And the minister fell upon his
knees, and repeated the Litany,
and the men cried as he went on,
in that earnest duplication.
The vessel was saved, of
course. (That's faith
A young woman of large in
come was very earnest in good
works, a splendid, faithful worker
devoting very largely of her time,
strength and her money to the
poor and the sick.
She was a good church woman
in every sense, lovely and ami
able.
One day a sick stranger sent
to her home requesting her pres
ence at once, as she was very i'll.
On entering the lady's bedroom
she found her all tossed about,
and she instantly said, did they
tell you? l am dying; oh, pray
for me, tell me how I can be
saved" The young lady was be-
wildered. "You must pray, you
know, and read the Bible"
She, herself, did not know how
to pray for that poor woman,
from her own heart. The lady
said," Oh, I don't know how to
pray. What shall do? What
shall I do?"
The young girl said, 81 will run
and bring the clergyman" mo,
no." said the woman; "you pray,
you tell me how; I don't want
the minister" Shortly after, she
breathed her last.
Moral A prayer-book is the
right thing in the right place, and
often keeps the thoughts from
wandering.
Up to the present time, barring
the little tremors mentioned, the
canal zone has been remarkably
free from earthquakes. But there
always turks the dread that some
day seismic disturbance will
undo the work of millions of dol
lars, thousands of men and sew
eral years. The greatest danger
to the canal would be at the locks
of Gatun, Paraiso and Miraflores.
Construction men, employed at
Gatun, have stated openly that
the massive concrete locks being
built at that point continually are
settling, causing large cracks to
appear.
