main. Eschyus wrote one hundred
dramas; only seven remain Euripdes
wrote over a hundred; only nineteen re-
main. Varro wrote the biographies Of
over seven hundred great Romans. All
that wealth of biography has persisted.
If good and valuable books have such
struggle to live, what must be the fate of
those that are diseased and corrupt and
blasted Mt the very start. They will die as
the frogs when the Lord turned back the
plague. The work of Contamination will
20 on until there will be nothing left but
good books, and they will take the SUI
premacy of the world. May you and | live
to see the ilustrous day,
FIGHT TIE BAD WITH THE GOOD
Against every bad pamphlet send good
pamphlet; against every unclean picture
send an innocent picture; against every
scurrlous song send Christian song;
against every bad book send Il good book;

Toledo, where the Toletum mi~sals were
kept 10y the saints in six churches, and the

missals be substituted: and the war came

matter having been referred to champions,
the champion of the Toletum missals with
one blow brought down the champion Of
the Roman miSsals.
So it will hr in our day. The good liter

pionship for God and the truth, will bring
down the evil literature in its champion-

Lady Hester StanhOpe WAS the daughter
of the third Earl of SttnhOpc, and after
her nearest friends had died She went to
the far east. took possession of a deserted
convcnt, threw un forth amid the
mountains Of Lebanon, opened the castle
to the poor, and he wretched, and the sick
who would come in. She made her castle
home for the unfortunate. She was Il
devout Christian woman. She was wait
ing for the coming Of the Lord. She rX-
pcctcd hat the Lord would descend in per-
son, and she thought upon it until it was
too much fer her reason In the mngnifi-

horses groomc1 and bridled and sadded
and caparisoncd and all ready for the day
in which her Lord should descend, and he
on one Of them and she on the other should
start for Jerusalem. the city of the Great
King. 1t was a fanaticism and a dclusion;
but there was romance, and there was
splendor, and there was thrilling eypecta-
