Blouses and shirt waists are more

all the leading shops nowadays one
can get very nice, inexpensive
blouses, as well as more extravagant
ones, handmade and trimmed with

"hlo WITH CHRISTI

We gazed into the yawning grave,
With shudd'rirg agony end dread;
Into that sere and narrow cave
Where we must leave our precious dead !
Our heartstrings ouivered with the moan
OF cords reluctantly unreeled.
AZ, In their tsut, yet writing zone,
The essket sought the tomb's grim shield.
With tense, expectant breath, we stood
To hear the Understanding ciod
Fall from the cowl, the yellow hood
OF fresh-turned clay. and waiting sod.
Then, Earth TO earth. and dust to dust. {"
We heard, but not the hooking thud
Which thrills the soul With anguished
thrust.
Which chille the stricken brain and blood
For, thoughtful hands had thfckiy strewu
The cherished casket with the bouKhs
OF arbor vithe's fragrant boon.
And human PHYS fadeless vowe-
All, then, revivihed with trust
In God and man, we waited there
While Earth TO earth and dust to dust -
No longer seemed Deaths ruthless share.
Beyond the stern. sepulchral groans.
Beyond the knell OF persisted time.
We heard the Comforter's glad tones,
We heard the resurrection chime.
A voice had whispered: Come TO Mer'
And 10! the weary had found rest!-
o Grave, where is thy victory,
When Christs dear ones sleep on His
breast?
We left her there, below the wreath
That made the air with fragrance rife,
Forever hid with Christ" beneath

Owed to interfere With tn. daily fam.

Owed to interfere with the daily fam
py prayers.
His father is well-known mer>
shant, Of definite and well-fxed idesa
Every morning after breakfast the
whole family, guests, servants and all,
assemble in the drawing-room. There
shs head Of the family reads q pas
! sage from the Bible, and then offers .
simple petition, which inysriabl con-
cludes with the Lor&s Prayer; in that
! the whole family joins.
To the lively, impatient boy, this
sacred family custom was at times q
bore. 1t interfered with so many
things that might be done. But his
fathernever allowed him to absenthim-
self except for an imperative reason. So
1t frequently happened that he fretted
and showed more or less impotence
when the few minutes devoted 70 fam
lily prayer arrived.
His father tried AL sorts OF plans
punishments, rebukes-but could do
nothing to check this spirit OF re-
volt.
Finally, one morning just efter
prayers, while the family were all
present, he said; my boy, you are now
16-old enough to take a prominent
part in the management Of the home
and / propose that once a week you
shall lead our family prayers"
The boy was taken by surprise and
flushed deeply. But he had courage,
and so said, with apparent compos-
ure; IAN right, father" But his heart
beat unanimously.
The next morning his father handed
him the Bible, and told him he was to
lead the family worship.
But L can't make a prayer as you
do" whispered the son.
You can repeat the Lords PRAYER"
said his father, gently.
Tom read the Bible very well. Then
they all knelt down and followed him
| as he led them in the Lords Prayer.
1t was noticed that his voice became
more and more unsteady as he went
on. Finally, when he came to "and
forgive US our trespasses as we" he
burst into tears, and, jumping up,
rushed upstairs to his room and flung
himself on the bed, weeping bitterly.
The father knew that something Sc
| rious was the matter, but did not know
what He gave the lad time to COM
pose himself a little, and then followed
him upstairs. He leaned over and pat
ted the boy upon the head;
What is the matter, my SOM Tell
me all about it. VIII help YOU"
Father" sobbed the boy, 'I couldn't
| lead IN prayer. / saw my teacher be-
fore me all the time. 1 told him a
lie yesterday. IL had forgotten all
about it, but 1t came up when was
praying. 1 don't think ever realized
what that prayer meant before"
You had better tell your teacher
to-day, Tom"
Il will, promise you'll" was the en-
| phatic answer. Then raising himself.
he looked his father in the eye and
said:
Il don't see how anyone can pray
aloud before people unless he can
! wash everything off the slate and know
that II is clean"
Much moved, his father laid his
hand upon his shoulder. "My dear
boy" he said, you have stumbled
upon the vital truth in prayer. 1t
| isnot that one cannot go TO his Heaven
ly Father until the slate is clean rs
you say, but IL is because prayer shows
him when it is not clean and helps to
make it clean that it draws us nearer
to God and makes us better."-Youth's

THE MOUNTAIN CREATION.
Gods Plans Are Perfect-Only Mar
Calls Into Being That wndch
Is Enharmonioua

Moses was to build the tabernacle
after the pattern he had received in
the mount. God was the architect,
Moses only the builder. That method
saved much discussion and trouble
with the workers about the taber.
Dscle. There are some things the
world cannot change; Gods plan for
q human life Is never out of date; the
mountain architecture Is perfect. II
Is neither Grecian nor Roman; IL
does not follow any human school;
1t ia after the heavenly design. See
that you make your architecture aft
er the holy pattern, perfected from
foundation to capstone. Strange TO
say that while there is wide differ
ence of opinion as to what is artistic
and beautiful in human workmanship,
men are of one mind when-khey stand
before the mountain-creation. The
sermon on the mount is the pattern
of the mount, the architecture OF a
right life. When men cry: Back 20
Christ" urging us to conform to the
principles and rules OF The Master.
they are simply repeating to all men
the command that was given TO
Moses; "See that thou make all
things according to the pattern
Showed thee in the mount" What
perfect harmony tAare would be
among the life-buildings in the world
If we followed the heavenly designs!

IL Is Love.

IT'S love that makes the world so bright
And takes away life's care,
II plants the blooming roses, too,
On cheeks to make them fair,
And bids the luster in the eye
To shine with wOndrous light,
And drives the GOODNESS from the heart
To warm IL with delight.
1t clothes the criticisIng tongue
With words or mercy sweet,
And little faults will be unseen,
When loving hearts shall meet
The whole world brighter seems to grow
When love, appearing speaks,
And love-warmed hearts find peace and
rest,
For which mankind e'er seeks.

The Living Sen

How like the city is unto the sea:
The mighty wave OF commerce breaks and
beats
In restless surges through the city
streets,
Swayed by the master tide of energy.
How many derelicts, long morn TO morn,
Drift at the mercy OF the wind and wave
The fotsam and the jetsam OF the pave
Deserted. rudderless and tempest-torn.
Here move great argosies with gold and
bales,
Stanch ships that dare the cunning cur
rents might,
And through their long procession dart
the light
Swift pleasure craft with sun-emblazoned
sails.
Yet am I minded only OF one thing:
How much-how much these smiling waters
drown
Dear God. what wrecks this very day went
down

How Little IL Coats

How little Il costs, II we give II a thought,
To make happy some heart each dayl
Just one kind word or q tender smile
AS we go on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a neighbours face,
And the press OF hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear effaoe
One walks in sunlight; another goes
All weary in the shade;
One treads a path that is fair and smooth,
Another must pray for aid.

We give II so little thought;
