AT EVENING TINE.

on the grass and swinging in the ham
mocks discussed the various exercises
of the day.
In front of them was the beautiful
lake, dotted with white sails. Pretty
red and green rowboats were gliding
about on the golden water, while above
them the oak. poplar and maple trees
whispered together rs if in sympathy
with the lovc-story that was being
lived beneath their branches.
He, Lawrence Gray,th grave young
minister, reclined on the grass a little
below her. She, sweet Hazel Dhu, sat
on Il gray rock which protruhed from
the bank just far enough to form a
seat for one.
is there no other solution to our
~dificulty?' Lawrence asked, in his
low voice, looking up Mt her with his
rare smile, in which there was q touch
of sadness.
81 see none unless one of us iorsakes
a duty" Hazel answered. ~ cannot
leave father and mother in their pres
ent enfeebled condition, and you must
not give up your work for me-"
~ would sacrifice anything else in
the world to be near you except Gods
call" Lawrence said, reverenlly; "but
gave myself to the missionary work
before knew you"
II know it, but He who marked out
our lives for us knew that we should
love each other. and He would not ask
us 10 sacrifice our happiness for His
work, unless il were best for us both"
responded Hazel, with the glow of self
sacrifice in her face.
ooh, yes, il must be for the best"
assentcd Lawrence. and then there
was Il silence between the,l orawhile.
The sun in the west sunk lower and
lower. The gold of the water changed
to crimson and then TO purple. Tho
groups of strollers behind them began
turning their steps toward the great
tabernacle, where the evening lecture
was to be; the sailboais anchored near
the shore with their sails furled for the
night; the shadows thickened under
the trees and the lights began to come
out in the little city across the lake.
ave may not have to wait so very
long" remarked Hazel, at last; IF
anything should happen to free me
from my obligation, you know, l could
come to you at any time"
