Lies Autumn.

Like the leaf life has its fading. We
speak and think Of it with sadness just as We
think of the autumn season. But there
should be no sadness at the fading of life
that has done well its work If we rejoice
at the advent of new life, if we welcome the
coming of new pilgrim to the uncertainties
of this worlds way why should there be so
much gloom when all these uncertainties are
past, and life AT its waning wears the glory OF
a completed task2 Beautiful as is childhood
in its freshness and innocence, its beauty is
that Of untried life 1t is the beauty Of
promise, of spring, of the bud. A holier and
rarer beauty is the beauty which the waning
life Of faith and duty wears.
1t is the beauty Of thing completed and
as men come together to congratulate each
other when some great work has been achey
ed and seq in its concluding nothing but
eIadness, SO ought we to feel when the setting
sun filings back It's beams upon life that has
answered well liie's purpose. When the bud
drops are blighted, and the mildew blasts the
early grain, and there goes all hope of the
harvest, one may well be sad; but when the
ripened year sinks amid garniture of autumn
flowers and leaves, why should We regret or
murmurY And so a life that is ready and
waiting for the well done" of God, whose
latest virtues and charities are its noblest,
should be given back to God in uncomplain-
ing reverence, we rejoicing that earth IL capa-
bic of so much gladness, and is permitted such
virtue.
