lay the corpse of his earthly parent.
It was natural for a dutiful Son to
want to be present at the funeral.
Yet when the young Irian Sold, 'Let

to each student this question 1 --
"Young man, where do you go to

Some there will be who, in order to

MELANCHOLY IN RUSSIA.

merly United States Ministir to
Russia. Despite the frivolity domi-
nant among til0 upper class and the
feleshiem controlling the lower class-
es, there was, eSpecially in that per-
iod of calamity, a deep undertone of
melancholy. Melancholy, indeed, is re
marked characteristic of Russia, and,
above all, of the pease t ry. They

vague dread of some calamity. De-

foreign journals anti tho blotting out

all that the secret polled could do in
repressing unfavorabfe comment, it,
became generally known that all wets
going w000g in the Crimea News
came of reverse after reverse; of the
defeats of AlmEL and Tnkerman, and
as a climax, the loss of Sevardopol
and the destruction of the Russian
fleet. In the miest of it. all, as is

mans against Prance in 1818 and in
1870, of Italy against Austria in

repaired the altar of the Lord that

and He prayed that His people
might he so one with Hint that the

He was sent of God (John xvil., 4,

to purify Plim; tho Spirit came as a

came -upon the disciples at Penticost
He came as tongues of fire. Wo
need the purifying consuming flre,
hut we are so In love with the
dross of self and self interest
and self glorification and so
unwilling- to be a living sac-
rifice (for God must have a
willing heart, a willing offering) that
Ile is hindered and cannot bless and
use us as He &Sires to. Sge, like
Israel, must acknowledge "0 Lord
our Clod, other lords beside Thee
have had dominion over us."
As to God accepting by fere, con-
sider the stecrffice of Abel, the offer-
ing of Gideoti and of Mnnoult, the
dedication of the tabernacle and the
-temple, and note that in the two
latter when the glory filled the Holy
of Holies no man ectuld stand to
Ininister, reminding 'us that no flesh
shall glory in His presence (Ex, xl,
351; I, Kings viii, 11; I Cor. i, 29-
31). Jehovah having been pro-
claimed God, the prophets of 13aal
are slain, To be on the Lord's side
means that all that 'is against God
must he slain, however dear to us.

returned, efeying "Behold there eels-
eth a little cloud out of the sea like

the heavens become black wiLh clouds
