much as q room with windows and a

holes of escape to the soul, leading it to
other scenes and other spheres.
Last Sunday, New England parson,
finding the majority of his congregation
asleep, suddenly paused in his discourse
and requested the choir to sing hymn.
The choir and orgaliist responded with
such boisterous good will that in two
minutes every soul in the church was
wide awake. Theparson then proceeded
with his sermon.
Many people think themselves perfect
ly virtuous, because, being well-fed
they have no temptation to vice. They
don't distinguish between virtue and
victuals.
However strong may be your desire to
procure information, never get it through
key-hole. All good educational sys-
TENS stop that often-sought avenue.

chilling, and all fear is left behind,
and the Christian is amid the fields of
the paradise Of God.
