Tie Test of Character There is something finer thn todo right against inclination; and that is to have an inclina tion to do right. There is some thing nobler than reluctant obe dience, and that is joyful obedi ence. The rank of virtue is not measured by its disagreeable ness, but by its sweetness to the heart th.st loves it. The real test of character is joy. For what you rejoice in, that you love. And what you love, that you are like. Henry Van Dyke. TAIBAN LODGE No. 41, I. O. O. F. Meets every Saturday hight. W. H.
