REST.

AS
The world is full Of toilers. There is no
life, either dark or bright bu5 finds toll nee
essary in some form.
There are as many different ideas of rest
as there arc various kinds Of toll and weari-
ness.
10 all, there is some beautiful mirage
lust ahead, urging the traveller to greater
energy, patience, and perseverance. Too
often when the haven of our desires is
reached it is as much of an illusion as the
mirage Of the desert.
Alluring only to deceive and disapnAint,
oftentinaes wreck and ruin. Those who
lead a busy life, one filed with duties fol-
lowing each other without intermission. i'm
agine that a total cessation OF care and toll
would be perfect rest.
And yet rest is not quitting this busy life.
II we fit ourselves to our sphere and rest
quietly in the rims where God has placed
as. then, and not till then have we have at
tanned rest.
Were the great ocean to cease its com
slant motion for a day even. all Of its life
giving properties would be impaired and
haps destroyed. Motion and ceaseless action
is its life, and imparts life to the Myriads
who find their homes in the briny deep.
Did not the atmosphere change continual
ly by its upward and downward currents,
how soon would our lungs become poisoned
by the foul gases, instead Of being strength
ened by the pure oxygen which is generated
by air in motion. 1t is we'll that God did
spring of life-the heart. floods hand did
not rest on the lever, keeping the action con-
slant, how often man would forget or ne
glec. to wind up the machine, and stop to
rest.
Here rest would be death, IS we see it is
everywhere in nature. Each time the storm
beats against the tiny oak tree it strikes its
roots deeper and firmer into mother earth
and gains strength; the struggle produces
lite where rest would cause it to he ~uprooted
thies, the more they are called out the broad
err and deeper do they become, receiving life
in its most beautiful form, and imparting all
of its graces to others. Every good deed,
thought or word goes on. rs ripples widen,
carrying sunshine and JOY in their train. 1t
is not quitting, but change, that brings rest.
Natures which have all the powers and
energies at work, thinking and doing for
others, find a bliss in toll and Il rest of mind
from which a rest of body naturally follows.
After all.
"'Tis loving and serving
The highest aud best;
'Tis onward unswerying,
And this is true rest.
