The truth of the matter is, bright women enjoy each other's society much better than is generally believed; and one, at least, has confessed that she considers a bright woman's appreciation more sincere than that of a man, and that she always feels on her mettle when with woman only.

It is a fact which no 0"ie disputes, that nothing worth having is got in this world without hard work and waiting. Yet when we set durselves seriously the task of gaining a great good, we become astonished and com plain loudly at the discovery that we have to work hard and wait long to get it. This is about as reasonable as if a man should acknowledge that two and two made four, and should grum ble because in his private cash ac count he could not make two dollars and two dollars add up to five dollars. Nothing we find out in life is more utterly confounding than this: that truth is not only true in the abstract, but tha1, it is true for us. It is not on ly a copy book axiom, but a vital fact in life, that if we do good, good is bound to come of it; and if we do evil, we must expect evil. It seems to take a long time before Nature convinces each of us that we live un der her law as individuals in common with all mankind We concede that her law is immutable, but we have a secret conviction that an exception is to be made in our own particular case.

(Beluga, promise that JtoU liave tested.) Isa. xt,B; Math. xxiv.So. In tliis promise mooting but ono pe culiarity of divine promises is cmplia t;zrl, nnd that is the faithfulness of ( thctii. "God's promises are sure" is the keynote of our topic. In Isa. xl, 8, the ' prophet snys, "The graM wit hernth, the j flovrer fadoth, but the word of our God I nhr.ll Btnnd forever." In Math, xxiv, 85, Jef;us tnys, "Ilccvon r.nd earth tihall pss3 ' away, but My words nhall not pass j G'.vay." In each of tlieso the character j istic of certainty is prominent and np i permost, first, bb to the promises of God, nnd, second, as to the promises of Christ. : 1. The promises of God that have j been fulfilled. "The word of our God I shall etund forever," says the prophet, ' and the history of man re-echoes the j statement. God has been faithful to all I IIin promises. When man sinned He I promised tho world a Redeemer. The promise has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The promise to Noah that the world I should not again bo destroyed by a j flood, the promiso to Abraham of a cove nant, people and country; the promise to be with His people Israel so long as they were faithful to Him, the promise "while the earth remaineth" of "seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and win ter, day and night," the promise to be with the widows and fatherless, have all been abundantly fulfilled, and well may it bo said of the promises of God, "Ho is faithful that promised." The promises of Chriat that have been fulfilled. "My words," says Christ, "shall not pass away," and history also corroborates the truthfulness of His dec laration. Christ has fulfilled the prom ises that He made when upon earth that the gates of hell should not prevail against his church; that to all who would come unto Him He would give rest from sin; that when two or three of His followers were .gathered together in His name, to be in their midst; that when He would go away He would send another comforter and guide, even the spirit of truth, and His great promise, "Lo, I am with you alway, even nnto the end of the world." Tho promises of the Son have been as certainly and faith fully fulfilled as those of the Father. 8. The logical inference. The only logical inference from these manifold facts is that divine promises will always be fulfilled. Faithful fulfillment in the past and present is our firm assurance of faithful fulfillment in the future. Many precious promise have been fulfilled, many are daily and hourly being ful filled, and many are still to be fulfilled, such as the second coming of the Son to judge the world and to receive to Him self tha faithful of God. God's faithful ness should inspire us to faithfulness in return and to unlimited confidence in His word. "Let ns hold fast the confes sion of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised" (Heb. x, S3).

The Birth of Christian Endeavor. Twelve years ago Feb. 2, quietly and without ostentation, was born the first society of Christian Endeavor. Twelve years have nearly passed, and there is scarcely a land on the globe that has not such societies, and there is scarcely a language of a civilized nation into which the constitution has not been translated. God has multiplied the seed sown until now we have 1,400,000 fellow members in over 23,000 societies, and never was the outlook so bright for Christian En deavor as it is today. The only feeling that should animate our hearts is one of devout gratitude to Almighty God. There is no room for self congratulation or for boasting. All that can be said is with deep humility to exclaim. "This is tbf Lord's doing." WUliston church, Portland, Me., the birthplace of Christian Endeavor, hod been organized three years when Dr. Clark accepted its pastorate. The church was the outgrowth of a mission Sunday school and a branch of the State Street Congregational church of Portland. Rev. Burke F. Leavitt, recently of the Lincoln Park church, Chicago, was its first pas tor. Its present pastor is Rev. Dwight M. Pratt, author of "A Decade of Chris tian Endeavor." The Christian Endeavor society was organized in the parsonage of Williston church. For four years previous to this date Mrs. Clark had gathered about her a band of boys and girls for Christian nurture and work. This band was called the Mizpah circle, and from this circle came many of the original members of the first Christian Endeavor society. As Mr. Pratt says, "Mizpah was the bud; . Christian Endeavor the blossom." Most truly has Dr. Clark said that Mrs. Clark rocked the cradle in which the society ' was born. ' At the meeting in the parsonage Dr.1 Clark read the constitution to those pres ent, explained tho pledge, and 67 signod as active members and six as associate members. Mr. W. IL Pennell, now of Boston and one of the trustees of the United society, was the first to sign the pledge and constitution. , Aspiration. Would you see the beautiful vision.
