the widowed mother Dy the young mans bier at Main; with the loving sisters he had wept at Lazarus tomb. But there is great difference between ourselves, and the sorrow of despair, sorrow for those who are taken away. This latter sorrow the Christian has no right to suffer. ''Sorrow not,' says Paul to the ThesSalonians, "even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so then also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him."'
 There is
 NO CONGREGATION, BELOVED, WHICH
 DOES NOT NEED THIS MESSAGE TO
 CONSOLE.
 Sweet word of comfort! One needs it to day, another tomorrow, in propor- tiOn as we fulfil the law of Christ by bearing one anOther'S burdens; we all need it continually. The unseen world IS daily opening to receive the friends we love, but though they pass from sight, it is only for season. They shall not return to us. Why should we wish them to, except to satisfy our selfish, lonely hearts. Free from sick ness, the Lord their God hath healed
 
 haS become their wholesome strength. Free from accident, the beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety; He shall cover them all the day long, and they shall dwell between his Shoul- ders. They have passed beyond the troubles of tranSitory life; they have read the riddles of earth's difficult, probationary day. Out of the clouds and darkness where they groped with eye of faith firm fixed upon the Lamb of God, they have passed to that eternal morning where the ord giveth them perpetual light, and revealeth to them the righteousness and judgment which are the habitation of his seat, Out of the storms which buffet us they nave found the man Christ Jesus a refuge from the storm, an hiding-place from the wind, covert from the tenn pest. They shall not return to us! This is not the sad, but the comfort ing word of Holy Writ which we as Christians should bear in mind, es- pecially at this blessed season of All Saints, when we take upon our lips those words of thanksgiving for the cred home: i've bless thy holy name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear" We shall go to them! This is the word Of Holy Writ which we should have especially in mind, when to-day we take upon our lips the prayer: i've beSeech thee to give us grace so to follow their good examples that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom. ," So as we think today of loved ones gone before,
 "Who lived not in the past alone, But thread tO-day the unheed1ng street Sta5FS Sing with the welcome of their feet-" the meek, the lowly, the patient, the uncOmpla1ning, who ScOrned earth s l gift of fame and power and gold so they could live the nearer to Gods 1 heart,-saints all of them, ,uncanonized, uncatalogued,-
 | THANK WE GOD FOR THE GOOD EXAM
 PLIES OF THEIR PATIENT, PURE, IN
 SPRING LIVES;
 pray we the Holy Ghost to give us His enabling grace that we may follow them in all those ways of pleasantness in which they followed Jesus Christ, in all those paths of peace in which they walked with God, "until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over and our work is dOne;" until
 ''The seae% elements rage' the fend voices that Shall change. shall become first peace out of pain,
 Then light then ef thy breast shall And with God be the rest"
