the Saviour has descended to earth as
He came long ago an infant in Beth

Soon 1t is all over. One by one the
people silently steal away. The priest
revently departs. And He who wept
is once more alone. Alone! A sympa.
thetic friend out of all tho multitude
ever and anon finds his way to the feet
OF Jesus. the little lamp ceases not to
flicker as it burns itself away in love,
but for all else Jesus is alone.
Oh. may We not we'll imagine Him
saying: Man, man. why do you thus
abandon me? Why do you thus care
lessly pass me by? Why do you thus
leave me alone? Is it for this l con.
sented always to remain on earth ?
This solitude crushes me. This lone
illness brushes my heart. Oh, man,
man, come to me. to my comfort now,
and I will be your solace for eter-

Just Smile and Forget.
Oh, do not be discouraged, little heart
This world is not Il wilderness oj
And if sometimes it's brambles catcl
and tear.
Don't let the scratches vex you So
For all the little worries that befall,
The small vexations that so grieye
and fret,
Tomorrow they will vanish into air;
Then smile, dear heart, just smile
and then forget.
And If today the skies are overcast,
Somewhere we know the sun is shin
ing still;
Its silver radiance brims the lowering
clouds,
And we may catch its glory If we
will.
And it is good to strive though we
should fail,
And good 1t Is to suffer and be
strong:
And if we lift our faces to the light,
The darkest day will ring to even
song.
And when our feet are weary. and

More toilsome seems with every
passing day,
To share our every burden, little heart,
The Helper walks beside us all the
way.
