Oh, import deep as life is, deep as time
There is something sacred and sublime
Moving behind the worlds. beyond our ken,
Weighing the stars, weighing the deeds oil
men.
Take heart. o soul of sorrow, and be strong;
There is One greater than the whole worlds
wrong
Be hushed before the high Benignant
That moves wool-shod through sepulchre
and towerl
No truth so slow but He will give 1t crown;
No wrong SO high, but He will hurl u down.
Edwin Markham.
Ii is gratifying that the Christian
Endeavor World selected the following

January 18th. The message was sent
to Christian Endeavorers through
Miss Belle Brains book, Weapons for
Temperance Warfare" and its appear

| Sisters: Only clear brain can think
Gods thoughts after Him. Only
steady hand can glorify the divine car
penter by faithful industry. Only q
heart unhurried by artificial stimulants
can be loyal, in its love toward Christ
and humanity.

/ incessant in your efforts to teach total
abstinence for the sake Of head, hand
and heart, and to take as the watch
words of Christian citizenship; Home
protection, and the liquor traffic must
be destroyed. " Yours in the purpose to
glorify God in our todies and SPIRITS

organization to which she gave heI
great and beautiful life. We ask money
for no other memorial to her, and We
believe that all unions which respond
