mouth Hymn-hook-
"Shall De carried to the aktes
On nowerS beds OF ease,
While others forght to win tho prize,
And called through bloody seas !.
Sure muEt light II must rclsn,
Increase ny courage, Lord;

supported by thy Word" ..
They were, in fact, about Is good people as

When in the prayer meetings OF Exmouth
Church, or under the vivid Qratory Of ita min
ister, their souls were often wGEted in prayer
and praise sbove Ill things seen and temporal,
and ttiumphed in things unseen and eternal.
aud had they been caught up just then ind
there, might have made very proper pair Of

meeting, and listening from time to time to
the things sung there, aa with the sound OF
many waters, might suPposeif al those things
were true, there Was, indeed, for those favored
sorrow, no need Of caro- under the sun-that
the great u1searchable myataIy OF Me-for

The very evening before, Dr.. and Mrs. DOL

How brAvely and toyously the words had
aurged and 1ung and hsllousd on the waves of
hundreds Of hearty voices the evening before,
as the members Of E11nouth Church sang, AZ
ter John Runyana fashion
"Lustily and With good couragc."
Dot this morning, nevertheless, Dr.. Dol
drums, ss Aforesaid, declared that he had the
blues md that he could hardly SEQ any usein liy-

Great Interior Ground Line Company vas
rapidly going down, and Dr. Dold1uns wss
large owner in that company.
Now, 1t is also true that tho good Doctor hsd
that he must not expect to bo carried to the
skies on flowcry beds Of case. He had been
rejoicing and tliumphing in the possession OF
kind OF stock that could not fall in value,
though every bank And every corporation and
company in this world wero sunk in the sea !;
AID yet his heart appeared to sink down to his
very boots 1T this news from tho Great Interi-
or Ground Line Company.
