he has not suffered to any extent from
the rough treatment TO which he has
just been subjected. Something like
a snake is under his foot-he puts his

not havs to devise the way, only as to
the immediate necessities of the case in

to point to the pages of Holy writ. where
you will find recorded in unm.stakable

National life. and the same high CHRIS
tan motives should dominate the hearts
and souls of us all. We reverently bow
before the true and living God, who if

what different as our observations vary.

the current of adversely and is fast drift
ing towards an unfortunate end; Que has
become famous. and his name now shines
in great letters upon life's canvas. while
another turks in small type among the
supernumeraries. But not so. dare say
with those who have enlisted in the ranks
of your beautious sisterhood. There is
strength in the unity that enables you to
sit before me one united band of sisters
with lives wholly consecrated to service
founded on a sympathetic love. My
friends. let ME tell you. that so long as
your aims are high. purposes lofty and
endeavors united. success will surely
crown your efforts and victory will truly
perch upon your banner. | trust no dis

monious cords OF your perfect love, and
every name enlisted under your ensign is
