ThoHeavenly Con3olor How vain arc all the consolations of this world when we conic " to stand by the death bed of one we love. ; Theodosia, the beautiful daughter of Aarou Uurr, thus writes to her father on the death of her com; ; ,: ; " There is no more joy for mc. The world is, i blank. My child is gone forever. Whichever way I turn the same anguish as sails nic. You talk of consolation. I think Omnipotence could give no equivalent for my boyuo none, none' ' ,. Such is bereavement without the Divine Comforter.. ; Such the consolation which uordly widom gives to it devotees. 'u Christian wociau was once brought before, the bloody , : Bonner, cn trial for her religion. When the bUhop thicatcned to take nwav her husband '.Christ isjny husband," she answered. 'I will take awy thy child," he said. . . .'Christ U Letter, to uie than ten sons,"was her reply; , - . . . 'I will strip thec of all thy outward -com forts'.. .... !'Ycs, but Christ is mine," she answered, trimphautly; 'you can not strip xuc of him." ' , '-.'- That precious assurance bore up her head, aud gave her peace to her soul under all her trial. Said the mother of , Leiyh Richmond, as her beautiful babe lay dying before her ihe.rcf.hk6f an accident caused by, the nurse's carelessness : t If I.eease raying for five miuutcs, I am ready 'to sink tinder this unlooked-for dis tress; but when I pray, God comforts and upholds me. His will, not mine, be done." "God, in taking away ray Mn,"said another,4 revealed to hie his own Son, a thousand times more precious." May we all prove in onr times of bereave ment what it is to have Christ for our Comfort- Lottie and rthb Voice. ' " You remember the f.tory of little Samuel.

Then Kli thought it was God speak ing to Samuel j and be told Lim, when he heard the Voice again, to say, " Speak, Lord; for thv servant heareth." God does uot jpeak to children- these days, as he spoke to Samuel.-'- We cannot hear His voice ith onr cars.!- He does not say, Phil ip, Philip!" "Mary, Mary 1" But God does not pass by without speaking. Ntf; I am urc He docs uot ' do that. God speaks to us ; for He loves us. He whispers to us Ly His Spirit, in a still small voice.
