Parchment

The original Scriptures we're written
on parchment, an article of great anti
quity, whose manufacture can be traced
back more than three thousand two hun
dred years. The finest, which in our
day is known by the trade term of vel
lum, is used to considerable extent for
recording important matters, such as
documents to be placed in corner stones
of public buildings, deeds, &c, as it will
not burn and is comparatively indestruc-
tible. Vellum is made from the skins
of very young kids and lambs, by pro-
cess of lining to remove the hair and
fatty substances, then carefully stretched
on a frame, and with an instrument
called moon knife scraped on both
sides; the flesh side is then covered with
fine chalk, and rubbed with pumice stone
and after being leveled and dried, is pol
ished with preparation of gum arabic
and eggs.

Keeping the Tongue.

Keep it from unkindness. Words are
sometimes wounds. Notvery deep wounds
always, and yet they irritate. Speech is
unkind, sometimes, when there is no un-
kindness in the heart so much the worse
that needless wounds are inflicted; SO
much the worse that, unintentionally
pain is caused.
Keep it from falsehood. 1t is SO easy
to give a false coloring, to so make a
statement that it may convey meaning
different from the truth, while yet there
is an appearance of truth, that we need
to be on our guard. There are very
many who would shrink from telling a
lie, who vet suffer themselves in such in
accurate, or exaggerated, or one-sided
statements, that they really come under
the condemnation of those whose lying
lips are an abomination to the Lord"
Keep it from slander. The good rep,
utation of others should be dear to us
Sin should not be suffered to 90 unre
buked but it should be in accordance
with the Scripture method; go and
tell him his fault betwixt thee and hin
alone" And it should be borne in mind
that what is too often considered harm
! less gossip. runs dangerously near, if il

happy heart: Thanks be to God
who giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ
"And you feel as you might if Henry
was only in some foreign country, and
would send for you by and by 7"
Far happier than that; in that case
| might hear any moment of Sickness or
accident or he might be tempted to
wrong, Now | am satisfied of his per-
feet safety, of his constant joy"
"And you feel that he loves you still,
and waits for your"
"Would his soul love me less because
it has moved out of the body into a
spiritual habitationf That is not posi-.
BILE. But you must remember, dear
that the victory is given through our
Lord Jesus Christ. To be in Christ in
wolves giving up all that He does not
approve. As we give up and triumph
over that which opposes the spiritual
through the help of divine love, embod
led in Christ, we enter a spiritual sphere
where death has no sting, and the grave
no victory. In that sphere of love We
meet our beloved, and there we are for
ever satisfied"
Little by little, through many trials
and much stumbling over the rough way
Ellen found the still waters of peace
and at last she was able to thank Goo
for the gain of loss. In her turn she
