more win it's way than a stream can
 start in the valley and rush upward
 to the mountain top. The everlasting
 laws of nature, will slowly undermine evil of every sort and bring 1t to in-
 evitable ruin, and these same laws will
 stand shoulder to shoulder with the
 right, and gain the victory in spite of i the ages which vainly try to crush it.
 The world is made om that plan, and its action is as reslstless as the tide of Niagara. Gods will is the only will
 which grows stronger every day, and
 faith in that will and obedience to it are just as inyincible as is the morning
 light which chases the darkness from
 the landscape. There may be chaos to- day but order shall come with the
 morrow.
 You may struggle with diversity.
 but it shall not enslave you if you and
 God are walking in company. You may
 weep over the loss of loved ones until
 the well Of tears Is dry, but if you can catch glimpse of the other life and
 in your dreams see the home in which they found an asylum, death Is the be- ginning, not the end.
 |i u.ttti III youl POhCt eC oNNA eNtaiSI faith in your ability to build noble character out of the events which mark your passage from year to year; faith that God rules tn calm and storm alike, and that disaster is impossible as long as you walk in the sunshine of His ap- proval-that kind of faith is to the soul what the fathers protecting arms are to he child If you have it not you wander through weary wastes of ex- perience, finding neither satisfaction nor peace, and many of us are doing this to-day We ask ourselves what it all means, what 1t is all for, what the end of 1t all will be, and, getting no answer except the echo of our own pleading voices, lose the best part of life in losing the hope of Immortality. We are q thirsty and hungry folk, longing for the food which is hidden from us by our doubts.
 There is nothing to be found from sunrise to sunset so pathetic as soul which drifts because the compass light has gone out and the night has forgot- ten to pin it's curtain with a star.
 On the other hand, there is nothing so heroic IS man who knows that all will be well with him, whatever may be his present environment, because the Master and the angels are with him, changing the dirge of circum- stance into hymn of praise. Life, work, poverty and even death are grim guides leading him through shadows l into the eternal light.
 To believe that you were brought i here for a purpose that you can over come all obstacles and achieve that | purpose that by and by you can pre- sent yourself to God and say 1T have done what I could"-that is to make | the present glorious and 10 dissipate all | fears of the future You are worth | much; therefore do much. Be of good | cheer, for the soul that trusts shall sit ! In the throne at last.
 Men may be selfish and even cruel; they may iostie the weak and grasp everything for themselves; they may ook at you with wondering eyes when you tell them of God and Christ and heaven; but deep down in the universal leart is an admiration and even an en- " of true, manly, heroic righteousness which nothing can quench By and by We shall attain that righteousness, and hen we shall. know that the only !, hings worth osE While are the simple tirtues to which the universe bows it's lead in everlasting reverence.-George I. Hepworth in New York, Herald.
