REPORT FROM VERMONT,

Mrs. c. Fl. Buck, State president of Vermont re-
ports considerable amount of T. s. S. work done
in her State She writes that they find so
many opportunities to be helpful at home that the
members do little outside their own State
Arlington Branch No. has been especially active
in its Sunshine work shown in the itemized re-
port of this branch president. So long as Yer
mont does much good work is shown in this
latest report it will be at all necessary that the
members extend their efforts beyond their own
State. Mrs Buck requests that their dlstribu-
tons shall not be published In detail Suffice it to
say that the generous supply of food to the needy,
deiCacies, flowers and pictures to the sick and
comfortable articles of clothing, make the distrib-
utions of the Green Mountain members entirely
worthy of the cause.

SEALED ORDERS.

Out she swuLg from her mornings.
And over the harbor bar.
As the moon was slowly rising,
She faded from sight afar,
And we traced her cleaning canvas
By the twlinkling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for,
Nor whittier her course would be;
Her future course was shrouded
In silence and mystery.
She was sailing beneath sealed orders
To be opened out at sea
Some souls. cut off from mornings.
Go drifting into the night,
Darkness before and around them,
With scarce a glimmer of light;
They are acting beneath sealed orders
And sailing by faith. not sight.
Keeping the line of duty
Through good and evil report
They shall ride the storms out safely.
Be the passage long or short;
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall anchor at last in port.
