Mrs. Dulcimer Mt that things were working round delightfully toward the realization of bar matrimonial scheme. 'I look upon it an quite a settled matter Rebecca,' sbo said, one morning, when tbo all-important factotum wna polishing the side-board, familiarly known as Uucte John. * Haring the chimaeys swept again boforo Christmas ? yes, mum,' driving her feather vigorously buck and forward across the shining wood. ’Tbey'l want it. We begun fir>-s extra early thia year, and master do pile an tho wood and coals—as if he wonted to keep himself in miud of Bloody Mary's martyrs st Smiffell, and show bis thnnkfulneu that God made him a Protestant.’ * I wasn't talking of tbo chimneys, Rebecca. I WHS thinking of Mr. Culverhoune Bolin conld not ask her to name one of tbo tbousaud, though ebe w<»uld have been very glad to get more Jetniied iofonns- lion. Again Bella’s eyes sought the fire, nod again she OAVB a little cepreiewd sigh. Her father bad been espccinlly disagreeable lately—there lm<l been difficulties about Lilia and taxes; life at home was a perpetual warfare at such times. Mrs. Piper had been ailing for tho last fortnight; her tern- per had been ailing too. The Piper children were dense and insolent. Existence WAS altogether a trial. Bella thought of Beataix Harefield’a smooth life in lue beautiful Water House, with its lights and stmdows, its old-world comfort, its retinue of well-trained s.rvants. A dull life,- no doubt, but » paradise of rest. As a child Bi-lla bod been envious of her playfellow, but since both girls had grown to woman, hood, envy had assumed a darker fine, black a^ the juice of the cutlkfiuh. which darkens all it tenches. ‘ Ikcl me herring-bone those flannels for you, dear Mrs. Dulcimer,' Bella said at last, rousing herself from he> reverie ; and presently the needle WAS flying swiftly backward and forward as Miss ScratcbcH’s fair bead Lent over her work. Slio tried to bo lively, feeling it incum bent on her to o mu so her kind patroness; and the two women prattled on about ser vants and gowns and bonnets and Ibe usual feminine subjects till four o'clock, when it was too dark for any more work, and they conld only talk on by the red glow of the fire till it pleased tho omni potent Rebecca to bring lamps and candles. The Vicarage dining-room was charming by this light. Tho blocks of books; tho shelves of old china; Uncle John's portly aideboaid standing out with a look of hu- man corpulence in the ruddy glow, and shining with a polish tket did credit to Rebecca; Amit Tabitha’s mahogany bnrenu glittering with brassy ornamentation ; the sombre crimson of tho well-worn curtains giving depth of tone to tho picture. Y'es, it was a good old room in this changeful and uncertain light, nnd to Bella, after the discords and disorders of home, it seemed an exquisite haven of repose. There had been <>hl.fastiii>Ded folding-doors between the dining-room and library, but these Mr. Dulcimer bad removed, replacing them with thick cloth curtains, which made it easier for him to pass from reom to room, The clock bad struck four, and Mrs. Dulcimer was beginning to foci sleepy, when a ring at tho houso doer put her ou the al.rt. ' I wonder who it Is,' slis Said in an under-tone, as if tho visiter might hear her outside the hall door. ’It isn’t Clement, f.>r ho Las bis key. Aud it couldn't be any ordinary caller oa such an afternoon. I dare say it’s Mr. Culverbouse, coms on parish basincM.' Belta had made tho same speculation, and her boart was beating painfully fast. ' If it is, I'll draw him out,' whispered the Vicar's wife. *Uh, pray, pray, dear Mrs. Dabimcr, don't dream of such a thing—' ■ Sb, my dear,' whispered Mrs. Dulci mer. 'don't you ba frightened. I am not going to oompromho you. I hope I have more tact than to do such a thing as that. But I ehall draw him out. I won't bava him trillo with yiui any longer. He shall bo made to speak Lis mind.’* Dear Mrs. Dalcimcr. I beg—'' Mr, Culvcrhoute, mum.’ announced Rebecca. ’He wanted to see master, but bo says you'll du. I've shown him into tho Jibcry.’ Mra. Dulcimer roso without a word, squeezed Bella’s hat d, pm her finger on her lip mysterious'y, and passed through into tho next room, dropping the curtains behiud her, and leaving Bella alone in the dining-room. She grew pale and trembled a imie as she crept toward tba curtains. * I think sho must mean me to listen,' she said to herself, and sho took her stand just by tbo central line where the two curiums met.Mr. Calverbonsa had come to beg help for some of his pa >r people. Widow Wat- san's little boy bad falleu into the fire while liis mother was out getting her little bit of washing parsed through a neighbor's mangle, and there was old linen wanted to dress bis wounds, nnd a little wine, as be win very weak from the shock. Good. natured Mrs- Dulcimer ran off to bunt for the linen, and to get the wine from Rebec ca, and Cyril was left alone iu the library.Bulla stole back to her chair by the fire.

Sho beard Inm walking slowly up and down the library, deep in thought, no doubt. • If Mra. Dulcimer is right, he most be thinking of mi,' said Bella. ‘ I think of him all day long. He shuts everything else out of my ibonghte.'Presently Mrs. Duloraer came back. ‘ I have sent off a parcel of linen and name sherry,' »he said.■ A thousand thanks for your prompt kindness.

At a cost of about-n hundred and fifty । open hearth, and put u pair of enndivs on the (able near the fire, and wheeled acapacious tapestried arm-chair beside it, and pLced Sir Kenrick's slippers comtort- nbly in front of tho fender, BO that, in spite of its long disuse, the room bnd a home like aspect when he camo to it after his homely dinner. By this dim light the room looked lovely—all ila shabbiness bidden, all its beauties of form and color intensified, iho.figarcs in the Sue old tapes try standing ent in life-like roundness. Thesuua and Ariadne; Ariadna deserted; tha coming of Bacchus ; hymeneal feslivsl; nymphs and satyrs frisking against aback- ground of blue sea.

She was just the wife for the master of such a place ns CnlverlionRO. It seemed a Lard thing tbnt honor forbada bis putting Win- self forward as her suitor._ ' How do I know that she cares for Cyril?' he asked himself; 'and if she dues not, why should not I hare my chanco ?

It's the dnmp weather, I suppose. It always makes him dull.' ' Well, Rebecca,’ said Mra. Dulcimer, complacently. • If this marriage takes place soon, as I believe it will, I shall feel that I've been tho salvation of Bolin Scrat- cbell. If you conld seo her wretched home—’ ‘ I’ve seen Ibo maid-of-all-work,’ replied Rebecca, curtly; • that’s enough for mo. I've uo call to seo inside the house.'Hopefullj- as things were progressing in Mra. Dulcimer's estimation, tbo active bc- nefleonco of that amiable woman urged her to take some step wbicli should place matters on a more decided footing. Il was more than a month sin co she bad taken Cyril and Bella under her protection, and sho foil it was time tho gentleman should declare himself. Ho hud received every oneoumg»ment to speak—ho bad evidently been touched by Bella's efforts for Ibecood of her species. Ho admired Bella's taste and iudiistry, her neatness of attire and amis/lo manners. What more could La want ? •It's positively ridiculous of him to hang Lack in this wav,’ thought Mra, Dulcimer, irapntioot for action. ‘ But I have no doubt bis silence is tho result of shyness. Those reserved men are always shy. Ona gives them credit for pride, and they are suffering agonies of self-distrust ail tbo time,' Il is generally acffio combination of trifles which determines the great events of life. Mrs. Dnl.-in>«r was hurried into a lino of conduct more itnpeiuaus than sagacious by such a combination. First, it was a wet afternoon, which fact preventad tha Vifnr's wife going on a round of ccretu-mious calls iu her" Lost bonnet. Sha might have trusted Iter own body out in the Wet, leaving the accidental a cold in tho head to be dealt with by Rebecca, who was a wonderful hand at domestic medicine, and made gruel that w » almost a luxury; Lui sho conld not risk tho destruc tion of her new velvet bonnet and bird-oL paradise. Secondly. Mr. Dulcimer had gone to Great Yaffoid for a dny's leisurely prow! amoug tho second-hand book-shops, a recreation bis soul lovod. Hia absence made the Vicarage scam empty, and the day longer than usual. Mr?. Dulcimer ate her early dinner alone, and foil miserable. After dinner sho sent the boy to ask Deila ScralchcH to coiuo and Bpend the afternoon ami to biir.g her work, Tbc firo was lishted in the library, so that tho room might bo warm and cheerful on tho Vicar's return ; but Mrs. Dulcimer preferred her snug corner by the dining room hearth, where slio had a comfortable Rockingham ch nir, and a delightful lilllo Chippendale table. She opened her charity basket, took ont her pile ot baby clothes, and foil that with Bella to talk to slio could spend an agreeable afternoon, despite the incessant rain, wbicli camo down with a dismal drin, drip, on the sodded lawn, where the blackbirds were Inxnriatiug in the unusual ac cessibility of tha worm family. Bella’s rapid fingers were wont to be helpful, ton, wi»h (bo charity basket. She would lay aside her dainty strip of embroidery, and deviite herself to herring-boning flannel nr siitcliiug tn gussets with the most amiable alacrity.‘ You doar girl, to coma thmngh this abominable rain, ar.d euliven me,' exclaim ed Mra. Dulcitu«r. when Bella came in, looking very bright aud pretty after her rainy walk. ‘ I think I wou^d come tlirongh fire ns well ns water to eee you. dour Mrs. Dulcimer,' replied Bella, affectLmalrlv. 'I was guiug to sit with nnor Mary Smithers this afternoon— she is in n decline, yon know, and so patient. But, of course, I would rather come hero—' ' You dunr uusolfiell girt 1 And does Mr. Culverboune seem pleased with what you are doing for his people ?* •Very much. Hie face quite lights np when he comes into a cottage and finds me there.’ • Ah,' said Mra. Dulcimer, significantly. 'We all know what that means.'Bella sighed, and looked al th# fire. Her fool's paradise was a sweet place to dwell in, but there were times when the suspicion that it was only a fool’s paradise, after all, crepLIiko an ugly snake into tho EJeu of her mind.' ‘ Dear Mrs. Dulcimer,' she began, tbo light fol) v. after an interval of silence in which the Vicar’e wife had been trying to accomplish some mautaavre, almost as difficult aa squaring tba circle* with a brown paper pattern and an awkward bit of flannel, ‘YCu are too good to be so much interested in my welfare; but do yon know sometimes I fancy you are alto- gellter.mistaken—as to—as to Mr. Culver- house’s feelings? He is a!) that is kind to roe—he wpprobea of ray poor efforts to he useful—h* praises me—he i««m always glad to seo me—yet he has naver said a word that would imply—*•That will come nil at ones, all In a mo- meat,’ cried Mrs. Dulcimer, dicisively. ‘It did with Clement. I hadn’t the least idea that he was in love with me. My father was a bookworm, yon know, Ilka Mr. Dulcimer, and Clement used to come to our house a grant deal, and they were always talking of first pdMons and sacand editions —and Hack del ter l-o-As, and IncunAbnla— and a lot more stuff that I Hardly knew the meaning of. Aad one day Clamant eud- thing that could happen to her would bo to lie there and feel life ebbing gently away, light slowly fading to eternal darkneu. ' You astonish me,’ cried Mre.Daleimwrx mare indignant al the downfall of thia 1»M ncss—industry—good management.’• Dante found only one Beatrice,' aril Cyril, gravely, ' yet I have no doubt there wero plenty of women in Florence who conld saw on shirt buttons and make soup. I have found my Beatrice. I may never marry her, perhaps. But I aa> fixed for life. I abull never marry any one else.'A new life reinrned fo Bella’» lunba now. It was M if Che blood that had just now flowed so riagpishly through her terns wa» saddonly changed to quicksilver. Sho rose to her foet, and stood, white as * corpse, with her hands lightly douched r her lips drawn tightly together till they made only a tLin line of pallid vielet. The pretty Dresden china face WAB hardly recognizable. A sudden conviction had darted into her mind with Cyril’s utterance of that one word Beatrice. It wn a* if a flash of lightning bad revealed things close at hand, bnt wrapped in darkness till thi* moment. * I never was more snrprised in my life —or disappointed,’ faltered Mra.

I am » believer in tho old saying that marriage* are male in Leaven, and I have not much foiih in the wisdom of earthly matchmaking.' ‘But this was in every way so suitable,' harped Mra. Dulcimer. ‘ Belta u such a good girl—a model wife for a man whs Lea has to tmke bis wav in the world?• Heaven defend me from a model wife chosen for me by my frienda f ejaculated Cyril,• And yen have paid her so much »l* tention—you have bs*u so warmly interest ed in her parish work.'‘Not more tbau 1 shoo'd be fa any good work done by any good woman.

CHAPTER XIV. BELLA OVERHEARS A CONVERSATION. Never in her life bad Isabella Scra'chell been so happy as she was in these winter days which Beatrix spent in her solitary home, or in long lonely rides or drives across the moor. Isabella, whoso time had seldom been given to idleness, now worked day and night. She could not alto gether draw her help from the over-taxed empty stables protected from wind and | ruin ; the house preserved from actual de cay. And tbo place was ready to receive him when hn was able to come homo, were it but for a single nigbl. This, in Kenrick's mind, was much. Love of bia birth-place and pride of hia race were tba strongest points iu Kenrick's character; nnd Culvcrhouso was assuredly a Louie which a man, with any sense of the beautiful, might bn pardoned for loving to cntbtiriHSin. It had been an abbey before jhe days of the reformation, ami much that brfongrtl to those days still remained. Some portions bad been converted to secu lar uses, otlict parts had been preserved in what might be called a state of substantial ruin. And thia mixture of ecclesiastical ruins and Tudor dwelling-house made a most picturesque and romantic wnolo. The chapel door stood in nil its early Eu- link parity of line and moulding; but the chapel had given place to a sunny inclos ure; bounded by hedges of liuneyFUckle nnd Bwnct-brinr—a garden in which old- fashioned flowers grew luxuriantly in prim ‘ box-edged beds. Tim house was one of the handsomest in tho county. Much too good fora decayed race, old Sir Kenrick had always said; but young Sir Kourick held it as iu no wise too good for him. Ho would uot hove sold it for half a million, had be been free to sell it. Tho situation was perfect. It stood in a tortile green valley, on the bank of a river which, insignificant elsewhere, widen ed here to a noble reao i of water, and curved itself lovingly round tho velvet slopes of tho lawn. A long wooden bridge spanned tho river just beyond tbo old Gothic gateway of the castle, and com municated with tho village of Culverbonse, in which a population of a hundred and eighty souls fancied itself a world. Ken rick loved the place—castle, village, river, low.lying water meadows,ancient avenues, fair green fit Ids where Ihe foundation of the abbey bad been marked out with rows of stones, a stone for each pillar id nave nnd aisles, chancel and apse—ho loved all these tilings with a love that was almost a passion. His lunrt thrilled within him when he came back to the familiar scene after a year or more of exile. His nature, not too warm elsewhere, warmed to tho old goodies and gaffers of CulvevkouDO village with an unalterable tenderness. Poor as he was. ho bad always etray sixpences and shillings in bis wsirtcoat pocket to giro these ancient rustics for beer, or tea, or snuff. He could listen to their stories of rhcumatica and other afflictions with infinite patience. Their very dialect was dear to him. If Kenrick hod lived in tho Middle Ages, and been exposed to visible contact with tbo powers of darkness, 'MepUfttophelcs would have assuredly bated his hook with tbo Cui ver house estate. ' Here aie tbo money bags,' he would have said; ‘sign me this bond, and Culvrr- h<iUM is yours, free of the mortgages that now degrndo and humiliate your race. For twenty years yon may icigH securely in the Dulin of'your ancestors, aud thoa Perhaps Konriek might have had. tho force of mind to refuse frankly so diaWi- cal a bargain; but when Mepbistopheles a«timed the amiable coouteoaneo ef Selina Dulcimer, and whis|«<red iu bin ear, ‘Marry Beatrix Harefiald, and let her fortune revive Ilie glory of your race,' the yonng man was sorely tempted. Ho had promised his cousin Cyril that he would not attempt to become Lia rival, bat he did not know how far Cyril's love affair Lad gone. He bad no idea that Beatrix bad already made bor choice irre vocably, and waer»ady to sacrifice fortune and father's favor for her lover. Kenriek was not in love with Beatrix Hartfield, in spite at all tboa« hints and innuendoes wherewith Mra. Dulcimer bad artfully striven to kindle the fire of passion tn his heart. He was not in love with her, but he admired her beyond any wemsa be bad ever met. and ha copld but remember that her fortune would give him tha deaire of hie heart He was above the mean new of marrying for money. Ha would not bfcve sold himself to a woman ha disliked or diepiMd any more than be would have sold tuxnself to Satan. Ho would have AMoanted <.ne bargain ns baM as th/othef. two nightly, mending aud making for tho insatiable brood.• Never mind, tna.' sho would say when MM. ScralchcH was on the verge of distraction about a ‘ waist.' a pair of imprac ticable socks, or trousers that woro gone at the knee—* leave your basket and I'll make it right when you're gone to bad.' * But. Bella, my dear,' sighed tho mo ther, ‘ it’s so bad for your health to sit up ever eo long after twelve. Working «■» bard ns you do ell tho dav, loo. I wish you had never taken that district working into vnur head.' ' District fiiblla-stioks !' growled Mr. ‘Scralcbt-Il from behind his newspaper. He was inconvuoienily quick of hearing, like thu generality of falbvra. ‘ District st tiff and nousence I Visiting tho poor means * It's a great shame far to say ench a thing, pa,' cried Bella, critmoDing. • I'm sure I try hard enough to ba nsoful at home—aud I give my mother tho best part of my salary toward the hoasi'keepiug. I ought to ba free to do a Htila good abroad if it makes me happy.'* A little fiddle-faddle,' retorted the father, not taking the trouble to lower his newspaper. * A deal of good you can do. going simpering and smirking ioto cottages as much as to say, “ Ain't I pretty ?

Atjd then I sup pose you inquire after the stats of their souls,'and why they don't tench iheir chil dren to blow their nosee, and quote Scrip ture, and talk ‘as if you had got a freehold estate in heaven. I hate such bum bug. Stay nt home and help your mother. That's what I call Christianity.'Like most men who never go to church orread their Bible". Mr. ScratcbeU had his own idea of Christianity, and was quite as ready to assert and defend it as the most learned -churchman. Ho Iflid down the law as arrogantly upon this Christum mode of his as if he had received a revelation all to himself, and was in a position to pnt the established eburoh right if be had chosen Bella Scratchell went on flsvoliug three afternoons » week to parish visiting, in apiio of paternal opposition. In fact, tiiat pnterDoI opposition gave a new zest to her work, end she felt heraolf iu a small way, a marlvr. She told Cyril about hfr father'a unkind- npBsos one afternoon an hn wea walking home with her after an accidental meeting in one of the cottages.‘ PapA is BO cniel,' fhe said t ' be declare* that I can do no good—tb^t I am too in significant and silly to Is of tho least use.' ' You are neither iceignifieant nor silly,’ answered Cyril, warxuly- ’ Aud the people like you. That la lira grand point They will generally take advice from a person they like. And they like bright young faces and pleaaanl frieadlv mannara. You ‘have done good already, I have seen it in more than one ease.' * I am eo glad !' cried Bella, in a voice that actually trembled wito delight. ‘ Are yon really plaaeed with mo ?' • I am very much pleased.’* Then I will go on. Papa may be M unkind an he likes. I am amply reward- epidemic.’' Their rooms are eo small,' suggested Cyril. * True.

Mr. Noxon moved, seconded by Dr. Wil liam s, in atn.mdmAut, that tbo fae for shop licenses be fixed nt $23J as at present. Dr. Williams thought the Council would be stultifying and making thoinselves ridiculous in taking such action after only a few nights ago ptssmg a resolution filing tbo rate of licenses ns they stood. Mr. D-4y »uid the pnucip.il reason for recousidori.ig Iba matter is font tbo iuo is too high- Without any debate font resolu tion was put on tho books. It is only an .-vet of justice to place them al the figures 1 hare proposed. Mr. CliMlwick—would wish to put all re striction on the traffic, and was in favor of tbo rate whan first put on. T.iu rate will average double that imjxtscd in other ulace*. Ha Would wish to BOO all the regLfalious enforced ; 8159 is fully as high AS other placetf. Mr. Nvxuu oxpfded that the mover would have given soms explanation. None of the petitioners arc persona oBtebte of tbo trade, aud ihry will from year to year be applying for fui tber roduciiuu.

Mr. Walley said he was not one of those who bad been pledged to support the m .lion. Mr. Noxon—Parlies iu tho trade have waited upon those voting for the change. The whole thing has been legislated upon by parties vtiuido of this room. Tha traf fic can afford not only to p.iy licenses but heavy fines as welt, uud any business that can do that cau p iy the fees imposed. Mr. Daly had expected that soina batter excuse for not reducing foo licenses than h) had listened to would LAVS bw-u g vea.

Ho WM in favor of putting the fee a* high a* possible, but opposed to abolishing the liquor traffic altogether.

Th* choir rendered in good Liat* th* hymn “ Vital Spark of Heavenly Flame.” The following is so ontlin* of the sermon and tb* principal part of th* biographical notice read by Mr. Kay :— Jeremiah, XV, 0.—“ Her Mtn ha* gqpe down while it is yot day." Thh figure of ihe selling sun was chosen at an emblem of mortality, nr th* setting of lifee «un( from^which the following let- ions were drawn: I, The telling of tb* ean is. in science and has become alio a* a matter of .human observation, a settled fact. For three hun dred and rixty-five times every year it b«* told th* sums tale. As aura as he rises over the hills, flecking and ftincipg th* orient sky with pure aud pr«cu>ns^fgbl, it is a tattled last with us that ha will, at th* close of day, bi Jo himself in th* west. Fit embtem of human life. Tuo tight of tifo'a son is as sure to set M that it ba* begun to shine. The nations of antiquity, the men and women of the past ages are all gone. Tu* great cities in which they tired, the homes ouce vocal with their Bings and bright with th* suuabino of their live# have been desortsd. Tinis all things earthly hide themselves behind the hills of tho rolling years and aro gone. IL Th* sotting sun is often very lovely in bis appearance. Ho often appears much larger, anil bis beams become soft ened down to a deliulilful mellowness, and the whole of tho western heavens is gihlod with his dying giorite. Some of our Cana dian sunset scenes aro peculiarly lovely. Na nrttet's pencil or brush, bo be ever «o skilful, can givo as anything like a rep re- Mutation of them on canvas. The Divine Artist takes tho skyie canvass, and by !iis own finishing touches, shows us earthly men what be ean do. Th» sun can ue gazed upon, and perhaps is oftencr admired, at bis Betting than at any other time in his course. How fitly doos thia resemble the good man’s death. Tho Christian's life grows more beautiful as his sun is at Ilia setting; tits graces and characteristics become mellowed into tho loveliness which w« might expect iu one who stands on the threshold of Heaven. H I. The Bun-setting is not always nt ' tho samo hour, there arc the long days nt j sammer and the shdrt days of Winter, an <1 sometimes al on eclipse the sun set-ms to ’ set while il is yet day. Su with life's sun, , it goes on with tba usually varying length । of tba day of human life ; but now and ‘ again tom a strange movement like a clap . oi thunder from a clear sky sends a cfottd across the disk of tba Heavens, and while j yet the day of lifu seems hardly half spent i as if ihe sun were th shoot from the zniilh I to his selling in an instant, tQ snu of , human life suddenly descends end is gene. ( By far the majority of oar race die young. 1 The nation loses its king and nil his plans for the futnro Bra broken and nnfiliisbed ; j th* lug's! □ tor quits his project, gather* up f bis feet and is gone ; the husband is carried ( away, with bis business all unsettled ; the t Kiel her is taken from the family when her t preat-nea can ill be spared, the rooms aro vacated, the furniture in confusion, tho , family thrown into tba midst of owr- ! whelming grief.—“Iler ana has gone down ‘ while it is yet day.” j IV. Tho setting sun rises on some > other conntry, ho only eeenu to go down, to ( us Lis light is put out, but to soma one , else ho is just riaing io splendor, so with » ths sun ef tho Chrislisu's life, it go>s J down to as but rise* in a healthier, happier clime, never more to set. Tba gohhn i hues of Iho gorgeous Occident aro to us the J emblems of the foil nnending day of that f happy laud. Jesus says, “Ho tbalbi Hevetb ’ on mo shall never die,” aud il is so, iho ( passage—called death—is cnly from one J lifemate another, or, as il were, “from this ' room Into tb* next.'* ' This is th* experience of the Christian j only. Religion tutorne, beautifiee, tavee ; * without it our sun will go down under u ‘ dond, and we shall sink into eternal night, j Ob, that all knew tho safety and ealLfoc- c lion of true religion. How (all ofenconrsgt - ( meat is the thought that the sun does not cel without the knowledge aud permission t of its Creator, and sets but by tho force* ' w|iieh He originates and controls, BO the } Cbristiau's death is not an accident in the 1 divfoe economy, nor does it occur with nt bringing him into close nnion with the strong hand of our Lord to support j aud save. Blessed be God, there aro nil « tbc lights of diviue promise to illumin* the chamber of th* dying Cbrhtian. Wo are called to-day to reflect upon the i work of our common enemy.
