possessed. And why did she go to
the cupboard? Was it to bring forth
golden gob,ets, or glittering precious
stones, or costly apparel, or feasts,
or any other attributes of wealth?
IL aoos to get her poor dog q bone!
Not only was the widow poor, but
her dog-the sole prop of her old
age-was poor too. We can imagine
the scene. The poor dog crouching
in the corner, looking wistfully at the
solitary cupboard, and the widow
going to that cupboard-in hope, in
expectation may be-to open it, al
though we are not distinctly that it
was not half open or ajar-to open it
for the dog.
But when she got there the cupboard
was bare,
And so the poor dog had none
When she got there!' You see,
dear brethren, what perseverance is.
You see the beauty of persisting in
doing right. She got there. There
were no turnings and twistings, or
slippings and slidings, no leaning to
the right or faltering to the left.
With glorious simplicity, we are told
she got there.
"And how was her noble effort re-

There was but one, only one solitary

there been leg of mutton, loin of
lamb, a fillet of veal, even an ice

been different, the incident would
have been otherwise. But it was
bare, my brethren, bare as bald

''Many of you will probably say,
with all the pride of worldly sophis-
