The  Empress  Catharine  bore  in  her  bosom  a
picture  of  Peter  the  Great,  and  in  every  hour  of  per-
plexity she  would  draw  it  fortli  and  inquire,  "What
would  Peter  say  ?"  So  the  child  of  God  is  reminded
with  each  recurring  Sabbath  of  his  glorious  Ancestor,
and  is  lead  to  utter  the  cry,  "What  would  the  King-
say?"  He  is  summoned  to  review  his  life,  orient  his
position,  deplore  his  errors,  and  reform  his  plans.
With  the  dawn  of  the  holy  day  he  lays  aside  rude
speech,  vulgar  habits,  and  vindictive  dispositions  as
soiled  garments.  On  that  day  the  pilgrim  examines
maps,  reviews  his  journey,  and  makes  sure  his  course.
