now there was no stained-glass win
dow to watch, nor could she ponder
the pew, her frequent occupation

fession of having followed too much

Yet was her mind no more fixed or

dered and saw that a picture hung
slightly askew above +he mantelpieee.
She even made step forward to set
it straight when she noticed the rector
was saying Anna, wilt thou?'' and
her dazed senses caught at the idea of
an admonition. She glanced down
ward, and observed how rosy were the
creases showing through the little tri-
angular gap just above the first but
ton of her glove. Why were all gloves
made so foolishly tight that they dis
torted that portion of the hand, she
wondered? And all the while the
rector was droning on words that she
did not understand.
They knelt, and he, David, this tall,
straight man beside her. seemed to
feel how cold was her hand within it's
glove. since he pressed it tenderly, re-
assuring. ''How good is he!" she
thought. swiftly, and then, looking
upward, saw that the white spray

Sweet Use OF Advarsitx.

The touch of adversely is just as ne
cessary to bring out the best there is in
some men as is the touch of the frost
to reveal the glories of the autumn.
What is more beautiful than tree or
forest flashing with all the colors of the
rainbow. How delightful is drive
with these bouquets of nature lining
the roadside! IL is said these splendors
of the autumn foliage are the sunshine
which the trees have been silently stor-
ing up during the summer when the
sun has been shining upon them. Happy
is the man who, in the sunshine of
prosperity, has enriched his life with
those graces of character which will
SHINE out most beautifully when the
touch of adversityi or sorrow comes!

noise like the rumbling of a cannon in
the distance, and when they bowed their
head to the floor the sound came up as
though it had been made by the fall of
some great weight rather than by the
touch of five thousand heads. In the
front of each worshipper was placed his
shoes, and at the close Of the services
each Alahometan took these in his
hands and walked with them out of the
mosque.
The Mahometan prayers and method
of praying is fixed by the Koran, and
these 5000 men all prayed in the same
way. | noted their actions from the
beginning to the end of each PRAYER.
The person praying must first remove
his shoes and sandals and turn his face
towards Mecca. He must bathe his
hands and feet ard certain other parts
of his person before entering the
mosque, and in the court of this Mosque
of Santa Sophia, there is large aud
beautiful fountain. Entering the
mosque and standing in the right posi-
tion the worshipper begins by putting
his hands to the lobes of his ears and he
then holds them Il little below his girdle.
He then goes through number of pros
trations, reciting certain prayers from
the Koran aS he does so.
If he is n faithful Mahonetan he pravs
five times every day and ne does not
care for his surroundings At the hours
of prayer Mahometaus will begin their
devotions in the midst OF a crowd.
They will stop their business transac-
tions, and whether in The store or in the
field they will drop down on their knees
and pray. / remember entering Il rug
bazaar in Alexandria and calling upon
a gray bearded turbaned Turk while he
was engaged in his devotions. He was
standing on rug in the back of the
store looking towards Mecca and mum
bling the Koran. He must have seen
me as entered with party OF Ameri-
cans, and though he knew / intended 10
buy he paid no attention 10 me. He
continued his kneeling down and rising
up for fully fifteen minutes and / sat
down and waited until he was through.
There were many other rug establish
ments near by, and he must have known
that he stood chance of the loss oil a
sale by not attending 10 me. This made
no difference, however, to him. 1t
would be curious thing to see u mer-
chant in New York or Chicago stop his
sales in the middle OF the day and drop
down on his knees and pray in the pres
ence of his customers.
