Is 1t true, what them parsons say?" he added,

Yes, you shall see him, if you obey Sod,

then, in that low, sweet tone, she went o& to

been caught IN the storm, and forced to esk
shelter in tho fsherman's hut; but he sfid
little or nothing until we reached the porch Of
our temporary home. Then, taking her bal d,

said

abiding peace"
And, surely, 10 one who looked upon that
serene, thoughtful face could doubt it,
Adrian Vannesse. like bis great model, Saul
of Tarsus, after suffering grievous temptations,
is now preacher of Gods truth; and when
doubt or Encouragement beset him, as they
sometimes will, he has only to look down into
the clear eyes Of her whom he oRce thought
born only as the heritor Of woman's SORROWS,
to read there g neyer-failing evangel Of faith
