 Las week my watchword was faith Ter day I am thinking of hope. Faith is the basis of all hope. and so per- hapS it is natural that hope should think the Idlsr viii follow these two papers with dissertation on charity That Is subject too widely known and understood for one so tnn1gnih- cant as your humble servant to nn- dertake. but faith and hope are within reach of ordinary minds, and happily Is he whose life is pervaded with hope, for without it sad. indeed. is the state of anyone.
 dition of the oriental women, whose life in heathend0m has no hope for any future We are told that in the case of all old women the hopeless sad story in strong contrast to those who have become chrfetfanized, the latter being conspicuous for the se- renity of their faces. Why should among many. for they have a hope denied all others Of their race.- and to them the change of mental condition seems so great. that we. who have al that hope, can never know its value What is ours by inheritance and has been known to us from babyho0d IS so thoroughly part of our being that
 
 We used always to connect hope with something tns the future, and said "wi11' in speaking of the event, We hope 1t will be pleasant. hey hope the money will come to,day; G vance of its forebears and says, hope 1t does not rain. We hope the train is not late, Those are the peo- pie who live in the present. and I'm not sure but they have the right of 1t. We are told that to-morrow never comes, so perchance they are correct in making sure of o-day
 Talking of the Orient sets me thinking of China and it's new repub- lie. Hope deferred seems to be their portion. and still they keep up their belief that their cause is good and hope for the desired recognition from other nations. Why is it delayed, ! a year what we took eight years more or less to do when that snuffy old 5rone from the German hive ruled England How much longer time the French consumed before their repub- lie could be accounted successful!
 The Chinese have shown ability wisdom, and a wonderful generosity towards the Manchu dynasty what flag the color of it's bitterest foe. or so respectfully treated the represen- tative of that house in their midst Had King George been on this side of the ocean, think you he WOuiG LisV 2 been so Ieniently dea1th with? What became of the head of the French when the power came into his oppon- ent's hands? Really 1 do feel that the Chinese republic deserves better treatment at the hands of the strong CT powers in the world was about to say the more enlightened powers, but I am not sure that term apples to their case
 Tn all our everyday affairs we are sustained and helped by the hope or better things in store for us. Are we weary in the performance of our daily task? We hope for an easier time to come. Are we disappointed at the in some way the failure will be fol- lowed by success which win counter balance the failure.
 Without this uplifting hope how would any of the great Inventions of the world have been brought to per- lection? What of Franklin, or Morse, or Fulton? What of Edison or Mar conf? What of the pioneers of the West? Why I feel reverence for those daring sou1ds who were so ani- mated by hope that they could form homes in the wilderness far away
