How much more powerful that is than all the conventional pictures of light-houses on inaccessible cliffs, with white foam streaming from them like the ends of a schoolboy's comforter in a gale of wind!

There was of old a Divine Man, who had not where to lay his head, whom the wise of those days scoffed at as a crazy fellow, whom respectable people shunned, who made himself the companion of the poor, the comforter of the distressed, the helper of those in trouble, and the healer of diseases; who shrank neither from the man or woman of sin, nor from the loathsome leper, nor from sorrow and death for our sakes, whose gospel we now profess to live by, and
Every half- step he attempted was like a dislocation. His groans and grunts were frightful. "How much did that hat cost, Benson?" said Adrian, as he put it on his head. "A five-and-twenty shilling beaver, Mr. Hadrian!" Benson caressed its injuries. "The cheapest policy of insurance I remember to have heard of!" said Adrian. Benson staggered, moaning at intervals to his cruel comforter.
I got my glasses on him and made out a short, stout figure clad in a mackintosh, with a woollen comforter round its throat. As I watched, it made a movement as if to rub its nose on its sleeve. That was the pet trick of one man I knew. Inconspicuously I slipped through the long heather so as to reach the road ahead of the gig.
And more than once, when "the island" in the middle of the pond was a very fairyland of hoar-frosted twigs and snow-plumed larches, I have seen its white loveliness rudely shaken, and skating round to discover the cause, have beheld Jem, with cheeks redder than his scarlet comforter, return an "accidental" shove with interest; or posed like a ruffled robin redbreast, to defend a newly-made slide against intruders.

It is not improbable that every revival of religion, every fresh and deeper baptism of the Spirit, every new infilling of individual souls, has been due to our Saviour's strong cryings on our behalf.

Mark's tete-a-tete had been with his sister May, to whom he had much to tell of his wife and her gallant patience and energy, and how curious it was that now the incubus that had weighed on his uncle's household was removed, the prejudice had melted away, and he had grown so fond of her that, next to Ursula, she was his best comforter. 'I hope that will lead to more, said May.
Suddenly he looked up. 'I want to tell you of a girl I know. Her mother died when she was about sixteen the eldest of a large family.
