Sunday-Sehool Lesson
FIRsT QUARTER, 1877.


1t is said of Philip Henry, that when
he had reached the age of three-scOre
and ten, he was accustomed to date his
letters, " The year of my death" And
| of both the older and the younger presi-
| dent Edwards, it is said that on the first
Sabbath of the years of their death each
preached on the text. This year thou
shalt de-" the text seeming almost a
! prediction of the departure OF each 20
that better land to which they were di
recting their hearers Death NAV not
come to us this year. And yet it may
come at any moment. But in view OF its
certainly coming soon, and in the posi-
bility that il may come al any moment
when we expect it not, dnes il not become
US to live in expectation and in rrepara-
ton for it? There are two words,
says another, "that may wei! TAX, up
much of our thoughts and cares, viz,
time and eternity: time becauee it is SO
fast passing away, and eternity because
it will soon begin; time because il will
soon be at an end, and eternity because
it will never enc"
1t was the new yOar's resolve of the
excellent Hannah More, "never TO pass
a day without thinking of the end OF
days, and never to pass an hour without
lifting up her heart to God, through
Christ, to aid her to live for him" And
an ancient sculptor, when asked why he
took such pains in part of beautiful
statue that would be concealed by the
wall of the temple, replied, The gods
will see IT," And as to every part of
our life, we should bear in mind that
God sees it, and should endeaVer so to
live as to be approved by him. On a
plain tablet in Westminster abbey is an
inscription over the remains of one who
was once eminent as a sculptor:
/" What / was, as sn artist, seemed Of soma im-
portence TO ma while I lived
But what vas, believer In Jesus Christ. is
the only thing Of importance to me nsv9"
And such will be the judgment of every
one of us as we look back from the
hour of death, or from the unseen world,
on our earthly life and state.
A departing or coming year is full OF
lessons to us-lessons we all should pom
der. The rules that some one has sug-
gested for the opening of every year and
FOR our guide through its days, if we are
spared to behold them, are full of wis
dom and safety: "Say nothing you
would not like God TO hear. Do nothing
you would not like God to see. Write
nothing you would not like Gsd TO read.
Go no where you would not like God to
60 with you. Read no book of which
you would not like God to say, show it
to me- Never spend your time in such
a way that you would not like God to
say, what art thou doing?'
50 endeavor to live, and life will be
continually preparing you fer death. and
death will neJer find you unprepared to
depart.
Dost thou ask, " When comes this hour "
Then. when II shall suit thee best
Trust HIS faithfulness and power,
Trust in Him, and quiet rest
Labor on and hope, and wait;
Jesus never comes too late
Suddenly though He may come.
IT'S TO bear thee to thy home.

Lumbermen-rheir Life and Work.

Three hundred men win cover and cut

over CO. 600 logs which would measure
about 1000 600 feet, each season. Work
begins at daylight and ends at dark; and

is started, work begins at three o'clock in
the morning and ends at pine o'clock in
the evening, the men having five meals
breakfast at six, lunch at nine, dinner at
twelve, supper at five and tea at nine.
The meals consist of pork ard beans,
corn bread, molasses cake, and tea or cof-
fec. No stint Is given to q mans appe-
tite. The fare, such rs it is is abundant,
mOnotonous, nutritious and cheap. A
cook is provided for every fifty men.
The beans are generally the large white
bush, par boiled in pots holding a half
bushel, then ten pounds Of pork is set in
the middle of the beans in the pot, a
quarter of pint Of molRsses poured into

coal, the top covered with a stone over
which heavy wood fire is built, and
here they stay from five 10 eight hours,

the baking is done in rudely built stone
ovens, which are heated before the dough
is mixed, with a good wood fire. The
ioaves of biscuit or cakes are set upon the
hot stones, and are cooked quick and
thoroughly. A camp Of 800 men will
consume daily four barrels of beans, half
a barrel of pork, one barrel of -four, half
a barrel of meat, one e-quarter of a barrel

The men are encamped in tents, making
their beds Of boughs, while their extra

Because the hand that, with a masters skill,

And sounds the Name above all other names,
With whose high praises even Heaven rings!

And winds the wanderer to the narrow gate
