Mor Romani to Sign a rarer antnorat to the united seam. A littbe .story has come to me of Queen Victoria, which was not men- tioned during her life. It bears the Stamp of truth, as it wee told by, her youngest son, Prince Leopold, when he was studying at Oxford. A Har- vard professor was spending the greater part of a year there, and be- came intimately acquainted with Prince Leopold. When calling up- on him to say "good-bye," Prince Leo- pold maid, "I want to tellyou a story to remember me by. 'I was a little boy, playing on the faeor of the rooxn where my mother was sitting, 'Lord Johnny,' as we af- fectionately called him, Lord John Russell, came into the room where my pnothar was and handed her a paper, which she read carefully, and th,ein handed it back to hire without a word. He went out ond later teturned with the paper. She read it through again, and showed • some displeasure, remarking, •"I do not like it, ,and I Meal never sign a paper that woold in any way lead to war with the United States.' "I looked up from my play, as tbis -was the first time I received any inti- mation that my mother was anything more than any ether woman The paper was still further changed. A week or two later any mother toldk me that nay brother, tho Prinoe ol Wales, had visited tha United States the year before. He had been so kindly ramie, - ed that ehe considered that it had es- tabliehed a bond of amity between the United States a3ad England, and that she would never ba one to do anything that could in any way dis- turb it." Leopold is dead, Viotoria is dead, aod all of us who hear; the story will further honor the good mother and peace -loving Queen.

The blood taken within the veil enee a year for the high priest himself as well at for the people (verse 7 and Lev. xvi) pointed to Elle own precious blood which lie has shed once for all and which takes away not the sins of a year, but all sins forever, Lor the blood of Jesus Christ eleartseth from all sin (I Jobe I, 7'; Rev, 1, 5; Joint 10). Ho has mot obtained for us ee- demption for a week or a mouth or a year, but eternal redemption. He gives to Ills sheep eternal life, and tad than never perish; neither can any pluck them out of His hand (Sohn a, 27-29).

"How much more shall tke blood of Christ serge your eonacience from dead works to reran the Ming God?"

That we, baying obtained life in Him, shall continue to live is be- cause he ever Hyena to make hatereession for us (chapter vii, 25). As He said, amuse I live, ye shall live alto" (John v, 19), or as it is written in Rem. v, "Being reconciled to God by the death of Inis Son, we shall be mimed by His life." We have in hearen a Great High Priest who is touched with the feeling of OUP infirmities, having been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, and to Him we may come boldly and lInd In Him always the mercy and grace that we need (chapter le, 14-16). Let us lay up in our hearts and hold fest these precious words, "In the nresence of God for me," and also the words in Rona Min 84, "At the right hand of God for me." 25, 26.
