minister's letter is entirely dsassoeiated
from the personal aspect which resulted IN
his retirement.
II is confidently expected by lis gov

II DRFIED GOD.

In the town of Hanover. in Germany,
there il buried a German countess who
dehed the existence of God and ridi
culed the idea of the resurrection, says
the Ladies' Home Journal. T ofurther
show her contempt for Christianity,
she ordered that on her death her grave
should be built up Of solid masonry
and covered with large stones bound
together by iron clamps. On this tomb
was engraved her defiant challenge
that, through eternity, this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
seed from some tree, either blown by
the wind or carried by @ bird, became
lodged in q small crevice of the tomb,
where it soon sprouted and began to
grow. And then, as If nature had
seemed to mock the naughty inhdel,
she quietly extended the delicate roots
of that Seeding under the massive
blocks of stone and slowly raised them
from their place. And now, although
scarce four generations have passed
since that tomb was sealed, that most
insignificant seeding has accomplished
what God Himself raj challenged to
accomplish.
