other day some sheets of paper. They
are written upon closely in my moth
er's hand. They were prepared when
she lay there in her last illness. and
they were for me, her son, whose spir-
itual weakness she perceived as only a
mother could.
Those sheets contain a perfect dupli-
cate of the thought in that sermon.
The language is not identical, but the
ideas, the arrangement. the sequence
in short, all that makes the sermon of
value to humanity Ii there In my

stead? By all means, il it suits your
mind. but it seems to me far more ma

always did when she was Of this world.

Interested to observe how l, who so
often fed others with the husk of con-
ISOLATION, would relish it myself. Per-
haps it gratified him intellectually TO
see me take the news with the grief
and terror of a child, pure protest OF
the flesh unmixed with spiritual COM
prehension.
He FASTENED to assur me that he
had by no e given up hope.
''She may be as we'll as ever on the
wedding day that you have set" said
he, but l cannot deny that the indi-
cations this evening are somewhat
alarming. so much so that l felt it my
duty to speak to her parents and to
you"

Miss Wilton passed into a condition
of coma SO closely resembling death
that a thousand times | supposed it
had come. l spent hours beside her
bed, my eyes turning from her face to
the physician and back again meohan-
ically, expecting always to read in his
eyes the final confirmation of my
fears, momentarily treasured, yet ever
despairing.
Meanwhile I was conscious of an in
ward, vain and, at the last, a frantic
search, a scurrying of the sou in it's
most secret chambers, seeking some
treasure long locked up there for this
very occasion and now lost. 1t was
against my conscience, against my ex-
perience-I would surely have said
regard this scene as possessing the ter
rifying element of ~inality. Yet | was
utterly incapable of looking beyond it.
There must be within me the mean to
enable me to do so. My faith. 1t was
that which / sought in anguish; it was
that which | did not find. l sat there
all that night believing that if Amy
died it was the end.
About sunrise, to the great amaze
ment Of DIR. Brett and the consulting
physicians. as they all subsequently
confessed. an unduly sudden and very
favorable change set in. 1t was ex-
pressed in the dear girls aspect and
was obvious to any eye. Though mo-
tionless as before. she ceased TO look
like one dead. She became as much
alive as n of us. It seemed to me
that he air of the room felt he thrill;
that the inaninate Surroundings sent
forth a faint sigh as of n who wax
ems. And at the same time fear de-
parted out Of my heart.
We count upon her recovery" said

1.-THE following is an extract from a let
ter to a former ~parishioner and long time
friend.1
The pamphlet containing my Easter
sermon which is the subject of your
inquiry was published under the di-
rection of a committee Of members OF
st. PauTs. There was, as you have
heard, a remarkable incident attending
its preparation-an incident which
rests upon my word alone and OF which
l IAN offer neither proof nor e%xplana-
ton. But you, my friend, will take
the story as | tell it.
L was at that time in dire extremity
of grief. Coming close upon the most
perfect happiness, it may have unset
tied my mind more than l then sus-
pected or can now realize. For many
months | had looked forward with ever
increasing ecstasy to my union With
the most lovable woman, a creature
built, soul and body, of my highest
ideals, indeed of better fabric than any
dreams of mine could
You may have heard that Miss Will
ton fell i'll early in March. The attack
was not supposed to be serious, for l
think we all put too much faith in the
ardent and splendid health which had
always distinguished her. 1t may be
that DR.. Brett entertained some appre-
hension from the beginning, but it was
as late as the 23d of the month when
he spoke to me the words that stop
ped the heart in my breast.
1 think he did not like me; that he
even despised me, believing that l was
a hypocrite, or, rather, being curious
to know how much sincerity there
might be in me. When he warned me
to fortify my spirit against the worst,
