strength there Is wasted in fretting
and worrying over things that may

that God gives us, and the strength
that He bestows upon US. we are
making the best preparation for the
future, and how frequently we dis
cover that the things we dreaded,
after all, were not so terrible.
THE hour of weakness will bring
the secret of strength. In darkest

There is a pile of stones on the
side of q mountainyin the Rockies, al
most under the shadow of Pixies
Peak, that has become a shrine, and
is visited by very many tourists. The
custom is for each visitor to place
two stones upon the pile and take one

world, but q new power came into
her life. Christ found her and drew
her out of herself into the largeness
of humanity. She devoted herself to
the welfare of the oppressed and neg

lished articles, preached the good
news and gave her life to the service
of God and the cause of humanity.
And the name of Helen Hunt Jack

as long as there is Red Man on the
earth.
"That is the reason people visit
the shrine out yonder in the Rockies.
She might have died with her grief
but that grief became simply the
means of drawing her into Christian
service.
This is not a matter of fancy, but
matter of fact. We hear Christ say

corning the things of tomorrow, for
the morrow will be anxious for it.
