The Hour Of Prayer.

Child amidst the flowers at play
While the red light fades away;
Mother. with thine earnest eye
Ever following silently;
Father by the breeze of eve
Called thy harvest work to leave;
Pray!-ere yet the dark hours be,
Lift the heart and bend the knee!
Traveller in the strangers land
Far from thine own household band;
Mourner, haunted by the tone
OF voice from this world gone;
Captive, in whose narrow cell
Sunshine hath not leave to dwell;
Sailor on the darkening sea-
Lit the heart and bend the knee.
Warrior, that from battle won
Breathest now at set of sun.
Woman, Ger the lowly slain
Weeping on his burial plain:
Ye that triumph, ye that sigh,
kindred by one holy tie.
Heavens first star alike We see
Lift the heart and bend the knee.

THE CHARITY OF GOD.
(Selected for The Times.)

tSeieCleG IOT Inc IlIneS.)
"Charity never faileth :. And now
abideth faith. hope, chartty."[. Corinth-
ians, xiii, S-l3.
Look closely at the text and we see that
this charity OF which st. Paul speaks is
Gods charity.
lie says: Charity never failerll';
that, though prophecies shall fail, tongues
cease and knowledge vanish away, charity
shall abide forever. Now, if a thing
'-rever fails it must be eternal. And
7 have reminded you before (about other
things, there is but one Eternal.
Therefore, charity must be in God, and
of God, part of Gods essence and being;
and not only Gods saints, but God Him
self. "sufereth long and lis kind envieth
not, seeketh not His own, is not easily
provoked, thinketll no evil, rcjoiceth not
in inquiry but in the truth; beareth all
things, believeth all things. hopeth all
things endureth all things
So st. Paul believed and taught, as did,
also. the other apostles. They believed,
and they have taught us to believe. that.
before ali things, above all things, beneath
all Things. is the divine charity. the love
of Goi-;ninite. as God is infinite; ever
lasting as God is everlasting. The charity
by whicl, God made all worlds. all men,
all things, that they might be blest as
He is blest, perfect as He is perfect use
full as He is useful. This charity, which
is Gods essence, might be content in it's
because it is erfectly at peace in itself:
and yet cannot BIZ content in itself, just
fore. must be going fordi: upon errands
of love, OF marcy, rewardirg those whom
it firds doing their work in their proper
place. and seeking and saving those who
are lost and out of their proper place
Oh. my friends. believe this with your
whole heart Whatever happens to you.
or to your loved ones. happens out of
the eternal charity of GOD, who cannot
change, who cannot hate, who can be
nothing but what He is, and was, and
ever will believe eternal IIovel And in
this love, pray you, trust when there
seems IlOlniIlS else !etl 70 liuSl III Oh LIES
whale earth!
And when st. Paul tells you, as he does
in this chapter, to love charity. to try
for charity, because it is the most excel
lent way to please God. and to gain that
otarrai virtue which viii abide forever
in Heaven, when all wisdcm and learning
teven about spiritual th'ngsl which men
have had,on earth shall seem to us when
we look back at then, as a child.s lessons
do to a grown man; when, say. ST.
Paul tells you TO ta.y after charity he only
tells you to be Like God himself: to be
perfect even as your Father in Heaven
Is perfect. to bear and >orbear because
God dies so; to give and forgive. because
God does so; to love all. because God
loves all. and wsNeth that none should
perish, but that all should come to the
knowledge of the truth.

the story OF his disgrace.

door OF their rude cottage. The gloomy
woods were close about them, and a few

mountain stream went rushing and foam

There was but a gentle breeze stirring
in the tree tops and the faint chirping of
the birds as they snuggled down in their
nests.
