her silvery curls disheveled, her corn

she looked moro beautiful than ever.
BY her side stood hagon of acidula-

and holding out signal encouragement
to those who believe in penetrating the
thick darkness Of heatheusm. It is a
wonderful fact that the Karens should
have had traditional expectation that
light would break IN on them from the
West. Thousands have already reioic-

abound in professions OF hope and con-

at a loss to conceive what basis there
can be for such assurance. Others.
