LOTTERY a FLOrRISHING INSTI-
TUITION.

The people are as a rule invetcrate
gamblers. and the lottery has become a
very fourshing institution There are
many concerns. but the one the most I'M
portant and which offers the biggest
prizes. is the Grand National run by
the government-aud sanctioned by the
Church, because it gives certain per-
Centage of its earnings to benevolent pur-
poses. Its highest prize is about 100000.
Every shop window one passes is full of
the green tickets while at every street
corner small boys or legless or armlcsS
men or even deCrepit old women wave d
bunch of tickets before ones face and
shout in ones ears, buy one of my tick
cts you will get a prize. There is
much excitement on the drawing days,
when the winning numbers are announc-
ed. The lucky fellows are patted ON the
back, their pictures are printed in the
papers and they are called lucky devils"
by their friends. Unfortunately they be-
come convinced that they are lucky devils
and cannot he anything but lucky devils
and in the end loose all they have al
ready gained in the vain endeaVor to
draw more There are those who have
il scientifically figured out to their own
satisfaction exactly what numbers are
going to be drawn and who make a bus
mess of buying tickets.

Heaven a Place of Surprises.

Now, the more you live with some
love and devotion and realize their true
worth. When you were n little child
you thought you loved your mother,
but every year you grew older the
more beauty and tenderness you found
in her life. When she was old and her
form emaciated she thought that her
work was done and wondered why
God did not come and get her. But
she became dearer to you then every
day. You said to her just before her
death: Mother, mother, | cannot get
along without you. | am Just now be
ginning to appreciate WI your love
means" Yes, II takes some Of us ten,
twenty, forty-aye, fifty-years to fully
appreciate the beautiful characters of
those who have lived by our side, Each
month reveals some new sweetness or
gentleness, each year some new
worth SO our heaven is to be place
Of continual surprises. We shall all
be hourly and daily discovering some
new manifestation OF purity and love
n the lives of those with whom we are
pending eternity. We shall be con
lnually surprised with their thought
illnesses and sacrifices and tender at
nntions. When they do us the uneX-
lected kindnesses which only heaven
an offer we shall delightedly eXclaim

of maize was waiting her, but in order
to move she must have certain papers
made out. But the official whose duty
1t was to sign those papers had gone
