But not a hand was `lifted in His behalf, and all human experi- -ence would say that among those who treated Him vwonst, were not, a few of .those whom He hadtreated best`. Tennyson sings: ' ` , "Move upward, worklng__ out the beast. and let .the. ape and -tiger; die.

Good-intentioned people, inexperi-- enced in dealing with many classes of their fellowmen, have a theory that if you do good to others.,it will always return to you again, if not in kind, at least, in the sense of -gratitude and love. Let us hope that is true in the majority of cases. Thank God if it is! But it is not true in all cases. Far from it! Some people will be` so grateful that they cannot doenough to show their grati- tude. '1`hey' are the people who have great -possibilities of good in `them. "Some. will .be entirely in- different. They will show neither grat- ' itude nor resentment. They probably constitute the greatest number, who do not think it worth while ever; to recog-: nize their benefactors. unless indeed they want some new-favor. Some will harbor a bitter- resentment against the man who has`put them under an ob- ligation. If you do not believe this, just try for -a considerable time `feeding people when they are hungry, helping them when in distress, paying their rentswhen they cannot pay them-' selves, finding them Jobs when they claim to be out ofwork. some will be A grateful. But in the first emergency ?when you need their support and grati- tude. some of those you have helped I most will be the first to knife you. `fauna -Pnnnd fhii: We had done 200d U1 LHU U1}; `takes away. --- `If .a. crisp crust is desired, allow. bread to cool w1thout.'cover1ng; if `soft crust cover with a towel during `cooling.
