guests at the Hall, and the festive season
was spent in a fitting manner. No actual

Smothered resentment behind.
Agnes was perfectly aware of the es-
arrangement she had caused at the Hall.
ana Madges singing sneers and sharp
reproaches were by nc means necessary to
snow her the mischief she was doing. She
%redoubled her attentions to Toms heir:
her manner to Tom was more angelic
than before; her sweetness increased his
admiration and respect for her tenfold.

immensely indignant, besides, at this dear,

Speak away, my dear" said Tom,
with stolid good humor, planting his
broad back against the mantel-shelf and
thereby damaging the lace and ribbon
with which it was garnished.

manners, she would not have accepted

don't quite see that there is any neces-
sity for ceremony between cousins and
friends"
"FriendsW echoes June, her lips begin

don't think there is very much friendship
about it. You know she was in love with
you-for all l know, she is in love with
you still; and all this pretended affection

For shame" utters Tom. 81 did not
think my wife was capable of such paltry
feeling. What has the poor girl done to

in your eyes? Do l begrudge any one

much of you? And, because there is Just

Jealousies of most women"
Things are indeed taking an unexpect-
ed turn; her ladyship's pride is up in
arms. Tears more Of anger than grief
start to her eyes.
1T shows what she is" she cries. "All
the time we have been away we have
been as happy as possible, and never had
one word, and the instant, the very in
slant we set foot in this house again, she
is the cause of our quarreling."
"She!' echoes Tom, who is fairly rous-

poor girl! All she wants is to be kind and
friendly. We have been away for months.

COMMENTS BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

up to Jerusalem. There was no COM
pulsion forcing Paul forward, except
his own loyalty to the will of God. He
could have turned aside at any
point, and found abundant salve
for his conscience in so doing. But
Paul was Paul. the Christian hero. who
had heard Jesus say. Follow me-"
"None of These Things Move Me-"
If Chritianity. as some say, produces.
only mllkSops, its character has alter
ed since the days when Paul was one
of it's products. For he held to his
hard course like a hero: nothing could
turn him aside from duty, even when
duty meant death. The pressure of his
mistaken friends, however. wrung from
the apsotle's heart this cry as sublime
as it is pathetic-"What wo We. weep
ing and breaking my heart? For 1 am
ready, not to be bound only, but also
to die at Jerusalem for the name of the
Lord Jesus"
Paul loved life, but he loved duty
more. He might be killed, but he would
go to his death like a brave man and
a Christian, with flag flying and with
his face to the foe. To him the will OF
God was more to be desired than free
dom from suffering. The spectacle ir-
resistibly recalls that other Hero,
Pauls example and Inspiration who
through long years never sWerved
aside from the sOrrowful way that
ended at a criminals cross or top Of
a Skull-Shaped hill.

WHY NOT SETTLE MINNESOTA

One of the most surprising things in connection with
the legislature is the opposition the house to bill
providing for bureau of immigration for the state of
Minnesota This is the more surprising because the
world is the this time to remarkable de-
gree and people do have be induced to seek
homes. They seeking them, and it is only question
where they will select them 1t is estimated that this
week people have passed through St. Paul bound
for North Dakota, Montana, Idaho Washington and
Canada. The union depot has been packed days
that with difficulty regular travel could pass and
fro The newspapers have been reporting these trong all
during the week. but the reporters speak of set
tiers going to points in Minnesota. They all go be-
yond
This is because Minnesota does present ad-
vantages but because she does advertise them None
of the sections of country where the settlers passing
through going begin to offer the advantages
which Minnesota does, and still the legislature does
to think it worth while give this information
the public.
OF the $4,000 square miles in this state only $1,000
occupied. There 1000 square miles of
land the majority of which will be reclaimed in the
of time and 10000 square miles covered by
the 1000 lakes in the state 10000 square miles still
unoccuped This is equal to 256oo,ooo of land
Some idea of this space can be formed from
the fact that the of Ohio has but A. 900 square
miles while the arabic land still remaining unoccuped
in the state of Minnesota is but square miles less
in amount than the entire state of Ohio which maintains
a population of nearly 100000 people .,.z,c,, . 49,
The surprising feature of the opposition the
is the fact that representatives from the southern
part of the state, which is fairly we'll settled, unite with
representatives from the northern part of the which
is sParsey settled in opposition the bill The bureau
IS not designed for any specific section of the state but
for the entire commonwealth, and while its <opefation
would tend Increase the value of farm lands would
also increase mercantile and every other interest in the
state, for if add 100000 people population
they will have live. They will also be producing and
sharers the burden of taxation that all the people
and every class of business viii be advanced by adding
to the population.
The present tide of immigration will not of course
be lasting 1t is literal illustration of the saying that
there is tide in the affairs of which taken at its
food leads fortune The legislature ought mount
the present tide by establishing an immigration bureau

international Sunday School Lesson for
April 26-"PauPs Journey to Jerusa
lem"-Aets 81, 1-16.

Three weeks age we studied PauPs
farewell to the Ephesian elders at Mi
letus, interrupting the course for two
weeks to consider passages from PauPs
letters written about his time. Today's
lesson finds the journey resumed, and
the following Sunday we shall see the
peregrinating apostle at Jerusalem, his
present goal.
The man who is telling this story,
DR.. Luke, was a member of the party,
and his narrative has many lHtl9
touches that testify to it's genuineness.
The sights that filled the travellers
eye are not neglected by his pen; he
cannot refrain from telling of his
stops at Cos and at Rhodes. where the
ruins of the Colossus, one of the seven
wonders of the world. were still visible
The change of ships at Patara is men
toned, and the passing of the Isle OF
Cyprus on the left. We can imagine
Paul standing by the ships rail, watch
ing the familiar shores of Cyprus, and
recalling the conversion of SergiuS
Paulus there, and the dramatic encOun-
ter with Elymas, the SOrcerer. We are
almost tempted to wish that Luke had
left some of these details out, and told
us more of the words and conduct of
Paul; yet Lukes pen moved by wiser
direction than we could give, and we
thank him for these vivid, personal and
graphic touches
