THE UNION.

m - Is your Union making the most ol its strength? for it is only in Union that it can. We are all members —if one member suffer, all the body suffers. Is there any member suffering whom any one of us can help? Is there anyone who might be a member if she felt our help, our friendship? Is there anyone kept out of the Union, or out of its working strength, because she is hot on friendly terms with one of us?

She may be tlie one who is needed to carry us on. Oh, make friends with her quickly. She will make friends if you ask her, pray for it, and you will feel immeasurably stronger with all-round friendship to strengthen you, as well as to strengthen your Union, instead of some little grudge, not worth remembering, eating your strength away. You may think little disagreements unnoticed by outsiders, who know nothing of their details. These outsiders know all that matters about them. They know, they can’t help seeing, what good working order the I'i.iOn is in. They see what work it does. And if it doesn’t do work they all see that. And just that one member whom you can bring into the working strength, is the one who is needed if your Union is slacking. For if one member suffers, from disagreement. from discouragment, from loneliness, from lack of consideration, from anything that you can help her through, your whole body suffers. Like a mighty army—we are not divided all one body we- Well, are we? Ia your Union? KATHERINE MERCER.
