quarter of beef and six (piartors

A box of cooked provisions in

by Mr. A, A. Kandoliih, of Ilali-

ill time, a,nd owing- to the delay,
a part of the contents ivere spoiled.
While on the subject of ac-
knoivledginent, we will state that
the amount of monc)' raised on
the occasion was increased eon-
tiderabh' over what it otherwise
V onhl have been, by the effoits
of Uev. Mr. Fu e 'ov ami of JI -.

Pinefoy started a proposition to
raise 8100.00 by $5.00 contribn-

with a V, i-md .Mr. Blow labored
untiringly until the iiropositiou
was met and the hundred raised.
For raising- funds, always com

iSo it is often witli us. Because
we do not see the Fye which
watches with a sleepless vigilance,
hve as though we were tmt seen.
But the great open eye of God is
tqioii us, and not an action c.iu

is not a thought, wiiicli is not

A certain Sunday School ivas
preparing for an entertainment,
in which some of the scholars
were to speak short pieces. In
practising for this occa.sion, a
little gii’l named Be.ssie,,oiily five
years old, was placed on the plat
form to speak her piece. She
began very nicely; but pretty
soon she stopped, looking all
around tho buikling, and seemed
greatly troubled,- T'iien Iter lips
began to fpiiver,. and her little
frame shook viith sobs. Her
father stepped out from behind a
liillar, wliere he had been watch
ing' lier, and taking her in his
arms, said; “Bc.s5ie, darling,
what’s tho matte I I thought my
little g'irl knew tho verses- very
well.”
“So I do, papa, but I couldn’t
see 3-011. Let mo stand wliefe 1
can look riglit into A-oUr face, and
then I won’t be fraid.”
Ilotv beimtiful this was! And
this is just what .losus does for
us, if we are fvym'g to servb' him.
He puts us “wfeefe we can' look
right into his face” at all times.
And in that face there is nothing-
hut goodnes.s, and h.'ve, and ten-
denie.ss towards ns. What a
eomfoi't this is.
