SPEAKING TO ONE ANOTHER.

Much Of the suffering which is endured
by the people of God, grows out of their
ignorance of each others trials. Those
that fear the Lord too seldom speak ono
to another. Every heart knoweth its own
bitterness, but another's it does not know
The tempted believer, as he struggles a.
gainst the motions of sin in the flesh, is
sometimes almost ready to cast off all hope
for he cannot see how his sense of deflc-
ment can consist with that holiness with.
out which no man can see the Lord. He
not only regards himself as less than the
least Of saints, but doubts whether he be a
saint at all, And yet this is the expert
ence Of every child of God, without sin
gle exception, at some period, of his pill
grimage. The hoiest and the very beat
of men have sometimes been brought to the
very bars of the pit. A David, Luther,
Bunyan, an Erskine and Toplady-
these have all known what it was to cry,
GLOW long wilt thou forget me, o Lord ,
Forever How long wilt thou hide thy
face from mel How long shall 1 take
counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? How long shall mine enemy
be exalted over mo? Consider and hear
me, 0 Lord my God tighten mine eyes,
lest sleep the sleep of death"
Let the tempted believer learn that his
experience of the bitterness Of sin, and Of
the deceitfullness and wickedness of his
heart, is precisely that Of all Gods host.
They are all fighting against the world,
the flesh and the devil, and not one of
them finds it an easy warfare. Not one
of them but must water his couch with
tears-not one but must sometimes exclain
go wretched man that am, who shal
deliver me from the body of this death p
But they may all add, with the apostle

"Ah NJ" replied facetious
old uncle, in tone Of mock pathos, "if

sisted the maiden, "and / have formed
three resolutions OH the subject: First,
that will not become souted toward the
world secondly, that 1 will not talk

ashamed to tell my agc.'
The girl read her destiny with proph.
etic eye, and perhaps her resolutions have
been better kept than resolutions generally
are. But then the temptation to violate
the first two has been small. The world
has proved very good one, presenting as
few sharp corners and as many smooth
surfaces as could reasonably have been ex.
peoted and If the words, Its hard work

the prevailing and almo constant senti.
ment has been: "The world is full of
beauty and love" Of course, when ones

little inducemept to spend ones breath in

As to the las: resolution there are tran.

heroism for womanj especially an un.
married one, acknowledge her age. To
render sufficient reason for this may be

of vanity. But when one has fairly sue.

and truly it is easier in some cases to say

the once dreaded term "old maid" applied
to herself with perfect equanimity. The
words strike The car, but carry no thrill to
the heart. The true woman feels that she
can stand on her own responsibility,
thoug h she stand alone. Had she inflict:

bused, perhaps, than any other Of Gods
blessed gifts--had she dohe this, by Civ
ing her hand without the pure offering of
the heart, she might we'll feel that she had
taken step downward. But standing in
the unity in which God created her, she
can wrap the mantle Of her own self-re-
spect about her, and while she acktiowl-
edges that many sister woman has in her

she has not, she will feel that, by the taith-
full discharge of her own duties, she also
