt watet
and adrenalin ihto the veins doing the"
rest
Dr. Crile has now tried the same
experiment upon a human subject; the'
body being taken two hours aftor
death. The attempt , to restore llfo
was not wholly successful, but circu
lation was produced In the body three
hours after death, end an hour later
there was a response from the
heart, leading tho Surgeons to believe
tbat If they had got tbe subject lri time'
they would have succeeded.
Thomas Kelly, a lineman, who bad
been stricken at the top of a telephone
pole by coming in contact with , an
electric lisht wire, was the, subject.
The accident happened about 11 In
tho forenoon. The body was taken as
soon ss nosslblo to the Western Re
serve college, where Dr. Crile was
ready to begin with the experiment.
He was assisted by Dr. William R.
Lower, who has worked with him for
some time. Preparations had been
made In tbe college laboratory. The
body was placed upon a table and
surrounded with hot water bottles.
One surgeon seized the right arm of
the deceased and sought to induce ar
tificial respiration. He soon an
nounced that the hmss were working,
air being taken in and expelled regu
larly. Another surgeon began manipu
lating the breast In tho effort to assist
the artificial respiration, and another
opened the vein under the left arm
preparatory to Injecting a solution of
salt and adrenalin. The mouth was
then opened, JUie. tongue drawn for
ward with forceps and oxygen admin
istered to the lungs. The physicians
worked desperately. One of them held
the pulse. After four hours Dr. tawer
announced that they had produced cir
culation, but that the heart refused to
respond.
With great rapidity and skill, a cav
ity was opened, and while other Bur
geons continued the Injections of adre
nalin and the administration of oxy
gen, Dr. Lower kneaded the heart
with his hands. It was a forlorn hope,
but the surgeons did not despair. A
faint response on the part of the heart
was noticed two or three tlms, but
when tbe manipulation stopped the
response ceased. Philadelphia North

CNCLE SAM$00LD FUND
ENOUGH OF THE METAL TO GIVE
EVERY AMERICAN TWELVE
DOLLARS.
Treasury Reserve 6S0,0O,00Cl What
One Man Could 00 If He Pessesssd
the Entire Accumulation The Qi
gantio Dimensions of Ha Bulk.
At present the United States has
more gold than any other country, in
the world. ' In the treasury there Is a
gold reserve of $G50,000,0ou, to 'say
nothing ot 1322,000,000 more in the
national banks, says the Salt Lake
Herald. - .
And to awell the total we are, not
withstanding the vast store of gold in
this country, beginning anew the- im
bortatisn or the precious metal from
Europe, $2,t0o,ooo having recently
beeii Contracted fof,
tJncle Sam's children have over 12
in gold aplocd, which, however, is less
than th cltliens ot the Frertoh repub
lic pdssess. Fof each one of them
there Is A little more than $21 df gold
coin. Germany comed third in the per
capiti computation, the figures' being
12.8l. Great Britain has $12.34 of
gold pgr capita, and Russia, tJ her
enormous pdillaton of 128,000,000, enly
5.6t;
The per capita figure for the entire
British empire is a shade Under $3.20,
that of India's enormdtls horde of
297,000,000 sotils being only 15 cents:
Here, as In other tiililgs, the' British
empire exhibits the most astonishing
extremes, for there are parts thereof
where the per capita of coined gold Is
in great excess; in Australia, for In
stance, there is $24.26 in coin as mon
ey for every man, woman and child.
At oi;e time the South African Repub
lic led this, with per capita figures of
$26.34, but now Australia Is the high
est. Canada's per capita is a few
cents in excess of $3.
If one man should own the enor
mous hoard of gold In Undo Sam's
treasury what a lot of good he could
do!
Ho could pay up the debt of the Ar
gentine Republic, and European bond
holders would put up a monument to
him. It would be rather a. costly
monument, because It wou'd take
all bis gold to win it. He could take
the burden of debt off the shoulders
of Canada. That would make him a
promoter, for then he might be willing
that she should get under the wings
of the screaming eagle.
This newly rich man might not
think of any of these things at ail.
Here are a few more suggestions made
In an entirely friendly spirit. If ho
couldn't pay Uncle Sam's debt It would
naturally be supposed that he could
help his uncle out In the matter of
pensions. But, bless his soul, he
couldn't do much In that line. Ha
would be unable to touch the bill at
all, and could only pay the pensions
for a couple of years, while his Uncle
was getting his breath and preparing
to start in on those of the Spanish
war. ir he really wanted to belt) his
uncle, he could run the post office de
partment for two or three years, pay
ing all the bills, and then he'd have
either to start out and gather in a new
fortune or go to the Home for Indigent
Millionaires.
If bis brain boiled for bigger plans
he could keep up the armies of the
czar and William the kaiser for a
year, and allow these two fighters to
promote their schemes for universal
peace,
If his travels in collecting gold gave
him the collecting man la, he could
make a string of skyscrapers here In
New York, buying up every building
more than ten Stories high and the
land on which It stands. There are
limitations even to tho millionaire, but
this he could do. And, -if he didn't
like their style, he could wipe them all
out and and build twice as many more
somewhere else on the island and in
tome other way.
The American nation has money to
burn. Tho trouble would be to find a
place to burn It. If you were to take,
this enormous slim of money In one
dollar bills and fasten them end to
end they would make a string 81,200
miles long, which you could easily wind
around the equator three times, and
even leave 10,000 miles or so hanging
out In airy space. To make a bon
fire of these bills would probably re
quire one of our biggest parks.
The Immensity of this sum, the gi
gantic dimensions, of its bulk in gold,
or, what Is more startling, in silver,
and Its valae and purchasing power
In this world, are bewildering to con
template. Distributed among the pop
ulation of the land it would give every
man, woman and child $12. Distrib
uted among the population of this city
each man, woman and child would re
ceive $350. If you will consult your
almanac you will find that thre are
In this country over 70,000 paupers.
If this gold were divided among them
each would receive over $13,000 a
small fortune.
This amount of money would buy
the whole UritlBh nary, if that navy
were for sale, and leave enough sur
plus to' carry on a pretty lively war,
Or If you. did not care to Invest the
whole sum In one . enterprise, you
might for less than half of it, or $325,
000,000, buy or duplicate all of the fol
lowing Interesting things:
A fleet of 65 first-class battleships.
The St Loula World's fair." '
The Brooklyn bridge.' .
Halt dosen buildings like the cap
ital at Washington, the House of Par
liament,' Westminster Abbey, Notre
Dame ca ftedral In Paris, and a hand
ful of castles on the Rhine. -
If all this gold were rolled into one
ball it would make a' sphere which
would weigh In the neighborhood of
2,400,000 pounds. If you were to di
vide it into six balls of $100,000,000
each and place them upon heavy wag
ons, It would require a long train of
elephants to drag them. ' .
Really, this is a marvellous sum of
money when you come to measure it
If it were given to you In $5 gold
pieces, and you wero able -to stack
them one upon the other as a gambler
piles his chips, yon would have a
golden rod 460,000 feet highmore
than eighty-six miles, or fifteen times
as high at Mount Everest, Asia's loft
iest peak.
If you would rather have the pile
thicker you might take the sold la
tfublc block! one foot in thickness,
each one of which would be worth
$400,000. If you were to pile these
blocks one. upon another your $600,
000,000 would make a column 1500 foet
high.
A cubic' foot , of silver Is worth
$12,000 111 these days. A moment's
figuring Will show yuil how high your
column Would be It you could e
change all this gold for silver, if ali
the gold In the world were to be rolled
Into ono sphere it would make a globe
25.3 feet In diameter. Our $600,000,000
would be one-seVenth of this quantity,
GLOVE3 FROM RAT SklNS.
Only One Pair Mad? and It Was Very
Small.
A roport comes from Copenhnren
that a great rat hunt has been or
ganltod tiicre, and that tho skins ct
many thousands of the victims are to
be used in making gloves, if the rat
hunters in the Danish capital cherish
any such hopes they are doomed to
disappointment.
IUt skins cannot be made Into
gloves fit for commerce. Thd belief
that a valitnlilo raw material is being
neglected here survives cHly in the
minds of the inexpeit. The glove milk
er knows mttch better. A Norwegian
mcrchnnt tiiice came to England and
Informed a well known glove maker
that he had collected over lutl.OOO rat
skins and was prepjared to receive
biters fof them;. He wns fully convinc
ed that the skins were suitable for
glove hiakl'iR. Bilt the Manufacturer
found that the largest skin wnS only
some six inches long, and he held up
a kid skin for the fmallest. sizo of
glove, a child's, which was eight inch
es long, and asked how he was to cut
such a glove out of a rat skin.
Then be took up the smallest skin
lor a lady's glove, eleven inches long,
and when ho asked how that was to
be cut out of a rat skin the Norwegian
merchant laughed al tho idea and
went away disappointed. The best of
fer he got for those Bkins, which ho
had collected with so much care, was
Ave shillings a hundred weight from
a man who wns willing to boll them
down for glue.
A famous glove making firm has a
colled ion of curiosities relating to
the trado, and ono of them is the
largest pair of gloves ever mnde cut
ot a rat skin. The belief that such
skins could be made Into gloves was
laid before tho managers so confident
ly that tlicj resolved to put It to the
trial and they ordered a number of
the skins of the largest rata which
could.be found In Urlmsby. But the
rat IS a fighting animal and benrs
tho marks of many battles on his
body, and II was found that the Skins
were so scarred and torn that It was
witn the utmost difficulty that perfect
pieces large enough for the purposo
could be obtained. In the end, aftor
ten skins had been used, a pair ot
gloves was cut and made, and they
are retained In tho collection to this
day. But they are so small that they
would only fit tho smallest of small
boys. Thus It was show that, how
ever cheaply rat skins might bo ob
tained, they would offer no advantage
to the ghivemaker, Tho rabbit skin
Is equally useless for this purpose,
and humane people also may dismiss
from their minds the fear tbat the
skins of pot dogs are made Into
gloves. The dogskin glove of which
we used to near is made of nothing
else but the skin of tbe Cape goat
Pall Mall Gazette.
Mustaches and Crimes,
Frank Richardson, writing in the
Cornhlll Magazine, insists on tho dis
honesty of hiding tho telltale upper
Hp. "Of all the great criminals of
our day," he says, "I can recall none
who dared to practise with a naked
face. Drs. Lamson and Neilt Cream
Judiciously concealed no much of their
physlogonomy as might be. Fowler,
who murdered by night at Muswell
Hill, and Jabei Balfour were bearded
men. Walttrlght wore the 'mustachlos'
ot his period. James Canham Read
and Deeming, and Bennett of the
'bootlace murder' were possessed of
mouths tbat prudence compelled them
to conceal.
"The blue burglarious jowl Is a
fantasy of the novelist. No burglar
goes about with a face that in itself
amounts to a previous conviction.
When he is In jail matters are dif
ferent, for our prison authorities

"Why are women paid less than
men?'"
This question was asked of John J.
Johnson, for many years a buyer for
Marshall Field, the great Chicago mil
lionaire retail merchant. Mi. John
son is at the Wlll'ard hotel.
"That is easy to answer. They are
paid less because their work la in
ferior to men's. Women as a class
are not competent workers even in
those things In which they have al
ways been occupied such as cooking
and sewing. -
"But the clamor , of women advo
cates Is always for equal, wages be
tween the sexes. This is a cry which
is not based on reason. Men can do
more end better work than women.
Tbat Is the reason they are paid more.

BnoflKt!, Y. Bishop E. O. An
drews, Of the Methodist. Kpiacopal Church.
Iireached Sunday morning in the Central
.'ongrcgntional Church. His subject wnst
"Christianity and Love." The test d(
from I Timothy i:5: "Now the rnd of the
commandment is charity out of a mirr
heart, and of t goad conscience, sad of
faith unfeigned." Bishop Andrews said:
Kvery careful reader of fti Kugli.ill
Bible takes knowledge of the fact timi tli
Knglish language, like every other living
language, is in process of change, lie
knows the significance of words, as well
its their form, and occasionally their order
changes, He reads, for instance, in the
l'silms; "My heart is fixed, oil ttod, my
heart is lixed," and he remember that
that word "fixed" at the time our version
was made had the meaning, which we ttill
retain in our colloquial speech, "to be
fixed up," and so he reads: "My heart is
prepared, oh God. my heart is prepared."
lie rends in tho Kpistlt to the i'hi'isulon
ians that tlu v which are alive at t lie sec
ond coming ot Christ eli ill not prevent
them ihst are asleep, and lie remembers
that the tvord ''prevent"" originally meant
to precede simpiy, and came to Lave its
)ireent hiesnliig became he that precedes
another is likely to get in the way of that
one and obstruct mother who follows, and
so he reads that at the Second coming of
Christ tiler that are alive shall not precede,
or sbsll not have the advantage over theni
that sleep in Christ, for both alike shall b
called to meet their Lord in the air.
So in this text we have the word "char
ity," a word which to-day signifies either
almsgiving or kindly judgment of others,
but irt the time of our version it had the
meaning to which the hew revisers have
irturnM, vil.j "love, er "benevolence,"
and in this passngo We read this statehientf
The aim of the Cwm'Tna'ndiueiit is benevo'
lence, good will, elfeetive love, even as wd
speak of the love of man to tiod, then alsd
to his fellow men.
Another llible criticism is worth our"
wdiile. The word "commandment," liku
tlw word "law," may have either a narrotv
or a broad significance, 'i he narrow t-ig-niiicance
of th:t is "particular precept'' a'
tended liy "(larticular sanction. ' A broad
er meaning is that of a "holy ordained in
stitution and system," and that broader
meaning evidently should be here iKcd be
cause of the context. We come then to
the entire stolement: "The end. or aim, of
the whole Christian institution is love out
of a pure heart, and of a good conscience,
und of faith unfeigned."
It originated in a heart of boundless love
toward man in un act of love unparalleled,
we may suppose in all the ages of eternity
even the gift of (Soil's only Son. All its
precepts turn in this direction. Church or
ganizations and ministrations of every
kind, if they be rinhtiv directed, have sun
ply this purpose to discharge I lie human
soul of that KPllishncM that belongs to it
bv nature, and to enter into it all tho love
of (iod.
Now all familiar with the New Testa-.
Tnent knew that this is no solitary utter
anceit is but "one of monV broad ond
comprehensive statements.- One came to
the Master saying: "Which is tlt first and
treat commandment r And He ans
Tholl shalt love the Lord tliv (lod
all thy heart, and with nil thv soul, sin
with all thy mind, and with nil thy
sircngin; ims is ine nrsi niiiiiiiannmciii,
and ttio second is like unto it: Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two
romnisndments han ail the law and the
prophets." In another passage St. Paul
tells us that "Love is the ftiltillmg of tho
law." If thcrj be any other cominauii
ment, tt is briefly comprehended in this
saying: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor ns
thyself." St. James calls this the "royal
law." St. l'aul tells us: "Above ail thin,
have fervent charity one toward another."
And Ht. John, in a memorable passage, in
one of his' epistles, tells us that "tlod is
lore, and ho that dwellcth in love dwrllelh
in (lod nnd (iod in him."
Christ told the story of a man who went
down from Jerusalem to Jericho ami fell
among robbers, as ono may nowadays do
on that toad. They robbed him, stripped
him of his raiment, wounded him, and left
him balf dead. Then came one ot the chief
representatives of the current religion, a
priest, and passed by on the other side,
Then there carne down a subordinate rep
resentative of the current religion, n in
vite, and he came and looked and passed
by on the other side. t Then came a heretic
in religion, an alien in race, and, looking
Upon the wounded man, he was moved
with compassion and dismounted and
bound up his wounds, set the wounded
man on ilia own beast, brought him to an
inn find took care of him for tli? night and
paid the charges, leaving money for addi
tional charges, saying to the inn keeper:
"If it costs more I Will repay when I eoinc
gain. And tint alien in race, that here
tic in religion, the Lord Jesus presenU be
fore us as the one great example of our
practical religion.
Now be pleased to notice two facti in
this natural love. In the first place, much
of it is limply instinctive, a divine im
plantation (or high purposes, but because
not founded in moral reason, divine reason,
therefore without moral worth, it is nut
part of that endowment of human nature
by which the propagation and thd educa
tion of the race IS' made possible, but it
does not implv of necessity any high moral
quality. The bear will rush on the point of
the spear in the defense of its cubs. The
wildcat will die for its young. The eagle,
with Unwearied patience, will teach the
young eaglet to fly. Will you, therefore,
lav: "Behold, what paragons of moral ex
cellence?" Would you not say of them if
they lacked parental and filial love: "Be
hold what monsters?"
In the second place, this natural love is
marked by great limitations in its extent.
It is laid upon one's family and one's
friends, upon one's neighbors and eountry,
upon those who are of the same race, or it
may be ot the samo religious faith, or of
the salc political' persuasion, and it is
hemmed in by these limitations. How
many a man goes to the market place and
to the exchange with perfect indiflereneo
to the prosperity and happiness of his fel
low man and wrestles with them in busi
ness to return to his home to lavish gladly
upon his family all his ill-gotten gains.
There are many generous men in all our
communities, but they may be also men de
sirous ot having their generosity duly ac
knowledged and trumpeted abroad through
out the world, and if they fail of that ac
knowledgment - somehow their charity
seems to sour upon them, and they feel
that they are not recognized as they ex
pected to be. Benedict Arnold was an em
inently brave and skillful soldier, and so
far as we know a true patriot, but he was
a spendthrift, and when Congress censured
him in various ways no at length becauio
Benedict Arnold tho traitor. The truth is
that it is very easy to overload ail the
joists and timbers of our soul with these
defects, and we may notice in passing that
a great deal that passes for charity is of
tcntimes a thin veneer over unmeasured
masses 06 selfishness, and we may further
notice that sometimes we have credited
ourselves with very great tenderness and
good will toward men. because, for' in
stance, we wept over tho griefs and woes
of the heroes and heroines of fiction, and
yet find ourselves (such is the inertia of
our nature) never so much as lifting" up
our hands to relieve the unutterable woes
that crowd in human souls all. around iiv.
Another detect of the natural love is that
: simply an unrighteous love; I mean it
hunts the quslity of righteousness in that it
is a mere kindly affection and desire to do
kind things to those who, are objects of our
love, while at the same time there is no
recognition of that foundation which up
holds the whole process of human life, that
fundamental truth which only can confer"
snv large and permanent well being.
Finally, this natural love is oftentimes
ungodly. That is to say,' it is the recogni
tion In man (the children of UoJ) ot this
or that scintillstion of the inlinite good
ness, while it withholds from Him who
gathers unto Himself all conceivable ex
cellences, all truth, patience, generosity,
tenderness, teniierauei, long sunering, all
uurity-r-whilo it withhold from Him the
heart s true loyalty. ISo that this native
or natural love ot which we speak is indeed
oftsntimes a vrv faiut reflection and im-
ag of that perfect love toward which
Christianity calls us. And so we turn buck
to the text, and bear the words that bt.
Paul said: "The aim of the command
raent, the whoifl aim of the Christian in
stitution, Is lov out of a purs heart, and
out of a good sonseiente sud -out ot faiiu
unfeiened." , ,
FirstIn this matter ol Christianity w
have to do with such divine forces in their
operation upon human nature as yield
hopes ot even this great- result. It is not
that we expect ourselves to strain any
such goodness, but is it not possible that
He who made this thing wc cull the hitman
soul with all its varied powers ol observa
tion, reason, imagination, fancy and mem
ory, conscience and will, He who made
this strange, subtle, intangible thing we
" the human soul, may not He reiuaks
the soul, enter into its prdfrtundest depths,
so reconstruct, reorder and inspire t that
it may shinf in all the likeness of God? Is
it nnt said, "He will do for us far inpre ev
cre.lingly than we can ask or think?
And that Is tin warrant in this Christian
church, and in all these Christian churches
for the high aspiration toward which
Christianity points us,
And the other thing to) b said is tins,
that however true it is that most of us
who profess and call ourselves Christiihs
rome far very far, short of this1 high ideal
of character; however true it iff that with
many of ts our Christianity is simply, as
it were, an Stteinpt. to secure self-well-lie'
ing in the long reaching future alas! that
it is such a narrow form of Christianity as
that however tme that may be, neverthe
less I take it lor granted Hint perhaps
every one present has during some time ill
his experience some in contact with some
SDiil, has become intimat p'rl',j with
some life, upon whom the divine truth, the

eye has" looked tenderly out toward all
men whom it has met, and now and then
the very habitation ami habit of such a
person becomes unspeakably endearing, be
cause of this dwelling of the Ixvrd Christ
within.
Second The aim of Christianity IS love
not only out of a pare heart, but olso out
of u good conscience. That is to say, its
aim is not a mere sentimental overflow of
ti.ii-H and pity; it shall lie a living and
mhhl cnxino within, under the guidance
Of God. as to method, and as to measures,
of a wide y instructed moral sense, t'hris
tianitv is something beside mere happiness.
It aims at the preal soul of life under the
guidance and shaping of an instructed
moral nature.
And finally the love at which Christ ian
itv oims is a love out of faith unfeigned.
Let faith return. Hi ing back your Bible.

,s that wherever Christianity is there is

love, which makes this earth a paradise
and a very heaven of love. If you tell me
where that comes from I am sure 1 shnll
know how God comes down to our world
in the goicl nf Jesus Christ.
Second. How much ChristinnitV havi
you? Not how much religion. The Brah
min, the Maliommednn have religion; that
is common to all nations, but how much
Christianity have you?' There is one an
swer. So much Christianity as we have
self-forget fulness, self-sacrifice, charity; so
much and no more. May God help us.
There is infinite resources for us. Let us
look to heaven, and let us look to earth,

that when the opportunity may come we
may nourish within ourselves the victor
ious forces of helpfulness until at length,

Jesus Christ, who was the very fulness of
love toward man.
1.1 fe Without Any Waste.
In the ltocky Mountain cold fields is a
mine without a dump, writes Kev. R.
Scott Stevenson, in the New York Obser
ver. Father and son opened a vein of ore,
nnd with some reward for their labors fol
lowed it back into the mountain until at
the end of sixty feet the ore faded. One
day when they were looking over the deso
late place that once promised to produce a
fortune the son said to his father:
"We'll try again. It looks like fire had
burned off a great pillar of gold, and when
it fell it broke in two, and what we've
dug out was the upper end shoved down
the mountain side."
They climbed up 200 feet further, dug
down and found the original vein, which
proved so rich and pure that no dump was
needed, for there was no waste. A life of
consecration is a life without waste. God
ran use oil such a life brings to Him.
Kvery word spoken in His fear, every act
performed in the consciousness of His eyo
upon you, every service rendered willing
Vy. Ho treosnres and rewards. A life of
real consecration is so near to God it finds
and brings to Him Only such gifts and ser
vices as He is willing to receive and bless.
Whst to I-reaeli.
Dr. Theodore Cuylcr tells us that he
never preached a sermon in defense of the
Scriptures. He preached tho Scriptures
themselves; and they proved to be "the
fmwer of God unto salvation." We have
orty new books upon "The Changing
Viewpoint," where wc need a hundred
upon "Jesus Christ, the Same Yesterday.
To-day, and Forever." The apostle told
us, many centuries ago, that there would be
things to "be shaken; but he also assured
us that there would be "things that re
main." Whoever devotes his attention to
the shaken instead of to the firm has mis
taken his call if he remains in the min
istry. "What tho world needs," said Dr.
Van Dyke, "is not a new Gospel, but mors
Gospel!" -.'hat hits the nail on the head.
