when man has devoured widows houses. he
Is disturbed with indigestioni All the forces
Oh nature are against him. The floods are
ready to drown him, and the earthquake TO
swallow him, and the fires to consume him,
and the hghtnings to smite him. But
the children of God are on every
street. and in the day when the
crowns of heaven are distributed,
some of the brightest viii be given to those
men who were faithful to God and faithful
ness, proving themselves the heroes OF the
street. Mighty were their temptations.
mighty was their deliverance, and mighty
shall be their triumph
Again, the street impresses me with the
fact that life is full of pretensions and sham.
What subterfuge what double dealing, what
twofacednessl Do all the people who wish
you good morning really hope for you a
happy day. Do all the people who shake
hands love each others Are all those
anxious about your health who inquire con-
corning it? 10 all want to see you who ask
you to calls Does all the world know half
as much as it pretends to know? LIS

to your business and your work, are you not
impressed with the fact that much of society
is hollow, and that there are subterfuges and
pretensions. OH how many there are who
swagger and strut and how few people are
natural and walk. While fops shipper, and
fools chuckle, and simpletons giggle, how few
people are natural and laugh. The courte-
san and the libertinc go down the
street in beautiful apparel while with
in the heart there are volcanoes OF pas
sion consuming their life away. say
these things not to create in you incredulity
and misanthropy. nor do | forget there are
thousands of people great deal better than

prepared for the conflict of this life until he
knows this particular peril. Ehud comes pre-
tending to pay his tax to King Eglon, and
while he stands in front of the King, stabs
him through with dagger until the haft
went in after the blade. Judas lscar1ot
kissed Christ.
Again, the street impresses me with the
fact that il is a great field for Christian
charity. There are hunger and suffering, and
want and wrechedness in the country; but
these evils chiefly congregate in our great
cities. On every street crime prowls, and
drunkenness staggers, and shame winks, and
pauperism thrusts out its hand asking Tor aims
Here want is most squalid and hunger is most
