er sac GBEATEST OF MD'S GIFTS Larg eness of Heart Is Held to Be Better Than Bio; Brain, God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart.â€" J. Kings Iv 29. No man ever had a more varied endowment than Solomon, whose memory is cherished by Jews, Christians and Mohammedans alike. He had Euch unbounded wealtli that w« are t«ld ho made silver as Uip stones of the streets in his ca- pital city. He had a wisdom that BO ama/ed men that they came from the ends of the earth to hear him. He had such skill in ruling that he left behind him world-wide fame that will endure to the end of time. But this singular historian who tells us the story of his life reminds UH that he had something beyond thfsp things. The greatest of God's gifts to man is not a mighty brain, Dot a full purse, not to have his name on everybody's lips, but to have a generous spirit, "LARGENESS OF HE.\RT," as it is called in this tc.\t. The Bible has a great deal to say about a man's heart. The mind of man is not ignored. We arc told to love God with all our mind, but the naeanest of mankind. Bilt you cannot cultivate the graces of the heart without making a man good as well as Rreat. Nobody impeach- es the intellectual power of ^^e de- vil. On the other hand, the best. clean sheet presupposes that we portrayal of God we have is in that wonderful phrase that tells us that h'-' is full of compasMiin." And it is His "largeness of heart" that draws US to Him and makes us worship Him." And that is why tlie Bible says: "Keep thy heart with diligence, for out of it arc the issues of life." If the heart is full of good inten- tions, it is easy to speak well and to do well. If the he.art is A NEST OF EVIL DESIRE, wickedness is the natural and in- cvitahle outcome of it. We drill the minds of our children in know- ledfie ; wo train their hands to a trade ; but too often we let the heart take its own way. Some- body har.

God's kingdom can be cstabliehed only as men on earth do his will as absolutely as the angels in heaven. 11. Give us . . . bread â€" While wc press on to the ultimate spiritu- al goal wo have present physical needs. A comprehensive prayer for food and all things essential to physical well-being. Luxuries and unnecessary comforts are not con- templated. 12. Forgive us . . . as we . . . Iiavo forgiven â€" Asking God for a have given others the name. We ne-cd forgivenoes ; for if we believe â-  at Cod's will should be supreme, and his kingdom be a reality, we must, through faith and repent- ance, clear ourselves of the false attitude which results from (the ciaily) violation of his perfe<:t will. The reason we must forgive others is that it is inconsistent wo should ask for love, if we do uot show it to others. 13. Practically one petition, with two parti, asking for deliverance from those perilous moral situations in which it is easy fur an nnpro- toctrd man to lose his soul, but, inasmuch a.^ moral test is the at- mosphere of Christian progress, jiraying for immunity from moral cutastroplio (the apparent meaning of the evil one). 15.

Alms â€" The practice of deeds of comimssion to the poor had grown to be acknowledged among the Jews B(> one of the essential observances of religion, a matter to be attend- ed to as fastidiously as prayer or fasting. Trumprt One was used on vari- ous ficcasiona in the service of the pyiiagogue. Here, however, the word seems to be employed figura- tively, for loud display. Hypocrites â€" Originally, a stage term, meaning to act a part, from which it came to mean "giving one- self out to be what one knew one ought to be, but had no intention of becoming." In this sermon, hy- pocrisy stands for what is opposite to the kingdom of heaven, and a denial of it. Here the hypocrite is thi5 man who makes an unreal pre- tense of religion, and especially of generosity, for the de8i)icabIo pur- pose of gaining Glory of men. Rynagogues . . . .streetsâ€" There were Bovural methods of collecting charitable gifts for the poor. Soine- timoB baskets were passed about the ptreets for the poor of all classes, Jew or Gentile. Then there were regular officials who went from house to house gathering money for indigent Jews. On the Sabbath, alms were received at the syna- gogue.

As is well known, there still sur- vives a natural grandson of the poet in Mr. James Glencairn Tniom.son, whoso hale old age is being tenderly cared for in Glas- gow by local Scotchmen. Only a couple of years ago the civil list in- cluded grants to Mrs. Sarah Hut- chinson and Miss Annie Burns of Cheltenham, both "Bobbie's" grand-daughters. Hitherto, as it happens, London has been unable t3 claim a living bond with the poet of freedom. Now, however, there proves to be living and working in the heart of the city, unknown and uuhonor- e'l save for his own merits, an un- doubted great grandson of Robert Hums himself, in a direct lino. His name is George Williams Pyrkes. His mother, Anne Burns, was the only daughter of Robert Burns, Jr., the poet's eldest son, who is known to have married in London. She is entered as such in the regis- tfi of St. James', in Clerkcnwell, where she was born in 1819. NOT A TALKFJR.

The caution is not against repetitions in general, for Jesus himself used the same words thrice over in the garden of Gethsemano. Prayers are vain when they are uttered again and again as if there were efficacy in the repctiticm. 8. Your Father knowclh . . .be- fore ye askâ€" Explaining that pray- er is not intended, by a multiplica- tion of words, to accpiaint God with our necessities. That secrecy is enjoined shows that the noblest end of prayer is to set the heart right with God. 9. After this manner . . . prayâ€" Following the Jewish custom of learning by heart a considerable number of prayers, this form was given as a suitable petition to be used at the end of the ordinary prayers, just as now in our public worship. The prayer has seven di- visions, including the address, throe petitions relating to God ("Thy name," "Thy Kingdom," "Thy will"), and three relating to hu- man need ("bread," "debts," "temptation"). Thus it is a pat- tern prayer, giving a comprchen- sivo statement of Jesus's teaching about God and individual duty, in a simple, intelligible way. Father â€" Jesus's common designa- tion for God, bringing before tno mind his supreme authority as well an his paternal care. To call him our Father is to admit a universal ground of brotherhood among his true children.

The captain r.'iised the a.x again, and brought it down on the ani- mal's head. Instantly it let go the canoe, and sank, stunned, into the water. Although Captain Williams watched intently for the grizzly's reappearance, nothing more was seen of it. In the morning tv^â- o of the bear's cl.'vws were found in the canoe, severed by that doughty blow of the trapper's ax. They were fondly i>resorved as trophies O: the adventure, and were always exhibited when the captain told the story of his encounter v.itnthe grizzly. THE SEWING ROOM.

Why Sonic Townspeople are I'nable I to Live In the Country. j The necessity which some people fool for noisy surroundings was â- mentioned by a famous specialist in giving a medical explanation of' the case of littls Horace Collins,' the heroic messenger boy, says the I London Daily Mail. The lad, al- : I though able to gratify every wish' i as the guest of Lord Lansdowne at I Bowood House, has a mastering longing fur the bustle and light of the London streets. "It is a very clear case of nostal- gia," said the doctor. "A person suffering like that has lost two everyday friends, as it weri> â€" noise i and light. It is entirely due to the j nerves. Our nervous system gets into a pronounced groove in accord- ance with tho everyday condition under which we live. .\ sudden change in living throws the ncrvoui system out of gear. Both light and, noise are nervous stimuli to people who live, amid noise and light. Take, away the comradeship of noise and light, and the nervous system loses two stimulants neces.sary to its well being and suffers in consequence. ' "With the boy Collins the fact that he does not see policemen troubles him, because policemen to him have become an important part of the natural scheme of things. "A very similar case occurred with a London housekeeper of mine. She was sent away to the country, and simply could not en- dure to live there. She missed the companionship of noise so much that she had to be brought back to town again quicklf, for her health was beginning bt suffer."
