he preached sermon which contained this
beautiful illustration "Life bears us on like
the stream of mighty river. Our boat
glides down the narrow channel, through the
playful murnurig of the little brook and the
windings of its grassy borders. The trees
shed their blossoms over our young heads,
the lowers on the brink seem TO offer them.
selves to our young hands we are happy in
hope, and we grasp eagerly at the beauty
around US; but the stream hurries on and
still our hands are empty. Our course in
yoath and manhood is along wider and
deeper flood, among objects moro striking
and magnificent We are animated at the
moving picture and enjoyment and industry
passing us we are excited at some short
lived disappointment. The stream bears us
on, and our joys and griefs are alike left be-
hind. We may be shpwreoked. we cannot
be delayed; whether rough or smooth, the
river hastcns to its home, till the roar OF the
ocean is on our ears, and the tossing of the
waves beneath our feet, and the land lessons
from our eyes, and the foods are lifted up
around US, and we take our leave OF earth
aud its inhabitants, until of our further yoy-
age there is no witness save the Infinite and
