'Obey had not chosen Him; He had ehosen thou. The electrie-cord of divine love had nth& the little group one. Presently the charmed circle wid- ens; e brilliant and bitter enemy of Cbriet is stricken by the heavenly elee- tx•icity and transformed. iuto a most en- thusiastic friend. A wretched runaway •slave in the slums of Rome is lifted in- to SOseipleship. By and by, great think- ers, scholars, philosophers and. orators, amines and Augustines and Chrysos- toms and Bernards are drawn. in, The circle keeps widening as the age e roll on. Pooncottagers in their cabins, poor widows and orphans in their garrets, sailors in the foreatatle, sufferers in hospitals,are aamitted to the wonderful household, of love. And as the convert - Mg grace transforms them, and the geed renn embraces them, we hear Bhn keep on saying: "I have called you Mendel" It is the greatest matvel in history; for out of that obscure handful in that upper rpm has sprung the mighty Kingdom of Immanuel, which shall yet fill heaven with countless my- riads of glorified spirits.

It was tre marquis- who broke the silence. "I ani sure," he said, "that the doctor is right. I shall not live as long as he says, even.
