THE STORY.

Quiet. almost to death-like still
ness, had settled down upon the camp.
1t was startling contrast to the tur-
MOL and strife of the afternoon, and
Moses as he stole out of the camp and
sought the solitude alone marveled at
the change. So rapidly had the events
OF the afternoon before developed, and
SO intense had been the feeling mani
tested both by the people as they clam
ored for water, and the elders as they
sought to restore order and quiet, that
he had not had time or opportunity to
Tealize the meaning Of it all. But as
he passed along through the camp
sleeping so peacefully, the whole scene
passed before his vision again Could
1t be that 1t was only that afternoon
that they had come to that place?
Gould 1t be that but few hours be-
fore the people were crying loudly for
water and threatening him because
there was none to be had?
In their frenzy, they utterly forgot
that God was in their midst" Moses

land now that their thirst has been
satisfied they care not for the won
derful manifestation of Gods power"
and he sighed heavily as he thought
how slow the people were to believe
aud TO understand Gods dealings with
them.
That morning they had gathered the
mamma as usual and been satisfied to
the full, but when they had drunk the
last OF their water they began to fret,
and to declare that they would surely
die Of thirst there in the wilderness,
forgetting utterly that the God who
had supplied food could also supply
them with water Then as the day
had worn away and no water was
found the murmuring became more and
more open, until at last when the
Cloud settled down and the tents were
pitched and no water was in sight, the
anger of the people broke forth as we
have already stated.
Sleep had long since come to the rest
in the camp of Israel, even Aaron
yielding to the bodily fatigue, but his
own heart was so singularly stirred
that he felt no inclination to seek his
couch. For long time he sat alone
before his tent, watching the stars as
they came forth one by one, and ever
anon letting his eyes rest upon the /
glowing pillar which hung above the
camp. but at last moved by some
strange impulse he had arisen and
passed out Of the camp

ton was he that he was utterly nm

A house party is a simple affair. II
one have a house large enough to &C
commodate a number of guests at one
time. Abroad or in the south or any
where outside of our great northern
cities, where homes are crammed into
tiny quarters. it is easy enough to be
hospitable and to entertain ones
friends on comparatively large
scale.
In the summer if one have a good
sized home with grounds about it. it
seems positive duty as well as a real
pleasure to ask a group of friends to
come and tarry for the weeks end
or Tor ten days or fortnight under
ones roof. If the party consist almost
exclusively of young men, they will
not mind a little crowding, and impro-
vised beds may be made for them in
living rooms and Libraries. A hostess
