"What a noble. wfely ambition, the deter

not drive him there. You cannot nag him
there: but you can coax him there. That is
Gcd's plan. He coaxes us all the way--coaxes
us out OF our sins, cOaXes us to accent pardon,

Sixteen miles from Petersburg, Russia, was
one of the royal palaces, and there one night
Catherine, the empress, entertained Prince
Henry. 1t was a severe winter and deep SNOW,
and the empress and the prince rode in mag
nitiCence OF sleigh and robe and canopy never
surpassed, followed by two thousand sleighs
laden with the first people of Russia 1.-THE whole
length of the distance llumined by lamps and
dazzling temples built for that one night, and
limitations OF mosques and Egyptian pyramids;
and people of all nations, in all styles of cos
tune standing on platforms along the way and
watching the blaze OF the pyrotechnics At
the palace the luxuries of kingdoms were
gathered and spread, and at the tables the
guests had but 10 touch the center Of a plate,
and by magical machinery it dropped
and another plate came up, loaded with still
richer viands. But all of that
scene of the long ago shall

emily King for those consecrated women who
come in out of the winter and snowy chill of
their earthly existence into the warm and
ilumined palaces of heaven. With the King
himself and all the potentatcs, yourself robed
and crowned you will sit at a table compared
with which all the feasts at Wentworth and

at the center, shall disappear only to make
room for the coming up of some richer and
grauder regalement.
