burst seams as they appear, but eventually the time
comes when she is compelled to say, “Papa, Billy
must have a new suit; the old one will no longer do.
He has outgrown it altogether, and I can no longer
patch it!’ And father then grumbles a little for
principle’s sake, but for all that goes and buys the

needed suit, way down in his heart proud of his *

Our Mission Board has
been mending and patching for years in the way of
putting up buildings here and there just as they
were absolutely needed, fully aware of the fact that
an extensive building program ought to be carried
out in order that the needs of our Missions might
be fully and adequately met. ‘Two years ago the
Board laid this matter before the Synodical Con-
ference and fully convinced our representatives that
buildings ought to be erected all over the field ap-
proximating a total cost of about $150,000. Word
was sent out among our people, but alas! the

Seeing Him Face to Face.

A blind girl whose eyes had been opened by a
surgical operation, says the Christian Herald, de-
lighted in seeing her father, who had a noble ap-
pearance and presence. His every look and motion
was watched by his daughter with the keenest de-
light. For the first time his constant tenderness
and care seemed real to her. Whenever he caressed
her or even looked at her kindly, it brought. tears
of gladness to her eyes. “T’o think,” she said, hold-
ing his hand closely in her own, “that I have had
this father for these many, many years and never
knew him!” ;

When we shall awake in the next life to the
glories of the divine Presence, we may in a similar
way voice our wonder over the fact that for many
years of our earthly life we had a heavenly Father,
yet never quite knew how great, how loving, and
how ready to bless He actually is! — Selected.
