Now. compare some of these gOings out

" years ago that in comparatively
small apartment of the city newly mar
Red pair set up a home. The first guest
invited to that residence was the Lord
Jesus Christ and the Bible given the
bride on the day of her espOusal was the
guide of that household. Days of sun
shine were followed by days of shadow.
Did you ever know home that for nifty
years had no Vicissitude? The young wo-
man who left her fathers house for her
young husbands home started out with
a parental benediction and good advice
she will never forget. Her mother said
to her the day before the marriage

come to us at any time. But your home
will be elsewhere. From long experience

may think you can get along without re-

will want God, and my advice is estab-
fish a family altar, and, If need be, con-

was taken, and that young wiIe eonSe-

Years passed on and there were in that
home hilarities, but they were good and
healthful; and sorrows, but they were
comforted. Marriages rs bright as orange
blossoms could make them, and burals N

a family lot in the cemetery, but all the
place is illuminated with stories of resur-
rectiOn and reunion. The children of the
household that lived have grown up and
they are all Christians, the father and
mother leading the way and the children
following What care the mother took of
wardrobe and education, character and
manners! How hard she sometimes
workedl When the head of the household
was unfortunate in business she sewed
until her fingers were numb and bleeding
at the tips. And what close calculation of
economies and what ingenuity in refitting
the garments of the elder children for the
younger and only God kept account of
the mothers sideaches and headaches and
heartaches and the tremulous prayers by
the side of the sick child's cradle and by
the couch of this one fully grown. The

looked and old acquaintances hardly
knew her in the street. But without COM

and accomplished all these years. The
children are out in the world-an honor to

awhile the mothers last sickness comes.
Children and grandchildren. summoned
from afar, come softly into the room one

fingers lovingly through their hair and
tells them not to cry, and that she is go

little while in a better world and then
kisses them goodbye and says to each,
God bless and keep you. my dear child"
The day of the obsequies comes, and the
officiating clergyman tells the story of
wifely and motherly endurance, and many
hearts on earth and in heaven echo the
sentiment, and as she is carried off the
stage Of this mortal life there are cries Of
