To every day life we meet those who,
FROM the lofty tenor OF their motives
would scorn to do low, base or impure
act, and the inscribing angel Is daily wri-
ting them IN characters m bright a. the
light from the Throne of God. Could
men have stood with the Infinite whom lilo
babe chaos live. when He clothed space
with numberless worlds, would have seen
motives high a. Heaven, pure a. His own
spotlessness. God never made leaf TO
spring aud grow, nor placed flower In
its emerald vase without motive. lie
never swung out q star In the ether, or
rippled wave on the bosom Of the ocean;
Ills artillery never doomed across tic arch
Of Heaven, nor His lightning flashed at
the discharge; He never created the thous.
and. voiced harp Of the winds aud forest.
or bird calling from It's blue air throne
to It's mate in the valley; Henever launch.
cd cloud from the crimson shore with
It's capes Of pearl, nor placed rock glow.
ing ia the starlight as If dreaming Of the
Eden--land; lie never wove the sunlight
and water.drops into the rainbow, nor
swung back the golden gates OF dawn,
gently, noiselessly as the portals Of Heay.
en-; lie never muffled the heart beat, nor
set the ruby current flowing In the veins;
He did not rear the mountain, nor roll
the world with no click Of machinery,
without a motive worthy Of God
When we consider the uncertainty Of
human applause, and that those who we're
once greeted with confidence and unlim-
iisd enthusiasm, are now denounced rs
incarnations Of evil; while those who were
carried TO their graves by rbemalediotons
Of popular clamor, are now spoken Of as
Earths immorials. 1t is not we'll TO have
pure and lofty motives to 20 straight for
ward, true to our own convictions. and
calmly await the ultimate issuel Worthy
actions and intentions never die, and al
though we may be impeached while living,
yet ia the years TO come, when men Judge
the departed with unbiased mind, then il
We have been true we shall not fail TO re.
ceive justice Of men and commendation OF
God. Nj. ADDIE PATTERSON.
