Love the good.--Amos, v., 15. Here is ho unique test. . In one form or another it appears in a - hundred hundred different places in.the pages of the Old Testament, and it ; is carried carried over as a most precious kind of inheritance into various parts of the New Testament. It is the clear cut . summing up - in commandment form of that which lies at the heart of the teaching of prophet and apostle apostle alike--that religion 'must find its ultimate expression in the moral life and that the religious man must show forth his faith, in the last .analysis, .analysis, in terms of right relations with his fellows. " - The significant feature of this text is to be found in the first word. "The good," it may be assumed, we understand; but it is by no means so certain that we understand understand what is our duty toward this - great ideal of the soul r The word "love," however, leaves the matter matter in no doubt whatsoever. "VVe are not to be merely interested ip the good, or study- it, or like it, or praise it, or seek after it. „ All of these forms of action are unsatisfactory. unsatisfactory. We are to "love" the good, which means that, we are to identify ourselves with it with all that intense passion of . allegiance which is at once the inspiration and the glorÿ of The Consecrated Life. What the subject means by love of ; his king, what the patriot means, by love of country, what man means by love of woman, what David meant by love of Jonathan "surpassing "surpassing the love of woman"--all this " religion means by love of the good. To love the good is to serve it gladly, freely and absolutely. It is to rejoice when it is present and to mourn when it is absent. Ifc is to be : exalted when it is honored honored and stricken when .it- is dishonored dishonored or defamed. It is to. yield everything to the. cause of right- time* . strength, fortune, health, .•AV.W. m ••••••••••• MMIMM.I CONSUMPTION OF CANINES. Eating of Dog>Flesh is Increasing * in Germany. The consumption of dog meat as à food in Germany,- probably as a - result of high meat prices, increased increased greatly in 1912. : Every year : since 1907 has shown a considerable gain, but the 1912 figures are striking. striking. " Against 1911, in which year the ' numb er of dogs slaughtered under official inspection was 6,553, the -total for 1912 rose by i,570 to 8,132. These figures, moreover, are but a small fraction of the total con-, sumption of dog flesh, for a majority majority of the animals are slaughtered at home without the formality of an- inspection. ; Saxony remains, as always, the chief center for dog slaughtering, recording 4,288. dogs killed as against 3,540 in 1911.

This is. what it is to ' Toye the good." And it is this, and all:, of this, that ,we must do if we would fulfil the perfect will of God. Our text, it is to be noted, is not. a suggestion suggestion or a request or even." an appeal, but a command. It is a ' 'decree "which may not pass ;" . a law.which must be obeyed ; a thing which must fee done.. Other matters --prayers, ceremonies, observances --may. or may not be heeded, according according to tihe temperament or the habits or the desires of-the persons concerned. But this one thing, to "love the good," we must do regardless regardless of conditions. Our whole life .must - be consecrated. .to the good. We must enlist the full service service of our hands and hearts in defence of the good. We must seek every opportunity to give our all for the sake of advancing the cause of the good, if only by A Single Hair's Breadth. Nor is this to be regarded as some r crown of our endeavors, some rare-deed for some one day of heroism, the maximum attainment for some one "single hour of glori ous life." On the contrary, it is to be regarded as the dull and commonplace commonplace routine of every day, as j - the minimum of God's demand up on " us," as the least that we must do if we would not fail utterly. God, I believe, will pardon us much. He will forgive us our ignorance, im patience, errors, ' excesses, even sins. But Ï cannot believe that He will easilv or lightly overlook our failure to "love the good" with-all our mind and heart and. soul and strength..
