paaaeth away, and the lust thereof; bul

Hard on the Guide.
One of the guides In Glncler National
Park, soys Outing, Is, or was, named
Mike Shannon. He wns born with the
usual Irish sense of humor, but there
aro some tourist vagaries that are be
yond the range of even his generous
comprehension.
Once upon a time he guided a nature
loving lady of more than generous
physical proportions. Mounting her
horse and dismounting was a task that
taxed nil her powers and Incidentally
most of Mike's as well.
At a particularly bad place in the
trail n majestic pine towered from the
steep slope. As they rounded the turn
the lady tourist called to Mike:
"Mr. Guide, help me down I"
With some dlftlculty the feat was ac
complished. She panted up to the foot
of the tree. There she stood gazing
upward for a moment, and then In a
loud, clear voice called out t
"Oh tree, I snlute thee 1"
Then she went back to the horse.
"Mr. Guide, help me up!"
They accomplished the mounting
with a hundred per cent Increase in
effort, nnd moved forward.
"Whnt did you say, Mike?" another
guide Inquired when Mike told the
story Inter.
"Me?" sold Mike. "Nothing; but I
Just thought I'd hate to be the feller
to guide her through the California
redwoods." Youth's Companion.

ONE OF THE TRAGEDIES OF HALIFAX
P
Courtesy a Shock.
In the hurry and bustle of metro
politan life people don't seem to hnve
uny time to be polite nnd when any
courtesy Is shown It usually takes one's
breath nwny. "The other day," Bald
n New York visitor, "I was leaving one
of the big buildings on lower Broad
way, nnd a young man stepped in
front of uie Just before I reached the
swinging doors. I expected, of course,
he would let the door fly back at me,
nud Instinctively braced myself to
meet It. . I was so flabbergasted with
surprise when he stopped aud held
the door open for me to pass, that I
came near forgettlug to thank him. I
did clean forget to ask hlra where he
camo from and how long he had been
here." .

that is opposed to
God, everything
within the sphere
of our existence
considered as to
the kingdom of
sin. We are not
to love these
things, for to love
Is to surrender
oneself, and the
creature who sur
renders himself to
the word Is ruined
by It
If any man
loves the world,
the love of the
Futher Is not In
liliu; In other words, weNcannot love
God nnd love the world at the same
time. Of course, there Is a proper re
gard for the world which we may
have; a regnrd for tho beauty and per
fection of God's works, for the achieve
ments of science or the acquisition of
wealth, or personnl I nil nonce, but It
Is where the regnrd for these things
Intrenches upon our love for the Au
thor and Giver of them that Its wrong
fulness and calumlty appear.
Suppose you were to receive two let
ters from different friends, each say
ing that he would visit you nt the
some day and hour. And suppose they
were so uncongenial to each other thnt
It would be embarrassing and Injudi
cious to pprmit them to meet, whnt
would you do? To one or tho other
you must excuse yourself, Which shall
It be? Other mutters aside, It will bo
the one you love least.
So there comes a time In the life of
each of us when we hear the Father
of our spirits knocking at our door and
asking to come lu nnd bo our guest.
The god of this world Is already In tho
enjoyment of our hospitality, but now
we must decide whom we shall choose.
The Word tells us thnt we are not
to love the world because nil that Is
lu the world Is not of tho Futher. And
now It Is explained Just whut Is meant.
Three things are named: "tho lust of
the flesh, the lust of tho eyes and the
pride of life." "Lust" In this csso
refers to any passion or pniislty cf
the heart for forbidden things, or even
for proper tilings when Indulged In
overmuch.
The "lust of the flesh" pertains to
the gratification of the grosser bodily
appetites; 'the "lust of the eyes," tho
covetous desire for the things of oth
ers, nnd the "pride of life" points to
arrogance and bonstlng.
Nor are these three great principles
of worldly-mlndednoss named nt ran
dom, for at least twice before do they
appear together in the Bible, first In
the temptation of Eve In the gnrden
of Eden nnd second in the temptation
of Christ In tho wilderness. Bend
carefully the third chapter of Genesis
nnd tho fourth of Matthew for th evi
dence of this.
But not only are these things Incom
patible with the love of the Father,
but they are further argued against on
the ground of their fleetness, for "th
world pussoth'awoy and the lust there
of."
A mysterious curse wastes down nr.d
wenrs out all num's workmsnshlp, and
It Is the sntne even with the physical
creation. Sens and shores ore continu
ally changing places, nnd fountains
nnd rivers are drying up. Many ages
puss before the eye In the course of n
half-hour's rending of history, and the
duration of nn Alexander or n Cnesar
Is but the nlTalr of a few moments.
Not only does the world pass 'away,
hut the lust thereof. We sicken of Ihe
world In time. The evil days come,
and the yeurs draw nl.h when wo say:
"I have no pleasure In them." Daniel
Webster, In tho sunset hours of his
distinguished life, said to his biogra
pher: "I care no more about politics
than a Jackdaw that sits on top of St.
I'uulX" and then he quoted Cowper's
Hues:
He sees that this great round-about.
The world, with all Ita motley rout,
Church, army, physic, law.
Its customs, nnd Its businesses.
Are no concerns at all of his,
And says, What says ho? "Caw!"
"Oh, who wishes to seize and hold
that as nn object of his supreme de
sire which Is doomed to death nnd per
petual defeat? Is there not a more
excellent way? Is there nothing we
can love and lean upon when these
things of earth aro vanishing like a
spectre from our sight? Yea, answers
the apostle: "He that doeth the will
of God nbideth forever."
These were almost the last words of
). L. Moody, tho grent evangelist and
the grent educator of Christian youth.
They are Inscribed upon his tomb
stone. They are suspended lu a golden
frame over the mantel In the room
made sacred by his presence In the
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Hun
dreds of young nnd old pass through
that room every year nnd gaze upon
those words, and gnln new Inspiration
and new direction for their lives for
them. God grant it to some of you,
Grace for Prosperity.
The man who has an empty cup
may pray and should pray that It may
be filled; but ho that has a full cup
ought to pray . that he might hold it
firmly. It needs prayer In prosperity
that we may have gruco to use It, as
truly os It needs prayer In poverty
that we may have grace to bear It.
