looking at Christ from their own point .of view, and of course, each gives out the light he receives from his own angle of light. If Christians realized this, they would make more allowance for each other.”

Beethoven was born in a simple house' in Bonn. The piano which the great musician used is carefully cherished, along with other souvenirs .'of.the master. Once a young ladyrijyjsitqf-.twas being shown'over- the house. She strdmmed an idle time on the mellow keys with one hand as she asked, “I suppose you have a lot of people come here?” “Yes, quite a lot, from all parts of the world. Paderewski was here not very long ago,” replied the curator. “I suppose he played this piano,” :said the girl, as she still fingered the keys. “Oh, no,” was the reply. “We invited him to do so, but he didn’t consider himself worthy to touch the instrument!”

Here is a story told by one who had been a convict. When liberated he found it hard to get on. His money was gone, and there seemed to him only two alternatives—either starvation or crime. “I thought of what the chaplain once said about a fel low’s calling on the Lord when , h.^ .was in hard luck, and I thought I would try it once anyhowTut 'When I tried it I got stuck on the start, and all I could get off was, ‘Lord, give a poor fellow a chance to square it'1’lor ' three months, for Christ’s sake, Amen.’ And I kept a-thinking_ of, it over and over as I went along. About an hour after, this is what happened. As I was walking along I heard a big noise, and saw a horse running away with a carriage with two children in it. I grabbed up a piece of box-cover from the sidewalk and ran into the middle of the street, and when the horse came up I hit him over the head as hard as I could drive. The horse checked up a little, and I grabbed at the reins and pulled his head down till he stopped.” He then tells how the father of the children rewarded him hand somely, and, after hearing his story, befriended him, and helped him into a respectable situation, where he could earn an honest living. He became not only a good citizen but a humble Christian.

There is a legend of an artist who had in his picture a marvelous red tint. No other had learned the secret, and it died with him. After his death a red wound was discovered near his heart, and the secret of the wonderful color in his paintings was revealed. It was his heart’s blood which gave his work the peculiar tint. The old legend tells a deep, spiritual truth. Only heart’s blood can give the hand of labor the needed touch of sympathy. Labor without love fades away like the cloud of mist before the sun, but love’s labor is always in favor. The warmth of love makes the hand of work of sterling worth.

S. D. Gordon, in his “Quiet Talks on Power,” says that a prominent clergyman in New England tells this experience: “In the house of his pastoral work he was called to con duct the funeral service of a young woman who had died quite unexpectedly. As he entered the house he met the minister in charge of the mission church where the family attended, and asked him, ‘Was Mary a Christian?’ To his surprise a pained look came into the young man’s face as he replied, ‘Three weeks ago I had a strong impulse to speak to her, but I did not: and I do not know.’-'A moment later he met the girl’s Sunday-school
