May God most high eer watch between us,
Though sundared wide our pathways be;
Nav He who led his chosen people,
Keep watch and ward ;twixt you and me.
When lured by pride and vain ambition,
When worldly joys snare may be,
Nav He who guided ancient Israel
Keep watch and ward 'twixt me and thee.
When sorrows come and shadows deepen,
And dark and dread our ways may be,
May He who watched and shielded Judah
Keep watch and ward 'twixt me and thee.
Mid storm and tempest, clouds and sunshine,
Mid all the changes yet to be,
May He who led his sons from bondage
Keep watch and ward 'twixt me and thee.

Then she looked through the

for she knew that Edith had given
her heart to Arthur Landes two
years before, when her days were
bright and joyous. with not a

a glimpse of sky, smiling and ten
der; a feck of sunshine; a low,
white bed by the window, and a
fair-haired, blue-eyed girl. Alovely
picture it was, but one full of sad
ness, too, for our Edith was Grip
pied for life. She had watched the
bit of blue, with feathery, feecy
clouds scudding by. Somehow it
always made her feel easy-like to
watch the sky when it smiled so.
Then, with sigh, she had taken
one of the lilies from the blue vase
on the window seat and was gaz-
ing into its golden heart, when
Aunt Evelyn came in-dear, good
Aunt Evelyn, with her great heart
overfowing with love and tender
est pity.
"Considering the lilies, dear?"
mot exactly that, auntie. Belle
brought them to me as she went
on to school, and somehow they
keep reminding me of these lines:
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And, aunt1e, [ was wondering
what his plan could be for such a
poor, crippled life as mine"
"No, no, dearie, not crippled
life, but only little, frail, crippled
body. Trust his plan to work out
good for you, my child, and through
this grievous cross your life shall
grow wondrously fair and beautiful.
I hope, Edith, you may be spared
to see this lilly unfold; but if you
never know why it was best, trust
him still, for our Father never
makes mistakes in his dealings
with us.
II know, auntie, and do try to
be patient, but it is, oh, SO hard 20

utterly worthless.
Then auntie knelt by her side
and asked the Good Shepherd to
be very near and bless with all
peace that beloved lamb of his, and

tears dropping one by one on the

Such hard morning it had been
to all of US, despite the balmy air,
blue skies and trilling of bird song.
During all the weary months since
the dreadful accident we had hoped
she would some day be we'll, but
that morning our last hope died
out, when the physician hal said

Edith and I-never once dreaming
of the sore trial awaiting us in the
future, The years had gone by
! like a song, a poem, so full of
beauty and sweetness and happi-
ness they had been to us.
1 was a plain little body, and rad
no especial talent, though father
always said | had a great knack Of
making people comfortable. Edith
was our darling, the very sunshine
of the dear old home; and how |
gloried in her matchless beauty, so
like the golden-haired mother, who
went from us when 1 was eight
years old and our baby only four.
Fifteen years had gone by since
then, and [ had watched the little
yellow-haired girl grow up to
womanhood, gifted and beautiful.
but as sweet and unassuming as
the blue-eyed violets are.
In childhood she had given her
heart to the Savior, and her daily
life was a continual testimony Of
now closely she walked in his foot
steps. God had blessed her with
wonderful talent for music and
art, and these gifts she laid on his
altar, to be used in his service.
Her days were busy, full of calls
from every side for help in this or
that, but never was she too tired
ar hurried to go to her pastors aid.
Sometimes it was to lead the CHOIR
in the home church, TO help in
Sunday school or mission work, or
to visit the sick and bereaved
Many had been the long after
moons spent in the close, stuffy
little mission room. teaching the
neglected little ones OF the ci;y's
lower district, singing song after
song, for the children who, per-
haps, had never heard aught else
than noise and brawl in all their
hard little lives. And bow they
loved her.
Such had been our Edith, 81
ready to go in ways where the
Master would have her go. How
dark and mysterious seemed tn us
the providence that bid the busy
little worker, "Be still"
That sad morning as I sat ON
the steps in the sunshine, unheed-
ing the birds twittering and chirp-
ing among the purple-crowned
lilacs, | kept wondering how Aunt
Evelyn could see even the faintest
light in the dark cloud lowering
over us. And when [ went back
to my sisters side, l found her
wrapped in peace, with never a
shadow IN the sweet, calC eyes, as
she listened to auntie reading that
sweetest of songs: "He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still
waters"
"Trust his leading, dearie, for,
though the way be rugged and
steep and full of thorns, there are
sure to be green pastures and
still waters for the resting of his
weary ones. And, Edith, never
grieve for the work taken from
you, for the Lord wills you to
serve in other ways. Do you know
that here in this room you are do
ing good by just being sweet and
patient?
