His grief and bewilderment are un bounded, but they avail him noth ing. Joseph is gone. How often compromise in the realm of duty achieves this, much to one’s dis comfiture and poverty of spirit. "Jesus,” said the minister, "might have compromised His spirit and evaded the cross, but stern duty de creed that He must face it and, through sacrifice, break it.” The hymn especially .solicited for inclusion in the evening service, "Un to the Hills Around Do I Lift Up”, was sung.
