earth, for a new earth greeted you; and so it is when the life, light and energy of the Holy Spirit is let into a man's life; he is still the same creature, formed in the likeness of his Maker, but he is not the same. He is a new man; he has been born again. (Text.)—Ulysses G. Warren.

NEW FAITHS
When the simple conch is built its tenant
adds a larger disk from the material provided
in the sea; but after a time "the
outgrown shell" is altogether left by "life's
unresting sea" and we find that empty shell
cast on the shore. When the old temple has
become obsolete humanity finds a spiritual
home in new faith. (Text.)

NEW, THE
To market old remedies that have gone out
of fashion, or fallen into discredit, clever
manufacturers give them another name and
a new wrapper. Purchasers who go by the
label, and they are in the majority, think
that they have found a godsend, and take up
the concoction eagerly.
One is occasionally tempted to have recourse to such a trick, in the interest of certain old practises, excellent in themselves, but disqualified by abuse.—Charles Wagner, "The Gospel of Life."

NEWNESS OF EACH SOUL
Perhaps they laughed at Dante in his youth,
Told him that truth
Had unappealably been said
In the great masterpieces of the dead.
Perhaps he listened, and but bowed his head
In acquiescent honor, while his heart
Held natal tidings: that a new life is the part
Of every man that's born—
A new life never lived before,
And a new expectant art,
It is the variations of the morn
That are forever, more and more,
The single dawning of the single truth:
So answers Dante to the heart of youth.
—Witter Bynner, The Century.

NEWSPAPERS AND MISSIONARY INTELLIGENCE
You can teach the missionary boards and
secretaries a little sense as to the news
value of missionary items. I know these
missionary boards and officials; they are
altogether respectable and useful members
of society, but they do regard a reporter of
the secular press as a nuisance. Of course
many of them do not; there are a few here.
But they usually say, "No, we have no news
to-day." I have been in the office when a
representative of a newspaper came in.
"Anything new?" "No." And I knew that
there was the best sort of a newspaper story
right there; but it went into the drawer and
stayed there three weeks until the whole
matter was sent down to the monthly paper
of the Church and buried. Anything that
is of human interest is news. A man said
to me, "I am going to quit The Globe because
it is giving out all this slush of the Torrey-Alexander
meetings." We gave from two
to five columns a day to those meetings, and
that man objected. I said to him, "Put up
any sort of a meeting in that hall, and if
you will fill that hall, afternoon and evening,
I will give you from three to five columns."
Those things that have human interest the
people want and need.—J. A. MacDonald,
"Student Volunteer Movement," 1906.

NIGHT FOR REST
Between the days, the weary days,
He drops the darkness and the dew;
Over tired eyes his hands he lays,
And strength and hope and life renews.
Thank God for rest between the days!
Else who could bear the battle stress,
Or who withstand the tempest's shocks,
Who tread the dreary wilderness
Among the pitfalls and the rocks;
Came not the night with folded flocks?
The white light scorches and the plain
Stretches before us, parched with the heat;
But, by and by, the fierce beams wane;
And lo! the nightfall, cool and sweet,
With dews to bathe our aching feet!
