Rocky MOUNTAINS,

were travelling through Kansas and saw
nothing very new or different from my
last summers trip. Whe struck the Col

nothing but cattle ranches and low stone
houses, At breakfast we began ascend
ing, seeing the plains covered with sage
brush and low evergreens-and finally
the snow-capped peaks began to appear.
Here and there we would get a glimpse
of them, then finally whole large peak
came in full view, disappearing in the
distance in smaller peaks and fainter out
lines. Oh, how grand they look! At
noon we began ascending the Rocky
Mountains. and now are S,754 feet above

stood, and he explained it all to us. Some
of the party said the grade ran up $50
feet to the mile. The train divided until
we reached the highest point, and now at
five o'clock we are flying through New
Mexico, no longer between the mountain
peaks, but over plains which widen and
the peaks grow fainter at every few
turns. The blue and silver pointed peaks
appear to us, and one of them, the highest
of all, had white cloud hanging over
the top. Grand is no name; it made such
an impression on us that we could but
gaze with admiration and awe and utter
exclamations. while in view. All through
the Rockies we met with Mexicans, black
and dirty, driving donkeys, their little
gray backs loaded with wood-the houses
made of adobe-and an old church with
no windows-services held there once a
year, lasting week. 1 did not learn the de-
nomination. We sat out all the after
noon without wraps-the air was so light
we did not feel the cold-although the
ground was partially covered with snow.

burr oak, a species of pine-looked odd
to see the green cropping out of the snow.
The cattle here are small and look consid- |
erably weather-beaten. The sky is just |
as blue as it can be. Our party is such a
pleasant one, that one could not help en- /
joying it. This combined with new
scenes makes it the more enjoyable. We

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into
the coasts Of Tyre and Sidon.
% And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out
of the same coasts and cried unto him, saying,
Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is
grievously vixed wi tn a devil.
% But he answered her not word. And his
disciples came and besought him, saying, Send
her away; for she crieth after us.
"a But he answered AMI said, am not sent

Lord, help me.

This lesson deals with time when the
Savior was in the hight of his popularity
as teacher. The world rushed after
him, however, when in great temporal
need, with more of desire for remedy
for the ailments of earth, than for the
great spiritual food he dispensed. Amid
all his popularity, and all the elamor
made after him, it is remarkable fact in
the life of this man-viewed as a man
that he went aside, to himself, to COM
mune with the father. He held
within his great parsonage that re-
serve force of love and trust that found
no expression in outward show, and
which the world was not prepared to un-
derstand.
His acts of mercy and charity were
performed with the least possible cere-
mony. A simple word, gentle touch
when these were necessary to carrying
out the Divine direction-were all that
were used. A simple, modest, perfect
life What grand inspiration and mod
ell for the Christian student!
