HuEsu intelligence is as yet too immature

the highest exercise Of the spirit OF man.
AS solid foundations for faith we have ev-
ideuce ia these scriptures Of the great
facts ola Fathers providence and OF he-
deemer's grace. These are the two KEY
thoughts OF the Bible. Divine providence
is universal, 'Rffliction comes not forth OF
the dust, neikber doth trouble spring out OF
the ground
'sFhe believers sorrows are not accl-
dents. They are nOtjudgments. They are
chastenings permitted IN wisdom and KIND

well as over life. \ So to-day IN TINS De,

Christian resignation\s not mere enforced

''THE HEART OF HER HUSBAND

was in the larger relationship OF her latter

| Ger her as the genial friend, the hoSpitable

showed itself not in empty professions but
In good deeds which she did; in helpful,

dreu ia the instruction Of the Sunday
school, in the cause OF the orphans of our
community and in the various causes of
charitable and missionary work 10 which
she lent helping hand and warm heart.
She never seemed 10 tire In her varied
thoughtful service for the comfort and
happ ness Of others
"\Ebo OF US who has had the privilege Of
knowing her, but could bear witness to the
unfaiGug courage, the sunny temperament,
the kiudliness Of spirit which she carried
through all these years Of Joy and Of sOr-
row Of struggle and if triumph; who OF US
would not testify TO the times when her
word or example or good cheer have been
as a gleam OF sunshine. She had the su-
preme gift Of kindly sympathy,
one OF GODS CHOICEST GIFTS,
sympathy. of which great author truly
saws that it is the one poor word which in
cludes an our best insight and our best
love-
Endowed with rare self-pOssession and
Judgment she went from US 70 meet the ex-
acting duties of exalted station with pur-
