THE TIME IS SHORT.
MY dear friends, you who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up some day; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite mak< up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your prid< and kill them; you who are passing men sullenly upot the street, not speaking to them out of some silly spite and yet knowing that it would fill you with shame anremorse if you heard that one of those men were deac to-morrow morning; you who are letting your neighbou starve, till you hear that he is dying of starvation; o: letting your friend’s heart ache for a word of appreciate or sympathy, which you mean to give him some day—if you only could know and see and feel, all of a sudden that “the time is short,” how it would break the spell How you would go instantly and do the thing you mi- I ' l »iever ha v “ another chanc® to do.—Phillips Brooks.
