Not Lost.

The birds that lately sang over my
hill are not singing there to-day. They
have flown. twas the prenronition of
the winter that drove them away in
hOcks; and they have sailed through
the air, and they sing again in the far
Southern cline where the days and
nights ale warm. There they live and
rejoice together. They are gone from
me but they are not gone from the
world.
And the birds that sang i'll my house,
and that nestled in my cradle-mine--
they do not sleep where their tie
bodies are. l have not lost them. They
are all singing in the bought CT the
Tree of Life.
My friends that are gone-1 have not
lost them. They are all safe in the
kingdom of Gods glory. And how
much better it is for them, how much
better it is for one and another whom
your memory will call up as You hear
these words, of those who have gone
out from our midst during the year
that is past, whose estate is in the
cloudless realm and who rejoice as the
angels CT God IN. ". Beccher.

II Could the youth to whom the
flavor of the first wine is delicious as
the opening scenes of life or the enter
ing upon some newly discovered para
disc, look into my desolation, and be
made to understand what a dreary
thing it is when he shall feel himself
going down a precipice with open eyes

In April new scholar, a woman fif-
ty years old came into the Sunday
school class. / noticed her especially,
for the intense interest with which she
listened to the talk upon the law of love
us given in the Sermon on the Mount.
She forgot to look at the cut of my dress
and to put her hand on the cloth, but
was intent upon hearing, and at the
end borrowed the book. Before aDOth-
er Sabbath | found her home, and dis
covered the secret of her attention. She
had come with her sick husband to
spend their last days at Kobe, and
there, for the first time, they heard of
Christianity. The old man was exceed
ingly intelligent and piled me with ques-
tions. The wife said she had been in
trouble because she could not read.
The others all had their books and she
was afraid she could not enter this
wav unless she could read. After that
went often. The old man loved the
Bible, and listened attentively to the
words of Jesus. He believed in him
and prayed to him, but wanted to know
more. His strength grew less day by
day, and one Sabbath when l went in |
felt that | was talking with him for the
last time. l thought to make the heav-
emily land more real, and said to him in
parting, perhaps you will see my
father there" His face broke out all
over into beautiful smile, and so left
him. His wife, in telling me of his last
hours, said: "He asked me to pray
with him, but I didn't know now to
pray and could only tell Jesus" Two
months before they knew nothing of
Christ. A few days ago l read these
words and more like them, said over
the hOnOred dead in our national capt.
tai: "Life is narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks of two eternities.
We strive in vain to look beyond the
heights. We cry aloud, and the only
answer is the echo of our wailing cry"
l read them and thought, how sad the
contrast.-Letter from Miss Bdrro,0s,
Kobe, Japan.
