Peace and (Comfort.
Peace and comfort are relative terms. There is an old, old Iri»h story of three hermits in the wilderness who, sick of the clamour of the world, had sought that safe retreat.
At tbe end of a year of silence, one remarked. "It's a fine life we're having here."
Not another word .was uttered until the end of another year, when the second hermit replied —
"It is!"
Time went on, and when the third year had elapsed the last hermit, showing signs of impatience at tbe chatter of his companions, broke in, "If I can't get peace here, I'll go back to tbe world!"
