Under Water.
The freshets of the past week have
done serious damage in New England,
the eastern part of Massachusetts be-
ing the greatest sufferer. In ROxbury
buildings undermined by the water
have been declared unsafe. People
we're ferried about the streets of the
city on RATS. Taunton, Maiden, Ha-
verhill have also suffered terribly from
floods, and Norwich, CT, and the little
manufacturing places around her have
had their serious experience. From
Rhode Island comes the same story of
devastation and rnin-railrOads sub
merged, bridges gone and travel sus-
pended. Many poor people will be
made to suffer. Vermont has reported
no damage and Western Massachusetts
has been spared any serious injury or
Inconvenience from the excess of water.
The loss in other parts of New Eng
land must, however, aggregate over a
million dollars.

Do not let yourself follow your de-
sires too eagerly, even for good. What
| most desire for you is a certain calm
ness, which comes from recollection,
detachment and love of God. Occupy
yourself rs little as possible about ex-
ternal matters. Give at proper sea-
sons a quiet, calm attention to all
things assigned to your care by PrOvi-
dence leave the rest. We do much
more by quiet, tranquil labor in the
presence of God than by the greatest
eagerness and Over-activity of rest
less nature.

applause, and yet maintaining the
most perfect order throughout. We

PEACHAM,

Rev. Ada G.. BOwles of Arlington
Mass, gave the third lecture of the
Peacham w. G.. T. U. course on Mon
day evening, Feb. 8. Her subject
"WOman and Temperance" Mrs
BOwles being stranger to all, many
fears were felt lest the lecture should
not be in accord with the spirit of the
remarkable revival now in progress
here. We are happy to say such fears
were grOundless. She takes her stand
npon Bible foundations and told some
truths which we could wish were not
truths. But that does not make them
false. She left with the hearty God
speed OF ministers and people.

raised before the first of March i'm or

In order to get this amount
the committee respectfully invite all
friends of the school or of education to
help them.

Gods viii.

Many people think Of the petition
Thy will be done" as coming into
their prayers and lives only when they
have troubles or losses. They think
of Gods will chiefly as entering their
homes and taking away their children,
or as stripping them of their property,
or as laying them on sick beds and
causing them pain, or in some way
hurting them and making life hard
for them. This is very wrong and
inadequate conception of the Divine
will. The will Of God sends US each
day to our daily tasks, allots our work
for us, commissions us to all manner
of service, and leads US into all pure
Joys and tender delights. 1t is only
now and then that it means pain or
loss to us; and even then pain or loss
is but an incident :, in the path whose
end is blessing and kindness. We
sadly misunderstood and misrepresent
Gods will when we think or speak Of
it as always, or as usually, causing us
pain and grief Gods will is love, and
he who yields his life to 1t will find
himself ever walking toward the light,
and toward the blessedness of Heaven.
