FIXING THE HEART OH GOD.

Throughout the Christian history, no characteristic of the genuine believer has been-more noteworthy than the fact that God is the chief subject of his thought and affection. He may be the busiest of men, with large and diversified interests of all sorts, and be may have gained success and honor by his energy and skill in his occupation. But it is his peculiarity that he is animated in all his business or pro­fessional intercourse by the distinct purpose to serve God, and that, whenever there comes an interval, his thoughts turn at once in some form to his Heavenly Father. He does not parade the fact. He is more apt to be reticent about it. But as you grow intimate with him, you learn that his relation and that of his fellows to the Almighty, his obligation to live righteously, and his privilege in experiencing and illustrating the divine love are the background and foundation of all that he does and is. His heart is fixed upon God.

"Wasn't it odd that our cat would not take to our visitor, but put his back up at her?"
“Not at all strange."
"Why not?"
"Because the visitor had a mouse-col­ored suit and had a lot of rats in her hair."

CHEERFULNESS.

If we wish to help our fellow-men, we can hardly do them a greater service than by being so strong, earnest and cheerful that the disheartened will take a new lease of hope from us; the doubting a new vision of faith; and the fallen a new im­pulse to get on their feet again. The most effective philanthropist is not he who empties his purse to relieve distress, but he who, by his own cheerfulness amid life's trials, pours a new tide of victorious faith and hope into the souls of men.
