Of socks may make homely load 10 carry,
but the angels Of God will come out to

his messenger hosts a charge, saying:
"Look after that woman. Canopy her

house of destitutlpn and suffering the lit

"Who rs shef Amt she beautifulY" and II
you listen right sharply you will hear
dripping down the leaky roof and rolling
over the rotten stairs che angel chant that

highest and on earth peace, good will tc
men," Can you tell me why Christian
woman, going down among the haunts of
iniquity on Christian errand, never meets
with any indignityP l stood in the chapel
Of Helen Chalmers the. daughter Of the
celebrated DR.. Chalmers, In the most aban-
doned part OF the city of Edinburgh, and
said TO her as looked around upon the
fearful surroundings of that place, do
you come here nights to hold scrvice"
"Oh, yes" she said. "Can it be possible
that you never meet with an insult while
performing this Christian errand?"
"Neyer," she said. "Never."
That young woman who has her father
by her side walking down the street, an
armed policeman at each corner of the
street, is not SO well defended as that
Christian who goes forth on gospel work
into the haunts'of iniquity, carrying the
Bibles and bread. God, with the right
arm of his wrath omnipotent, would tear
to pieces any one who should offer indig-
nifty. He would smite him with light
nings, and drown him with floods, and
swallow him with earthquakes, and damn
him with eternal indignations. Some one
said: 81 dislike very much to see that
Christian woman teaching these bad bows
in the mission school. l am afraid to have
her instruct them" $50, said another
man, 81 am afraid too" Said the first,
"I am afraid they will use vile language
before they lcave the place" "Ah, said
the other man, 81 am not afraid Of that.
| What 1 am afraid of is that if any of those
boys should use bad word in that pres
ence the other boys would tear him to
pieces and kill him on the spot. That
woman is the best sheltered who is shell
tered by omnipotence, 'snd it is always
safe to go where God tells you to 60 II
seems as if the Lord had ordained woman
for an especial work in the solicitation OF
charities Backed up by barrels in which
there is no flour, and by stoves in which
there is no fire, and wardrobes in which
there are no clothes, woman is irresisti
BILE. Passing on her errand God says to
her, "You go into that bank or store OF
shop and get the money" She goes IL
and gets it. The man is hard listed, but
she gets it. She could not help but get it
! It is decreed from eternity she should gel
it. No need Of your turning your bach
and pretending you don't hear. You dt
hear. There is no need of your saying yot
are begged to death. There is no need o.
your wasting your time, and you might q.
we'll submit first as last. You had bette
right away take down your checkbook
mark the number of the check, fill up th'
blank, sign your name and hand it to her
There is no need of wasting time. Thost
poor children on the back street have beel
hungry long enough. That sick man mus
have some farina. That consumptive mus
have something to ease his cough. NEE
this delegate of relief society coming on
Of the store of such hard listed man, ant
say, Ibid you get the money!" 30
course, she says, II got the money; that
what went for. The Lord told me to g
in and get it, and he never sends me on
