At the Turn of the Road.

sydney Advertiser
Where the rough road turns, and the
valley sweet
Smiles bright with its balm and bloom,
Wen fotget the thorns that have pierced
the feet
And the nights with their grief and
gloom,
And the sky will smile, and the stars
will beam,
And we'll lay US down in the light to
dream.
We shall lay us down in the bloom and
light
With prayer and a tear for rest,
AS the tired children who creep at night
To the love of mothers breast.
And for all the grief of the stormy past
Rest shall be sweeter at last-at last!
Sweeter because of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts to the perfect
day
With its splendor of light and song.
The light that shall bless us and kiss us
and love us
And sprinkle the roses of heaven above
us!

The little Armchair.

Nobody sits irthe little armchair;
1t stands In corner dim;
But white hired mother gazing there,
And yearnigly thinking of him,
Sees througbhe dark of the long ago
The bloomof her boys sweet face,
As he rocks,o merrily to and fro,
With lagh that cheers the place.
Sometimes e holds book in his hand,
Sometims pencil and slate,
And the Lesson is hard TO understand,
And thefgures hard to mate.
But she SECS the nod of his fathers head,
So proud of the little son,
And she hears the words so often said:
mo fear for our little one
They we're wonderful days. the dear
sweet days,
Wher child with sunny hair
Was here to scold, to kiss to praise,
Ather knee in the little chair.
Sheiost him back in the busy years
When the great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and
fear.
To his place in the battles van.
But now and then in wistful dream,
Like picture out of date,
She sees head with golden CLEAN
Bent DER pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young life's Spring,
When the small armchair stood just in
the way,
The center of everything.

As John stood there in holy awe and
reverence, two of his disciples heard
him speak, and they followed Jesus.

He asked them. What seek YEP" and
they said they wanted to know where

One of the two men who followed
Jesus was Andrew The first thing
that he did was to find his brother
Peter and tell him that he had found
the Messiah, and bring hin, to Jesus.
When Jesus saw Peter, He told him
he should be called stone. He after

The next day Jesus went into Cali

man, named Nathaniel, whom Philip
must have been very much interested
IN, for he took the trouble to hunt
him up and tell him that they had
found Jesus Of Nazareth, the Messiah,
the same that Moses and the proph-
cts had written about centuries before,
and for whom the people of God were
waiting.
Perhaps Nathaniel did not know
that the Messiah was to be a man,
