less anguish, in the cruel companionship
of your distress.
Our Lord sometimes waits in Betha-
bara, when we need him in Bethany,
that he may furnish us with larger rea-
son for faith in him. This was the ex-
PLANTATION of our Lords absence from
the dying-bed of Lazarus. He said to
his disciples: 81 am glad for your sakes
that was not there, to the intent that
ye might belive." No life can get on
without faith.
Now, religious life is one impelled
and inspired by faith in a personal,
loving, guarding God. The soul is weak
and perplexed, and dim of eye, and
feeble of foot and arm; but the soul
looking out from itself toward God by
faith discerns his strength, his clear
knowledge. the promise of his uplifting
lives not in itself, but in its God !;
takes to itself the power and light and
love of God and, like child, sure that
it is safe and supplied because it is fold
ed in the mothers arms, rejoices in a
rapturous security because it is gathered
into the Infinite Bosom.
Precisely such ground for faith did
not our Lord yield his disciples and
these sisters through his tarrrying at
Bethabara Lazarus was dead. He
had been four days lying in that tomb
Death had begun to wanton on him.
The sisters had sent forth their prayer !;
but he had tarried. But In our Lord s
triumph over the dark death of Lazarus,
through the power of his resurrection,
did he not disclose to these, and through
them to us, indestructible reason for
victorious faith ? ITO the intent that
ye might believe" Sometimes our Lord
tarries, not that we may in the end be-
lieve him less, but that we may believe
him more.

THE REST THAT REMAINETH

Am nearing the river where burdens
will cease to be borne ? Is my work
almost done, and shall | enter into rest?
The sun is growing DINNER, and getting
farther from me, and its light is not so
brilliant as in former days. Is this a
sure indication that the end is approach
ing? AS We approach the river do the
shadows little longer grow and the
sunlight seem farther away? The d.
vision between time and eternity must
be strange land for mortals, one which
carries in its bosom no sunny spot of
cheer and comfort. Do we tarry there
only a moment before passing to bright
forever? These shadows are calculated
to take out of our lives all selfish ambi-
lions and worldly pleasures. AS we
pass through these shadows will our i'm
projections and sins be lost in the dark
ness? Is this our final escape from the
enemy. and when we get to the golden
shores we will then be free? If so
dread not its gloom. Let my feet touch
the surging tide, though it be in the
valley of shadows, in the border land Of
time and eternity. My soul is weary
and would fly away and be at rest.

something more than a passing Iasnion IN

when London alone employed two Thousand

article of dress worn by ladies of fashion.
Now il is her own handiwork. the hours OF
patient stitching. the choice Of materials ana
colors, and the realization of an artistic
thought that the lady Of fashion IS proud OF,

She has now real appreciation OF the beauty

Of course, many things are embroidered

we may feel certain that the enthusiasm

of a gentleman, who purchased and pre-

that Massachusetts landmark. NJ. S. Porter,
in one of the Boston papers, at that time
said: This majestic bird is always moved
and most demonstratlve at the sound of mar

regiment, but no drop OF his blood was ever
sacrificed. Vainly did rebel sharp-shooters
aim at his dark figure, conspicuously paint

charmed life and his loyal comrades almost
looked up to him as their leader, and with
pride believed in him as bird of good omen
