A despatch from Brooklyn, N. V., says: Rev. lee Newell Dwight t.Lt, preached from the following text: No man curette for lily soul. A year ago a young roan came W the city to wake his fortune. 1 wring ill tlt.•.,e months he lits been working up to the limits of his strength, with long hours, little pav, slow climbing and at times sick with hope deferrer!. His home is a :meriting house. his room a hall bedroom. On a Sunday night he writes a i rte;. describing himself us a bird heating its wins against an iron cage. In substance he says: "In the village at home I knew every lace and every- body knew inn. fussing along the street everybody had a senile end a recognition. !fere I am nobody—a mere drop in the MVO'. \ly ••ntployer counts me n cog in the machine. You little know the loneliness of a young man in New York. Oh! 1 know what is meant by the words, 'No man Gareth for my soul.' " Doubtless this 1•outh stands for a great multitude in the city. The: - lonely ones throng our streets and of Years From 1. t Dyspepsia.ili li t � i Or t. it * That is what Mrs. 133ary parks, di !; Cooper, Ont., says, and there are W 1 thousands of others who can say *s 1 , the same thing. • h W s MARCH IN REGIMENTS. tut it is hard to root a transplanted lee and the loneliness is a part of ho transplanting from country to ity. iiut deeper still lies the fact hat this loneliness obeli • as Indicates that his youth is now being receiver! into he guild of worthy souls.

Mrs. Parks writes as a' follows:,— tt�r I from Dyepeipsia and triedrem "I suffered for a number of years many to city. Alone. Galileo made his stand and went along his via dolor- osa. Alone, .Jesus Christ was tempted in the desert; alone, He suf- fered in Gethsemane. How pathetic was that midnight hour when Ho wakened His disciples, asking them if they could not watch with 1lim in Itis loneliness for a single hour. Alone, also, Ile hung upon His cross. When God educates the soul Ile does it in solitude. All the great crises are fought out in silence, when the angels of (rod and the soul meet and wrestle and self is defeated and God is victorious. In solitude comes self- reliance aril the full knowledge of one's weakness and strength—full power to order °tie's life. But over against dint exclamation, "No man cares for illy soul!" this youth should set Paul's word: "God cares for my soul." God cares! Oh, what n thought is that! In the power of thatthought the leaders have gone dryshod UCross all seas, turned stones to angels' bread; made the rocks to gush itt cooling streams. For rhes.• lonely ones the duty of the hour is to hope and trust in time ante events and the resources of God's loving providence. Put away core and anxiety and verish fears. Live a trustful. tran- quil lite. meeting storm wit h calm, adversity with fortitude, and in the end you will conquer.
