est away.
To Thee mans life tho four-score years, seems
but aday.
Thy ways inscrutable to finite minds
When most Thou lowest, Thou seemest most un-

For :nercies past we praise Thee Lord, and now
To Thy supreme decree, Thy creatures bow.
As mortals. well we know. we mnst put on
The garb immortal. e'er we can be one
With Thee in Christ. or sit among the blest-
Near Thy celestial throne in peaceful rest.
Take now our dear one, and, for Thy lows sake,
His soul into Thy heavenly keeping take
May we. the number of our days being told,
With Him, among the Saints, be soon enrolled

There is evident distinction between the
righteous and the wicked here on earth. The
difference between then in death and on the day
of Judgment, will only be continuance of the
difference that existed between the same charac-
ted nor disregarded in the last day. All religion
is founded upon the difference between good and
evil-upon the superiority Of virtue over vice.
Christianity did not originate this distinction,

toward the North, IN the place where the tree
falleth, there it shall be. Eccl. II, g. The hour
