After that the story was of two women living sola cum solâ one wholly for the other suspected, if not disliked, by their neighbours, and for their part alien in all their thoughts and standards; since the artist's widow could not forget that he had been the favourite pupil of Peter Paul's old age, or that her father had counted quarterings.

So that for time we are safe and our eternity is sure. Was there ever such a catalogue of mercies? It is a good thing to study Paul's "therefores." He is a logician of the highest type. In Romans 5:1, there is the "therefore of justification." In Romans the eighth chapter and the first verse there is the "therefore of no condemnation."

Up and walked to Paul's; and by chance it was an extraordinary day for the Readers of the Inns of Court and all the Students to come to church, it being an old ceremony not used these twenty-five years, upon the first Sunday in Lent. Abundance there was of Students, more than there was room to seat but upon forms, and the Church mighty full. One Hawkins preached, an Oxford man.

So we were silent, but the strange murmuring still went on, coming apparently from the wall of the cave behind us, and it occurred to me that I had once heard something like it before, though at the time I could not think where. Afterwards I remembered that it was when, as a boy, I had been taken to see the Whispering Gallery in St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

You know, my lord, the prediction runs, that the plague will rage till the living are no longer able to bury the dead." "It will soon come to that," said the earl shuddering slightly, "if it continues increasing much longer as it does now daily. How do the bills of mortality run to-day?" "I have not heard. Hark! There goes St. Paul's tolling twelve."

And in his splendour he stands head and shoulders above his generation and many generations. That is the man. Now for the thorn. Something came into Paul's life that was a constant irritation. He calls it a thorn. What a graphic word!

'This world' here, in my text, is more properly 'this age, which means substantially the same thing as John's favourite word 'world, viz. the sum total of godless men and things conceived of as separated from God, only that by this expression the essentially fleeting nature of that type is more distinctly set forth. Now the world is the world to-day just as much as it was in Paul's time.

My first walk, after I had found a home in London, was to the Post-Office, to look for letters from my friends in America, This was about three miles off. I returned a different way, and took a look at the exterior of St. Paul's. St. Paul's Cathedral, the noblest building in England in the Classic style. Its length from east to west is 550 feet and its height to the top of the cross 370 feet.

At present you are not able to earn much. Two or three years hence will be time enough." Paul's face brightened as the sexton said this. He instinctively felt that Mr. Cameron was right.

"And what am I to do?" asked Hester, secretly relishing the prank, for she was dying with curiosity to behold Paul's cousin. "You are to do the talking with the old woman, and give me a chance to look. Now say you will, and I'll behave myself like an angel in return."
