that it pleased God to take upon himself the
form Of man, to humble himself as SER
want, and, being found in the fashion Of
man, to give himself up to death, and the
death of the cross, that we, through him, as
a new and living way, might rise to our true
manhood, and to our fatherhood in God.
There has been a special provision. l will
not say that it has been superadded to ma
ture. I will say that as the twig shoots out
from the branch, so this atoning work of
Christ has shot out from the divine econ
omy. 1t was a part OF Gods plan that
Christ should make atonement for the sins
of the world. That atonement has been
made. That redemption has been prepared.
Now take heed while it is time. Do not
let the day of grace pass by. Before it is too
late lay those true foundations which no
man can lay except in Jesus Christ. Build
on Christ; and in the royal day when you
stand at the throne OF God, you will not
stand in the robe of your OWE righteousness
but in the robe OF Christ's righteousness;
and on your head shall rest crown
which the Savior shall put there; and he
shall say to you, "Well done, good and
faithful servants, enter into the joy of my
Father

Chatting bhtfely on the way,
In the morning fire. h and cool,
Going to the district schoOi.
From the shady farmhouse door
Mother watches, II no II ore
She can fOilOw-Out of sight
They are gone, her heart delight.
Can you see them sitting there,
On the benches hard and bare,
Tired feet swinging TO and fro,
Coming DER the lessons low
Sitting at the noon OF school,
By the gurgling stream!et cool,
'MOng he brakes and bending trees,
Eating up the bread and cheese
Or, with merry laugh and shout,
When the boys anu girls 20 out,
Books and pencil, cast away,
See them jump and swing and play.
Hark tie ferule on the pane,
Rap and rap and rap again:
Rushing in with cheeks aglOw,
% II iii reluctantly they go.
Glide the busy hours away,
llli the warm sun west m ray
Siants across tee open door,
And the hours OF school are Ger.
Happy, healthy girl and boy,
tuil of simple, careless JOY,
Free from tyrant fashion rule,
Going to the district school.
In the busy noon of life.
Midst it, rest ess fever strife,
As your pathway shall divide,
From the ro5ttree wandering wide,
Mem cries of the morning hours,
Song of bird and scent Of flowers,
BEAT OF lambs, and song Of rill,
VIII come sweetlg o er YOU still.
And your thoughts 90 yearniug back,
Der the simple chlidhood track,
Whom the longest road YOU knew
Was the one that lead you to
The chOolhouss, one nile away,
Where the birch AMI rlle held sway.
