Jelly s-a ml wiches. raisin and mu •nmhviehes, using brown bread, gra ham. or crackers or light bread, ce nod biscuit are very nice, also a hreao uul butter sandwich, a tea cake o ookie. a piece of milk chocolate, and i: t per-on has a thermos bottle it is nice to till with hot chocolate in winter ot lemonade or milk in the summer. These and many other fords may ho used to fix up nice lunches. If every sandwich is wrapix'd separately and ail packed neatly in a box it makes a child hungry to open the hox. especially f he is not feeling so very well.

Put these sepulchral shades to flight— Flash out, 0 resurrection light— Lord Jesus quickly come! Come with Thy beauteous diadem, Come with embattled cherubim. Come with the shout of seraphim. Come on Thy seat of radiant cloud, Come with archangel’s timmpet loud. Come. Savior, let the heavens be bowed— Lord Jesus quickly come! And when Ihe astonished heavens shall flee, When powers of earih and hell to Thee Shall bend the reverential knee— In that great day of doom Be ours the happy lot to stand Among the white-robed, ransomed band And hear Thee say with outstretched hand— “Ye blessed children.
