Faith that the Supreme Being is better adapted to deal with our needs than we are ourselves; resignation to what- ever may be in store for us, because it (10is to us by the divine will; love that is so trustful and serene that its be- lief in the divine law can never be shaken, no matter how the skies may lower or how dark the night may be- cime. And yet how few utter that prayer in earnest, thoughtful meaning and with a full idea of. its tremendous signifi- cance ! With too many __ of us it is merely perfunctory; it is devoid Ofa diving, breathing soul; it is given with a mental reservation; it is robbed of all its beauty by the impulse that leads us to hope that the divine will shall be our will, that the deity is in ourselves and that the gift is to be Of our own choos- ing. In our relations to others we utter the prayer with stentorian vehemence, and are willing to recognize in it, when. applied to others, the divine wisdom as well as the divine power. he done,” we pray with unctuous clam- or when we see a brother orasirter smitten with arfliction, struck down in the midst of rejoicing, or thwarted just when ambition or desire seemed about to have its full fruition. But when the cross is laid upon our own shoulders, when Calvary looms up before us grim and threatening, the tongue cleaves to the roof of the mouth, or, stuttering and stammering, we find ourselves 'ut- tarly unable to say With hearts full of love and faith, “I‘hy will be done.” And yet. to the true Christian heart, one that is all aglow witlgdivine love and is strong to endure all things “Thy will ' through faith in that love, that ‘ prayer is the sweetest gem of soul thought. It brings man and his Maker in closer, communion than ever before. It makes lhe child an I the father one in the bonds of a love that never fails. It erects a wall of faith about the soul through which no error or terror or distress can break. It clothes the soul with a majesty that makes it akinto thatgieatest Soul that said, “Whoso liveth and believe'h in Me shall never die.” It adds a-zest to the performance of duty; it brings a feeling of supreme calm and peace to the heart that speaks it trustfully. “I‘hy will be done.” It is the p ayer of all prayers, more po‘ent than a day or a year spelt in idle words. It lifts the soul to the glory of the heavens and shows it the need shepherd, in whose care are rest and happiness. It makes its petitioners lhe'lutle children, of whom Christ. said, “Ufruch is the king- dom of heaven.” “l‘hy will be done.” Say it meekly, reverently, and in love; in faith and hope and in full belief. It is a wand that hangs a flower of joy upon every bush that lines the path of Ilfr; it is a. rainbow that spans the darkest clouds; it is a bridge ova-r which we pass into eternal life. . _. .9 >__I__ ___._._ —Live Merchants keep their names before the Public.

Once, in the lobby, ii. member of the bar was seeking to con- - vey the impression to It group of ac- quaintances, of whom Judge Walton was the centre, that his income from his profession was very large. “I have to corn :1 good deal,” the lawyer said; “it seems at large story to tell, judge, but my personal expenses are six thousand dollars a year. It costs me that to live.” "That is too much. Brother .3.,” said the judge: “I would n‘t pay it—it isn’t worth it!” nus SPAGE ‘ IS . GONTBAGTED run or EAIIIIIIIEII & human.
