After day Of tempest,
A battle Of wind and rain,
Just when the gloom was thiekest,
The sun shone forth again;
Lit with blaze OF glory
The track OF the seething waves,
Fell like an angels blessing
On the desolate churehyard graves;
Gave heart of hope to the fisher
YEARLY faring home,
Frightened the brow of the goodwiie,
Watching till he should come,
And the words Of the Holy Scripture
We're borne to my soul again
As ] thought OF the wonderful gladnea
OF sunshine after rain,
And thought that ever the Master,
As once in Galilee,
Is ready to calm the tumult
OF storm on land or sea.
And yet when the gloom is thiekest
And the day is almost done
he sends US cheer and courage
In the CLEAN Of the setting sun.

The structure of thy future. Do not grope

But turn the leaf and smile. oh, smile to see

Combining these thoughts and resolves,
how would "Stop and Rest" do for a
spring motto for the busy sisters of the NJ.
B, column? Every one is burdened with
the cry of $50 much to dol" Sometimes
after few minutes rest one can accom-
plish enough more to make up for the
little time spent. Then again, instead of
rushing around doing bit here and not
knowing what to take hold of next, stop
and think what can be left to the last Cor
left for another day. to the best advantage.
A few minutes quiet thinking may sys-
tematize things so that the work can be
much more easily accomplished.
A mathematician once said: 'sIf l had
five minutes given me in which to perform
a problem, should take three minutes of
that time to consider it." Quite likely it
wouldn't do to spend three-lifths of our
time considering" household tasks, but
some proportion might safely be used that
way. 1t is quite evident, Ego, that the
