They looked’into each other’s eyes, and one would have thought that his eyes would never wander from her. “At last!” she said. “At last!” he echoed solemnly, bowing his head. That was a scene of great dramatic power, and no doubt of great joy, and is but a mere suggestion of what will actually take place in heaven when the Christian who has been walking through this world of trial and sorrow, shall see his Saviour “face to face.”

A college president found his.college in sore need' of funds; he screwed up his courage and went to a benevolent millionaire and asked for ten thousand dollars;-:but his appeal did not interest the rich man. A little later he met the rich man’s .¿on and told him about it. “You made a mistake,” said the young man. “It wouldn’t interest him. He’s on the look-out for some such insti tution to'which he can give a quarter of a million in a lump.” Moderation is sometimes a mistake.

The wily old Hassan sat in his door, when three young men passed eagerly by. “Are you following any one, sons?” he said. “I follow after pleasure,” said’ the oldest. “And I after riches,” said the second. “Pleasure is to be found only with riches.” “And you, my little one?” he asked of the third. “I follow after duty,” he modestly said, and each went his way. The aged Hassan in his journey came upon three men. “My son,” he said to the eldest, “methinks thou wert the youth who was following after pleasure. Didst thou overtake her?” “No, father. Pleasure is but a phantom that flies as one approaches.” “And thou?” continued fhe Hassan, addressing the youngest. “As I walked with duty,” he replied,, “pleasure walked ever by my side.” “It is always thus,” replied the old man. “Pleasure pursued is not overtaken. Only her shadow is caught by him who pur sues. She herself goes hand in hand with duty, and’ they who make duty their companion have also the companionship of pleasure.” “Thou didst not follow the right way, my son.” “How didst thou fare?” he asked of the second. “Pleasure is not with riches,” he answered.
