son. In color, the foliage becomes NOR
and more beautiful as ii approaches it
inevitable decay aud tall, until all the hil
tops are glorious. So should humal
character become subimed by age ant
experience, mellowing aud ripening un
til the very glory of the next aud highe
life should be seen, imparting glow O
heavenly beauty even before he passes t
the heavenly life." Then referring t

imprisoned in diamonds--but celebrates
among the stars-those diamonds of til

love from the countenance of the God
man--the bridegroom of Heaven" II
