soul with the thought of Heaven

wicked. and as long as you coptid
your sin you will be miserable
to Christ. Make Him your portion
start for Heaven, and you will be
man-you will be happy woman
Yet, my friends, notwithstanliu
these inducements to spirit ofco]
ment, l have to tell you this md
the human race is divided int1
classes-those who scold and tbos|
get scolded. The carpenter wants
anything but a carpenter, and the
anything but mason, and the b
anything but a banker, and the /
anything but a lawyer, and the mil
anything but a minister, and ever
would be happy if he were only
body else. The anemone wants to
sunhower. and the apple orchards
down their blossoms because the
not tall cedars, and the scow wants
a schooner, and the sloop would Ii
be seventy-four FOUNDER, and pa
have the worst children that ever
and everybody has the greatest mi
tune, and everything is upside dow
going to be. All! my friends, you
make any advance through sucha !
as that. You cannot fret yourself
you may fret yourself down. Ami ,
this grating Of tones I strike this 4
of the Gospel harp: "Godliness
contentment is great gain. We tre)
nothing into the world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out
ing food and raiment let us thels|
be content.
Let us all remember, if we are q
tians, that we are going after av,
whatever be our circumstances now
have a glorious vacation. AS in SUD
we put off our garments and go a
into the cool sea to battle, so we vil|
off these garments of flesh and step
the cool Jordan. We will look ard
for some place to lay down ourTd
ness: and the trees will say: Come
rest under our shadow" and the 4
will say: Come and sleep ln|
bosom;" and the winds will say: III
while l sing thee cradle hymn;
while six strong men carry us out to
last resting place, and ashes cont
ashes and dust to dust, we will see
Scared feet standing amid the tEa
soil, and a lacerated brow bending
the open grave, while a voice, te1
with all affection and mighty with
omnipotence, will declare: i am
resurrection and the life; he that
lieveth in me, though he were dead,
shall he live" Comfort one ane'
with these words.
