Before the place where |
daily write, hangs calendar.
It is a miniature map of the
year. The months are in capi-
tails, the days in numerals. When
a day is gone | draw my pen
over the figure. I blot out
that day. So I have often said
to myself, but I am startled at
the words and the thought, "a
day blot it out!'
What is a day? A section
of my own existence link in
the chain Of my own probation
Ia certain measure Of the
stream that flows ON to immOr-
tality. 1t came obeying no call
of man-it departs with no pow
er of mine to retain it, / did
not give it, and can not keep it.
1t is perfectly independent of
me. / blot it out! No more
than I can the sun. aA1
A day-it has record Of
my emotions and my actions.

Each hour is a craving tool and
writes a portion Of my history.
The record is visible, but be-
yond my reach. / blot it out !

shadow of a shade | might

is over and the record complete,
I blot it out! No. No more

IF God be taken as a witness
to our aims, no other is needed
to establish the fact or to
perpetuate the record of what
we do.

A HOUSE uninhabited soon
comes to ruin, and a soul unin-
habited by the Holy Spirit Of
God verges faster and faster to
destruction.
