Golden Text: She Hath Done What
She Could. Mark 1873.
AnOint Jesus rs Mary Did.
One Of the most tender stories in
connection with the life OF Jesus is
told in our scripture lesson. Il is the
amounting Of Jesus feet by Mary. the
devoted disciple. She loved him so
that no gift was sufficiently costly
with which 20 express her love. and
she bought a pound OF very precious
ointment for a large sum OF money.
and with IL anointed the feet OF her
master, and wiped them with the
hair Of her head. Happy is the man
who. following the example Of Mary.
Gnoints Jesus with his most precious
gifti We do this by bestOwing our
love on him or upon others with
whom Jesus makes common cause.
When we are lavish in our love Of

Fall and Revelation.

''It's rather confused in here" said
the man, "but we will soon get out
toward the end and then the view is
magnificent. You can see up and down
the river for miles and the night boat
will be along in few minutes
isn't that it," asked the woman,
pointing up the river to where a clus-
ter of lights rounded huge bend not
far away, and swung out in midstream.
"Yes," said the man, eff we listen I
think we can hear her."
They both stopped and, sure enough,
family across the water came the
noise of clanking paddles Of the big
river steamer. With that sound also
mingled the song Of the night wind,
for wonder comparatively gentle,
making strange, weird harmonies as it
sifted through the taut and rigid bars
of steel. She listened enchanted with
the sound.
The big floor beams extended from
one side to the other Of the bridge,
between the trusses at intervals of
fifty feet. At right angles to them and
six feet apart, the stringers ran length
ways parallel to the trusses. Here and
there pieces of timber falsework had
been thrown across the stringers for
the convenience Of the workmen, but
as these two slowly moved toward mid
stream at last these pieces became
fewer, and finally there was nothing
to be seen but the heavy floor beams
and the lighter stringers.
After they passed the top Of the pier
and got beyond the small space Of
river bank on which the pier was set,
there was nothing between them and
the water, now moonlit and quivering,
except these cross-girders Of steel on
either hand beyond the planking in the
tracks

In spite of herself the woman looked
ht him.
"But nowY' she whispered as he hes

half fearful of his answer.
II am almost afraid to say it." he
said, lowering his voice to match her
own.
"A soldier Of STEEL" she said, land
afraid!''
"Well, then, all that was the second
now takes the third place."
"And before your father comes?"
But she did not give him time to an.
swer. "Come," she said, "let us go out
on the BRIDGE"

little slippers you wear"
He looked down, and as if in obedl.

''Never mind the slippers" she said
"they are stronger than they look.
They'll serve"
"But the distance between here and
the bridge is inches deep in dust"
"Dust!" she exclaimed in dismay.
II don't mind rough walking, but
DUST
II never thought of that" admitted
the man. "The fact is I have thought
