On Monday last three friends and
myself called ON Mrs. Mary 81. Lam
ming, No. 1912 Orange street, who had
been . sufferer for about ten months,
and found her much concerned about her
spiritual welfare. We talked with her
and encouraged her TO trust fully In
Jesus for the forgivina OF al her sins,
and sang hymns TO comfort aud en-
courage her 70 believe In Christ as her
saviour. And while singing the beau
tiful little hymn entitled, -" Joy com eth
in the morning." she gave herself fully
to Jesus by faith, and the happy result
was beautiful conversion. Oh, how
quickly that troubled countenaDc
beamed with Joy, and the saddentd
heart with rejoicing, by singing no sweet.
lily, I'm Redeemed, Washed Through
the Blood of the Lamb" Although
very weak, she sang often the sweet
songs of redeeming love.
Her heart seemed to be so filled with
| Joy and glad ness that she could scarce
ly keep from singing through the Gay
and nights, and her last whisper in hei
mothers ear was, / am still trusting
In Jesus" and thus she fell sweetly
asleep, trusting her life 10 Jesus' keeT.

ton, when she will be found among hi
jewels to dwell with Him forever, and
sing the songs Of redeeming love.

Goods are the great feature
of a large ry-Goods house.
To do the trade well de-
mands the subtle sense and
touch of the artist, and the
scientific skill of the mer-
chant. We have sought as
best we might to catch both.
We have all along kept aloof
from sensation, and simply
brought forward the stuffs.
The styles and prices have
sold them. Day by day new
things piled into the stock
almost in avalanche proper
tons and melted away again
like Spring-time snow. Two
simple causes produced this
result
First. Our low prices.
Second. Our large stock
displayed in enlarged space.
| The large increase in our
sales quite naturally alarms
some dealers. We review
1.-THE record and are satisfied,
But we GO on just the

At the light profits which the

must be the lowest, no
