Abiding In love.

Abiding In love.
Jesus said, IF we keep My command
ments, We shall abide in My love-"
This must mean at the very surface
OF 1t that those who obey His COM
mands He will continue to love. Ii
there was no more than this, it is suf
6cient to prompt all really devout souls
to follow His will and orders. The
promise that He will love us is enough
of incentive to attract to loyal obedi-
ence. How can any one expect the
continued regard of the Lord, how
abide in His love, if there be disregard
of His will and rebellion against His
orders?
Looked at from one point of view the
commands of Christ are the announce
ment of the absolutely unalterable
laws of all spiritual life. They are no
mere demands of an arbitrary and If
rational will. They are based in the
very nature of spiritual existence.
They are the essential truth, and Jesus
tells us of them because He loves us
and would lead us into all the fullness
of blessed life The only possible path
is through keeping the laws of spirit.
He not only tells us what the rules are,
but He keeps them Himself and SO
opens the way for us to fellowship for
ever with Himself and the Father.
But we may go step beyond this
and discover that the cables of love are
as firmly knotted around our natures
by this obedience as they are bound in
His nature. Whoever receives an order
and obeys it, by that very act fastens
In his own nature new regard for the
one obeyed. He gives love as well as
receives it, Obedience confirms and
establishes our love to Christ. The
more we know Of His will and the
more fully we keep it the deeper be-
comes our attachment to Him and His
purposes. We identify ourselves with
all His mind and work. We love Him
as really as He loves us.
Obtaining requests. "And whatso-
ever we ask we receive Of Him." This
is direct consequence. 1t Is not a
species of favoritism. 1t is not In the
ordinary sense Of reward Identical
interests, appreciative knowledge Of
His purpose, active participation in His
work, leads to asking such things as
shall make us more completely helpful
In His blessed work and closer to His
loving regard. Before the request is
offered by us 1t was prompted in US by
His own gracious spirit.
Obedience is not straitjacket, but
Ia the joyous upleaping of soul to ex-
press itself. 1t is loving response to a
loving call. Obedience is not chain
to fetter US outwardly; 1t is spirit
within responding to call to compan
ionship and coworking.

spots flashing out in both cheeks. Cas-
sy patted the red spots softly as she
answered: "Oh, no; I'm just going

The Kinr nf neIIa

The Gar, or king of bells, as the
Russians call it, is in the Kremlin at
Moscow, and, in spite of one or two
other claimants for the title, it is I'M
doubtedly the largest bell in the world.
1t was cast in 1873 by order of the
Empress Anne. There is no record of
its ever having been hung. 1t was
found imbedded in the earth where it
had fallen and was excavated and set
in position by order of the Emperor
Nicholas in 1880.
1t is 10 feet 49, inches high and
weighs $4,000 pounds. 1t is said there
were more than 1000 tons of bronze
melted for It's casting.
The king stands in the middle of a
square on . base of granite and looks
like great bronze tent. A fragment
broken off from it lies near the tower
of Ivan velilli. 1t is used as chapel,
the assure being so great that man
may walk through without lowering
his head. 1t is beautiful piece of
work, and its tone is said to have been
particularly sweet. The sides sweep
out in a broad and mighty curve and
are encircled with a top and lower
border of artistic merit.

she said; then as thunderous knock
sounded: Talk of angels and Angelasl
There she is as sure as fate!'
Miss Angela Venner, otherwise the
family, was heavy in person as in
purse. Notwithstanding Bernice, u
slender beauty, was so curiously like
her, Angela could not help hating her
Undoubtedly it was aggravating to
have fate take the same general outline
and color scheme, yet from it evolve a
creature so exquisite as to make one
seem a coarse and dauby caricature
Still, since Miss Venner had really a
conscience she greeted Berry more af-
fectionately than the others, even
pumping few tears.
But don't you worry, Cousin Ange,"
Bernice said brayely. "We can take
care of ourselves"
Until l am ready to take care of
them" Classy piped; then, smiling up
at her rich cousin: I'm going to mar
ry, you know marry rich. After that
we shall all be happy"
Indeed, Who is the man? Miss
Venner demanded, half aghast. Classy
smiled more infantinely than ever. Il
am not right certain yet" she said. II
am going home with you to find out"
with all my heart, you ridiculous
babyw Miss venner said, pinching
Cassy's cheek. In her fortnight's stay
she made at least fifty separate plans.
but went home with Classy under her
wing, assured that her poor cousins
were ungratefully bent upon working
out salvation in ways of their own de-
wishing.
Midsummer always brought Vendale
to its best This especial midsummer it
was fairly enchanting. Classy had been
there two months. Carter Lee and his
bachelor uncle, the major. had kept
things social humming. The two bal
anced beautifully had money
and willful strength. the major gallant
experience. Between them 1t was no
work at all to make Classy the belle of
the countryside. Miss Angela had let
them into Cassy's pious purpose and so
set them to fetching in the eligibles in
herds
For a young person thus specula-
lively Dent Classy was no END dlmcuiC-
so difficult indeed, Miss Angela begged
Carter to take her to task roundly.
''She is letting slip the best chances
she can ever hope to have" said Cous
In Angela. Refused three men last
week to my certain knowledge each

Carter lay in wait for Classy as she
went out to the rose garden. For .

petal strewn paths; then the mai
faced about, asking plumply, Classy
who keeps you from marrying rich7"
Garter, who keeps you from marry
ing rich? You've been engaged, as /
have not. this last seven years." Classy
retorted, looking at him sidewise.

A Gnna Enonrh Excuse.

A memorable instance of presence of
mind was the adventure of certain
Desaugiers at the time of popular up
rising in Paris, when the people took
possession Of the Tuileries. The hero
of the incident sagely acted upon the
theory that poor excuse Is better than
none and sometimes better than bet
ter one would be.
He was an inquisitive person, and re-
CARELESS of the danger he fastened to
the Tuileries at midnight to see what
was going on At the gate he was
stopped by two revolutionists of omi-
nous appearance. "Why do you not
wear cockade, citizen? Where is
your cockade?" they asked.
A mob gathered about him and de-
manded fiercely, "Citizen, where Is
your cockade?"
Desaugiers took off his hat, turned 1t
around and around, looked at 1t on all
sides and then said in tone of mild
surprise:
Citizens, 1t is strange, very strange,
must have left it on my nightcap."

I'm the shadow.

We must all go there sometimes. The
glare of the daylight is too brilliant.
Our eyes become injured and unable to
discern the delicate shades of color or
appreciate neutral tints-the Swallowed
chamber of sickness, the Swallowed
house of mourning, the Swallowed life
from which the sunlight has gone. But
fear not; it is the shadow of Gods
hand. He is leading thee. There are
lessons which can be learned only
there. The photograph Of His face
can be only fixed in the dark chamber.
But do not suppose that He has cast
thee aside. Thou art still in His quiz
er; He has not flung thee away as
worthless thing. He is only keeping
thee close till the moment comes when
He can send thee most swiftly and
surely on some errand In which He
will be glorified. o Swallowed, solitary
one, remember how closely the CULVER
is bound to the warrior, within easy
reach of the hand and guarded jeal-
ously!-Rev. F. B. Meyer.

Classy ran on as though she had not

And she likes it. The only reason she
doesn't say Yes offhand is she thinks
the loss of her would kill you

with your fist that it will come down
over his eyes. Ten to one he will

though some one had subjected you
