And if solitude is essential in our ordinary, every-day life we can be quite certain that it is imperative is our religious life. For when we come to study the lives of the Saints of all ages, we find that their greatest experiences came to them ip solitude. The cinssical example is Eljal God did not speak to him in the great and overwhelming catastrophe which he witnessed. The earthquake and the fre terrified and abased him. but God chose to speak to him in the still, small voice. And the same Liedly experience is true of Jacob, of St. Patrick in the woods, of St. Cuthbert on the Downs, and of the ordinary men and women of all ageJ. And we do, well to look at the example of our Lord. He had thirty years of apparent allenge to three years of specch. Ten years of preparation for one at publicly. It is evident. therefore, that if God is to be found at all, it is! OBTAINABLE EVERYWHERE. easier to find Him i silence. This is one l
of the first laws in the spiritual life.
SOUL DESTROYING PLEASURE.
I then this is true, it, seems a great pity that we have in a multitude of cases, inished solitude from our lives, and the result of our morden city life is that we lize in crowds; there is hardly a moment, when we are without the possibility of having to talk and a good deal of it is very small talk indeed. Most of our spare tine is spent in the pursuit of pleasure, a good thing in its proper place. but ja this Colony vastly overrated, and car ried on to such a pitch that it often be cuines soul-destroying. Amid all the dust and noise and glitter of life many Have lost or failed to find, the fës" ever-present meanings of life that exist in, and arise from, the perfect will of God for every human soul. We spend our lives in the whirl of external things until, by God's grace, one day we awake to the fact that the only life that really matters is the buried life within the soul. Then we sit still and look into our hearts, and many of us sicken as we look

.. VALUE OF CHRISTIAN MILENCE. How then cau we rise above the din and turniot of our daily life? It is, think, true to say that most of us here lead a somewhat strenuous life. To fact, there are times when some of us think that our work is positively indispensible - aurc aign that we should go home on leave. But every one of us can take from his working day at least twenty minutes, generally devoted to unnecessary con- versation or reading, and keep, silence.
