There Is a woman in the rain;
Here are her tears upon the leaves.
I saw her move on ashen feet
Between the gold dust cd the sheaves.
She flung dim circles In the stream
And on the path where poppies blow;
She left for mirror to the stars
A little looking glass of woe.
Oh, I would bind her brews with sun,
And sinooth her cheek with burnished

And spread a carpet amber clear,
That she might walk brocaded ways;
And that is why I keep the sun
Upon my window sill, and why
r wait hi red -roofed, maple town:
MY Lady Rain may pass me by.

The days ere dark, the winds are chill,
No more the poppies pitch their tents
In scarlet sPlendor on the hill.

Their trinison shields float down the -

And withered bullrushes are but
Tbe gallant lances Of a dream.

Beneath the tattetee beggar trees.

with what they had' done to prove their
love and devotion, brought tears of sin-

them back from a miserable and degrad-
ing captivity, from under the yoire of
Babylon, protected and .delivered them
in a marvelous manner, restored them

settlement in their own land. 11 their
repentance was sincere there was occa-
sion for rejoicing. for joy is the voice of
order and peace in the soul. True Joy
can only begin when the self -life has
been surrendered. The better they un-
derstood, the word of God the more Qom -

sary ingredient in the composition ot
genuine repentance. He would lead them
to see that sorrow for sin must not hin-
der joy in God, but rather rather lead to
it and prepare them'for it.
II. Promoted by the practice of chari-
ties. The seared scriptures were useful
to them in proportion as they were
helped to worship God more reverently,
intelligently and sphitually, and thia
would be ;seen in the development of
practical self -forgetting generosity. il-
lustrating what -God was for them and
to them, they would be for others and
do others, making practical use of piety.
Joy in the Lord was their strength, .pos-
Hive, actual power.for service, strength
that led to practical results, making all
work for the good of man as work for
the Lord. For their own sakes, for the
salee of others and for their own great
name's sake the Lord would have his
people rejoice; .His -word promises joy.
Eris spirit inspires it. Service for him
produce it. joy is like oil to the wheels
of obedience.' Pure spiritual joy re-
freshes and quiekens the whole nature.
It helps to fortify the sould .against the
assaults of the enemy, and was the
great need of the people to whom( Ezra
spoke. They needed strength for endur-
ance, for service and against temptation.
They needed an inward testimony of
God's approval upon their' efforts, eme
bling them to do what was well pleasing
and. acceptable in his sight. "me joy
,of the Lord is your strength" are words
which sound like a promise uttered in
tbe full knowledge of the gospel rather'
than wider the law, for such joyes pre-
eminently and peculiarly the joy of
width the Holy- Spirit is the author.
"The joy of the Lord is thab sensation if
gladness and happiness Which the Holy
Spirit conveys to the soul and maintains
in the soul through the knowledge of
God in hiss true character toward us."
The law, propheeies and Psalms declare
that God's people are a happy people.
God has made provision, not only for the
maintenance, but for the joy of his
people. -R. R. A.
