Thus disguised, Sir Richard Daunt drove to the Stork Hotel. De sc- curcd a room there, giving the name of dolls)“, and an address in Paris. Next morning he embarked on board one of the Pacific steamers, and a. Couple of clays later landed at.

The hotel he lmd selected there was little better than a. mison meubleo ; bu-t, it was quiet, and out. of the way of English visitors. from the carriage into which Sir Richard Dmmt had entered. Instead of the young baronet, with his slight, active llgure. this was a per- son inclincd to corpulence, who walk- ed with the staid, pondcrous step of middle age. He wore trim-cut. whis- kers, and not the light brown beard of Sir Richard Daunt. His ‘hair also was; grey and very long. He was dressed in sober clothes, had a broud-brimmed hat. and round his neck a. rather crumpled white tie. His gold-rimmed spectacles increased the solemn”: of his grave face, and his whole appearance was that of- u.

High hope for the world ! 1 THE BEST THEY CAN. They tell you the number of drunk- eries in this country, but fail to mention the thousands of glorious chumhes with two doorsâ€"one door open for all who will enter for par- don and consolation and the other door opening into the heavens for the ascent of souls prepared for translation. Again, let me introduce the (:11.h ment of hope to those good people who are in despair about the world’s moral condition. They have gather- ed up appalling statistics. They tell of the number of divorces, but do not take into consideration that there are a thousand happy homes where there is one of marital disâ€" cord. They tell you of the large number in our land who are living profiigate lives, but forget to men- tion that there are many millions of men and Women who are doing lseas of glass mingled with fire, be- coming a more brilliant glass mingl- jing with a more ’ lhope.

The starting post will be the tombstone. Leaving the world will be graduation day beior~ the chief work of our mental :me spiritual career. Hope sees the door opening, the Victor’s foot in stirrup for the mounting. The day breaksâ€"first flush of the horizon. The mission of hope will be an ever- lasting mission, as much of it in the‘ heavenly hereafter as in the earthlv now. Shall we have gained all as soon as we enter realms celestialâ€" nothing more to learn, no other heights to climb, no new anthems to raise, a monotony of existence, the same thing over and over again for endless years ? No i More progress in that world than we ever made in this. Hope will stand on the hillsI of heaven and look for ever bright-t ening landscapes, other transfiguraâ€"l tions of color, new glories rolling over the scene, new celebrations of victories in other Worlds, heaven ris- ing into i night.” Why rest when they Work will be master workmen there 1;]eaven will have no loafers hanging around.
