Etc. , i - ad mental-mollycoddle- , True religion hus power to transfigure the whole of this poor human life of ours, and to change its often ambitious countenance into an aspect of light and beauty, because it can nut a new content, .! more glorious meaning great experience words of life, . deeper values into each of the three' namely : duty, j'oy and sorrow. The religious faith can transfigure joy; that it not only increases .the natural gladness of our life, but exalts, purifies, and intensifies it, is almost a commonplace of devotional literature. Religion enriches the meaning of the duties of life just as it transfigures its joys. To the religious man, conscience is the voice of God, duties are divine commands, the need of a brother is our divinely given opportunity, an open door which God has set Indore us; our ideals and aspirations are the inspirations of his spirit, and since they are of God they are not vain imaginations, but assured promises; they are angelic voices calling us to higher planes, the approval of conscience is the smile of a heavenly father, the reproach of conscience is the rebuke of a supreme righteousness, and the pangs of contrition and remorse are the castigations of an infinite love. From the religious point of view every duty faithfully performed, every sacrifice made for conscience sake is an act of obedience to one to whom obedience is due. It is a deed of personal loyalty to one whom the soul both knows and loves. It is an offering of loving gratitude to him who is the source of all the souls blessings. It is a lesson well learned, a proldem set for us to solve by the great eternal teacher. It is a holy and blessed sacrament by which we have real communion with God. This is the transfiguration of duty. Sorrow is the last of the three great words of life. It is the companion word to joy. The great word of religion which corresponds to it is resignation. To the magic of religion even sorrow becomes translucent, as it were, and we see the love of God slung through it all. As the material sun shines through the rifted clouds. o God, who is the sun of our souls, sends the light and warmth of his love through the clouds of sorrow. -- TO take really good tare of one who is ill requires not only knowledge but intelligent patience and immeasurable tact. A little knowledge will go a great way, and we do not need to lie trained ' nurses in order to help our friends to bear their illnesses patiently and quietly and to adjust things about them so that they are enabled to get well faster because of the care we give them. Sometimes if we have only 15 minutes in the morning and 13 minutes at night to be with & sick friend, we can so arrange things for the day and for the night that we will have left behind us a directly curative influence because our invalid feels eared for in the best way, and has confidence enough to follow the suggestions we have gi'p.

A trained nurse w ho has graduated at the head of her class and has executive ability, who knows exactly what to do and when to do it, may and bustle that everything she does bring such a spirit of for the invalids ease, comfort and recuperation is counteracted by the unrestful professional spirit with which the work is done.

The fact about me Is," and he the honest truth ls, I'm all winked, out of practice. Why, sir, when I saw you paddling out on the lake this afternoon I sighted you from the casino half a dozen times, with my gun, but I was afraid to risk It. He seemed to be shaken with Inner mirth. If I'd missed, I wasn't sure you'd be scared to death! For a novel diversion I heartily recommend a meeting with the assassin who has, only a few days or hours before, tried to murder you. I know of nothing In the way of social adventure that is quite equal to It. Morgan, I hope you understand that I am not responsible for any Injury my grandfather may have Inflicted on you. I hadn't seen him for sfiv-sryears before he died. I was never xt Glenarm before In my life, so its a little rough for you to visit your displeasure on me. He smiled tolerantly as I spoke. I knew and he knew that I did that no ill feeling against my grandfather lay back of hia Interest In my affairs. "Youre mot quite the maa-you- aX grandfather was, Mr. Glenarm. YouTj Excuse my bluntness, but I take It that you're a frank man yourself. He was a very keen person, and, Im tfraid, he chuckled with evident satisfaction- - to himself, I'm really Afraid, Mr. Glenarm, that youre not!" There you have it, Morgan! I fully Im as dull as an Agree with you! jyster; thats the reason Ive called pn you for enlightenment. Consider that Im here under a flag of truce, and lets see if we cant come to an agreement. It's too late, Mr. Glenarm; too late. There was a time when we might have done some business; but thats past now. You seem like a pretty decent fellow,-- too, and Im sorry I didn't set you sooner; but better luck next time. Well, I said, seeing that I should only make myself ridiculous by trying to learn anything from him, I hope our little spats through windows and on walls wont Interfere with our pleasant social relations. And I dont hesitate to tell you, I was exerting myself to keep down my anger, that if I catch you on my ground again Ill fill you with lead and sink yon In the lake.
