heavens are yours, They belong to your
Father, and what belongs to your Father
belongs 10 you.
Then there are great many who suffer
not only In the priyatlon OF their taste, but
a the apprehenslons and oppressive sur
oundings of life, that were we'll described
by an English writer. He said

books, and yet 10 bo doomed 10 ignorance.

when very weary and work when the heart
IL sick and the head Ia sore. To zoe wife
or darling child wasting away and not 10
be able 10 get the best advice, To hope
that the better food or purer air might sol
her up again, but that food you, cannot
buy, that air You must never hope TO
breathe. To be obliged 10 lot her die. To
come homo from the daily task some even
ing and see her sinking. To sit up all
night N hope to catch again those precious
words You might have heard could you
have afforded TO stay At home all day,
but never hear them. To have no mourn
ers at the funeral, and even TO have TO
carry on your own shoulder through
the merry streets tho light deal coffin, To
! see huddled into promisouous hole the dust
| which is 80 dear 10 you, and not venture TO

costly spring TO barter for food the clock,

' encouragement is that one Of the greatest
safeguards against evil is plenty 10 do.
When men sin against the laws Of their
country where do the police detectives 20
, 10 find them2 Not amid the dust OF faoto-

their hands in their pockets around tho
doors Of saloons and restaurants and

Another encouragement is the fact that
