Succession of Distressing Dreams Proved Forecast of Sorrow. An old woman living by herself in a. Midlothian (Scotland) village was much disturrled one night by a succession of distressing dreams about a daughter who was married to a joiner and lived in Edinburgh. At one time she saw her look pale and ill, and almost naked, toiling across a moor covered deep with snow; then again she saw her fall into a flooded river, and borne rapidly away on the raging torrent; and again she saw her clad in deep mourning, picking her way over grass -grown graves in a lonely church -yard, and weeping bitterly the while. The old woman, on wak- ing, felt sure that some evil had befallen her daughter, so getting up she dressed quickly, and after a rugal breakfast set out in the dark -inter morning to walk the four iles that lay between her and the nearest railway station, where she caught the early train to Edin- burgh. Her daughter and son-in- law, with their two children, were at breakfast when she arrived at their house. In the cosy little home all was comfort and happiness, and the old woman after the terrible strain • she had undergone experi- THE MAN UO DENIES GOD Degeneration and the Way of the Ungodly Here Defined.

But moral depravity -- ungodliness, not, until we investigate it a. little more critically do we see its inter- esting force and observe at the same time the literary skill with which the conditions against which all that follows in the Psalter de- claims is presented. The man who is not blessed is depicted first of all as an ungodly pian. There are many men who are or who profess to be, unitedly --that is, men who have left the divine out of the reckoning, who persiste.nly deny • God and shape their lives upon some ethic system, which they fail to recognize as dis- tinctly traceable to and in so far as it is good, derived from Christi- anity. Some men in this category are upright, honorable --I had al- most said GOD-FEARING CITIZENS. Most then who thus deny God, who put Him outside of their calcula- tions, are not. Tho next step downward is easily taken. The man who is not blessed is next described by the Psalmist as a sinner. The transmission is natural and easy. To deny God is usually to disobey His laws and that is to commit sin. The third characteristic of the man who is not blessed is that he is scornful. There are many sin - THE S. S.

And they received the Holy Ghost, with the same outward manifestations of tongues of flame and speaking with tongues, as well as the inward grace and power, which characterized Pentecost six years before, as appears from Si- mon's request. The special reasons for this gift were much the same as on its first bestowal at Pentecost. then, within a week from the day she left home, she returned thence, accompanied by her two orphan grandchildren.

With difficulty they made a hole and descended into a room where they found the parrot and a young and beautiful girl unconscious, but un- injured. HEADACHE.
