Up till now she has been a child, a little maid, a Bible-class student, a young communicant, a Sabbath-school teacher.

For never surely had a young communicant less to go upon than Mercy had that best morning of all her life.

But a year or two passes over, and the critical season arrives when our young communicant 'comes out,' as the word is.

Beneath the orange wreath sent from Paris, her face expressed the happy, surprised, and sweetly anxious look of a young communicant wrapped in her veil.

Admitted about twenty-five young communicants; kept two back, and one or two stayed back.

It was clear, as fresh and pure as a brooklet's ripple, from the mouths of the young communicants.

But, then, when a minister takes boldness to turn over the pages of his young communicants' roll for half a lifetime-ahme, ah me!

Mary took a "creepie" stool-hermother's footstool of old-andsat down by the young communicants to help them and show them what to do.
