her to begin this work And 30 the
school was started.
Contrary to her friends predictions,
1t did not lack for pupils. They came

her favorites She could not help
that. She had already selected in her
mind band OF a dozen young women
who were TO be trained to carry on
and extend her work. She chose them
from among her most studious girls.
The six months course ended, and
when the new term began, Miss
Frances, back from New York, where
she had been explaining her idea be-
fore the Chautauqua conference, dis
covered to her dsmay that nearly
every face was new. And It was evil

In fact, OF the little Bisterhood on
whom she had built such high and
dazzling hopes only Pauline Ditton had
remained faithful to her trust Pauline
was sixteen, quiet, gentle girl, not
brilliant, but an enthusiast about the
future Naturally Miss Frances made
her her confident during that term.

an exquisite 10y keen incentive to further serv-
ice In the encouragement which God In his In
finite goodness grants to from time TO time.
and that In spite OF all the imperfections OF our
love and service? Why, then, should we not look
forward to our great reward-Gods approval?
II we truly love him. should we not strive with
all our might for his final We'll done? Surely 1t
is not wrong to look forward to the JOY Of that
assurance even while we are fully aware OF our

we learn to know more, and to think more. OF the
love which, seeing the intention gives us credit
