The costest blood Of earth has been its free and
noble tribute The grandest endcavog that hu-
man annals have ever marked, has been given to
it's support. Men have rlsen up against tyrannies

all as nothing in the comparison OF Duty and
thus have striven for human welfare! Yea! may
it be found amid that sweeter, nobler Day, 10
which this shall arise and in whose Glory this
shall end-wben we shall stand before the Inn

nence of Eternity-that we have done throughout
onr life what God commanded; that human Law
has never bowed US to dlsobedience of Him that
we have actualzed His will on Earth, have
honored Him as our great Sovereign have sought
the guidance which He could give us, have used
for Him our utmost force hayepouredsour Lie into
His work, and now ready to enter into Rest!
