France, in the times of the Georges, the Borgia* and the later Louia of France iheic seas only too much to remind men of ilie Vackest moral chapter* in naat biato-y. Men "lived in n'easure on the earth and were wanton: they nourished their hearts in a diy of a'anchter.” Ko wonder, brethten. with aneh apcctaclea before them, that serious Christian people, rea'izin* the deadly peril from this quarter, should in their more' earnestness often have gone too far and failed to recognize that the thirst for Sy^’d^sssTur^aiJia •ymomhized wuth. or else it will become religion’s rival and antagonist. Again, when men have tried to aolre thr mystery of iadghter they have advanced ■very diverse opinions.

It b the lighter torch of this charming gayety wbich gives that large freedom and mobility to life which it needa for ita complete expression. Amusement, relaxation and lumpiness are certainly part of the co«mir acheme. If at any period God should look down upon His world and see only solemn faces and hear no notes of ripnling lanvhter, I think it would grieve Him at Hb heart. Bat here they are ever side by side; life’* laughter and tears, and wherever innocent, we can only imagine the grest and kind Father looking down benignantly upon all.

He was making of himself and her a laughing stock. "Let us. therefore, bear in mind." the man concluded, "that politeness la politeness, but thero-la such a thing oa carrying It too far."—Philadelphia
