own salvation Through fear and trem-
bling. but at the same time He prom
ises us victory, a great glory In
which all may share. We may all win
this victory If we will. and we will win

hereafter I'm contrast with the sorrows
and sadness of this world. There the
humbes in this world Will reign
with the highest: there will be no weak,
blind, no sickness, no death.
I'm Gods hands let us commit all
things; let us individually and as an
organization follow out the teachings
of Christ; let us be possessed OF a true
religion. which has for its object that
of uplifting humanity"

In time they became thieves and

was the beginning OF the present trou-

From making trouble for the Catho-
lie Chinese the Boxers began making

Her heart beat with a strong agita-
ton as she reached the end of the
privet walk. She knew she had but
to turn the corner of that clump of
towering shrubs, and she should see
the white columns of the heavy porch.
Her steps faltered. For a moment she
stopped and held her breath. A sort
of superstitious fear seized her. She
felt as If, once she turned that corner,
the solution of her difficulties would
stare her in the face 1t took but
moment to conquer the feeling. Slow

of laurel yew, and holly, and there
flashed upon her sight the same pic
ture which had presented itself that
evening long ago; and her heart al
most ceased to beat for an instant, and
her mind was filed with CHASTITY con-
seriousness of delusion.
A man was leaning against the white
Pillar of the porch-a man with his
arms folded and his head bowed; his
whole attitude was expressive of the
most hopeless and absolute detection.
He had not heard her footstep; he
remained perfectly motionless, but the
girl reeled and staggered back pace
or two in feeling of helpless terror.
The man was there-it was the same
man who stood there beforehand yet
it was the last man whom she would
have expected to see.

instantaneous to enable her to rea-
