After holding second since Monday, Hope Hose to day cap- tures first position once more. As all of the ballots now out must be behanded in before nine o’clock of the posit-it n evening of April 6th, else they will not. be counted, it is probable that the con- test will be lively from now on. Hand in your ballots. g.._..__.__.__.___. Will Be Dated. SeVeral of the leaders in the contest "for the EVENING GAZETTE’S piano have called upon us and requested that we xreturn—to the original plan of dating the coupons, in order that teach contestant will have some knowledge of the strength of the other. Upon consideration we have decided "to comply with their wishes, and will on April 6th next, commence and date the ballots each day as was done at the opening of the contest, allowing one week in which to deposit them. We have set the date for the sixth of .April in order that all contestants will have ample time in which to hand in the ballots now out. After that time no ballots will be received unless dated .. as stated above -.-. #«O—o—fl‘ The Gospel of Love. . “Love worketh no harm to his neigh- bor,” said the great apostle, and this is a true'saying worthy of all acceptatii 11. God is love, and the gospel of Jesse Christ is the gospel of love, the gorpel of humanity. From Chiist’s own lips we have it that the greatest command- ment in the law is “Thou shalt love the Lord thy’God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and. with all thy mind.” The second great command- ment is “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” ' A great many good people believe in this '1 first commandment and act on it very faithfully. They are so absorbed in the love of God that they have no time to devote to any of His creatures. They love God with a perfect and un- fathomable love, principally because He does not'seem to demand anything in return save the formal adoration, the remembrance at prayer and in church and a Sunday glance at the Scriptures, They love themselves also, and with a fervor almost, if not quite, equal to that which'they bestow upon God; and so deep is that love that they see their neighbors only when they look into their own mirrors; they love their bodies so much that, while they clothe them in the richest garments, they cannot see their poor neighbor shivering in his rags and vainly begging for some cast- ofi‘ clothing. They love their stomachs so much, and fill them so full of good things, that their eyes become dim and they cannot see Lazarus struggling with the dogs for the few crumbs that may fall from the table. They love their own virtuous safety so much that they cannot see the pale, repentant Magdalen crouching before the mob ready to stone her to death. They leve their own homes so well that, they catch no glimpse of the Son of Man wandering over the earth, homeless, friendless and with nowhere to lay his head. What a blessed, happy world this would be if good people would observe the second commandment that Christ gave them as closely as they do the first! Then the money-changers would no longer defile the temple and pad, dlers no longer wouldcry their wares from the hill of Calvary. Then the garden of Gethsemane would be full of roses and those who walked therein ,would rejoice with a great joy instead of weeping with a great grief. Then the dead would be nursed to life instead of being buried beyond any .possible hope of resurrection. Then the lame would walk instead of stumbling along rocky ways and falling down in despair all the time. Then the blind would see and the deaf hear; the roses would be no longer hid nor the music fall upon insensate ears. . , To love thy neighbor as thyself is in- deed to be worthy of the God whom you love, but to love only thyself is to pierce anew the wounded side of the dying Christ. I Love of God that does not include love of thy neighbor is not acceptable to God, and no amount of devotion or adoration will mail at the high court of heaven unless it is sanctified and made sweet by the broadest and most unselfish love and charity toward thy neighbor. .- F.._h._._ HERE AND THERE.
