Tfce CUllly?ri?iMMak' The story is told of an ancient kinr, that be caused a temple to be built to tbe aooompaulment of music. From tbe laying of the comer stone until tbe last tower was finished, tbe workmen performed their tasks under tbe influence of tbe sweetest, raoet melodious sounds. When the temple was finished, it was found that vork bad beeu done not only more expeditiously, but more soundly and beautifully, than any of Its kind in tbe kingdom.

No one'e building can be of so (mattes! or pronto * sort that it will cot bo better and more easily done under the - |i influence of thoae things that tend to weeten, purify, elevate and chcer the soul. Books, art, ennobling companionships, pure and wholesome pleasures, conversation noon edifying subjects, even the amenities and manifold delights of modern life. Its greater range of Innooent, pleasurable sensations?ail these things tend to fscililate and Improve work. v 3 Assuredly, there never was a time sben, averaging all kinds and coodiJods of labor, so much good, enduring vork was being done In the world as iow. And the secret seems to be argely In the fsct that an atmosphere if refinement is round shout the modrn worker, permeating all achievment with that final quality whloh Mathew Irnold has so aptly termed "sweetless and light."

The Christ-life is a conquering life, jut the selMlfe Is a life of surrender to an. < ' JI As soon a* we begin to associate a telf motive with anything, we begin to lose our self-mastery. Be sure to mend that in thyself which thou observeet doth exceedingly displease thee in others. It is in the chamber of self-eurrender that the soul comes-face to /Sue with truth. The shrewd, astute, and designing man is always blocked some wn ere idw side of success. . * Looking at the world's badness make* pessimists; looking at God's goodness makes optimists. Courtesy is a characteristic of tbe strong and able; in bualness, as in social relations, kindneas marks all of the first grade. We can make it our role to do alK-ayi our best, to try to do tbe good we know. And Cbriat will help us. God made man master over all created things, but man can enter into .w this heritage only by first being master of himself. Pain and defeat and much bitterness of sou I awaits tbe person whose supreme object in life Is pleasure. The taproot of all evil is simple selfishness.

There are great'problems ahead of us as a nation, but tbe really greatest problem is the problem of making better men and better women of aU of us. If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wine counsellor, caution your elder brother, and your guarding genius. Every chapter of the Bible we read shows us some new beauty in God, Mid each new glimpse of Hi* face nbouid make us love Him more aod follow Him more cloeely. When God calls us to eudure hardness, let us play the man under it; but let us not try to make a great hard ship out of every trifling difficulty that coraeit our way.
