Heroic Spinsters.

"TLe consciousness of seeing her
own charms reflected in mans eyes
is something which appeals to every
woman" writes Edward W. Box, of
"They Who Never Were Brides" in
the June Ladies' Home Journal"
"Nothing else ever makes her so
proud and SO happy in exactly the
same way. But that consciousness
is not always for expression. Some
times it is thing for ones inner
self, to be enjoyed at the time and
TO be lived over in the years to
come. No; women do not wilfully
turn away from their own happiness.
But they do sometimes darken their
own lives TO make the lives of others
who may be close or dependent upon
them. Some higher and fundamen
tai duties sometimes calls, loftier
motives sometimes quiet the deepest
heart-longings, o God-given task
sometimes points woman in the
opposite direction to her own in
stincts. There is such a thing-not
known to the young, albeit years
bring the knowledge-as a woman
turning away from great happiness
to insure the great comfort and hap
piness of others, choosing their COM
fort as her life work. Men do it
now and then. But women oftener
do it. Memories take the place of
realities, and in these memories,
sweet and tender, many women are
living today. They have never been
brides. But they might have been.
AT one time in their lives the neces-
sity of choice came to them. Prayer.
fully and tearfully, and yet resolute.
~, they have made the choice. To-
day they are not wives simply be-
cause they are heroines. And who
will say which is the greater?'

Amos s.: l-8. Read the whole
Chapter. Golden Text, "Tney also
have erred through wine, and
through strong drink are out Of the
way lisa. 1871
Amos prophecies the Judgment
that will come upon the house of
Israel, because OF their sin. He
molrns their indifference, and their
Incidence, and drunkenness, "Woe
to them that are at ease in Zion. ("
He says they put their trust in
themselves, and not in the living
God, making merry and putting far
away the evil day OF war. and thus
making their destruction the more
sure because they were not prcpar-
ed for it.
He says, Therefore now shall
they go captive with the first that
go captive." Every purpose of the
Lord shall be performed and 66
years later, the ten tribes of Israel
were taken captive to Assyria.
Notice that this judgment was be-
cause "They provoked Him to an
ger with their high places, and NOV
ed Him to jealousy with their graz
ven images When God heard
this He was wrcth, and greatly abb
horred Israel" They "put their
trust 10 the mountains of Samarian
but sit is better to trust 10 the Lord
than to put confidence in man."
And the Lord mourns His chosen
people, "Hear, o My people, / am
the Lord thy God. which brought
thee out OF the land of Egypt +; open
thy mouth wide, and | will fill it.
But My people would not hearken
to My voice and Israel would none
of Me. SO / gave them up unto
their own hearts lust and they
walked in their own counsels. O
that My people had hearkcned unto
Me, and Israel had walked in My
ways. should soon have subdued
their enemies, and turned My hand
against their adversaries."
Hear also the lament of Israel
"Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
Thou that leadest Joseph like
flock Thou that dwellest between
the cherubins, shine FORTH. How
long Lord !? wilt Thou be angry for
ever? Shall Thy jealousy burn like
FIRE? Turn US again, o God, and
cause Thy face TO shine, and we
shall be saved. Return, we beseech
Thee, 0 God of hosts lock down
from Heaven, and behold and visit
this vine.
And hear the promise OF the Lord
"But now thus saith the Lord that
created thee, 0 Jacob, and He that
formed thee, o Israel, fear not; for
have redeemed thee. Fear rot
for | am with thee; / will bring thy
seed from tue east, and gather thee
from the west; | will say to the
north, give up; and to the south,
keep not back bring My sons from
far, and My daughters from the
ends of the earth. | do not this
for your sakes, 0 house of Israel,
but for Mine holy names sake,
which we have profaned among the
heather whittier ye went"
