The ability to feel for an aiicted friend is not at all rare; most of us are fairly running over with that; but what we need is the moral strength to abstain from remarking: I told you so. or making that most imbecile of expressions: Don t worry.

Baal Root of III Weakness la in His Self-Genaeiousneu. Any man who is good for anything. if he is always thinking about himself, will come to' think himself good for nothing very soon. It is only a fop or a fool who can bear to look at himself all day long without disgust. And so the first thing for a man to do, who wants to use his a best powers at their best, is to get rid of ` self-consciousness, to stop thinking about himself and how he is working alto- gather; Ah, that is so easy to say and so hard to do! Of course it is; but there are two powers which God put into the human breast at the beginning, whose very purpose is to help men do just this. These are the power of loving and work- ing for an absolute duty, and the power -of loving and working for our fellow 'men'. When a man becomes aware of these great neccssitiashe is rescued from the consideration of himself altogether. The despotism of such a necessity sets ` him free, and he just goes and does what must be done with all his might. This is the history of every brave, eective man that ever lived. Moses, Luther, Crom- well, every one of them, dallied with the corners of the napkin, and almost folded up th' talent; but the call was too strong, and each forgot his weakness and went and worked his `fragment of the world s salvation. . 77- ---`-- nan--Ana u-14"-`l `|` W01`1(1'8 BIIIVBBIOII. , He who comes with all his faithful.
