I want to commend the reading Of
Olive Schreiner's The Hunter" 1t is in
her book Of Dreams" and in her STORY
OF an African Farm" 1t Is too long to
tell here, but 1t conveys the story OF
patience, which finds at last. even here,
some measure of reward. and which as
sures the worker and the Christian Of
final and complete delight.
For our lesson today it may be we'll for
US to see some of the causes which lead
to Impotence. lookin.. at their remedies,
and then to count our mercies and see
how God Is good to us, even while He
withholds the fullness of happiness until
another life shall dawn. We must al
ways remember that it is largely our
own fault that we suffer through i'm
patience, and that in this world there is
much of delight in spite of unrealized
ideals and deferred joys. Even the sad
dest soul can find here and now great
pleasures. and we have no right to sink
GOWN into gloom ana misery, LOT uOu
has given US infinite delights to carry US
on their wings and lift us to the high at
mosphere wherein the Christian should
find his home.
A friend told me the other night Of his
experience. He was coming late from
q business meeting. 1t had been long
and seemingly Improbable discussion.
and his heart was hot and restless and
his spirit oppressed by heavy loneliness.
He just saw himself. Then as he looked
up he saw the stars shining with that
wonderful glow which is theirs at mid
night, and at once the message came:
"Ah, there Is a God and He knows and
| cares. 1t is His great life. this life OF
man, and 1t is His world, and He is
working and He has purpose. Why be
impatient at a moments seeming delay.
What though the way is terribly lonely
and not one soul in all the earth knows
| or understands or speaks a word! There
| Is God. Is it not enough that He knows
and understands and that He has thy
life in His keeping. and that His love
fails not and that His hand touches and
blesses, and that He has a word OF
praise? oh. my soul, trust Him and be
glad and wait patiently. What a mes
sage that was. And we can all have a
like message IL we will.

A Lesson From Two Dogs.

DR.. wilfred T. Grenfell. the hero who
Is devoting his life to the interests OF
the deep-sea fishermen OF the Labrador
coast, was once describing the dogs OF
one OF the sledge teams on which he
depended to get from point to point in
the long winter months Moody he spoke
of as 'lop-ear black and tan, q plodder
that never looked behind him." and OF
Jack he said that he always ran near
the sledge and never looked back, but
everlastingly pulled straight ahead, yum
ming always with his nose to the ground"
We need to learn lesson from those
dogs. They had their work to do and
they did it, turning aside for nothing.
They have their recognition in the praise
Of their master. We know our duty and
we should do 1t patiently. thoroughly.
faithfully. We, too. shall have the praise
Of our Master. for He stands ready to
say to us. We'll done, good and faithful
servant, enter thou into the Joy of thy
Lord" and to give to US the crown Of
life reserved for those who are faithful.

We do not care very much for the crown
If only we can have the Christ! But the
richness of the JOY of seeing Him depends
upon our patience and our faith here.
And then comes the final joy Of being
perfect at last! The hardest thing to bear
here on earth is the consciousness of our
imperfection. Even when we try we are
sensible enough to know how we fail TO
be and do exactly as we ought. And we
are dimly aware, even in our hours OF
mastery, that perchance we have not done
the right thing. though we longed to do

Taking Others With Him.

When Huong-Ngan recovered he began
once more to seek the missionaries. His
trips were now made at night, for he
thought 1t was unwise to anger his
friends unnecessarily. After a while
however, he came to understand that If
he would be a true follower of Christ
he must win others to Him, so he began
to plead with friends to go with him to
about Jesus. In time number OF vii
layers accompanied him in his night
journeys to Yom Moi. Learning of the
pilgrimages, the magistrate Of the viii
lage. before whom the case was brought,
condemned the faithful man to death.
One night a gang of ruffians broke into
the converts house and dragged him

Today is Passion Sunday. and marks
the beginning Of the most solemn part

made the heart glad in spite of all the

the great day Of Armageddon may have

have little pity for its death. while all
about the gates Of Heaven will surge the

By the Churchman.

UST at the moment when the re-
ligious papers were chorusing the
lament that the requests and gifts
OF rich men are going for educa-
y tional, scientific and art purposes,
a sensation has been created by the un-
precedented will of John S. Kennedy, the
aged New York banker, which gives away
nearly $50. OOO. 600. chiefly to religious OBJ
1ects, the Presbyterian denomination, OF
which he was member faring best.
The largest single donation to foreign
missions ever made Is Mr. Kennedy's be-
quest Of 81, $4,000 to the Presbyterian
board Of foreign missions. He bequeathed
a like amount to the board Of home mis-
sions and a similar sum to the board of
church erection. The New York Presby-
terian Hospital. which had already re-
ceived a million from Mr.. Kennedy, now
has an added $2,25O. 600. Roberts College.
Constantinople. gets 81. 500.000. an equal
amount going to the Presbyterian church
extension committee OF New York. which
practically means q r-million-dollar
beauest to home missions. The Ameri-
can Bible Society and the Presbyterian
college board each get $75O,OO0. For or
ganised charity in New York city $3.50
600 is given. Other large gifts were made
to colleges.

The Conversion of q Village.

But the remarkable sequel is to be
noted. 1t was not long till one after an
other Of the friends OF Huong-NgaE
sought the missionaries and told their
desire to be Christians Yen Cuse is now

Gods blessing On the faithful persistence
of one man who would not be turned
aside from what he felt to be right, even
when death stared him in the face. He
won the crown OF life promised to those
who are faithful unto death. and It Is a
crown set with many gems, each one
representing soul won by his faithful
ness.
There is a message for men and women
in America in the experience OF the con-
vert from heathenism. We must go on.
