Past Experiences.

Many mourn because they do not see
and feel all they saw and felt at some
particular period in the past, and dis
courage themselves by supposing that
this change indicates declension and loss.
They also waste much time and strength
IN striving to regain the views and feel
ings Of the past. In this way most
blessed experience becomes a snare. A
man who takes long journey passes
through many delightful scenes, in some
OF which he would gladly sit down and
rest forever, but if he did this he could
not gain the point for which he set out.

the same sights and feelings all through
his way, and therefore discouraged when
ne passes through scenes less fertile and
beautiful. The fact that to-day's expert
eence is not so delightful as yesterday s
IS no reason for Encouragement. The
less delightful may be the more ad-
Yanced. Besides this, it is neither wise
nor profitable to measure ourselves by
ourselves. The question should be, not

Am l what [ ought to be, and what
God desires me to be?" Gam l less like

examination of ourselves will yield far
