They spoke together in the foreign tongue ; then Madeline raised her eyes and looked quietly around. All this while I had been standing in the background, longing, yet dread- ing to speak to her ; for I saw clearly enough that to her all the past was forgotten ; but now, as‘ her eyes swept the room and finally rested with a look of recognition on my face.

She lis- tened to my story quietly enough ; when I showed her the ring her white face flushed, her hand trembled and her eyes filled with tears. Having made my decision. I be- came calmer, and walked with a §tgndy step up to Rudruth House. I The events of the lust few hours lhad made me a changed being. I he~ [gun to wonder if it was all real ; whether I had really seen Madeline. and whether the one real romance of my life had been ruthlessly swept away. It was clear to me now that she thought little of the. past. and cared for it less. While 1 had been living upon the memory of those dear days. she had let: other events obliterate it entirely from her mind. Well, it was clear I must do the same. I must deliver her up to the custody of her relations as coldly as if she Were a. stranger who had casually been cast in my path for a day. 1 took the ring from her hand and started off on my mission. “Will you be so kind ‘?

Frank De Witt 'l‘almage preach- ed from the following text: “For ,ye have need of patience, that, after 4'0, have done the will of God, ye might receive the prom.ise."â€"Heb., 10:36. 11' faith is the golden-runged lad- dei' by which the soul climbs up to the presence of God, patience is the ,gentie and neverâ€"tiring attendant l'wlzo keeps the soul waiting on the Ithreshold of God's will until the blessing is received. if unl)e.ief is the mist which shuts out the face: of (l-od from the :oul and blinds it to the only rule path in Christ Jesâ€" us. impatience is the spade where- ‘with mun digs the grave into which are cast his pe' (‘e of mind and some- .times his hope of HeuVen.

(En‘pred according to Act. or the I’ll-I‘- hament or Canada, m the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Three. by Wm. Baily. of Toronto. at the epartmcnt of Agriculture. Ottawa.) THE SIN 0E IMPATIPNCE TRUE AND STICADY if you will trace the ever-widening. overâ€"darkening lines of radiation as they spread out from the little im- patient; thought, or word, 01‘ action. you will be appalled that so little :1 seed can bring forth so large a tree, that so slight a pinch of loaven can permeate the whole mass of dough. of the mill and factory, the exhilar- ating Ill-CHSUI'C of the play-ground. the a;.»;i'ccablo, clc'nting‘ atmosphere of the social function. lie steals zm'uy u man’s: judgment. rifles him of his selfâ€"control, and then turns him loose an easy victim to the horde of riotous fellows who follow in his t'ail. Impatience is such a. little sin that it creeps in unawares, and has one floored before he reâ€" alizes it. Yes. impatience seems like such a little sin that it is allowed to foster in the heart and life. But But let, us consider this sin more in detail, and first of all we will talk about, what We have been forced to call for want. of a better name, Spiritual Impatience. Our text says ’ "For ye have need of patience. that after ye have done the will of God. ye might receive the promise.” It. is addressed to the Christian. It boldly and plainly deâ€" clares that there is a lack in the life which is destroying the beauti- ful effect of doing the will of God and is robbing the soul of the fruit which would surely be garnered in the fullness of God's time. What is more discouraging in church or Sunday school than the impatient, Christian who frets be- cause plans do not work out. just as it was expected or purposed they should ; who condemns associates because they are not as faithful and enthusiastic in the work as is he“; who hecmncs Weary in wellâ€"doing and grows careless and indifferent when souls are not won for Christ as was prayed for and as there Qas reason to suppose they would be : who loses faith in God's promises when the blessing fails to come on the time set and in the way planned; who in sanctimonious pride and self. appointed zeal seeks to make God's programme for Him, and then is offended if the allâ€"Wise God fails to carry it out in full detail ? 0. yes, every church and every Sunday school has its impatient Christian who is constantly creating discord and trouble. ariscs from lack of faith and imper- fegt knowledge of God and His promises. Impatience of tlze flesh springs from a. multitude of irritat- ing conditions in the human life.‘It soon becomes a habit which sounds out in the life a discordant strain; and spreads an unwholcsomc influ- ence upon all about. directed; and second, the one of im- patience in the secular things of the daily life. We might designate them as spiritual imgmtiencdand impa- tience of the flesh. They both spring from the some root. They are both sinful. They both carry their weight of sorrowful conse- quences. But spiritual impatience too often passes for commendable zeal in the Lord's work and appears as a. virtue to those who see nqt with' the clear Vision ot'Christ; while the impatience of the flesh is not able to disguise its presence, even though it finds ready excuse in the trying circumstances which gave it, birth.

I At the cattle market toâ€"day there Hvas a brisk business in the local 3butcher trade. In the export trade there was a good demand, but not very many cattle of this class offer- ing. There seems at the present time to be no shortage of vessel space for all export cattle coming forward. The good demand for butchers' cattle toâ€"riay made prises in this class a little firmer. Choice lots of picked cattle were selling at; $4.40 to $4.50, and in some cases the quotations were a few cents higher. 'l‘hei'e is a fair demanu for feeders and light smokers.

How may the Christian worker tread the full length of the bridge of patience. 50 that the promise may at last he clasped in the hand that has faith- fully wrought the will of God? How may the impatience of the flesh be plucked up by the roots and cast away with its abundance of un- wholesome fruit ? Does God tell us we "have need of patience,” and then fail to help us in our need ? Nay. verily. But He who has said : "Ye have need of patience," whis- pers in your heart and mine. as He did in the impatient heart of Paul as he fretted under his thorn in the flesh : “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made per- fect in weakness." The grace and strength of God are able to keep the Christian soldier standing wait- ing patiently for the reward of the promise. They are pow<zrful enough to conquer the most impatient heart and make the tribulations of life blossom into the beautiful and fra- grant flowors of patience,” but blessed be God forever, we have a god who "can supply all our need."
