Toronto, Despatch -Tho Jewish frater-
nity in the city were called upon yester-
day to perform a rite that is very rare-

side last Friday, an net that is held fu
great abhorrence by all Jews. To make
some atoenlent for this offence and to
prepare the body for its resting place,
four Members of the conuw+udtp volun-
teered to wash and cleanse the body so
that it might be fit to rest with the
faithful.
The ceremony took place at the rooms
of Undertaker Miles.
A curious feature of the eereutony
was the rare taken less sonde of the
water used in the rite should be spill•
ell. it is considered a great sin to
step in or torch in any way the w'n-
ter with 111)1511 a body has been washed.
In this ease, two large vessels were used,
one for clean and the other for the
used water, When the body had been
thoroughly washed it was stood upright
in a large granitowaro receptacle while
one of the washers repeated the prayers
for the departed, finishing with the time
hallowed, "Cod Rest itis Soul"
After being thoroughly dried with
clean cloths it was replaced on the
stretcher on a linen sheet and clothed
In the funet'ai vestments, which are the

THE I1)OUSE WE USED TO LIVE IN.
Ethelwyn Wetherald in Youth's Companion,
Tho house we used to live In looks at us
So wistfully as we go driving by;
The wind that magus Its near trap mur-
murous
Flies swiftly after with entreating sigh.
Conte back! come back: we hear it low
Lift up the grans choked gate, the earth -
stained door.
And enter in your childhood's home once
more.
Ah, no! let us make merry with light
80oeeh
of newer days and push the past nide.
Close to that door the baby used to reach
Tho knob and play with It -before he died;
Ile used to sleep on the broad window sill,
A sunbeam 11, llls curls -no, not that hill -
This level road, Drive fast -oh, faster still.
Ilow small it weal Before the birds are
grown
They lie so warmly In one (Iny post:
But all the world is theirs when they have
flown,
And foreign roofs replace the mother's
hrest.
Ah, well --God 000010, See, before us now
The ampler home beneath a loiter bough.
Lift up the saddened heart and clear the
brow.
For In thy empty neat beyond the 11111
Are blessed shadows of Immortal ease;
The sun crowned baby on rho window sill,
The happy children beneath the trees,
Old house, look not so piteous. Thou art
Of larger lives the very sweetest part;
The first love of the uaforgetting head.
"TO HiM THAT OVERCOMETH,"
(By Rev. 'Theodore L. (Juyler, D. D.)
'.l'here is 11 glowing list of rewards pro-
mised in the New Ttestauent "to him
that ovoreoneth." They aro enough to
fire every Christian heart and more than
satisfy his highest aspirations. They are
the splendid crowns laid up in heaven for
all those who, through Jesus Christ,
cone off conquerors. But the fighting
and the crown -winning have gut to bo
done down here in this world. Conver-
sion by the Holy Spirit does not entitle
warfare; it really only begins it. Con-
verting grace is a free gift, but it is not
a crown. Just as soon as you give your
heart to ,(esus, you are enlisted for a
conflict, and a conflict that will continuo
until the last blow is struck. You will
not reach heaven before your time,
When we cellist for Jesus, He furnishes
us our weapons, and commands us to put
on the whole armor; if any part is left
exposed to the ensmy,that point is the
point of danger.
Of one thing you may rest assured, and
that is in a genuine, earnest Christian
life conflict is unavoidable; yeti carrot
escape - it if you would, Conversion to
the core, which is the only conversion
worth having, imams a declaration of
war; it is 'a clmllenge to the devil. The
only way to avoid a fight with hint is to
carry n shirk lantern, and be content to
creep along in 0 by -way with soft moc-
casins under your feet. Even there Satan
manages to discover the cowards and the
time -servers, and make theta ground
00118 or surrender. Out of the vast num-
ber of church members in our land, I
wonder how many there are 1v110 can re-
port themselves every morning to their
Mester as "fit for duty"? How many of
then begin each day by grasping the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God, and putting on Lhe shield of
fnith and prayer? We 110000 61060 what
day may he day of special temptation
and assault by the adversary, and the
(sluice in which We lay our armor off and
over-estimate our own strength are the
disastrous day's in our life record,
Dangerous as tie devil is, dangerous
as worldly- amusements are, the ` most
dangerous enemy that 100 often have to
conquer walks in our own shoes. That
cunning, artful, smooth-tongued heart -
devil, soli, is the foe that needs the eon -
%tent wntelling, and subjerts us to the
worst defeats, "'rhe flesh lusteth, against
the Spirit and the Spirit against the
flesh, and these arc contrary, tie one to
the other." Paul had it tremendous
battle all along -those linos, heating down
his carton nature by hard blows; and the
old hero was able at lest to shoot: "I
have fought a good fight: henceforth
there is laid up for me 0. crown of
righteousness" Whoever among my
readers luta, by Cod's help, laid his de-
sires, his plans, his purposes, his pneoos•
010110, and above all, his own will, at the
feet of Jesus Christ, is already one of
the nvecom010, Ile already begins to
wear the white raiment, and the omnis"
tient eye of Cod discerns on his brow the
first flashings of the victor's crown.
NOTES.
"It is not enough to have the truth
of God in the Bible -it is not enough to
have the Bible on our tables; we
ought to have its truths in our (marts,
Tho P8alnnis1 kept them there; hence
he could write "Chy word hove I hid, in
my heart, that I night not sin against
Thee,' The Saviour himself kept the
truth then when Ile was 011 earth,
hence He could. easily reply to Satan's
temptations: 'It is written..'"
At tie death of a Christian girl a
bosom friend said: "ha'erywbo'e she
went flowers bloomed in her path, and
the air was sweeter, when she passed
through the roou," What a record to
leave of life! The aroma of suoln a
character is incense in ,heaven, There
can be no death to one. who is in such
touch with Cod.
Every one of no needs some influence
and 801110 impulse 'outside of ourselves
to, compel us to strive for our ideals.
The hest ianpn(00 that can uplift the
life is tho friendship of Jesus. He
says: "Ye are my friends if ye do what-
soever I command. ,you"
The question was asked in a party of
children which character they liked
best in Bunvan't"Pilgrim's Progress."
One replied, "I like Christian best"; en -
another said, "I like Christiana best, he.
cause she took the little OrlOs along with
her:'
