LOOK UP!-There come times TO us
when we hardly know which way to
turn or in which direction to look for
aid No man or woman lives to middle
life without going through some hard
places. Bitter experience comes to
the heart. Dear ones are taken away.
Riches are dissipated. The trusted
prove unworthy of confidence, aud the
soul is like a ship beaten OF the wind
and tossed. But there is always one
way to look. Look up. There, tar
above the black clouds, shines the blue.
There, somewhere out of sight, but
inexpressibly near to the frail one who
seeks his help, is the friend who is ever
waiting to be gracious. what a friend
we have 10 Jesus, as the song says.
.Is there trouble anywhere? Take il to
the Lord in prayer When we are
hedved in, and go cropping through thorn
and thicket to find our way out, there Is
always that narrow way and the angels
waiting to take our hand and guide US
into it.

was Robert on his way to his home at
the other end of the village. NOW he
walked rapidly lest he should be over
taken, now slowly lest he should meet
some one; now in the roads, now in
the fields, gliding behind the bushes
climbing walls. and stunning glances
like gypsy who had stole a chicken
from farmers poultry yard. AT this
moment the white cross was an lnsup-
portable weight.

this time hoped 10 find little rest. But
as soon as his wife perceived him she
began to cry out:

for patience, replied by blow and the
result was scufle between the two, to
the great scandal Of the neighbors, who
ran to separate them.
Everybody blamed Robert, who
when he became calm, understanding
that there was no rest or peace for him
otherwise, efaced the cross Of his own
accord.
The Monday following he carried his
rent 10 the house Of his landlord.
