THE HEALTH VALUE OF A HOBBY.-A business man, working hard in an office all day, too often lives in a continual state of hurry and excitement.. He hurries to different appointments, he hurries to catch the train to and from his office, he hurries homttto a dinner-party,and so the day is spent. No wonder if the heart and other organs give w-.iy under the strain. Now-a-days there is too much of a race for wealth at the expense of health, and haste to make money produces far more harm to the individual than any amount of quiet, steady, congenial labour. Persons who allow themselves to be involved in the vortex of the world's whirlpool never realise, and can therefore never et joy, the perfection of happiness. Men and women who are wise will so arrange their work that no one pursuit is allowed to monopolise more than ft reasonable proportion of each day. Variety in work is true recreation, and without it no one can long continue healthy or happy. Not only is a change of work essen- tial, but a proper provision for recreation will be made by those who desire to enjoy the perfection of happiuesa. There is no sadder sight than that of a. person who, having worked hard all his life in one narrow confined grove, finds when the necessity for work is over th;t he has no resource left but to continue that work or to suffer an intolerable boredom. Dr. Wilkes advises young people to encourage a hobby. "If you cannot find pleasure in the study of the very many wonders that sur- round you, if you care not for geology, natural history, or astronomy, collect walking stick. buy and cherish old and cricked china, fill up albums and scrap-bool-a, or even gather together autographs mid poatag>stamps; anything sinner than be idle." Dr. Wilkes is undoubtedly right, for true recreation requires a thourough change of work and also of thought.—The Hospital.

Thus the Rev. John McNeti:—" If David were back again in England, those of us who love and admire him in his 51xt Psalm, would we send the 51st Psalm to him in a letter? Let the best among us show. They say, 'Hallo, here is a brother down. Let us get on the jude- ment-sent. How did you get down there, you ruffian ? Kick him cut! And then we come into church and sing. 'Be merciful to me, oh, be merciful to me.' L..t me be proud, let me be censorious; let me act toward- my brother as if I was a paragon of righteousness; ltt me do as I please, but take it out of the unjusr., and the extortioner, and the adulterer."
