A round pebble laE by the roadside On
the Mnk Of q runIifhg bFpok. A little
girl washed in the brook and it was
white as the driven snow. Awhile she
looked upon its beauty, and admired it
in her play, and then left it where she
found it. The next day it was again
all covered with dust and dirt from the
passing wheels. Again she washed it
and again it was as white and beautiful
as before. Again she left it on the bank.
Iagain polluted and defilled. The third
time she washed it, and enjoyed its
beauty in her play. But this time she
left it lying in the running brook.
Wheel after wheel passed on as before.
The dust few thick as eyer, bat the
tsWeepfng Watet carried il ali away Is 1t
fell, ana the white pebble remained
white, and clear and beautiful as when
first washed. And day after day, as the
little girl came, she rejoiced in its beauty
which was never tarnished, being al
ways washed in the flowing stream.
Faith takes the heart to Jesus time
after time day after day, and its pollr,-
tions are washed away in the flowing
fountain of the water of lite. But faith
takes back the heart into the busy high
tWays Of life, and -leayes it there to- con-
ttract defilemeit, to be washed off again
when faith finds opportunity to put it
into the stream. Suppose faith should
leave our purified heart in. the flowing
stream?
The Catholic ReUieao relates an affect
ing incident which occurred in New
York, q few evenings ago, as follows:
At the corner of Seventeenth street
and Union Square. an advertising agent
has constructed a huge transparency,
which at night is illuminated by series
of sdissolving views, illustrating the Life
Of Christ. zUnfortunately these pictures,
which are remarkably beautiful, are
sometimes alternated- with advertise
ments of profane nature. Crowds as
sembled in, the opposite square to be-
hold this gratuitous show, and on the
evening in question very motely gath
