Seldom has the advent of a storm bccu
the cause of so much real sorrow and disap‘
poinlmcnt as that on Fridav evening brought
to the hearts of the friends of Fitch‘s Home
in this community. ~ The enterprise which
we hopcd would be so profitable to lllt"

The children of the Hon): were proscut in

and were the objects of much intern-st and
attention. In their parts of the programme
they all made a very creditable display, and
some of thcm did cvcn excellently wcll.
Many V‘ ere disappointed that 311‘. Gibson
did not play the organ, but his pcrfommnccs
upon the piano, which had been placed in-
side the altar railing. were appreciated by the
music loving portion of the audiencc. Miss
Potter occupied the platform, and read sev-
eral selections tall. we believe, new to our
people) in an unusually felicifous manner.
The fact that she could read at all under
such depressing circumstances. dcmonstratcd
her marvelous courage and self control.

Dunning preached Sunday morning from
Mark viii, ‘24: “And he looked up and said;
Iscc men as trccs walking." All states of
transition arc vziguc and indefinite. In
dreaming, the true and false are mixed to
gcthcr in wild confusion. \Vlicn half awake
in 1110 n10rning,you fall into the most whim-
sical illusions; you wonder whether you are
looking at 11 man or a bcd-post. So the
blind 1111111, with 1‘_\‘1:~‘ half opened. could not

ll. \Vlmt is to be dom- by :1 soul in this
511110 of transition. “sccing men as trees walk-
ing"
1. chp on Looking Not shut your eyes
because it bcwilders you, and you see things
mixed, but kccp on looking, till you sec
things as they arc. The soul's vision clears
by seeing. There is great power in persist-
cncy. Pray once, and you string the first
thread between your soul and God. Pray
twicc, and the thread becomes 21 double cord.
Pray thrice, and “ the three-fold cord is not
easily broken." Pray a hundred times, and
the hundred-fold cable of God's truth and
lovc shall wind around your soul, and not ii-
in earth or hell can tear it asunder!
2. Follow the Light you have. Evcti if it
be dim, it is better than none. F'cel your
way, if you cannot see it. Do the duty that
lies nearest to yourliands. Believe in God
whether you feel happy or not. Trust in,
Clirist, whether you feel at peace or not. And
act. out. your faith. Clearness and strength
come by action.
3. Seek and Pray for more Light. It. was
the second touch of Jesus that completed
the cure of the blind man. The measure of
light depends on how wide open your eyes
are in faith and prayer. The German poet
Goethe, died with this prayer on his lips:
“ Light 3 Light! More Light 3" Be this our
prayer until we shall no more “seeas through
a glass darkly," but in the presence of Jesus,
shall “see as we are seen and know as we
are known."
