Itut there is another path to which 1
would csll your attention today. It Is
that which you once traveled when go
ing to Sunday school and to the church
of your childhood. If that church was
iu the country, theu there was poetry
In your going. When the eull of the
village hell rang those notes would
pr.-ss their way through the atmos
phere like bubbles of air working their
way up from the bottom of a stream
They would come nearer and nearer to
your etir, as the bubbles come nenrer
and nearer to the surface of the wa
ters. Then with a happy laugh they
would seem to burst. You woukl first
tnenots of tender ; tllose noteg wmMl yoU would be
riding toward tlie town. Father and
mother, brothers and sisters would all
he crowded together In the one ear
risge. My, there was a big load of you
who iiK.'d to travel that road! No won

you rememtc r the great big lump that
stuck in your throat. You remember
how between your sobs you said: "The

Aged, gray haired man, that was a
beautiful path over which you went to
church for the first time. That was a
holy drive you took on the morning
you went to take your first communion.
There is still another path which you
once trod. This path Is fragrant with
biossoms. Like the fabled trees of old,
the heavy bfaiuhes which line it are
laden with silver balls. It Is the path
which once led up to your mama go al

walk of a city, then In all probability
yon walked. You walked by the side
ef your father or mother, because you
wpre the youngest. Then your new
shoes would squeak at every step.
Those shoes kept new for a long while,
because you were only allowed to wear
them on Sunday. Hut as yon rode or
walked to that Sunday school and to
your first church services a great
change came over your family party.
One of your sisters or brothers left
your side and weut up to the church al
tar. One by one they there gave their
hearts to Christ and publicly confessed
him at the communion table. After
awhile your turn came. You can see
yourself now as you came before the
church session. You remember how
the old minister wiped bis glasses. lie
put his hand upon your shoulder and
said: "My boy, why do you want to
as having been Eec-u in the palace where
you know, the night she pave herself the governor general had been a guest
to me she made nie kneel with her an 1 j Kmlmrrasslng questions were publicly
we both made a prayer that tlml would
hear and help nie keep my vows." Ah.
yes, my brother. I know lust how you
feel when you think of that old path
which led up to your marriage altar!
When you took the trembling hand of
that young girl In yours you truly felt
that you wan till to be good. You
promised (!od, then and there, for her
sake as well as your own, to live a
good, true, pure, noble. Christian Pfe.
Have you kept your vow? Are you
willing to go to church with her now
ns you did when you were engsged to
her? Are you helping her to set the
right example before your children
your children and hers? Remember,
man, you made a promise to her and to
God on the night of your wedding.
Will you seek the old path of conse
crated love, which wound through the
days of your courtship and ended on
the night you took your heart love as
a bride from her fathers home?
ltut there Is still one more path I
want you to seek. That Is the one
which led down by the cradle of your
children. When your first child was
bom, If you had the least spaiV of
manhood In your makeup, you wanted
to be a good man for your baby's salse.
Kven the lowest form of human being
feels the uplifting power when a child
is horn to him.
Ilesides that, my brother, have you
also tried to follow out that pledge you
made lo Cod in the night when your
baby was very sick? You well r- ia sn

In various accusations against t he gov
ernor general. Similar episodes in earlier
years of Iirltish rule In India were re
vived. The maharajah has come to the
rescue of his guest. He writes for publi
cation that three days after the departure
of bis superior, the governor general, he
received a letter from an agent of the
governor Reneral to the efTect that "a few
Ivory chairs" in the rooms occupied by
his late guest had attracted the attention
of the governor general. They corre
sponded to some already In his posses
sion. Would the maharajah part with
them at a reasonable price? According
to oriental etiquette the expressed wiBh
of a guest Is equivalent to a command
upon the host The host wrote that It
would be repugnant to him to accept a
price, but as a gift under the circum
stancesthat Is. from, an inferior to a
superior Is forbidden In India by rules
of the house of commons the host sug
gested a compromise. He would take a
riile In exchange for the carved Ivory
chairs. It may be allowed that Amer
