n man or a woman in the humblest
walks OF life can live sublime and
thousands OF them do it. Longfellow
says it is sublime to "sutfer and be
strong" [ remember poor bed-rid-
don invalid whose knees were drawn
to his chlI and his fingers to his wrists
and his spinc bent like bow from
chronic rheumatism, but his face was
almost angelic in its sweetness and his
gratitude to God for his goodness was
marvellous. That good mans influence
over the family that gave him food and
shelter and over the neighbors was
sublime. The poor have more oppor-
tunities to show true sublimity of char
actor than the rich. Every man and
woman should begin hero in this life

OF truth, patience, virtue, gratitude
and lovo TO God and man the higher
stand we will take among the saints.

There has been commotion in these

his bride last winter near Sanford, and
being called professionally to visit hcl
