There'Il be Room in Heaven.

She was little old woman, very plain
ly dressed In black bombazine that had
seen much careful wear, and her bonnet
was very oldfashioned and people stared
at her lettering up the aisle of the
grand church, evidently bent on securing
one of the best seats, for great man
preached on that day, and the house was
filled with splendidly- dressed people who
bad heard of the fame of the preacher,
of his learning, his intellect and good
ness, and they wondered at the presump-
ton Of the poor old woman. She must
have been In her dotage, for she picked
out the pew Of the richest and proudest
member Of the church and took seat.
The three ladies who were seated there
beckoned to the sexton, who bent over to
the intruder and whispered something.
but she was hard of hearing, and smiled
little withered smile as she said, gent
ly:

comfortable"
"But you are not wanted here" said
the sexton, pompously; there is not
room. Come with me, my good woman :;
l will see that you have a seat.
" Not ROOM said the old woman,
looking at her old sunken proportions
and then at the fine ladies. :" Why, I'm

hint Her faded old eyes filed with
tears, her chin quiyered but she arose
meekly and left the pew. Turning quiet

rich dresses over the space she left va

heaven for us ALL"
Then she followed the pompous sexton
to the rear of the church where. in the
last pew, she was seated between a
threadbare girl and shabby old man.
She must be crazy" said one of the
ladies IN the pew which she had first oc-
euPled. What can an ignorant old
woman like her want to hear DR.. -

Those people are so persistent The
idea OF her forcing herself into our pew.

He was commanding looking man,
and as the organ voluntary stopped, and
he looked over the great crowd of wor-
shippers gathered in the vast church, he
seemed to scan every face His hand
was on the Bible when suddenly he leaned
over the reading-desk and beckoned to
the sexton, who obsequiously mounted
the steps to receive a mysterious mes
sage. And then the three ladies in the
grand pew were electrified to see him
take his way the whole length of the
church to return with the old woman,
when he placed her in the front pew of
all, its other occupants making willing
room for her. The great preacher looked
at her with smile of recognition, and
then the service proceeded, and he
preached sermon that struck fire from
every heart
q" Who was she ?" asked the ladies who
could not make room for her, as they
passed the sex ton at the door.

that functionary, in an injured tone.

Do you want sympathy? The worlds
heart of sympathy beats very irregularly.
Plenty Of sympathy when we do not
want it, and often when we are in APP
palling need of it, no sympathy. There
are multitudes of people dying for sym
patty; sympathy in their work; sympathy
in their fatigues; sympathy in their
bereavements; sympathy in their inan-
cial losses sympathy in their physical
ailments sympathy in their spiritual
anxieties; sympathy in the time Of
declining years. Wide, deep, high ever
lasting, almighty sympathy-we must
have it, and Christ has it. There is
something beautiful in sympathy, in
manly, wifely, motherly, neighborly
sympathy. Why was it that our city
was aroused with excitement last week
when little child was kidnapped from
one Of our streets? Why were whole col
umns Of the newspapers filed with the
story Of little child? 1t was because we
are all one in sympathy. But I have to
tell you this morning that if you will az
gregats all neighborly, manly, wifely,
motherly sympathy, it will be found only
a poor starveling thing compared with
the sympathy Of our great Shiloh, who
has held in His lap the sorrows of the
ages, and who is ready to nurse on His
holy heart the woes Of all who will come
to Him.-Dr. IaJmage

quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow Of his former self.
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system is thrown open
TO nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs falling to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
TO ensue.
