Very few of us have golden part: This
is the SEQUEL of we'll spent life. This is
the part that enables men and women 70

Bishop Haven's long and usefal life had
its golden part He had duplicated his
talents. His death, as Christian, may be
classed with st. Paul's, and the most dis
tipguished saints OF the Church at any
p.fiod in the history of the Church. He
was one of the few that received the seed
into his heart, and, when it grew, 1t brought
forth hundred fold to eternal life.
His death was one of the most complete
triumphs Of faith witnessed in this age OF
the world. His life was ripe and full OF
great and good works for his Master, and
his death, the rich golden foliage, that will
never lose any of its lustre in eternity, was
the golden part of his well spent life.
Bishop Haven was Methodist, and true
Christian. Young man and young woman,
you both will havelyour sunny and shad-
owy parts in this lite, and, you may have
your golden parts, too.
The golden part is not the heritage OF us
ALL 1t only comes after we'll spent lie.
If we don't improve our talents, so as to
double them, we Will have no golden part;
no beautiful foliage Will fall on our last
days, and keep green our resting pla'e.
The sunny and shadowy parts OF life, are
the certain heritage OF US all, but the
golden part is not. The race is to but one
the winner. Young reader, you may be
mination to win, and you will succeed.
II you desire golden part to your exist
ence here and hereafter, you will have to
live and work for it. You will have to put
your money on interest to the uSuers at a
high rate of interest, if you wish to double

golden past to your life, you will be forced
to exclaim, and say, 81 am not saved yet.
My life is blank and failure"
1t is said that as long as life lasts there is
hope. This is not a safe refuge to fall back
on. Hope deferred maketh the soul sick.
Now is the time-not tomorrow. Begin 10
make a man or woman of yourself now;
and it won't be so hard to commence as at
another day. We can't begin to do good
too soon. Opportunities will not always be
at our disposal. The sunny and the shadowy
parts will all soon pass away, and none but
the golden is eternal.
