The pilgrim who seeks a home is not con-

ers beside the way. The sower lnoks onward
TO fields white and ready for the sickle
Wisdom has regard to the grand issue.-
The triumph or the pleasure of to day IN
transitory. We want hope that does not
sink with the setting sun. The true success
in life is that which does not fail the even
ings Of our days or leave them to blight or
barrenness We want that shout of 'har-

nature ale and what diciplinc will call them
forth. Some with plaintiye songs must walk
in iawly Wales of LIES weary way; others in
loftier hymns shall sing Of nothing but joy,

but they all unite without a discord or a
jar. as tSe ascending anthem of loving and
believing hearts find lis way into the chorus
Of the redeemed in heaven. a.,s.,-y ...
