The value of a thing to us, sometimes dep.ends upon our attitude toward it.- If vvt. like a person--or. thing having good and bad traits we are apt to.praise th" good ones ahd . overlook .the bail. On the other hand, if We dislike a person ? or thing.?having good?and?bad trait.-', usually, we criticise or con?_demn the good ones, say nothing about the. bad, which we magnify. In other words, if we like a person or thing, he, she or it is good, though the same might be j just to the contrary. Our judgement should not he -actuated, by prejudic*', . envy, emotion oi- jealousy, but by light ami Justice. the mania-of pessimism, but should always take doses of the! medicine, of optimism.

' RELIGION ity Rev. J. R. Ezell Jonesville, ? C Remembering that all of the '.li'.it, religions had their origin in .he East, and that tlie sacred writings on which they profess to be founded are all compared in the ancient languages of their respective countries, it may be easily understood why it was only after he rise of Oriental Philology in .the beginning of our century, that i really scholarlike study" of their TTTTcK mg became possible. Religion, according to Cicero, < 1 erived from the hatrn_:w.Qrd?Keltugere, "to reconsider," but accord11 g to the most modern grammar.alts, from rellgare, "to bind fast." ;lf the Ciceronian etymology be true, the w*6rd religion will denote the diligent study of whatever pertains fan the worship of God; but, atcoMing to the other derivation, it . denotes that obligation which j we feel on our minds from the relation, in which we stand to some ipotior power. The word is i times used as synonymous with [sect; but, in a-practical sense, it is generallv considered ns the same with,Godliness or a life devoted to the worship and fear of God. Dr., Doddridge thus define** it: "Religion consists in the resolution of the will fo) God. and in a constant (Tire to avoid whatever we arc* persuaded Jte would disapprove: to lispatrh the work He has assigned us in life, and to promote His ::I?'i y in the happiness of_mankirui?
