who had trouble, and oncs in awhile
was strong enough to make a garment

i was the mother who raised whole
family of children for God, and they
are out in the world, Christian mer-
chants, Christian mechanics Christian
wives, and | have had full reward
OF my toll. Let us pass on in the
circle of thrones. Il had a Sabbath
school class and they were always on
my heart, and they all entered the
Kingdom of God, and l am waiting for
their arrival"
But who art thou, the mighty one Of
Heaven on this other throne? In
time of bitter persecution | owned a
house in Damascus, a house on the
wall A man who preached Christ was
bounded from street to street, and |
hid him from the assassins and when
l found them breaking in my house
and could no longer keep him safely,

your all. A Cunarder put out from
England for New York. 1t was well
but in putting up a stove in
the pilot box a nail was driven too
near the compass. You know how the
nail would affect the compass. The
ships officer deceived by that dis
tracted compass put the ship two
hundred miles off her right course and
the man ON the lookout cried,
Land, ho!' and the ship was halted
within few yards Of her demolition
on Nantucket shoals. A six-penny nail
came near wreeking a Cunarder. Small
ropes hold mighty destinies.
A minister seated in Boston at his |
IA BILE, lacking a word put his hands
behind his head and tits back his |
chair to think, and the ceiling falls
