Now, in trying to find some solution of this question, I want to say frankly that I cannot pretend to make the mystery all clear, so that it will give you no more trouble; because I cannot put a girdle around the world in: forty minutes, and also because a full solution must depend greatly on our own dissolution. I believe, also, that the man who thinks he has left nothing unexplained, in the mystery of providence and life, has rather explained dence into perfect accord with the grand apostolic revelation. “We know that all I ings: rl ‘together for good'to them that ove oa. | go =F Tee 3 $k 2 ‘We wronz the deepest revelations of life when we are nct content to let this one little geen in the arc of our exist- ence stand in its own simple, separate intention, whether it be gladness or gloom; and trust surely, if we are faithful, the full and perfect intention must come out in the full range of our bog God seldom useful ones are so pretty and becoming as to make every girl feel industrious.

He had been a sound, thealthy man, full of human impulses and activities; he had been sight to the blind, feet to the lame, a father to the poor and a defender of the oppressed. He was now a diseased and broken man, sitting in the ashes of a ruined. home; his fires all gone ont, his household goods all shattered, his children all dead, and his wife, the mother of his ten children, lost to the mighty love which will take ever so delicate and true-hearted a woman at such a time and make her a tower of strength to the man. His wife, who should have stood, as the angels stand, at once by his side and above him, turned on him in his uttermost sorrow, and said, “Curse God, and die.” Two things, in this sad time, seem to have smitten Job with unconguerable pain. First, he could not make his condi- tion chord with his conviction of svhat ought to have happened. e had been trained to believe in the axiom we put up in our Sunday-schools, that to beigood is to be happy. Now he had been and yet here he was, as miserable as it was pos- sible for a man to be. And the worst of all was, he could not deaden down to the Jevel of his misery. The light given him on the divine justice would not let him rest.. His subtle spirit, pierced, restless, dissatisfied, * tried him every moment. Juestions like these came up in his mind: “Why have I lost my money? I made it honestly, and made good use of it. Why js my home ruined? I never brought upon it one shadow of disgrace. Why am I hereaven of my children, and worse than bereaven of my wife? If this is the restlt of goodness, where is cause and effect? ‘What is there to hold on by, if all this misery and mildew can come of upright, downright truth and purity?’ § Questions’ like these forced themselves upon him and would not be silenced. these spirits that troubled him could have whispered, ‘Now, Job, what is the use of your whining? You know that you have got just what you deserve; that you are a poor, old pewter Pecksniff, with not one ‘grain of real silver about you. Your whole life has been a sham.” The second element in Job’s . misery seems to lie in the fact that there appeared to be light everywhere except on oT own life... If life would only strike a fair aver- age; if other good men had suffered, too, or even bad men—then he could bear it better. But the world went on just the same. The sun shone’ with as much splendor as on his wedding day. The moon oured out her tides of moulton gold, night retted the blue vault with fires, trees blossomed, birds sang, and young men and maidens danced under the palms. Other homes were full of gladness. This man wreck, stranded on a desolate shore: a broken man, crying, “Oh, that it were with me as in days gone by, when the candle of the Lord shone round about me; when I took my seat in the market place, and justice was my robe and diadem! When I $hink of it, I am confounded. One dieth in the fullness of his prosperity, wholly at ease and quiet; another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, not having tasted Lleasarg, How is it? What does it mean? Vhy fis light given to a man whose way is dence and the last page in time would vin- dicate the first. Men do not so live and die; and such cannot have been the primi- tive conclusion of the history. It has deeper meaning and a sublimer justifica- tion, or it had never been inspired by the Holy Ghost. And this issure to suggest itself to you as you read the story, that. Job, in his trouble, would have lost nothing and gained very much if he had not been so im- atient in coming to the conclusion that od had left him, that life was a mere apple of Sodom, that he had backed up to reat walls of fate and he had not a friend oft on the earth. His soul, looking through her darkened windows, concluded the heav- ens were dark. The nerve, quivering at the gentlest touch, mistook the ministra- tion of mercy for a blow. He might haye found some cool shelter for his agony; he preferred to sit on the ashes in the burn- ing sun. He knew not where the next robe was to come from; this did not deter him from tearing to.shreds the robe that was to shelter him from the keen winds. It was a dreadful trial at the best; it was worse for his way of meeting it; and, when he was at once in the worst health and temper possible, he said: “Why is light given to a man whose way is hid?” Is not this now, as it was then, one of the most serious mistakes that can be made? I try to solve great problems of provi- dence, perhaps, when I am so unstrung as to be entirely unfitted to touch their more subtle, delicate and far reaching har- monies. As well might you decide on some exquisite anthem when your organ is broken, and conclude there is no music in it because you can make no music of it, as, in such a condition of life and such a temper of the spirit. try to find these great harmonies of God. When I am ‘in trouble, then, and darkness comes down on me like a pall, the first question ought to be, “How much of this unbelief about providence and life, like Cowper's sense of the unpardonable sin, comes from the most material disorganization? Is the darkness I feel in the soul, or is it on the windows through which the soul must see?’ Then, clear on this matter, the man tried so will endeavor to stand at the first, wheres this sad hearted man stood atv the last, in the shadow of the Almighty, if he must stand in a shadow, and holdjon to the confidence that somewhere within all this trial is the eternal, the shadows of a great rock in a weary land. Friends speculate all about the mystery, and their conclusions from their premises are entirely correct; but they have forgetten to take in the separate sovereizn will of God, as working out a great purpose in the man’s life, by which he is fo be lifted into a grander reach of insight and experience than ever he had before. Job said: “I suffer, I am in darkness and disappoint- Job's where the soul stands at the parting of the worlds; or sat down beside widows and little children, when the desire of their eves was taken away with a stroke, or rasped the hands of strong men, when all they had toiled for was gone, nothing left but honor; or ministered to men mangled on the battlefield beyond all tell- ing; and heard in all these places where darkness was on the way, melodies, melo- dies that I never heard among the com- monplaces of prosperity, I could not be so the spray, but the lion on the spring, how shall we dare lose heart and hope? So, then, while we may not know what trials wait ‘on~any of us, we can believe that as the days in which = this = man wrestled with. his dark maladies are the only days that make him worth remem- brance, and but for which his name had never been written in the book of life; so the days through'®which we sirdggles. finding no sway, but never losing the light will be the most significant we are ad to live. Indeed, men of all ages have wrestled with ‘this problem of the differ- ence between the conception and the ‘con- dition. Life is full of these appeals, from the doom that is on us to the love that is over us—from the God we fear to the God we worship. The very Christ cries once: “My God! Why ~hast Thou for- saken Me?” Yet never did our noblest and best, our apostles, martyrs and. con- fessors, flinch finally from their irust, that God is light; that life is divine: that there is a way, though we may not see it; and have gone singing of their deep con- fidence, by fire and cross into the shadow of death. It i$ true, nay, it is truest of all, that “men who suffered countless ills in battles: for the true and just,” have had the strongest conviction, like old Latimer, that a way would open in those moments when it seemed most, impossible. Their light on the thing brought a commanding assurance that there must somewhere. sometime, be-light on the way. Aim High, If one seems to promote his cwn per sonal welfare, it is at the best a low aim, unworthv of a true man. Selfishness, or selfness, even of the highest sort, is ever below what is superior. to a man: and any man and every man should always be as- piring and striving toward that which is superior to himseli. here are two vital difficulties in the way of a selfish. man’s strivings for his own personal good, even the highest. In the first place, it is a man’s duty to seek what is more important than his own per- sonal-goed; and in the second place, the man who strives to secure his own hi h- est personal good is pretty sure to’ fail in his Ine. Any. man who doés his duty and fills his, place has some’ object of pursuit Ww 1 than himself; and, on the other hand, on- ly the man who lives for something outs. side of himself is Successful in, his striv- ing. It is a mistake and a folly to strive in an effort where, at the best, he will hopelessly fail.

Happiness comes from within, not without, and the consciousness that you have done well that thing, however great or small, which has come to your hand, will smooth away the wrinkles of discontent and make life worth living. Take a little time for self-communion—if you have not done so already—and see if you cannot ficure out a new and more beautiful pattern for the coming years, for, as someone has said, “Life is like a roll of costly material passing swiftly through our hands, and we must em- broider our pattern oun it as it goes: we cannot wait to pick up a false] stitch or pause long before we set | another.” So we dare not dally too long, lest time is mo more for us.— Pittsburgh Dispatch, WOMEN IN FIELDS OF ART. There are carping critics—masculine, of course—who point to the failure of women in cértain fields of art as evi dence that they do not . constitute, as Mrs. Grand and others would have us believe, the superior sex. Men may be ethically and morally debased, but in poetry, music, painting, sculpture, they have manifested a supreme geni- us whieh the other sex does not pos- sess. Of eourse, ihere -are various explanations of a fact which can hard- ly be disputed. One is that women have not had the chance that men have had, and that in the coming centuries they will outdo all that men have done in the past. But this argument in- volves a pure assumption. Besides, it ‘remains to be demonstrated that geni- i us develops. in exact ratio with oppor- and in. poetry, too, they have agcom- plished at least something, even if no woman poet can be ranked with Shakespeare or Goethe or Dante.

Judging from my own experience, I always take wich ‘a pinch of salt the thrilling accounts which some women travelers write about their hardships.” CH YWhile women are not allowed to plead as lawyers in German courts, not a few are otherwise employed as ex- perts in various branches of the pro- fession.

In the northern Shan States, on t border of Burma, is a tribe called t Wild Was. These people propitiate with human skulls, the démons whom they worship. Outside very village in their country there are many posts, all in one line, decked with human skulls. A niche .is cut in ,the, back of each post, with a ledge on which the skull can rest and grin through a hole in front of it. Every village has a dozen and some as many as a hundred of these head posts.
