COPS GREEr1Nus.-God grccts many a
one who never observes, and many more who
his sun wakes thee to the enjoyment of another
day Of life and health, it is as if he said 10
thee, "Good morning!' and when, at even
tide, thine eye closes in peaceful slumbcr, it is
because God hath bid thee "Good night"

When, on some early summer morning, thou
walkcst about amid the bossoming flowers
aud the singing birds, and thy heart feels light
and joyful is not God saying to thee 'Wel-
come to thy palace garden p

out thou knowing how or why, the heart is
moved to good thoughts and thou bcgnnest
to feel sorrow for having done wrong, and
desire to do better, is not thy Heavenly Fath-
er saying to thee "Oh, grieve,not my Holy
Spirit which now sits within thee 2"

resources at fifteen, with the world all before
him where to choose, and lie fights the battle
Of life single-handed up to manhood, and don't
develop an average share Of executive ability
then there is no stuff in HIM worth talking
about lie may learn to "plow, and SOW,
and reap and mow," but this can all be done
with machines and horses, and man wants
to be something better than either of these
Wipe out of your vocabulary such word as
fill, give up wishing for improbable results,
put your hand to the plow, or whatever tool
you take to, and then drive on and never look
back. Don't ever sight your person to see if
it is straight; "don't be consistent, but sim
ply true" IF you go TO see a reed shaken
by the wind" ii is pretty likely you will ncv-
