What A beautiful thought wn Hint of Moaea,

Continually occurring In thla world i man,
being In honor, nhhhth not kingdoms rise
and fall tha dny I coming when tha earth
and all the work that am therein shall Is

Thn holy nxtle afford na tha example of
Maying hlmaelf upon the same consideration.
Hlnee such is the steadfastness of the Moat
High, every word of III I reliable every
promts 1 worthy of unlntermllteci trust
That promise can no mora fail, than Jehovah
himself ran censo to exist Our Iird ho
confirmed It, when He aald, "Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my word hall
not pas away."
Whaleverchatigeaor reverse therefore may
take place In sublunary nfTnlrs, though we
mny lose house nud home, and our worldly
all, wo have in our Maker a chnngclcaa dwelling-place,
Tho bosom ot Ood ia the Home
of the Soul.
So aaith Bt. John, "Ha thnt dwellcth In
love dwellcth in Ood." To dwell In Ood, or
to have Ood for our dwelllng-plneo, Implbst
reconciliation, for "how can two walk to
gether," much less dwell together, "except
they be agreed?" It Implle ncurin s of a
eess. "They that am far from thee shall
perish, but It Is good lor mo to draw near un
to Ood." It Implies trust and conlldeno-.
No one would build nn a fluctuating si a. Hut
"tho Lord I my rook nnd mv fortress, who I

of soma ort. for a man' dwelling-place Is

I am Ood, eve n thy Ood." It Impli. s permn

The future condition of the children id

In a recent tenure make a dlstlnitlon, not

this diathesis developing as Inebriety Is litn
long total at stlnenee on the part of thn
