TO secure a divorce so that she might
be free. The letters, which were part
of the evidence in proof of this latter
charge, were written by Mrs. Reed

There were many witnesses on each side,

audience in roar of laughter. At last
the foreman OF the jury brought in q

What day was most happy in all my life;
What most with sorrow and suffering rife?
Ali to tell of them would be hard for me,
Though so fresh they gather in memory;
IT'S only for pencil Of mine to portray
The joys and fears of the common day.
The common day on the dear old farm,
Where hands are busy and hearts are warm,
IT'S a farmers kitchen, wide and clean,
The fire, new lit, crackles its bars between,
The mother moves swiftly to and fro
In her dress of plain, dark calico.
Her hand is light and her eye is mild,
And her smile like that Of q little child.
She turns the bacon, and cuts the bread,
And quaint old tune runs through her head,
ssWhen the wind blows, the blossoms fall,
But good God reigns over all"
rTis simple creed of a trusting heart.
But it holds while years and hopes depart,
So she sings as she works, and sings again,
And goes to the doorstep to call the men,
Clear and strong is her voice Away,
That led the choir on long gone day.
And the good man hears, and smiles to hear
The same, sweet voice that then was dear,
And he calls his boys, and they gather in
With joke, and whistle, and merry din.
And the fragrant coffee is quaffed in haste,
For October days have no hours to waste,
And the huskers are out with rising sun,
And scarce when he sets is their labor done.
'Tis busy life, you will say; It's SO;
And happy life, as their faces show,
And the clear, pure air, and their healthy toll,
Shall make them the Lords Of the virgin soil,
Tho they labor till dark, and from early morn,
Who so proud king on his load Of corn;
His sons and daughters around him stand
Like a bulwark, for home and for native land,
His life of toll, when It's past away,
Shall show us the force OF the common day.

No Longer an Apology Needed.


Rev. w. W. Rogers in his farewell
address at Sydney as president of the
New South Wales union, speaking on
Christian Endeavor's progress, said:
christian Endeavor has no longer
to apologize for itself or to justify its
existence as an innovation. 1t re-
mains for us to maintain that justifi-
cation which we have won by loyalty
to the first principles. Christian En-
deavor had a hard battle to enter some
churches. 1t has not yet entered some.
There was negro in one of the south
ern states of America named Rastus,
who wanted to enter the church and
asked permission of the pastor. He
said, Z think you had better go home
and pray about it for fortnight
At the end of that time the negro re-
turned, but he did not look very hap
by, and the pastor said, We'll, Rastus,
what does the Lord say about itY
Rastus answered: The Lord said:
well, 1t amt no use your trying to
enter that church. have been trying
to enter it twenty years myself and
have not got in, so what chance have
you?'' And when / see Christian En-
deavor kept outside and churches shut
their doors to it I wonder whether the
Lord has got in vet. At any rate,
know this, Of course-churches that
have not Christian Endeavor societies
are not necessarily unevangelistic. but
standing in the forefront Of the evan
relistic churches in our city are those
that nurture and welcome Christian
Undeavor enterprise"
