What is it to be saved? Once there was no difficulty in securing a glib answer to that question. He was saved w ho professed to believe certain things; he was damned who doubted them. The saved were ticketed to heaven; the rest were as plainly ticketed elsewhere. The comfort of being billed clear through to everlasting bliss without :o much as a change of cars doubtless was enhanced by the. opportunity to [gaze with complacency mingled with commiseration on those poor wretches who were consigned to everlasting for- meal. This simple division of the race into the “ins” and the “outs.” the elect and the doomed, ren‘iained satisfactory, however, only as long as there was no other standard raised by which men should be measured than that of the, for- mal acceptance'of a creed. Assoon as moral standards were introduced a new alignment began to take place. If you begin to classify into the good and the bad the results will be different from that reached by the standards If the saved and the lost. lesides this you have a new problem, that of the man who neither is good nor bad, who neither belongs with the sheep nor with the goals. If you insist on clear cut divisions, what are you going to do with him? THERE ARE MANY OF IIIM. The truth is that every man belongs to this class so far as his character is Concerned; there are none unmixed with (evil nor any unadull/eraledly bad. There usually is more good than we expect in others and more base than we. recognize in ourselves. What then has become of the old sharp line be tween the saved and the lost? There is a distinction; there is a dif- ference. Men either are finding life (r losingr it. But that is a different thing from classifying humanity en the tests of their intellectual and moral rumblen-ess in credal gymnastics. The differences between men are fumin- mental and moral, rather than intellec- .tral and external. filtrate or THE an SIR ANDREW’ LUSK, LORD MAYOR OF LONDON IN 1873. ___.

Salvation is living up; dam- nation is dying down. Heaven is grow- ing up into the life and light of the spirit, the higher self; hell is decay- ing in the death of the flesh. The great gulf fixed between the saved and the lost is vital; it is deter- mined by the direction of the life. It grows wider between individuals as each persists in his chosen course,' the cm,- reaching after the worthy things before, the other sinking in the. lower depths. It. requires no decree issuing in thunder to separate a man; be deterâ€" mines his place and lot by the direction in which he sets his face. . No man can look down and live up. No matter to what creed you may give unreserved assent, no matter in 'what measure you may trust to the Virtues or the mercy of the most high, If? YOUR LIFE GOES DOWN, if character deteriorates, if the soul shrinks, if the beast develops, you ban< ish yourself to pcrdition. Progress is the proof of piety. Any man may know of his faith by whether 11:: is going forward. And here none stand still; there are no indifferent lives; either you move’with the sheep who seek the green pastures and the still waters of the river of life. or with the. goats who turn to-wtl‘re'desert. ' A inan needs no credal test of hun- self, no ecclesiastical test; here is the answer to the question, Am I saved“? in the further question. Am I being savcd‘.’ Am I turning my face to the light? 1 learning the life. of love? Is my lue worth more to the world than it was? Is it richer, fuller, sweeter. more like lthc ideal life of the son of man? Life either is building up or break- ing down for each of us; either we are osing life or we are finding it. Ilappy thev AVIIO live up, who set their affec- tions on things above, who have learn- (at the great. teacher's lesson of enlarg- ing the life by living for others, by serv- ing and self-giving. They have no fear of being forever lost who fear no loss but that of the soul. HENRY F. COPE. sought the suffrages of the.

STILL KEEN. Although now living in comparatively retirement at his house in Sussex Square, Sir Andrew still follows with keen interest the events of the day. and may be seen driving in the park with Lady Lusk almost any morning when the weather is in the least fav- orable. It would be safe to say that the long. successful career of this typical, publicâ€" spirited business man is directly due to the intense activity of his life, and to the happily varied character of his pur- suits. In this connection it is interesting to quote from a charmingly written bro- chure by the veteran writer, Edward Marston, on “How Does It Feel to Grow Old?" Mr. Marston says: “All that is needed to promote the chances of growing very old is a beat- thy constitution to start with. and then the exercise of common-sense in the practice of temperance in all things, moderation in eating and drinking. without the indulgence of facts of any kind, pure air amt plenty of mind, trust in God, and a desire to do good to one‘s fellowâ€"creatures, avoidance of greed and selfishness. These are the. things that are likely to bring a man peace iii the last. Then what does it matter whether you are called upon to depart at a much earlier period?" The recipe is provided, but it is not always easy to follow. M...»- BADLY RUN DOWN. Over-work â€"â€" Dr. \V’illiams’ Health Through I‘ink Pills Restored and Strength.
