OLD AGE.

Pleasant View Of tho Transition from
the Summer into the Winter Of Life.
Now. it is quite true that the great
majority If men, and even many good
Christians. can not attain to the
thought of happy old age without a
hard struggle. We have q natural
reluctance to the feeling that we arc
growing old; we put it away; and
when something at last forces it upon
lis. it is like the rush of an armed man
from an ambush. or the flake o: the
first snow to tell us that the long. sum-
mer days are gone. and that winter is
at hand. And yet rs you may have
seen. it is the transition which is the
most painful When the first days OF
brown October show US the fresh
green leaves of summer, now sere
and yellow. dropping from the boughs
undor the wind that walls through the
thin woods We can not help feeling
of sadness creeping over the hear. But
when winter has come it has its own
enjoyments; there is the long, quiet
evening. the cheerful gleam of the
hearth, the closer bosom of the family
and of friendship the pleasant memo
ries Of summer: and the hopes of its
return-these give to winter its glad.
ness, and even its glow. If We are in
this transition. or nearing it, we
should seek TO realize it, and to rise
above it by looking forward. Every
time of life to q true man is only
transition TO something better. Il
am growing old; yes. l am growing
old; Lord. leach me TO count my
days, and to look not so much visit
fully back as hopefully forward. for
ward. forward to the quiet peace and
happy thoughts which God can give
in winter, aud sill further. to the day
when winter shall be past, and the
rains over and gone. and tho time OF
the singing of birds shall again have
come. "-Reu John ker, ID.
