M. Renouard, in the London Graphic, has here depicted a mother mourning. There was something so poignant ia : her grief that one almost expected to see the congregation break into tears and lamentations; to see them rendii^ their- clothes and pouring ashes on their heads. The words that she had been repeating have a rare intensity of M&> ness. " Blessed, praised, and glorified, exalted, extolled, and honoured, magnified and lauded be the name of tb» Holy One, blessed be He ; though He be high above all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations which, an • uttered in the world " At the last word her voice faltered, and she broke down. The minister, with xmh training hand, led her away. — From the Graphic.
