True peace of mind does not depend, as some seeni, to suppose, on the external incidents of riches and poverty, of health and sickness, of friendships and enmities. It has no necessary dependence upon so ciety or seclusion; upon dwelling in eitWor in the desert. Let the heart be right, lt il be fully united with the will of God, and we shall be. entirely con tented with those circumstances in which Providence has seen fit to place us, however unpropitious they may be in a worldly point of view.

On that depends, our ability to believe tftiat people say, not! only, bet to interpret fittingly Jtheir aetins.; . An insineere person is like a flawed crystal, fatally mar red, and every other brilliant or fine quality is rend ered worthless by the shocking defect in the grain, which no excellence of anotehr kind can condone. In our own lives, in speech, in deed, in thought, a prime endeavor should be to cultivate a noble candor an unshrinking fidelity to truth, and an unbroken sincerity. Temptations come, in social intercourse to be politely acquiescent in what we do not approve, to make excuses which we only half believe, to violate the truth; and we suffer insincerity to eat into our souls, as "'a corroding rust. ; Truth need never be brutally spoken! The Bible speaks of the union of truth and love in our conversation. It is worth much effort, humility and prayer to attain sincerity in all things. -' " ... IIow can aiiy one use the 'scriptures Irreverently 1 We might think that the slightest realization of ' what they contain'would check every attempt at making merry with its words or incidents. We are no con sidering now that irreverent use which indicates ut let unbelief and hatred, and which becomes shocking, but simply the quotation of the words and incidents of the' scriptures to point a jest and raise a laugh, a In many instances no harm is intended, but harm is done all the same. Without going very far into tha subject, and without the many reasons against this species of irreverence, let it be said that if there were no other reasan for omitting it, it would be sufficient to know that when ludicrous aossociation is mads with a text or an incident it is apt to stick to it Whenever you think of the text the other, is recalled Lei it be part of our reverence, then, to treat the aacerd scriptures as tontaing God's revelation of truth and life to luen.
