tably brilliant audience ringing in her
ears. she feels that she has accomplished
the very highest and noblest in her art
which it is possible for her to attain. and
has personally realized her vefy highest
ideal of tnar art: when, in short. she is
thoroughly satisfied with her performance
and feels that she fully merits the al
pause which tells her that her critics in
front are more than satisfied with her.
At s1ch moment the soul of such an
actress as | have decribed-a true artist
after its first thrill of exultation, seems
hushed into an i1effable JOY and peace,
impossible 20 be measured or understood.
In such moment it seems as though Il e
rose of time and the bloss oms of the ages
were hers. The happiness of the true
dramatic artist at such time is of an

The founder of the Kings Daughters
says conservation to the Great King. No
order has ever been formed IN the whole
history OF orders since such things first
began TO be, that has spread so rapidly and
has commanded such universal respect
and admiration as that of the Kings
Daughters. which in a wonderfully short
space of time has spread almost all over
the Christian universe. The founder of
this order was Mrs. Margaret Bottome.
and she originally organized it with
small circle of ten members. That circle
has given rise to many thousand others,
and has been the means OF binding to-
gether to do Christian work the Christian
women of our own and other lands as
they have never been bound before
The little slve. cross which is the en-
blem OF the Kings Daughters has shed
its influence upon count ess darkened
lives and in countless gloomy places,
and has done more to make the Christian
religion generally known and loved than
all the wars of the Crusaders or the con-
quests of heathen countries by Spanish
adventures. The sweet and beautiful
lady who founded this noble order and
who has thus done more than any other
woman of the centuries to promote those
blessed practical works of Christianity,
without which, the apostle tells us, its
faith is dead, thinks that in conservation
to the Great King, woman must find
her best and truest happiness.
There can be no happier time in the
life of woman than that on which she
first consecrates herself wholly and COM
pletey to God and 70 His service. The
time when she first realiZes-that is, ac-
tually feels and not merely says or reads
those words Of Paul For L am per-
suaded that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor principalities, nor
powers, neither things present nor
| things to come, neither height nor depth,
nor any other created thing shall be able
| to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
''To love God with all our hearts and
to do with all our might whatever of His
work we can find to do, and to realize
as far as it is possible for our poor finite
minds to reaize-the infinite love that
God has tor us is the greatest of all hap
| piness. Many good women fail to reali {
tnat God does love them. We must thor
oughly grasp the great fact tnat God
| loves us, no matter how wicked we may
be. We can make our happines, or I'M
happiness as we so through life. and il
we are always busy doing the work of OF
King and trying to make others happy.
we shall never have time to be unhappy
ourselves. no matter how full of trouble
and sorrow our life may be. We shall
then be like an elderly couple who. de
spite hasty marriage in early youth,
lived very happily together fer many
years, and when some one reminded
them of the proverb Marry in haste and
repent at leisure. the husband replied
Jennie and | have always been so bus,
that we have never had leist re to repent )
