Every  one  was  talking  low,  with  sad  and  anxious
looks.  But  we  know  that  God  still  reigns  and  will
do  what  is  best  for  us  all.  Perhaps  we're  "  putting
our  trust  too  much  in  princes,"  forgetting  the  Great
Ruler,  who  alone  can  create  or  destroy,  and  there-
fore He  has  taken  from  us  the  arm  of  flesh  that
we  may  lean  more  confidingly  and  entirely  upon
Him.  I  trust  that  the  men  who  committed
these  foul  deeds  will  soon  be  brought  to  jus-
tice.
Sunday,  Easter  Day,  'April  16. — I  went  to  church
this  morning.  The  pulpit  and  choir-loft  were  cov-
ered with  flags  festooned  with  crape.  Although  a
very  disagreeable  day,  the  house  was  well  filled.
