SPIRIT OF CONTENT.

A liermnn by an: Able New York IM^rine. NEW YORK, August 14.—Rev. Huttens V. Bishop, Rector St-J*Philip’s Cburcb, this dty, preached from tbe text Hebrews xiii^. “Be content with such things as ye bare.’’ He said: The iaterpretauon of the above words doubtless may best be found in the and character of the man who wrote them. There is a difference of mesning between “eowtentment" nnd Us synonym “sati«fartton” which, at the outset, we •hall do whD to remember. However fine this distinction may appear. It is none the leM real, aad in the present

may be defined as s man to oaks the

best of a litaatKMi. and not pine over that which is unavoidable in it, nor fret

over the hard Md pa which it

while satisfaction ts that condition that ‘ simply accepts the sttnation and finds

in it the desires fidfiU pleasure from the very

the situation preseats. Certainly 8t Paul did not intend that we should be satisfied with the various omnnstances of Uft any more than hr was. Life with

him was always

Let ns interpretit by his life aad know that he waeaot satisfied by hie position, but that be made the beet of it and endeavored to use it for the aceompl meat of his purposes to the limit of his opportunity. And so again, when he <>ids us “to be content with such things is we have," be doee not mean it to be .he cofatent of indifference, or indolence, ■r of unambitious stupidity, but the ronleat that s a presses itself in in .riou. fidelity. It isnot tobeconcMred •hat be would commend anything 4m this commend anything lees t hie, aad sareiy not the passive accept -acs of tbs things wr bars aad tte eon-

dition in which we may be found without s disposition to advance and ■improve them.. For this would dwarf all ambition, estop all progress and improvement and Kuspend all growth. Not to grow is to decay, and ultimately it would result in physical, in a tens!, moral and spiritual death. Again, the apostle warns against the opposite extreme—a discontent thatexpresses itself in constant complaining and fault finding; that spends its energies in murmuring against tbe difflcul ties and hardships af a duration without embracing the opportunities at band to relieve or remove them; that is ever clamoring to be advanced to position of greater trust and responsibility, when evidence haa n l been given of either the disposition or tbe ability to cope with those of less import; thart seeks to occupy new fiehl* for cultivation when those already possessed are fallow and unimproved. It was Henry Ward Beecher who said:—“A man prove* himself fit to go up higher who shows that he is faithful where he Is. A man that will not do well in his present place because be longs to be higher is fit to be neither where be L nor yet above; he is already too high and should be put

lower ”

That dam ts s large one that needs to learn this leason. Tbe world is full of grumblers who complain because they have not secured recognition which, in fact, they have done nothing to merit, and they are filled with envy of their deservedly more successful fellows. It may be that the display of-energy and fidelity is sometimes alow of appreciation, bat ta the end it ts always sure of recognition; and even when it is not openly acknowledged there is the inner conaci0■assess of having done oar best, which ia, after all, the highest personal reward aad ttaelf gives happiness. Finally, me live nobiest when we work bes(, aad we work best when we arc “contaat with such things as we ha re.” Happinsm ana contentment am corrdatire terms. Men who have area from a low estoti to ptoeaa af treat and responsibility are the man who have been content Jo do their atawat in every position they mere called upon to fill. And this ia just the lemon intended to be
