People in this neighborhood
seem to be as happy as uncaged
birds, since they have emerged from
an-an-well, almost antediluvian
to a postdeluvian world. Farmers
are making good use of their time
during this delightful weather, that
can't be surpassed by a semi tropi-
cal climate. Oats are being sowed
by the wholesale. Hill-sides and
valleys are crumbling under the
ameliorating influence of the bull
tongue and Avery plows. In fact,
a spirit of industry seems to perme-
ate the entire community, with one
exception. But all that exception
is as immoveable as the Alps apd as
impenetrable as the chinese walls.
An attempt to lombard the man in

to Melchisedec, inasmuch as it is
without begining,of days and end

is to be tried as soon as the trium-
virate convenes for hauling two
loads of wood a day when only one

while the atmosphere is cool and
bracing is unobjectionable; but

in their graves shall hear the voice
of the Son of God, and come forth.
Then shall come your darling boy
with the victor crown. Jordan's
waves nor deaths cold flood could
not impede his progress to the
banks of sweet deliverance, where
he is now basking in the smiles of
Him who has said ''sufier little chill

your boy taken from the Savior's
arms-frOm the society of a com
pany of innumerable angels-from a
sweet home in that city whose
builder and maker is God-from
that place where the tree of life is
always blooming an eternal
home at Gods right hand, and re-
turn to the valley and shadow of
death? Oh, no! no!l no!l! mot my

who have manifested more love and
true parental care than did the
father and mother Of the deceased.
This should help to still your
troubled breasts. But before clos

the road that leads to their child
that twas lost, but now is found"
Not lost in sin. He knew no sin.
Lost from the gaze of mortal eyes,
but found where God and angels |
dwell. That road is Christ. There
is a way-bill called the new tesla
ment, Christ's last will. Take this,
and follow its directions carefully
and prayerfully, and one day you
and your darling boy will be re
united by cords of love that can
never be severed. We tender to the
bereaved parents our full sympathy. |
