A useful lesson is to be drawn from the
lives of two such lovely types of old age,
as have recently passed from our midst:
Mother Bean of South Barton and Moth
have enjoyed the blessing of their pres
ence, these words are needless, for the
lives of such persons exert more potent
influence than any words of eulogy; but
to those who have not been thus favored
l might point to some traits in their char
acters, which the young and middle-aged
would do well to emulate. The burden
of thought and conversation of these
aged saints seemed to be, first, gratitude
to God for His unfailing mercies, and for
the consolation, comfort, and hope to be
found in His revealed word, and in the
hymns and songs of praise which pious
souls have bequeathed to us. Next, graf
itude to those who cared for them, and
for the neighborly kindnesses they were
constantly receiving. If they knew what
it was to feel the stings of neglect or in
justice it was passed over in silence,
while the pleasant side of those with
whom they came in contact was constant
ly commented upon. Even in sickness
their spirits assumed an attitude to re-
bound as soon as the shackles of pain
were off. OF course, some lives are less
favored than theirs, but we can all try to
cultivate spirit of cheerfulness, of graf
itude to God and our fel!ow-men, ana
even if we seem to be quite hedged in by
suffering, sorrow and misfortune, we can
still let our minds dwell on the grand
possibilities awaiting us through Him
and the life" A FRIEND.
