It was an awful gate Of opposi,i011 that the men and women —and the. vvorueu as much as the men— pushed back. It was a gate of self sac- rifice. It was a gate of blood. It was a gate of carbuncle. We are nut. indebted to history for Qui knowledge of the greatest of na, Lional crises, Many of us remember iL, and fathers and mothers now living had better keep tedling that story to their children, so that instead of their being dependent upon cold type and obliged to say, "On such a page of such a crook you can read that ;" wu1L they rather die able to say, "My father told me so," "My mother told me so;" Long after you are dead your cbiidren will be able to say with the psalmist; "Wo have heard with our ears, O God I our fathers have told us that work Thou didsL in their days, in the Lime,S of old.'?

Stated on his bench, he often looked up, and there were the swift and skipping feeh of children, and then the slow and uni, form step of the aged, and then tripp-� Pled feet, and he resolved he wonld do a kindness to each one who needed it. So when the foot with the old and wornuut shoe was passing he would! hail it and make for it a comfortable) covering, for he bad the hammer, and the pegs, and tho show lasts, and the! 1a Slone, and the leather to do it. And when he saw the invalid foot pass hei would hail it and go out and offer, medicine and crutcb and helpfulness. And when he saw the aged foot pass he hailed it and told the old man of heaven, where he would be young, again. When he saw the foot of chLld- hood pass on the sidewad.k, he would go vat with good advice anda laugh that seemLd like an echo of the child's laugh. Well, time wont on, and as the shoemaker's wants were very few hc+ worked but IiLtle for himself a.nd most of the time for others, and in tha long eveniugS, when he could not! weii see tho feet passing on the side- walk, be would make shoes of all sizes sand stand them on a shelf, ready for feet that would pass in the daytime: Of course, as the years went on, under this process thy. shoemaker became more and more Christian, until one day, he said to himself: I wish among alk those feet passing up there on the side- walk I cuul.d Sete the feet of the dea.ti Christ passing, Oh, if I could see His feet go by, I would know them, be- cause they are scarred feet.."
