(Solomon, in his unhappy moments, says
it i not, "Vanity " "vexation of snlrlt
-do good," are his estimate. The fact is
that Kolomon was at onetime a poly Ram 1st
tod that soured his disposition. One wife
pakes a man nappy; moretuan one makes
bun wretched. ltut Solomon was converted
from polygamy to monogamy, and the last
words he ever wrote, as far as we can read
tbfm, were the words "mountains of spices."
But Jeremiah says life is worth living. In
book supposed to be doleful and lucu.
rloua and sepulchral and entitled "Lamen
tations," he plainly intimates that the
blueings of merely living is so great and
grand a blessing that though a man have

nrontiet cries out in startling Intonation to
ill litmls and to all centuries, "Wherefore

u in olden time. Here is young man of
Hint hair ana blue eyes and sound diges-
tlou ami generous salary and happily
iinanceu nnu on me way 10 oecome a part
ir Id a commercial Arm of which he Is an
important cleric. Ask him whether life is
worth living. He will laugh In your face
and nay: "Yes, yes. yes!" Here is a man
yho has come to the forties. He is at the
tiptop of the hill of life. Every step has
tera a miiiiiuio bdu a nruise. rne people
ie trusted have turned out deserters, and
the money he has honestly made he has
bwn cheated out of. His nerves are out of
tunc. He has poor appetite, and the food
ie dees eat does not assimilate. Forty
miles climbing up the hill of life have been
to him like climbing the Matterhorn, and
there are forty miles yet to go down, and
dun-eat Is always more dangerous than as-
wnt. Ask elm w bet tier life is worth living,
and he will drawl out in shivering and
lugubrious and appalling negative, "No,
10. no!"
How are we to decide this matter rlght

It will depend very much on which wav th

It answered? Suppose we call all nations
together in a great convention on eastern
or western hemisphere, and let all those
who sre in the affirmative say, "Aye," and
ill those who are In thenegatlvesay, "No."
While there would be hundreds of thou

who would answer In the negative, and
because of the greater number who have

Amid the hills of New Hampshire, in
olden tlmos, there sits a mother. There aro
six children in the household four boys
and two girls. Small farm. Very rough,
hard work to oonx a living out of it. Mighty
tug to make the two ends ot the year meet.
The boys go to school in winter and work
the farm In summer. Mother Is the chief
presiding spirit. With ber hands she knits
all the stocking for the little feetnnd she
is tne mnntua maker roi- tho hoys, and she
is the milliner tor the girls. There is only
one musical instrument in the house, tho
spinning wheel. The food Is very plain,
out k is always won provided. Tne winters
are very cold, but are kept out by the
blankets she quilted. On Hundav. when
She appears In the vlllngo church, her
cniiuren around ner, tne minister looks
down and Is reminded ot the lillde descrip
tion of a good housewife. "Her children
arise up and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he pralseth her?"
Some years go by, and the two oldest
boys want a collegiate education, nnd the
household economies aro severer, and the
calculations are olosor, and until those two
boys get tholr education there Is a hard
battle for bread. One of these boys enters
the university, stands ln a pulpit widely in.
nuentiai nnu preacnes rignteousness, judg
ment and temperance, and thousands dur
ing his ministry are blessed. The other lad
who got the collegiate eduoatlon goes Into
the law, and thence into legislative halls,
and after awhile he commands listening
senates as he makes a plea for the down
trodden and the outcast. One ot the
younger boys becomes a merchant, start
ing at the foot ot the ladder, but climbing
on up until his success and his philanthro
pies are recognised all over the land. The
other son stays at home becnuse he prefers
farming life, and then ho thinks he will be
able to take care of father and mother
when tbey get old.

her he said, as ot old: "The same is my sis

But one day there start fly telegrams
trots the village for these five absent ones,
saving. "Come, mother Is dangerously IU.1'
But before they eaa be ready to start they
receive another telegram, saying, "Come,
mother Is dead." Tne old neighbors gather
tn the old farmhouse to do the last offloe ot
respect. But as the farming son aad the
clergyman, and the Senator and the mer
chant and the two daughters stand by tha
easket ot tha dead mother taking the last
look, or lifting their little children to see
once more the face of dear old grandma, I
want to ask that group around the casket
one question, "Do you really think her life
was worth living?" A life tor God, a life for
others, a life ot unselfishness, a useful life,
a Christian life, Is always worth living. .

LESSON THOUGHTS.
We can have only one life a selfish,
sinful, worldly life, which is ours by
nature; or a "life hid with Christ' In
God." We can not have both, but wo
may begin the latter at once by the
death of the former.
In the business world transactions
are sometimes made with actual loss,
to the merchant, In the hope of a re
suiting future gain which will more
than balance the loss. The eternal
Fain oi heaven may be purchased by
the sacrifice of the short pleasures thut
the world may offer.
SKLKCTIONS.
Many Christians at the present time
could truly say to God, "Some of sell
and some of thee," and that la the
reason why their lives are so Joyless
nnd ao powerless. Itut when a Chris
tian han reached the stage where he
can say to his Lord, "None of self, but
nil of thee," then It is that his soul will
be flooded with Joy that Is unspeakable
and full of glory, and a divine power
will be made manifest In his life to all
those that come Into contact with him.
It Is not hard to see, as other lives
are studied, that blessedness entered
them ln proportion to the fulness of the
surrender. Just as the sunlight Moods a
room according to the number of the
windows that are ready to receive It.
Our Saviour hath told you, the seed
that would grow.
Into earth's dark bosom must fit II,
Must pass from the view nnd die awuy,
And then will the fruit appear:
The grain thnt seems lost in the earth
below
Will return many fold In the ear.
Hy dcuth comes life, by loss comes
gain,
The Joy for the tear, the peace for tha
pain!
No pain suffered, nor service ren
dered, nor work done for Christ, is lost.
. . . The poorer we become for him.
the t Ichor we shall grow. The more
we forget ourselves, the more will he
remember us.
