"The Eye of the Needle.
When our Saviour in the flesh walked
~upon the earth He had a little conver-
"1saiion with a rich man who desired to
:follow Him, and yet did not wish to
surrender his possessions, and after
this conversation He remarked to His
disciples: “It is easier for a camel to
go through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God.”
There is a great deal of truth in this,
and the cause of the rebuke is as prev-
:raleut to-day as it was then, more
.. especially among the very rich.
A great many people, in their ac-
= cumulation of gold, use as an important
«factor in the operation the gold that is
:naturally in every human heart, and
tthis latter soon becomes exhausted,
never more to be replenished.
There are instances where the ac-
quisition of wealth seems either to rbb
the possessor of the divinity that was
aborn with him, or to stifle and clog it
«so that it becomes incapable of self-as-
Inertion.‘
Acts of quiet and unobtrusive char-=
t-ity, of effective and brotherly sympathy
«and of tender, humane recognition are
‘thought to be so exceedingly rate among
1 the very rich as to be deemed worthy
1- of extravagant newspaper comment
*when they do occur. It is very true
that some of our very rich' people give
ilavishly at times, but it is often in such
«.11 direction and with such ostentatious
"environments that it contains no bene-
fit whatever to the poor.
In thus giving, the rich seem to de-
site that not only their left hand shall
know what their right hand doeth, but
rithat the whole world as well shall know
?--it. And it is extremely doubtful if they
would give at all were it not for this
magnificent and soul-satisfying public-
«.ity.
If giving according to one’s means is
“too true test of Christlike charity, then,
.. indeed, are the very poor the most
1. charitable of all the people. With them
the divine spirit is aflame all the time,
unknowingly it may be for they regard
as a matter ofhcourse what is very sweet
.and precious in the sight'of the Lord.
’Thcy sympathize with sorrow, be-
«cause they, too, are wearing its heavy
, crown. They are eager to relieve
- want, because they, too, know what it
1 is to be hungry and without food. They
. are prompt to wipe away the tears of
1 grief, because their own eyes have been
’1" full and heavy so many times. They
are glad to give shelter when they can,
dime they themselves have been
1-shomeless more than once.
Charity among the verydpoor is the
commonest trait of all, "and some in-
stances of it are almost sublime in their
generosity and self-denial.
. The poor are always kindly to the
poet. Hearts that have suffered are
closely knit to those that are sufi'ering
now, and eyes that have grown dim
with tears never fail of sympathy with
those that are oveiflowing now:
It is perhaps for this that we so often,
and more particularly, consider Christ
in his relations to the poor. For He.
too, had supped in sorrow, and was ac-
quainted with grief. He, too, had suf-
fered and wept and had not known
where to lay his head; and He, too, all
of His earthly life, had worn the crown
of pain and sorrow and distress that
seems to be the portion of the very
poor.
But if the very rich were as charitable
as the very poor, and in the'same way,
what a happy world this would be I A
starving man or woman would be an
anomoly, and sorrow and grief and want
and pain would be reduced to the
minimum. Then, indeed, would we be
a world of brothers; our. religion would
be the religion of humanity, which is
certainly the religion of Jesus Christ,
and a foretaste of heaven would be had
upon the earth.
But the eye of the needle still remains.
the camel labors in vain to go through
it and the gates of heaven do not swing
wide open at the approach of the rich
man. 6

. Saved His Trousers.
It is reported of happy, good-natured
and witty “Mike” Heal who lived in
close proximity to the house that was
damaged by fire on Railroad Place,
last night, that he was seen rushing
around with his new suit of clothes un-
der his arm, while the fire was raging
not daring to lose his clutch on them
for fear, that they might be stolen.
And he has them yet.
Thrilby To-night.
The EllinWood Merry Players proved

curtain dropped on the last act.‘ To-
night “Thrilby” 1s “docketed” and it is
expected that a large audience wit 1 be
highly entertained by the “Merry
Players.” .
