royalty treated. Gertrude $ accompa- hist was girl of near her own age and fine pianist. She is dear girl who like ourselves, must hustle to make ends meet.
 As looked out of the window Ia menting that was so far from nome on such dreary day, l saw fiat piece of driftwood It was continually washed up on the beach and 1t seem ed to say: Al last am at rest. In another second the waves reached up and washed it out again. loSseo over and over, and again fl was waited up on the sand for a little respite. Sometimes it would cling 10 the pier only to be dragged out and buffeted again. How like our human exist ence. Just when we conclude that we have worked out all of our life problems, mountains of perplexities loom up to awe us, when if we only trust implicitly in Gods love and guild ance it makes the mountain move in- to the sea of nothingness. All Sum mer while was away was made very unhappy at times over the thought that had tc move to other rooms because of increased rent. all of which did not feel prepared to meet, but all the while l tried to realize, like Daniel, that God was the Father of us all and provided all good for us and if had to move there was better place already prepared for me. It is easy enough to get rooms. but getting in respectable quarters is quite another affair and always de- test moving.
 When landed back was met with open arms. The girl was set to cleaning my room while we were re- freshed in the sitting room with lenon- ade and cake. See 1 manufactured my own torture by looking at fear. There was in reality no greed nor in justice for me to fear There is noth- ing but love ever manifested to us.
 Last night at 80 o'clock as we reached Berkeley Ave. on our way home from orchestra practice the step down from the car to the street (which is dug up for paving) was i'm mense. A gentleman leaped off and offered me his hand. saw his form but not the hand so laid my hand on his shoulder and leaped down remark ing at the same time: "i1ow nice of you to aid us. Gertrude in the meantime did her leaping and ran off down the street calling: Mother, mother come, how do you know but he will hold you upa" Such a thought never entered my mind. | have never needed assistance in any way, time or place, that did not get it. The man crossed the street at once last night after he saw me safely on the side walk. l try to feel all the time that God is with me and his power is sufficient for my protection and supply and l never yet have look ed to him in vain.
 see Mrs. Jackson is dead. Her sister was David Jackson's first wife and the second patient pr. Bates had in Brinkley. Nanny Craddock be- came mortal enemy of pr. Bates because he tied a rope across the front door 10 keep visitors cut so Mir. Jackson could rest. Nanny deemed herself privileged character. When she shouted she hugged everything in sight. Perhaps if pr. Bates had been available on such occasions he might have had her forgiveness. She haul ed pr. Bates and Joe Crenshaw up in court once because their dogs had killed her ducks. Joe Crenshaw told her if she had asked him nicely to pay for the duck it would have been all right. Did you want me to kiss you sira" said Nanny. "Ex-c-u-s-e me said Joe as he eyed her snuff stick and hard wrnkled face pr. Bates--for a wonder-did not own a dog at that time, yet the hu- man mind was so blind to justice that Dr. Bates had to pay for the ducks that Joe Crenshaws dog ate. Those were days of hit or miss, mirth and glory.
