The Vision of Christ
A sERMoNETTE FROM A woMANs PULPIT

sERMoNETTE FROM A woMAN's PULPIT
30 Christ, dear Master, if / could
but see Thee face to face, and fee
the reality of Thy blessed lifeP
prayed,
But at that moment my servant
came to me with a broken cup, much
priced, aud now useless; and after
coldly remarking that she ought to
have had more care; so she went
away, unhappy and unforgiven.
30 Christ, dear Master, il l could
but hear Thy blessed tones speaking
to mel" l prayed yet again e.
But little disturbing voice cried
loudly and sadly at my door for a
broken doll, and l babe the baby go
away and not break in upon my quiet
hour.
10 Christ, dear Master, IL I could
but have token Of Thy personal love
for mep l prayed yet third time. +.
But no voice or vision came to me,
30 1 rose from my praying, and went
about the house. My servant sang
not as usual over her work. nor did
she greet me as l passed; and there,
in corner, asleep with the recent
tears on the little pale cheek, lay the
child and her broken doll, and her
first great grief.
And somewhere in my heart voice
spoke out clear, so that 1 could not
choose but hear: Forever, and fore
ever, |, the Christ, am that which
asks for love and compassion. There
asked for both from thee, and thou
gavest not. Thou shouldst have look
ed for Me in them, and they would
then have found Me in thee. Thou
Canst not find Me until thou art able
to lose myself in love and compassion.
If thou wouldst know Me, thou must
be Me-"
So | picked up the baby and her
broken doll, and spoke words of ten
der good cheer to my servant, and ed
them both out into the sweet garden
and the afternoon sunshine, to gather
flowers aud fruit; till, BY and by, the
air was full of laughter, and smiles
were on all our faces.
Oh, then l knew that behind our
smiles was the face Of Christ, and in
our happy tones His voice
For CHRIST is the love that redeems,
and the compassion that heals, and
the unselfshness that brings joy, and
makes man happy even as God is hap.

How Women Treat Women.

A woman reporter represented the
New York San at the celebration held
by women in honor of the birthday Of
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Let her tell
her own story of her experience:
ut is all very well for Mrs. Stan
ton, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Dickinson, and
the rest OF the new women to preach
about women's rights but there is such
a thing as practice. Charity should
begin at home, and the women who
assort the equality Of the sexes should
indorse their assertions by their acts.
That they do not is common ex-
perience. Here is recent example
The women reporters who attended
Mrs. Stanton's birthday celebration
received much less consideration that
the men reporters. Yet the affair was
entirely in the hands Of women
women who declare themselves to be
the champions of their sex, and who
met to commemorate the progress of
their kind. The first reporter who
reached the Metropolitan Opera
House last evening was a woman. She
found that no provision had been made
fo- her and she soon learned that she
must look for neither consideration
nor courtesy. After fruitless inter-
views with several of the management
she was relegated to a far corner in a
distant gallery, where almost nothing
could be seen and still less heard.
The usher, too, Hospitality assured
her that she would shortly be turned
out Of her seat, as the house was sold
from pit to dome, which statement
proved to be untrue. There was one
portion of the stage, however, that
could be plainly seen, even from this
distant seat. 1t was the spot where
the men reporters, who presently ap.
peared upon the scene, were made
welcome 1t was really interesting
for the woman reporter to view the
grace and cordiality that the manage
ment showed toward her masculine
confreres. Comfortable chairs and
tables and the best point of view were
at once provided them, They bad
every comfort and convenience, every
courtesy shown them. The women
speakers futtered about in pretty sg-
itatIon as they reluctantly yielded up
typewriter copies Of the extempor-
aneous address they were shortly to
deliver. The woman reported finally
went down upon the stage herself,
but no such reception awaited her
A char was grudgingly given her,
but she was practically ignored by the
women whose lives, according to their
own accounts, have been consecrated
to righting the wronges of their sex
If it hadn't been for one of the men
reporters the woman reporter wouldn't
have had even a programme. The
thing was significant as being an open
acknowledgement on the part of the
self-called pioneers that men are SUI
perlor to women, and that it pays to
make concessions to them. 1t was,
thus, policy, but it was not honest, and
there is an old and honored principle
Of conduct that honesty is the best
policy"

There is no medicine SO often needed in
every home and SO admirably adapted to
the purposes for which it is intended, as
Chamberain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch Of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The
severe pain of burn or soald promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to be sent
for. sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets In, which in
sures cure in about one-third of the
time otherwise required. Cuts and bruis-
es should receive Immediate treatment
before the parts become swollen. which
can only be done when Pain Balm in kept
at hand. A sore throat may be cured be-
fore 1t becomes serious. A troublesome
corn may be removed by applying it

back may be cured and several days Of
valuable time saved OF a pain in side or

Duck Pond.
OuCA oHus
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
Comparatively little evidently is known
in Portland by pleasure seeking people,
of Duck Pond. This gem of a lake occu-
pies area in three towns. portion OF the
south end is in Westbrook, the west side
in Windham, while the larger proportion
on the east side is embraced in the town
of Falmouth. The length of this body of
water is three miles. the width from one
fourth to one half mile, and it measures
from twenty to sixty or seventy feet in
depth. Having just been stocked with
salmon trout it will in few years be-
come sportsman's paradise. " Did
Portland people more fully realize the
beauty and attractiveness of this lake and
it's surroundings without doubt they
would UNANIMOUSLY petition the Electric
Railroad Co. to extend their line not only
to Pride's Bridge but also to Duck Pond
and thus open up and make accessible to
Portland and Deering people a most de-
lightful resort. AS this lake is located on
the direct line of travel from Windham
and many towns beyond to Portland a
large business is assured the trolly line
not only in summer but all the year
round. @. e. B.
