don't you remember what the anger gel ha 40
the gray dawn of the first resurrection
day: "He is not here BE is risen,as HE
said; 20 your way, tell his disciples ana
Peter that he goeth before you INTO Cal
lice. There shall ye see Him. LO, L
have told you" They were row going
into Galilee to find the risen Jesus, but
they needed a little further command.
They did not know the exact mountain
appointed for the meeting; they did not
know the exact time. They waited Tor
further word.
While waiting, though, they were not
entirely idle. Peter, VINO on most coca
sions seemed to be doing the right thipg
at the wrong time or the wrong Ghlng at
the right time, on this occasion plainly

ryupN,,,r Mo MANI ANRE To-DAY.
The life of recluse was found hard
enough to practice in the Middle Ages,
in DAYS when accommodation be-
tween distant places was almost IN
known, when one could live in some
small place and, in far truer sense than
to-day, shut the world out, its thoughts,
les actions, its sympathies, its desires.
You must exert influence to-day, your
life must impinge upon other lives. Some
are waiting 10 take step with you. Some
are binding IL easier to saw certain things
hecanse Won have first said them; some
are finding il easier to do certain things
