Il is true, no doubt, that most of those

Each knows all the heart, all the thought,
all the being of the other; as the soul
and body are one, 50 the husband and
wife are one, in an intimacy as sacred
as it is pure and entire, and which in
the Scriptures is compared to the rela-
ton between Christ and the Church.
Then in the mother,love there is the
same or greater a%bnegation Of self. The

fingers on the window-pane. 1t could
be wished in some cases that the 'di-
vine phrensy" of mother-love we're in
these matters less pronounced than it is.
The single woman has little or none of
this special kind of discipline.
MOI even one little child depends on
her for happiness. What can she do?
What work will fill the empty bands
and hungry hearth" And yet orphan
asylums are full to overhowing. In
Vulnerable mother'ess waits are floating
about in society perishing for want Of
loving care. In such a world as this
there is surely enough to do for all who
would relieve sorrow and pain and
bring JOY to the anguished heart and
light to the darkened soul. Wisely in
deed, has the Mother Church" provid-
ed vacations for the women in her
membership, and made it possible for
her whose heart overHows with charity
and the desire of doing good, but whose
hands are empty, to associate herself
with schemes Of organized ]benevolence
IN fields that are ALWAYS white to the
harvest Some of our Protestant COM
munion have followed this example, and
the Sisters of Mercy" are happy in
their work. Lacking association Of this
KIND, she who is really in earnest to
BRING happiness to herself by creating it
IN the hearts OF others will 6nd the way
open as she advances.
