"Bread Cast Upon the Waters."

By Merritt E. Cornell

WHILE waiting for the cars at the Rail Road Depot in Sandusky City, Ohio, I saw a large Bible lying upon the center table, (an unusual, but commendable arrangement,) upon opening which, I found written upon the blank leaves some very appropriate and timely remarks. On the same page were sentiments emanating from darkened minds, and penned by sacrilegious hands. As the eye glanced over the dark scraps, it rested upon the following, and hailed it as "light in a dark place."

M. E. CORNELL.
