THE BEATITUDES. Blessed are the poor in spirit,

Loving much, with much forgiven, These by grace do each inherit,

All the jcys and wealth of heaven.

Blessed are the contrite mourners Who are sorry for their sin.

They are found no more with scoffers, But their hearts have peace within.

Blessed are the meek and lowly, '

Jesus knows them, every one, And He gives them grace and glory,

While their earthly race they run.

Blessed are the hungry, thirsy, Seekers after righteousness.

They shall find the sweetest manna, And be filled with happiness.

Blessed he who loveth mercy, He shall find God's promise true.

He shall sing of loving kindness,,, Ever wondrous, ever new.

Blessed are the pure and holy, Everywhere they find their Lord,

Though they may be poor and lowly, They can- feast upon His word.

Blessed are the kind and peaceful, Scattering smiles where'er they go,

Saying, " Let us love each other,

Christ, Himself, hath loved us so."

Blessed still, if Jesus loves us, Though despised on earth we dwell,

We may trust Him still with gladness, For He doeth all things well.

Blessed, blessed, are His children. He will bring them in His love,

To the mansions now preparing, To His beauteous home above.

ANGEL GUESTS. BY OLIVE F. CHANDLER.

We love our angel guests who call, With joy we let them in;

They bear us peace from realms op high,

Away from hate and sin. -

They come each month with Olive Leaves, Each leaf doth glow with love;

Each fibre bears a gem of peace, The young and sage to soothe.

They greet with cheer, the heart inspire, To do some kindly deed;

To put to shame all strife and hate, And strive to be agreed.

We bid them wplcome to our hearts, Receive the boon they bring;

They're sent to us from realms of peace, Then let them with us live.

THE ROYAL ROAD. "What is the 'royal road,' I wonder?" asked

Bertie Bell, one day, of his father. "It says here. tiiere is no royal road to learning."

"I suppose that means that there is no easy roa to learning. It always has been, and always will be, a way of hard work."

"Then a royal road is an easy road, is it?9" "I hardly think you would find it so my bo y

Kings and princes do not have the pleasant paths to walk in that we think. But L know one truly royal road that is what it claims to be."

"What is that! " asked Bertie. -

The path of life.' All who walk in it are the chit' dren of a King.- Their great Father is the aker a well as the ruler of the orld. I hope -y bo see how good it-is to walk in this royal roadi"
