grasses. All of a sudden he cried, Stop, the magic basket is ready. Pass it round and each one is to put his sweetest note in it."

A big thrush, which was on the lowest branch, took the basket in his mouth, sang a delicous note with the basket held close up to his beak and then it was passed from one bird to another.

Carrie had just £nished her music lesson and it was always a trial to them both. She really tried very hard: She counted very carefully "One, two, three, four" and if she

"What are you singing to yourself over there Carrie?" asked her mother.

"Singing, I didn't know that I was singing." she replied.

XVITH SUNDAY AFTER

TRINITY.

THE CHINA MAIL.`

This Sunday's Gospel gives the pathetic story of the raising of the widow's son at Nain, which is the second case recorded of Christ raising the dead. Thus the day bids us remember Christ as the vanquisher of all, disease and death, and touches Him the helper of all who need Him, even though it may mean the staying of what are called nature laws. This miracle stands out as a great example of Christ's compassion as an individual and personal ground for
