he same sheet, the eight-year-old Julia adds her exhortation:-- Dear Cousin, I hope that you will say the Prayer which my Brother has written for you. I hear with regret that you are sick, and it is as necessary as ever that you should trust in God; love him, dear Henry, and you will see Death approaching with joy. Oh, what are earthly things, which we must all lose when we die to our immortal souls which never die! I cannot bear the thought of anybody who is dying without a knowledge of Christ. We may die before tomorrow, and therefore we ought to be prepared for death. This was scarcely cheering for Henry, aged ten; as a matter of fact, he was to have half a century in which to make his preparations. Some of the nursery recollections were the reverse of merry. When Julia was still a little child, the old housekeeper died. The children loved her, and Auntie Francis did not wish them to be saddened by the funeral preparations; she gave them a good dose of physic all round

on the Mount are very simple — no raptures, no ecstasies are promised. Blessed are all that seek the good of others and the knowledge of truth — blessed, simply that in so doing they obey the law of God, imitate His character, and coming nearer and nearer to Him shall find Him more and more in their hearts. One word about Unitarians. It is very wrong to say that they reject the Bible, simply because they interpret it in a different manner from the (so-called) orthodox, or that they reject Christ, because they understand him in one way, and you in another — while they emulate his wonderful life, while they acknowledge his divine mission, and the divine power of his words, why should they be said to despise him? ... During the years between 1843 and 1859, her life was from time to time shadowed by the approach of a great joy. Before the birth of each successive child she was oppressed by a deep and persistent melancholy. Present and future alike seemed dark to her; she wept for h<

he time of the imprisonment and death of John Brown, a very noble man, who should be in one of the many mansions of which Christ tells us, and in which I hope, dear, that you are nearer to Him than any of us can be.... You arrived, I think, at thrould have outlived me many years. But you are removed from us to grow in another world, of which I know nothing but what Christ has told me.... You used to keep me awake a good deal at night, and this sometimes made me nervous and fretful, thoughte. But, my little darling, it comforts me to think that your sweet soul lives, and that you do know something about me. Christ said, This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise : and he knew that this was no vain promise. So, believing the dear Chrlost you, and how I suffer for you, and He knows how and when I shall see you again, as I hope to do, my dearest, because Christ says we are to live again after this life, and I know that if I am immortal, God will not inflict upon me the pain of an

our own supreme, you are your own God, and self-worship is true atheism. It is better to use a bad man by his better side than a good man by his worse side. Christ said that he was older than Abraham. I think that he used this expression as a measure of value. His thoughts were further back in the primal Ideal necessity. He did not speak of any personal life antedating his own existence.... In his own sense, Christ was also newer than we are, for his doctrine is still beyond the attainment of all and the appreciation of most of us. There is no essential religious element in negation. Saw Booth in Hamlet --still first-rate, I think, although party kept me busy all day. It was pleasant enough.... ... My peace I give unto you is a wonderful saying. What peace have most of us to give each other? But Christ has given peace to the world, peace at least as an ideal object, to be ever sought, though never fully attained. September 10....

sermon was liberal,--the latter half sentimental and sensational. The love of Christ constraineth us, but he dwelt far too much on the supposition of a personal and emotional relation between the soul and Christ. It is Christian doctrine interpreted by human sympathy that reclaims us. Christ lives in his doctrine, influences usChrist lives in his doctrine, influences us through that, and his historical personality. All else is myth and miracle. What Christ is to-day ideally we may be able to state, of what he is really, Mr. X. knoChrist is to-day ideally we may be able to state, of what he is really, Mr. X. knows no more than I do, and I know nothing. Stayed to Communion, which was partly pleasant. But the Episcopal Communion struck me as dismal, compared to our own. It little made out. Our Unitarian Communion is a feast of joy. The blessedness of Christ's accomplishment swallows up the sorrow of his sacrifice. We have been commemoents one gets a clearer and nearer perception of the thought and personality of Christ than that which we commonly carry with us. Early in October came the move home

tee on Cretan Fair.... Felt overcome with fatigue, and nervous and fretful, but I am quite sure that I do not rave as I used to do.... January 26. Some mental troubles have ended in a determination to hold fast till death the liberty wherewith Christ has made me free. The joyous belief that his doctrine of influences can keep me from all that I should most greatly dread, lifts me up like a pair of strong wings. I shall run and not be weary. I shall walk and not faint. At church the firste as the true bond of society, which lifted my weak soul as on the strong wings of a cherub. The immortal truths easily lost sight of in our everyday weakness and passion stood out to-day so strong and clear that I felt their healing power as if Christ had stood and touched my blinded eyes with his divine finger. So be it always! Esto perpetual On April 13 the fair opened; a breathless week followed. She was much exhausted after it, but in a few days began to rehearse for Festival. The

d. Many people outside and at the windows. She always remembered with pleasure one feature of her Easter sermon, her attempt to describe Dante's vision of a great cross in the heavens, formed of star clusters, each cluster bearing the name of Christ. The thought, she says, that the mighty poet of the fourteenth century should have something to impart to these illiterate negroes was very dear to me. One of the party has an undying impression of this Easter service: the shabby little chape get in to-morrow, not very late, unless another contrary gale. Frigate birds and petrels yesterday — to-day, whales, blackfish, and an immense number of porpoises. Revelation cannot go beyond human consciousness. The Western mind has taken Christ's metaphorical illustrations literally, and his literal moral precepts metaphorically. April 18.... Very thankful to have got through so well so far.

s like her companion, who only thought of the poor tortured bodies, could not bear the strain of it. From The Hague they went to Amsterdam, where they worked hard at seeing the rich museum, which contains some of the largest and best of Rembrandt's pictures, and much else of interest ; thence to Antwerp. Here she writes:-- To the Museum, where saw the glorious Rubens and Van Dycks, together with the Quentin Matsys triptych. Went to the Cathedral, and saw the dear Rubens pictures — my Christ in the Elevation of the Cross seemed to me as wonderful as ever. The face asks, Why hast thou forsaken me? but seems also to reflect the answer, from the very countenance of the Father.

— bought a cup of rhinoceros horn. On January 4 she is sad to leave Egypt-dear beautiful country! Jerusalem, January 5. I write in view of the Mount of Olives, which glows in the softest sunset light, the pale moon showing high in the sky. Christ has been here — here — has looked with his bodily eyes on this fair prospect. The thought ought to be overpowering--is inconceivable. January 9. In the saddle by half past 8 in the morning.

Could not stop long enough to touch the water. We rested in the shade of a clump of bushes, near the place where the baptism of Christ is supposed to have taken place. Our cans were filled with water from this sacred stream, and I picked up a little bit of hollow reed, the only souvenir I could find. Remounted and rode to Jericho. Near the banks of the Jordan we met a storm
