What can be more free than he who desires nothing If thou find truth and love in thyself thou shalt be able to find them also in the lives of thy fellows. lo do what seems right may involve an extra struggle sometimes, but one iray be sure that in the long run it will bring the most happiness. It is the royalty of Christ reflected in Mary to which the Christian world bows down. - She was the grandest work of His redeeming grace.— Bishop Hedley. •4. 'A? J? c ring is tne si S n of marriage, -so is adversity both corporal and spiritual, patiently borne for the love of God, a most true pledge of divine election, and is Uke a marriage of the soul wil,h God.f— St. God pity and soften the father whose children fear htm, who grow silent as his foot crosses the threshold, who shun -the room he darkens with his presence ! God bless the generous, cheerful, good-natured father, who, though weary after the labor of the day, sttll forgets his cares and fills the house with joy and light ! His face is a never-failing source of gladness to those who love him and when he comes home there is a headlong race and scramble to see who shall kiss father first. Such a greeting is a full payment for all the toils and vexations of the day.
