whole generations of men that had no comfort
about death, no view Of the eternal world; and
whenever they brought their friends and put
them away into the dust they SAID without any
alienation, This is horrid; this Is horridm And
it was. The grave is the deepest, ghastliest pit
that man ever looks into, unless the lamp of
Gods word flashes into it. For whole ages men
thought that the sepulchre was a den where
great monster gorged himself on human car
cases. II will put an end to that said Jesus
of Nazareth; 81 will, with mine own voice, go
down and make darkness fee" and as he
stepped out from the gate of heaven all the grave
yards of earth cried: Come! Comet! And he
came down, bringing a great many beautiful
lights and above this babes grave he hung a
light, and over this mothers tomb he hung
light, and over this wife's grave he hung isht.
Then he uttered His voice and it ran along under
the ground from city to city, and along under
mausoleum, and sarcophagus, and sepulchre
throbbed with the Joy; II am the resurrection
and the life; he that beeveth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live" And now II

burn could break their beautiful silence and
should speak, their lips of bronze and granite
would break forth in the strains of my text
THY word is lamp"
Dye bruised souls! o ye who have been cut
ting yourselves among the tombs O ye who
have been sowing seed for the resurrection day
o we of the broken heart! I come out to night
and put in your hand this glorious gospel lamp.
1t will throw glow of consolation over your
bereft spirit. weeping may endure for night,
but joy cometh in the morning" "They that
SOW in tears shall reap in JOY"
Rabbi Mier went off from home to be gone a
few days and left two beautiful boys. While he
was gone the two lads died Rabbi Mier re-
turned not knowing that anything had happened.
His Christian wife knew he would be overcome
with grief, and she met him at the door and said
to him: 'sMy husband, once had two beautiful
jewels loaned to me- I had them for little
while and do you know, while you were gone
the owner came for them9 Ought L to have
given themP "Of course" said Rabbi Mier,
you ought to have given them up you say they
were only loaned" Then she called her husband
to the side-room and removed the cloth that Gov
cred the dead children After Rabbi Mier had
for few moments given away to his grief, he
rose up and said: ''Now, [ know what you meant
by the borrowed jewels. The Lord gave and
the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the
name of the Lord" And so Rabbi Mier was
conforted. Let this sepulchral light gid all the
graves of your dead May this lamp of the text
be set in all your parlors, in all your streets, in
all your stores in all your churches, in all your
sepulchres Amen

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.
Homeless Children,

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journals:
As much as three years ago I was interested in
the discussion, through your papers and the
social science organization of your city, of the
best way to provide for homeless children, spe-
cially those who. as paupers in the county houses
are public wards. Almost, think, as the direct
result of this discussion, bill was presented to
and passed by your Legislature providing for the
children of each county by authorizing each
board Of commissioners to hire a house or build
''home," and, employing a capable matron.
separate the children from the demoralizing
society of adult county paupers. A few
praiseworthy boards had forecast such action,
and THEN counties had cozy, successfully con
Quoted little houses. A proportion, too small,
have since awaited themselves of the laws pro
vision. Just now, notably, Montgomery county
is maturing her plans for such work, yet not
all, by any means, of the counties of the proud
educational State of Indiana have been awake
to this duty to most pitiable and helpless
class of her citizens. Should not such kind
law be enforced? In Ohio now children are not
permitted to remain in the county infrmaries,
but if the county or district-several counties
Joined in such work-are not provided with such
a home the children are boarded in an inSttu-
ton for children as near by as they may find
until such a house is ready. There is a
further step, to my view, quite as necessary
as that already taken in the case of these State
wards, and that is the providing of proper indi-
vidual homes in families for the children cared
for the necessary time in these county houses,
thus individualizing each one as the John or
Mary of some home circle and not. as must
necessarily be the case. little cog in the cir
Gle of forty or fifty cogs in the diurnal turn Of
the wheel of an institution. Knowing the faith
full work of the matrons in the Indiana homes,
holding them in pleasant personal acquaintance,
most of them, and all in high esteem, l say
what know is their mind, as is the experience
of all workers with children, child should not
be institutionized.
Closing to-day my eighth year of earnest,
happy labor for this very class, 1 speak from

pleasant time, and chapter after chapter of this

Being "a Hoosier born" I eagerly watch
this phase of the States work and betterment,

lieve these houses may be the recruiting posts
of an army of saved, housed and happy little
folks. G. T. GREEN
