10 years ago, nothing to do with these
things? I see the Towering out Of her noble
heart. / hear the echo of her footsteps in
all the songs over sins forgiven, in all the
prosperity Of the church. The good that
seemed to be buried has come up again.
Dorcas is resurrected.
After a while all these womanly friends
of Christ will put down their needle forever
After making garments for Others, some one
will make garment for them; the last robe
we ever wear-the robe for the grave. You
will have heard the last cry of pain. You
will have witnessed the last orphanage. You
will have come IN worn out from your last
round of mercy. do not know where you
will sleep, nor what your epitaph will be;
but there will be q lamp burning at that
tomb and an angel of God guarding it, and
through all the long night no rude foot will
disturb the dust Sleep on, sleep onl Soft
bed, pleasant shadows, undisrurbed reposel
Sleep on!
Asleep in Jesusl Blessed sleepl
From which none ever wake to weep.
Then one day there will be a sky rending,
and q whirl of wheels, and the fash of
pageant; armies marching, chains clanking,
banners waving, thunders booming, and
that Christian woman will arise from the
dust, and she will be suddenly surrounded

whom she had reclaimed, surrounded by the
wounded souls to whom she had admins
tered! Daughter of God, SO strangely sur
rounded, what means this? 1t means that
reward has come, that the victory is won,
that the crown is.ready, that the banquet is
spread. Shout it through all the crumbling
earth. Sing it through all the flying heav-
ems. Dorcas is resurrectedl
A CRIMEAN INCIDENT.
In 1855, when some of the soldiers came.
back from the Crimean war to London, the
Queen of England distributed among them
beautiful medals, called Crimean medals.
Galleries were erected for the two houses of
Parliament and the royal family to sit in.
There was great audience to witness the
distribution of the medals. A Colonel who
had lost both feet in the battle of Inkerman
was pulled in on a wheel chair; others came
in hmping on their crutches. Then the
Queen of England arose before them in the
name of her Government, and uttered words
of commendation to the officers and men,
and distributed these medals, inscribed
with the four great battlefelds, Alma, Bal
aklava, Inkerman and SebastopoL. AS the
Queen gave these to the wounded men and
the wounded officers, the bands of music
struck up the national air, and the people
with streaming eyes Joined in the song:
God save our gracious queen!
Longlive our noble queeni
God save the queenl
And then they shouted "Huzzal huzzaw
Oh, it was proud day for those returned
warriors! But brighter, better and glad
der day will come when Christ shall gather
those who have toiled in His service, good
soldiers of Jesus Christ. He shall rise be-
fore them, and in the presence of all the
glorifed of heaven He will say: swell
done, good and faithful servanti" and then
He will distribute the medals of eternal vic
tory, not inscribed with works of righteous
ness which we have done, but with those
four great battlefelds, dear to earth and
dear to heaven, Bethlehem! Nazareth! Geth-
semane! Calvary
