APPRECIATION
in the souls of others in regard to your
household tolls, let me assure you from
the kindliness with which Jesus CGrist met
Martha, that he appreciate, all your work
from sarret to cellar; and that the God OF
Deborah, and Hannah, and Abigail, and
grandmother Lois, and Elizabeth Fry and
Hannah Moore is the God of the house
keeper. Jesus was never married that He
might be the especial friend and con6dsnte
of a. whole world Of troubled womanhoo1. l
blunder; Christ was married. The Bible
says that the Church is the Lambs wife,
and that makes me know that all Chris.
tisn women have right to go to Christ
and tell Him of their annoyances and
troubles, since by His oath Of coniugsl fl
deity He is sworn to sympathize. George
Herbert, the Christian poet, wrote two or
three verses on this subject:
The SgrvanE OF tlls clause

Makes TINS and the action ine."

THE TRIAL OF sEyERE ECONOMY.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine households
cut of the thousand are subjected to it
some under more, and some under less
stress Of circumstances. Especially if
man smoke very expensive cigars, and
take very costly dinne7s at the restaurants
he will be severe in demanding domestic
economies. This is what kills tens Of
thousands OF women-attempting to make
five dollars do the work of seven. How
the bills come in The woman is the
banker of the household; she is the presi-
dent, the cashier, the teller, the discount
clerk; and there is panic every few weeks T!
This thirty years war against high prices
this perpetual study Of economies, this
lifelong attempt to keep the outgoes less
than the income. exhausts millions Of
housekeepers. OF my sister, this is part
of the Divine discipline. If it were beat
for you, ell you would have TO do would
be to open the front windows and the
ravens would fly in with food; aud after
you had baked Fifty times from the barrel
in the pantry, the barrel like the one OF
Zarepatb, would be full; and the shoes Of
the Israelites in the wilderneas-fcrty
years. Besides that, this is going to make
heaven the more attractive in the contrast

ly there will be none Of the nuisancea Of
catering Tor sppetitas, And in the lsnd O.
the white robs they never have to naond
anything, and the air in that hill'country
makes everybody well. There are no rents
to pay; every man owns his own house and o
mansion at that. 1t will not be so great

if YOU have been liz tue habit @. riding in

change for yeu 10 sit down on the banks
of the river of life, if in this world you had

with tired feet in this world wha: a glorious
change to mount celestial equip9ge; and If
your life on earth was domestic martyr

you shall have nothing to do except what
you choose to Do. Martha has had no
