God puts within our reach the pow.
er OF holpfulness. the ministry Of pity;
he is CveI ready to increase his grace
In u hearts, that as we live and act
among all the sorrows Of the world
we may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery Of consolation. IF ye
know these things. happy are We II ye
do them" There is no surer way Of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise OF pity; nc happier
temper Of mind and work than the
lowly watching to see Il we can lessen
any misery that Is about us; nor IL
there any better way Of growth In
faith and love.-Francis Paget.

who had got aboard the Nicosian and
offered to surrender. 3t
Count Won Bernstorf has had poor
luck with affidavits. He does not seem
to have great skill in detecting the true

filed by him at Washington is now ad-
