A Substantial Existence.

The pastor of well-known Boston
church was calling a short while ago
on a dear old lady, one of the Pill
lars" of the church to which they
both belonged. Looking upon her
sweet, motherlv face, which bore few
tokens of her SO years of earthly pill
grimage, he was moved to ask her:
"My dear Mrs. Adams, what has been
the chief source of your wonderful
strength and sustenance during all
these years? What do you consider
has been the real basis of your extra,
ordinary vigor of mind and body, and
has been to you an unfailing comfort
through joys and sorrows which must
come to all of Gods creatures? Tell
me, that l may pass the secret to
others, and, if possible, profit by it
myself"
The good pastor waited with I'M
usual eagerness for the old lady's re-
ply, which she gave, after a moments
reflection, while her kindly old eyes
were dimmed with tears.
"Victuals," she answered, briefly. -
