DESTINY.

There is a day of destiny at hand
For every man and woman; such a goa
Appears transcendent to each striving
Who gladly pays the tax God doth com
mand.
Such tribute covers years of patient strife
AND all who seek to gain the topmos'
round
Must climb a ladder planted on rough
Braced firmly 'gainst the bulwark, highe,
life.
The first rung's made of substance darb
The touch of which doth cause most mer
to finch,
But, looking well ahead, their strong
hands clinch
High hopes, an aid which every man must
Gull.
Another brace upon lfe's long incline
Is selt-control; a quality of force
Which keeps man straight and firm on
his fixed course,
With fortitude which surely is divine.
'"Thy will be DONE" the toiler prays each
night,
Yet prays that God may grant him
strength of will
To climb life's ladder step by step, unit,
The conqueror's prize is VOL by right and
might.
Discretion, valor, constancy and skill
Lead to the highest state man can
achieve;
And all who know the victor must be.
lieve
That worth and virtue conquer by Gods
will.

What is Sin?

1t is noteworthy that in a recent
volume of the Oxford Library OF
Practical Theology" Rev. Leighton
Pullen, in dealing with the subject
of the Atonement, commences with
the study of the nature Of sin. In
regard to this prominence, an able
critic has aptly remarked that 1T IS
~purposeless to discuss Atonement IN
less that for which Atonement is to
be made has been Defined" a fact
which many teachers belittle or ig-
more. The writer of the treatise says
very truly:
There is an extremely close con-
nection between the shallow and
semi Christian theology now popular
and a shallow estimate of sin Il re-
pentarce; and 1t must be expected
that if men are ignorant OF their
own characters, and are satisfied that
they need no repentance, they Will De
content with a Christ of their "
standardization Christian.

CHAPTER VI.
A TrySt.

Beside the pleasant mill at
Trumpington,' says Wordsworth, I'VE
laughed with Chaucer in the haw-
thorn shade" but it was with no ex-
pectation of merriment that Miss So
phia Gilbert, accompanied by her
faithful waiting maid, Jeanette,
took her way thither that May after
noon. The first time she had visited
the place was at a little picnic during
the long vacation, with Aunt Maria
and a few friends, and there by acct
dent she had first met with Herbert
Perry. Six months ago she had
adOred the man, of whom she was
the clandestine wife; and now-now
she hardly dared TO say to herself
what she thought OF him, with what
adherence she looked forward to a
future which must be linked with his,
with what apprehension and dismay
she pictured the immediate conse-
quence CT his %obstinacy and rashness,
should he persist in his present be-
havior. Yet it was curious that she
felt more angry with herself for her
folly than with him for his cruelty;
and as every now and then she
stopped by the waters side and gazed
on her own image she murmured as
before, You fool! you mad and
wicked fool"
She had reached the end of the
peninsula and was about to turn
when the silver beat of a paddle
struck upon her ear; in that very
time and place it had once been mu-
sic to her, but now she shivered as
though it was a passing bell.
He is coming said Jeanette, in
a warning voice.
AS if she did not know that! as if
she did not see, though her face was
still averted, the little boat gliding
swiftly up the stream impelled by
those sinewy arms, and the shapely
head with its crisp brown locks, and
the form that had once been as Apol-
los to her eyes, but was now odious
as ~Apoliyon's.
The canoe shot noiselessly to the
bank, and he stepped out to meet her
with a feeting smile.
We'll" he said, Il am come, and
with all the caution that an Indian
uses in one of Cooper's novels, but
! tell you fairly that am tired OF all
this shying and Sinking, and mean
to put ar end to it."
She had held out her hand, but he
had taken no notice of it; his face
was flushed, not with the exercise he
had taken, for such feats were feath-
erweights with him, but, as she was
well aware, with anger.
IF we are going to talk" he said,
/ looking toward Jeanette, though
nothing you ear say will make any
difference / promise you, there had
