I. What is life?
- In the natural world, life is grow
into new relationships through adu
tation to environment. A seed is ali
only when it begins to grow into
lationship with the soil in which it
planted by pushiug out its roots, a
into relationship with the sun?t
dew?the air?by putting forth
leaves. This growing relations!]
shows that the seed and the pla
have life, for a dead seed or pin
would lie unrelated.

child grows into the maiden, ea

stands in the first blush of awakec
passion. It is the richest moment
all that she has known in life, a
seems to her the richest of all possi
experiences. But as the mother
children, she knows a yet dee]
meaning to love. She gathers into 1
thought her husband and all 1
children?each one calling out fr<
her some unique manifestation of 1
love?and amid all this varied p]
of emotion she kuows that no morne
in all her life has equaled in depth
love this last. She comes to the end

Gathering into her memory those w
have gone, and those who remain
all that innumerable company w
have passed into her love, she w
know that with all her weakness
body she stands at the very clim
of love's reality. From the first t
knew something of love, but all I
time it grew into new meaning, ui
at the end she sees that in her i
all that had been of real value v
just the opportunities for the grov
of love. She sees that all she has rea
saved for the hour of final parting v
the capacity for love which life h
given ner. At the end life meant 01
one thing to her?Love.
If there is the growth of love e
mounting higher and higher as i
body sinks it must be accounted
in some way which is forced to let
out of the account the physical boi
Because love grows as the body

nonnnf thinlr tliaf tho hrwlvnt thp vi
last moment, when this already wt
connection must be severed, is a
to drag this rich life of Jove ii
nothingness.
If this be plain, that passing fr
death to life in this world means t
growth of the capacity to love?a
that love studied experimentally
human life leads us to the point wh
there is a strong presumption tl
even death of the body does not vita
affect it, we can go on to study 1<
theoietically?inquire into its ini
meaning, and try aud see why it
the basis of immortality. The strenf

being able to find a harmony existi
between the theory and the fact.
II. What is love?
Through all that we call lov<

family?a man for his neighbo

f each case. Love is just the capacity
of one soul to live its life in relation to
others. Love is the willingness of one
OF person to find his life in that of others.
Tf love grows just us the physical body I
does, by coming into relationship with
its environment, an environment othLVS
er than that of the natural world musl
prH be found for its growth. This new I
,a" environment is needed because we
have already seen tbat the growth of
love was to a degree independent of
om the body. In a sense contrary to the
the growth of the body?that love was in
short a spiritual growth. This is the t
an new meaning to be read into tbat word .
:s a "environment" when we make our dein
finition of life for defining love. The f
th. environment of life is that natural I'
he world of things?the environment of j *
we love, the spiritual world of personality. ] t
ex- In the world of impersonal things a
ul, each thing exists apart from every s
th- other thing and becomes a reality only c
ive as it exists apart. In the realm of j
life nersoualitv the individuals attain f
life reality only as they come into relaive
tion with other persons. If a stone
re- were conscious it would know itself as
his a reality ouly by beiu^ separated from
life every other stone in the world. You
ua- and I are persons and know ourselves
er. as realities only in being in conscious
or- relation to other persons.
al. In this conscious relationship there
ou is the growth of love already spoken?
ler that relating of oue's self to some resnt
ality which will allow of such an
uy terpeuetration becomes the ground of
ch though the natural body dies this interpenetration
becomes the ground of
?ur continued life?the very fabric of imtle
mortality. To be immortal is to be a
>n. person, and personality is only attained
ed through love, because only. in love
(ve can a person come into spiritual
be relationships. Love then becomes the
basis of immortality.
Love for one person here in this
world affords the soul an entrance into
ip- immortal life?we have made the
ve great passage from death to life when
re- we have loved even one of the bretb;
it ren. Out of this grows that richer
nd relationship to all men, and finally the
he richest and deepest of all, a conscious
its relationship to God, whom this same
lip apostle has defined as Love. Indeed,
int love is all of one piece. In passing

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
MPORTANT RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC
INVESTIGATION.
:nstance>< of Seeilit Holding Suspended
Their Germinating Powers For One Hundred
and Fifty Years And Then Springing
to Life Under Proper Treatment.
Not long npo it was generally believed
hat grains of wheat from Egyptian tombs
lad boon made to germinate, and there
eemod therefore to bo no limit to the
lormant lifo of a seed. When these stories
vero proved to bo without foundation,
hore was a general tondoncy to disbelieve
ill of a similar kind. Now, however, it
leems established that seeds may live, unler
proper conditions, a great many years,
)orhaps lor conturies, ana when wo con;ider
that under those circumstances the
)rotoplasin within the seed actually mainnins
its vitality, this fact*is very signifl:ant.
On the question of how seeds aoioniplish
this, much light has been thrown
)y recont experiments of 0. de Candolle,
he French botanist, which he describes in
lie Revue Scientifiquo. Some parts of
lis article are as follows: *
"Seeds that haVe retained their germilating
power are said to possess 'latent
ife.' This expression lacks precision, for
we may ask whether the life of the seeds
s complotoly arrested or if it is only ro;arded,
and tho answers would not bo the
;ame in all cases.
"We owe to Messrs. Van Tieghem and
3ounier the following exporiment, which
proves that seeds can, in fact, live for a
4...z_ i.1 ~ 4.ui~ IUa Irtfo
'griihlil iiihc uus xciintuou inc. jlxixcd auvo
>f the same Dumber of peas and beans
vero placed, the first In the open air, the
lecond in a sealed glass tube containing
irdinary air, the third in a sealed tube
:ontaining only pure carbonio acid gas.
^.t the end of two years the seeds of the
Irst lot had sensibly increased in weight,
ind nearly all had retained their germinatng
power. Those preserved in the conined
air had increased less in weight and
germinated in loss number than the pre:eding.
Moreover, the air contained in
he tube with them had changed in comjosition.
Its proportion of oxygen had
alien to 11.4 per cent, and there was
nixed with it 3.8por cent of carbonic acid.
\s to the seeds kept in the carbonic acid,
lone of them could germinate, and their
veight had not changed."
Exporimonts are then described by M.
le Candolle that relate to the wonderful
jower of resistance to cold displayed by
ioods. Experiments already made by oth>rs
show that these seeds may germinate
ifter having been exposed to a temperaiuro
of 1,008 kelow zero, centigrade. Now
;he researches of Pictet in his celebrated
ow temperature laboratory in Berlin 6how
hat at such a point chemical action totaly
coases. Hence the active life of the
leeds in question must have been really
iuspended, and nevertheless they were
kble to germinate when planted. In M.
le Candollo's own experiments seeds were
iubjected once a day for 118 days to a tem)oraturo
of 378 to 638 below zero, for 8 to
!0 hours at a timo, and notwithstanding
his harsh treatment, they sprouted when
jlanted. If the life of the seeds, however,
vere really suspended they must be able
o live out of contact with air for a certain
ime. In ordor to see whether they could
lo this, M. de Candolle kept seeds under
nercurj* from one to three months withlut
killing them.
In this state of suspended life a seed is
n a chomical oondltion, according to M.
le Candolle, somewhat resembling that of
explosive mixture?that is, it is ready
or chemical ciotion (growth), but that acion
will not begin until the surrounding
londitions are right. In the explosive
hese are conditions of dryness, temperaure,
etc., just as they aao with the seed.
^ seed, then, is a littlo b?mb, only waitng
to bo touched off to releaso its store of
mergy and send out a discbarge in the
hape of a sprout. M. de Candolle renarks
on this as follows:
"This state of chemical and vital inertia
nay last a long timo, perhaps even indefilitely.
It is at least, as it seems to me,
he only way of explaining the preservaion
of seeds during a great number of
ears. Cases are known where they have
terminated aftor a period so long that it
s impossible to believe that thoy have
ontinued in lifo, properly speaking, In
ho interval, no matter how 6lowly the
irocessos of lifo may have gone on. Here
ire some remarkablo examples:
"A. P. do Candolle mentions seods that
proutod very well after more than 60
ears.
"Girardin has seen beans sprout that
lad lain in the storehouse of Tournefort
nore than 100 years.
"In 1850 Robert Brown sowed, from
mriosity, somo seeds from the collection
if Sir Hans Sloano, where they had renamed
for more than 150 yeara He suoeeded
in making several germinate, in
(articular one of Nelumblum speciosum
a water lily), of which the plan has been
ireserved in the British museum, where I
aw it a fow years since.
"The alleged gorminatlon of mummy
vheat is, as is now generally known, but
i baseless fable. It appears, besides, that
,he wheat was always sterilized before beng
put into the sarcophagi, which preiluded
all possibility of its growth. But
o make up for the falsity of this story
livers well authenticated raots show tnat
ieeds can preserve their power of sprouting
ifter an extremely prolonged sojourn beleath
the earth?that is to say, in shelter
rom atmospheric influences.
"The most extraordinary case of this
wind is that observed several years 6ince
)y Professor De Heldreich, direotor of the
Botanic garden at Athens. While botanzing
in tho neighborhood of the mines of
jauriuin this savant discovered, in 1873,
i glauciura that ho took at once to be a new
jpeoios, and he described it under the
lame of glauclum. This plant made its
ippearanco on a pieco of land from which
lad recently been removed a thick layer of
rubbish coming from the ancient working
)" the neighboring mines. This layer
nust have been at least 1,500 years old.
Jnless we believe in spontaneous genera;ion,
it seems necessary to suppose that
;hls glaucium must bo a species that exsted
long ago in the locality, whose seeds
iad been preserved in the earth and rubslsh
that covered them."?Literary Digest.

Another stalwart defender of the habit
)t smoking is the bishop of Manchester.
He has publicly stated that he has found
jouauuo to act u ubtuui p?ru iu uuuuiiug
tilm to discharge his ministerial duties.
When he was roughing it in the wilds of
Australia, he often smoked a pipe with
the "pioneers of civilization" whom he
met there, and he found that, as they sat
togethor puffing away, their hoarts opened
unto ono another as they never would
have done if there had been no smoke to
stir them.?Westminster Gazette.

Love Me Before 1 Die.
Geo. D. Prentice, the brilliant
jrnalist, wrote many things that
Hi stand the testof time, but nothing
irthy of a higher place than these
nehing words :
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
iur love and tenderness seated up
itil your friends.are dead. Fill their
res with sweetness, speak approving,
eering words while their ears can
'iir them oiul while their hpnrt'CAn he
rilled and made happier by them,
lie kind things you mean to say when
ley are gone say before they go. The
iwers you mean to send for their cof09,
send to brighten and sweeten
jeir homes before they leave them,
r my friends have alabaster boxes
,id away, full of fragrant perfumes of
empathy and affection, which they
itend to break over my dead body, I
ould bring them out of my weary
nd troubled hours and open them
lat I may be refreshed and cheered
y them while I need them. I would
ither have a plain colliu without a
ower, a funeral without an eulogy,
lan a life without the sweetness of
>ve and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint
our friends beforehand for
leir burial. Post gaortem kinduees'
oes not cheer tlie burdened spirit,
lowers on the coffin cast no fragrance
ackward over the weary way."
Table Manners For Children.
Drink from the cup?never from the
iucer.
Teaspoons ar6 left in the saucer, not
i tbe cup.
Little children only have the napklD
rranged as a bib.
MakiDg a noise, either in eating
r drinking, is vulgar.
Always cheerfully defer to older peole
and to guests.
Eat slowly, and do not fill the
loutb with large quantities.
Eat the food served, or quietly leave
: on the plate without remark.
Avoid drumming with the fingers or
be feet; it is the height of impoliteess.
If in doubt at any time as to what ie
roper, follow the example of others ol
lore experience.
Never unnecessarily handle the
ishes, or in any other mdnner exhibit
lervousness or impatience.
Do not feel obliged to "clean up the
ilate especially do not make a laborus
display of doing so.
Do not ask for any particular part ol
fowl, or similiar dish, unless asked
our preference; in that case always
adicate something, and if there be
eally no choice, designate the portion
pith which the ho*t can most convenntly
render service.
"Old Mercator (to little Billy Ducks,
ust left school, who applies for a situaion
as office boy, ana produces testiuonial
from clergyman); 'We don'i
vant you on Sundays, my good little
XIo?to it/mi a roforonno frnm an v
