Yea. know all this" sweetly replied
Ruth, but God hath graciously permit
ted me revelation of HIS wonderful
grace, and mother and father will yet
be mum bered among Jesus disciples"
"Oh, how | have prayed and hoped that
II might be so, exclaimed Mary. when
Lazarus died they were so kind in their
ministry TO sister and me, and our hearts
were brought closer together in a com
mon sympathy, but when Jesus came
and brought our brother back from the
dead, greater bitterness seemed to surge
In upon them. and they have said over
and over again: III Jesus could restore
the dead why did He let them suffer SO !
Why did He not give back to them
their darling. and the one who had pro-
fessed faith in Him?' Oh, II they could
only know and understand"
And they will" responded Ruth.
confidently, and giving her friend a
parting embrace, she vanished from
sight.
In Bethany that morning strange
things had happened, too. The mother
had been down to Ruth's tomb, as was
often her custom, TO weep, and had re-
turned In great distress of mind and
terror OF heart. The stone had been
thrust aside from the caverns mouth
and the place. where more than two
years before they had laid the precious
form of their darling, was empty.
What could II mean? Who could have
so desecrated the sacred spot?
And thus 1t came to pass that as Mary
came rushing in with her wonderful
message, she found the parents and
neighhors I'm excited conferanca

was saying, that they Ia not notice
the shining figure which walked by
their side. Jesus last commission had
been given. As He lifted up His
hands and blessed that little company
OF believers. they bowed their heads
in reverent worship, and then. lifting
them. they NV Jesus slowly and
majestically rising from the earth
while a cloud was seen TO descend
from the heavens to meet i.im
At that moment a gentle touch was
felt upon the arm by the parents and
as they turned, the world. Mother.
Father" fell upon their ears, and be.
fore them stood the radiant presence
OF their daughter Ruth.
The vision OF that moment, oh, how
precious How sweet to have Jesus
give them thus the token of His love
and blessing! Those words, that vi
sion, that loving touch, how 1t re-
manned as a sweet and holy memory
during all the remaining days OF their
earthly pilgrimage! The heart may
catch In an instant a vision that will
never fade; II may hear Just a word,
the message of which will unfold with
the years; II may feel a touch which
will sanctify throughout eternity.
And so II was that day. But a brief
moment and Ruth was gone with her
Lord into glory And wit. beamins
faces, mother" and father" lifted
their eyes to their Lord and Christ
as the cloud received Him out OF their
sight and exclaimed simply but fervid.
ly:
I'VE thank Thee, Lord Jesus, for
Thyself and for what Thou hast done
for u.s."

as though conscious of that which had
come to pass, seemed eager to offer her
tribute to the risen Lord.
On the road over which Jesus had rid
den so triumphantly but one week be-
lore woman is seen hurrying. So in
tent is she on reaching the village lust
ahead Of her that her feet fairly fly over
the road. Her face is lit up by a Won
drous glow, rejecting the Joy and &C.
stacy which thrills within her heart. 1t
is Mary, the sister of Martha and Laza-
rus, she who loved to sit at Jesus feet
She notes not the scenes about her, or
That morning she had been with the
women who had sought the tomb of
their crucifed Lord as the dawn was
breaking, and had been a sharer in all
that wonderful experience. About noon
she had withdrawn from the rest and
sought seclusion on the house top.
AS she sat in deep study and tried
TO realize and understand all that had
came to pass. she saw fair young wom-
an advancing towards her with out
stretched arms.
Ruth, exclaimed Mary, as soon as
she could speak, II was but just think
Ing OF you. Many in our company this
morning have thrilled us with the won
derful stories of meeting friends and
loved ones who had died. II is but the
beautiful coloring to the glorious pic
ture OF Christs resurrection, and have
been wondering IL II was your blessed
privilege to be among the number"
Yes, dear Mary, Jesus has called me
to be among the company which should
share in His resurrection glory" and as
Ruth spoke her face shone with a celes-
tial light and holy JOY.
You remember bow we met Jesus al
the passover feast at Jerusalem at the
beginning OF His ministry, and the 10y
and peace which came TO our hearts as
we received Him. We had always been
dear and close friends before. but how
the new hope that thrilled us drew us
into closer bonds OF sympathy and fell
lowship. You remember how we longed
to be near Jesus that we might receive
OF His teachings and of the bitter oppo-
sition which met me at home? With Won
II was not so difficult. for your sister
Martha and brother Lazarus were of an
open mind and willing TO receive the
truth. When sickness came. and Jesus
away OF In Galilee-I never saw Him but
once, you recall felt | could not die
! wanted to be with Him. | wanted TO
know Him better. was not afraid of
death, for when | came to know Jesus
that fear and dread was all taken away
but | did so want TO live to .know Him
better. But. oh, Mary! did not know
then that the dark gateway OF death was
TO usher me into such larger privilege
and blessing And now this has come 10
pass that have part in the resurrection
with my Lord. How sweet and perfect
is Gods will"
Ruth, your parents have been bitter
In their sorrow. and have felt rebellious
against God. Greater opposition to
Jesus than ever before marked their
conduct after your death, and they have
refused to see Him or hear
Him speak on His many visits to Beth
any and our home" explained Mary, for
the unbelief of the parents of her dear
est friend had been one of the bitterest
griefs which she had been forced to en-
lure. and her thoughts had been OF them
much OF the morning.

HOW TO HOLD THE DICE.

10 do this 10y throwing the die upward
as you threw the first one you may
catch IL i'm the cup all right, but at the
same time you will be pretty sure to
throw the first one out of the cup. As
for catching both together as they come
down YOU will find that almost impossl-
bic. The proper way TO get the second
die into the cup without losing the
one that is already there is TO let your
hand drop suddenly, at the same time
letting go the die which you have been
holding.
The die will drop, too. but not as
rapidly as your hand. so that you will
have no difficulty in getting the cup
under it and catching il.

Postmaster General Cortelyou
has issued an order which puts a
ban OH all newspapers publishing
the results of all raff1es and church
fair lotteries and prohibiting, such
publication from the use of the
mails. The order is sweeping in its
provisions and calls upon post
masters to strictly enforce the laws.
This means that In the future where
there is a church fair of any kind
with rattle or lottery attachment,
or if there is anyone with shot
gun or watch to rattle off, the
winning number must not be printed
in the newspapers. Endless chain
enterprises for the sale of articles
by the circulation of coupons, etc.,
are also barred. So strict is the
order that it commends itself to all
who have heretofore had an interest
in these matters.
