(John 11;25).
We learned in the lesson of Feb.
47, that God permitted a baby boy to
be born blind, and p,row up and live
in blindness until he was a mature
man, in order to give- him such an
astounding blessing that the afflic-
tion of blindness seemed only a
fle ler comparison, ( John 9 :3; 7 :A 5-
33j. And now God let another man
die in order to give him a blessing
that has made his name immortal in
history. If eve will but greet eveey
trouble and affliction with the in-
stant prayer, "Lord, I thank Theo
for letting this come into my life,
and I claim now the blessing that
Thou hast for me through it," then
our troubles will be the brightest
spots in our lives, as God wants
them to be.
We are told, to begin with, that
Jesus loved this man Lazarus and
his two sisters. When word was
brought that Lazarus was sick, we
read, immediately after the state-
ment of Jesus' love for the family,
that "therefore" Jesus delayed go. the Lord's return "shall never die"

be sere to leap to his feet with a
reminiscent look on his face.
Chatham had, gained considerable
fame as the "mother of' journalists
and literary people" a quarter at a
century ago; for as long ago as
that she was so referred to by her
sons and daughters scattered over
the English-speaking world, some
of them, including Ikobert Barn, who
died in England when he was editor
of The Idler, and after he had be-
come the anther of several pepular
s novels, were not altogether eulogis-
tic. They acknowledged Chatham
as their starting -place, but with a
touch of bitterness over their uphill
struggle to gain literary recognition
in Canada in those days. Some little
time before his death, when Barr was
at the zenith of his fame, he wrote
a young writer: "You have started
in the fight placc-,,-but don't linger
there too long!" 'Barr believed that
Canadians -would never acknowledge
native literary genius until it had
made good in the United States or
elsewhere; and there is no doubt
that he had ample proOt of this in
kis own experience.
Somewhere about twenty or
twenty -aye years ago the late Ed
Sandys, who came of a Chatham
family that had 'contributed' inneh to
Canadian lettees, wrote a flippant
parody 011 a poem '0-! Kipling's in

The Prince, in his new 11181, will
find himself in a place famlijar sinv,

over, of great historic interest. For
Marlborough House,, London, is, In-
debted to Sarah, Duchess dr Mall-
borough—hone' the name—who de-
termined to build a house which
should be worthy of her illustrioue
husband. To -attain this end she
wrung front' Queen Anne a lease .of
certain land near St. Jame's Palame,
hitherto ueed "for keeping of plume -
ants, guinea hens, partridges, and
other fowl." The yearly rental wire
five shilling, en consideration of the
payment of 12000.
The filet thing for her to de was
to demolish the priests' "lodgings"
:text to the neighboring c hapel. Sir
Christopher Wren was called in (to
vex Vanbrugh, it Is said) and al-
though the great architect of St.
Paul's was in his seventy-sixth year
he readily undertook the task a
designing the Duchess's 110013 home.
Sarah herself laid the foundation
atone, which. may still be seen en a
passage beneath a corridor. It Is a
small stone, about three foot iii,
length, and bears the following ire
scription:

Her Grace the Duchess of Maelbrough

Her Grace was not remarkable in
the matter of orthography, but she
was a rare hand at a bargain. The
Duke, busy with military matters on
the Continent, was told by letter that
"the room5 will take-up about 12,000
tiles, and the chimneys about 2200,"
and he was further informed that
they were "cheap" in Holland, end
"coming with him" Would "cost less
and be less trouble." Furthermore
the Secretary of the British Lega-
tion at The Hague was requested to
obtain a passport for the exportation
to Englaed of ."six great mirrors ,
free and without payment of any
duties." The Duchess even availed
herself of cheap Dutch bricks, whieb
were brought mew as ballast in the
transports returning to England.

which lies been greatly added to

was cramped and leconvenient, as It
is today. Why? It was the Duchess'
wish "to make an entrance 1' or her
house, then called Priory Court, into
Pall Mall, but Sir. Robert Walpole,
having quarrelled with her, bought
the house in front of it in the main
street, and so frustrated her pur-
pose." Even today Marthorougb
House cannot be seen, from the

So runs the story, and it is moirt
likely true, for the imperious Duch-
ess had a habit of quarreling.. By
