THE SUN.DIAL.

Gotthold was once looking at his sun
right, and, as usual with him. he asked
himself what he could learn from it besides
the time of day. "Dials," said he are
doubtless very useful for the purpose of
aseertaining the time, but if the sun does
not shine on them, they are of no more
worthy than a piece of blank slate"
With US it is exactly the same. With
out the grace of God, or deprived of the
quickening and enlightsning influences of
His Holy Spirit, we, too, are good for
nothing, whatever our talents and posi-
ton in life may be. Those who seem to be
wise are not SO without heavenly rays to
illuminate them, and the most prudent adj
visers will be the most apt to 60 wrong
when their understanding and Judgment
are not enlightened by the beams of grace.
The minds often fall into the most fatal er-
rors when they fail to humbly seek to catch
their wisdom from the rays of the Sun of
Righteousness.
To- day the sun shines, and the dial is an
infallible guide; tonight it wells its face,
and what can the dial tell you about the
hour So our most ingenious intellects
are uncertain when no longer drawing
their light from God. Not only may they
while seeming to be correct lead others
astray; but without Gods aid would even
lose the light of reason as they often do,
and with it the respect of those who had
often before profted by their reflected
wisdom

d" Let Us Speak Well Of Our Brother -

On! be not the first to discover
A blot Oh the fame of a friend,
a flaw in the faith of another
Whose heart may prove true to the end
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue:
And thus our belief'may be shaken
1n.hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile Of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet,
To cover soul full of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest!
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms the purest. sincerest,
Have secrets they connot reveal!
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error may fall;
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
