Ifa philosophizer !s-in need of.a text he can always find one in the Ings of Golomon. “The budding time of the year” appealed to the man, with its beauty and its hope, as it appeals to all Nature-lovers jp-day, And in his Song he said: “For'lo! the winter is past, the rain 1s over and gone; the flowers sppear on ‘earth; the time of the singing of birds.ts come, and the voice of the turtle Is d in the land. | The yearly miracle of # “new- created world” repeats itself in the greens of the leafing trees,. the fresh beauty of the early blossoms in all the familiar sights and sounds of the Resurrection of Nature the death-sleep of winter, {he lesson of the springtime is Life—life renewed, life for labor and ‘Tove, life as a growth and immortality as a “great hope.” iJ s * foo many play it very like the whist player who is forever fretting about “eards and berating the dealer. The true philosophy is to recognize Q dence or the fatality of the “cut,” play your best, and walt for ew: deal. So in life, The man who has learned to take things as they come to let go as they depart has mastered one of the arts of cheerful contented living. The fatality of chasing after happiness and the W of clinging to sorrow are often illustrated in the same individual, A. good share of the disappointments in life come from trying to kites after the string has broken, or from looking for gold only in the feat the base of the rainbow. Vision that takes in the far-off and the high-up is a compensation many lacks, but the gift of seeing what is near and utilizing that! h is within reach is more valuable for every-day use. _A great many persons are sighing—or think they are—for the Meeasureless opportunities of eternity,” who don’t know the value of in hour, The boon of a new chance in the next world is craved most t akg those who have thrown away their chances in the world that r fs, Wherein does To-Morrow differ from a span of Eternity? Cannot plous soul begin “glorifying God” without waiting for a golden harp? is his poor neighbor's coalbin or his sewing-woman’s flour barrel? The unreasonableness of human expectations Is only equalled by f sneglect of human opportunities, ” * * It has always seemed to us that the springtime, with its “fresh start” everything out-of-doors, is a more natural period than the cold and red ist of January for “turning a new leaf.” Will not recollec- be as instructive and good resolutions find a more fruitful soil ler the vivifying sun of a glorious May Day? Memory is a mentor whenever we give it a chance. If we can ake our memories what we would have them, upon honest retrospect, @ will go far toward making our characters what they should be, A the Side.

The more the doctors have to gay about rat!nal ving the more {ts secret seems to Ile in the common jan cannot tell what may happen to him, but he can say what he will % and do, God helping him, in the events and circumstances that have do with his real life. It is not what comes to us, but how it is met, it tells in the formation of character. y And what is true of character is true of happiness and sorrow and the experiences that go to make up the sum of life, We may o@ yy not be responsible for the condition in which events find us; we accountable for the state in which they leave us. One of the chief ses of retrospect and reflection, therefore, is to enable us to take our rings and to correct our course wherein it has been wrong, If we have been puffed uy by prosperity it is time to come down, lot everything that succeeds is success, All depends upon the appraiser the standards, _ If we have been rendered morose and bitter by disappointment or | ss we should seek a new mood, “If you wish to make your lives as} iserable as lives can be,” said a keen observer, “I can tell you in a ingle phrase how to do it: Quarrel with Providence,” If we have not been growing more cheerful, patient, generous and Just since the last springtime, there is a reason for it. It may be in the Boul or it may be in the stomach, but it should be sought out and res (moved. If we have permitted the fret and worry of life to gain the imastery over us it is time for a battle.
