This was a solemn hour In Ills life;
1t was fitting that a climax should be
reached, that would seal with divine
approval his devotion to God during

his supplications for the redemption
of Israel through the coming of the
Messiah, which all pious lsraelites had
always offered. Jehovah had surely
remembered his faithful servant who
was to be greatly flonored by becom-

The birth of "a son was the signal for
JOY and gladness with exultation;
more so was it to be in the case of
John who was to be "the gift of Jeho-

There were so many priests in at

everyone to have the privilege to burn
incense within the holy place; and no
one was permitted to do this twice.
1t was therefore a memorable day in
the life OF priest, when he drew the
white stone which announced that he
had been honored to enter the sanctu-
airy on behalf of the people. The in
cense was burned twice day, at nine
in the morning and three in the after
Eoon; and lots were cast among the
priests twice every day to decide who
should engage in this important serv-

COMFORTABLE HOUSE DRESSES.

Work dresses, those worn about the
house, are really models of comfort
and neatness this season. They are
new on the market. and the gar
ments are taking the place of the old
time Mother Hubbard wrappers.
The sleeves of these dresses are
three-quarter length, so that they
will not have to be rolled up or PIN
ned back. giving freedom in the use
of the arms without fear of getting
the dress soiled. Many of the dresses
have regular roll collars or those OF
the Dutch variety.
