Why are histories, essays, novels <elling by the hundreds of theusands to-day where they sold by thou- ands t tens of thousands, such a few years ago? The public schools and the newspapers. The public schools make it possible for a taste for reading and for the acquisition of knowledge to be planted. The newspapers, cheap, covering all fields of human knowledge, appealing to all kinds of people, implant and encourage the taste for reading. Vhe tide is indeed rising. atin The news of one more--and the vastest—apartment-hotel in calls attention to the rapid change that is taking place in all our larger cities, the slower change in the smaller cities and large towns. Obeving the law of concentration, we are becoming a segregated people. It has not been so very long ago when to speak of a man as a flat-dweller was to indicate that he main- tained an extremely modest establishment. To-day scores of fam- ilies living in New York flats live on a seale that rivals the expendi- tures of the very richest dwellers in private houses. The reason is that in a city it is absolutely impossible for a family to live so com- | fortably, with such a close equality between expenditure and return for expenditure, in a separate house as in a flat. Of course, one ought not to live ina city, and the day will come when most people will not. But, admitting the necessity for city- Iwelling at present, you must admit the superiority of the flat.

And if we had the love of God written in all our hearts and on all our lives and on all our ban- ners, at the sight of it the hosts of temp. tation would fall buck and we would go on from victory unto victory, until we stand in Zion and before God.

Oh, yo dissatisfied and dis- tressed souls, who roam the world over looking for happiness and finding none. why not try this love of God as a solace and inspiration and eternal satisfac- tion? When a king was crossing a des- ert in caravan no water was to found, and man and beast were perish- ing from thirst. Along the way were istrewn the bones of caravans that had oreceded. There were harts or relp- deer in the king’s procession, and some one knew thelr keen scent for water and cried out: “Let loose the harts, or reindeer.” It was done, and mo sooner were these creatures loosened than they went scurrying tn all directions looking for «water, and soon found it, and the King and his caravan were saved; and the King wrote on some tablets the words, which he had read some time before: “As the hart panteth after the water brooke, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Some ympared the love of Got to the ocean, but the comparison fajla. for the ocean haa na shore, and God's love is boundless. But {f you insist on comparing the love of God to the ocean, put on that ocean four swift-sailing craft, and let one sail to the north, an@ one to the south, and one to the east. and one to the west, and let them sail on a thousand years, an@ after that let them all return and rome one hail c} fleet and ask them Jf they beve fo! the shore of God's love,, shore to the ocean of God's iy DE Witt TALMACE voices would respond, WRITE A LETTER TO THE PEOPbE.
