thing to do with love and Felix Briar-
field. Leaving the matter alone for a
few moments, l secured a stall and en-

Strent was Rose Gernon, and had seen
her play the part of waiting maid at
the Fen inn on the 10th of June, that
fatal night of the murder.

When I told Dr. Merrick of my good
fortune in finding Rose Strent, or, to
use her stage name, Rose Gernon, he
was considerably astonished The case

that he could think of nothing else. He
had large practice and attended fairly
well to his patients, but informed me
| THAT he did so III Il mechanical fashion,
more or less, as his brain was busy
with the Fen inn mystery. We We're
now wonderfully familiar, considering
the short period of our acquaintance,

Insurance on Souls.

There are those who take out in
surance policies as a security against
the uncertainties of life but who think
but little about securing themselves
against the uncertainty Of life In
higher sense. They take out no policy
of insurance tor their souls. Such con-
duct is indeed strange. The insur-
ance which of all things we need is
that of which the apostle speaks when
he says: "For we know that II our
earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved we have a building of God, q
house not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens" And again he says,
II know whom I have believed, and
am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which I have committed unto
him against that day." Insured
against all uncertainty! However
short and uncertain life might be, he
had nothing to fear.
AS it seems to us, every payment on
al insurance policy ought to be O SER
mon to the holder on the text, Pre-
pare to meet thy God" Every time
he looks a. it, the question would arise,
it seems: What will be my condition
when this thing shall be presented for
payment? Here is an insurance policy
for this world but what about the next.
There are those who plan for the fu-
ture of their own lives and for the fu-
ture of their friends after they are
dead, but who make no plans for
themselves after death. How foolish
is much of the wisdom of this world I!

Rest I'm the Lord.

1.-THE wicked are like the troubled
yea, which cannot rest" Tossed and
beaten by storms of passion, restless
as the heaving tides, Gods peace is
unk nown to them. They have no in
ward rest, aud they have no resting
place where their soul can find refuge.
Like Noah's dove, they "tiit between
rough seas and stormy Skies" To
mortals thus laboring and heavy laden
Christ sends the gracious invitation {:
"Come unto me, and I will give you
rest, Take my yoke upon you and
learn of me, and ye shall find rest to
your souls"
The restless cannot rest, wherever
they are and the faint and weary fail
to rest because they have no resting
place. Christ gives an inward rest, a
rest to the soul and he also affords a
resting-place where heart and flesh
may find repose. Rest in the Lord
Rest In his love, which satisfies the
deepest yearnings of the human
heart; rest In bis care which watches
over the lowliest and notes the spar
rows fall; rest in his providence,
which never fails and which Is over all
his works rest in his promises,
which are exceeding great and pre-
