THE GOLD OF HOPE.

Bright shines the sun, but brighter after rainp
The clouds that darken make the sky more clear;
So rest is sweeter when 1t follows palm
And the sad parting makes our friends more dear
IT'S well 1t should be thus; our Father knows
The things that work together for our good
We draw sweetness from our bitter woes
We would not have all sunshine If we could,
The days with all their beauty and their light
Come from the dark and into the dark return;
Day speaks of earth, but heaven shines through thu
night,
Where in the blue thousand stsr.hres burn.
So runs the law, the law of recompense,
That binds our life on earth and heaven in one:
Faith cannot live when all Is sight and sense,
But faith can live and slng,when these are gone.
We grleve and murmer, for we can but see
The single thread that flies In silence by;
When If we only saw the things TO be,
Our lips would breath, q song not sigh.
Wait then, my soul, and edge the,darkening cloud
With the bright gold that HOpecan always lendi
And If to-day thou art with sorrow bowed,
Wait till tomorrow, and thy grief shall end.
And when we reach the limit of our days,
Beyond the reach of shadows and Of night
Then shall our every look and voice be praise
To Him who shines, our everlasting light

"Why, at the third Congress Of the United States
held in Philadelphia In 1898 the Senate
passed resolution as follows: ANY person hold.

bills or notes payable to bearer or order cannot

office or stock"

ut cannot be that It became law
Certainly it did" Mr.. Cooper persisted. III

and passed the Honse and became lsw-here'tls
