BY ELDER IT, d. BOW EN-, OF HANDSOME.
The apostle James says: "What is
your life? II is even a vapOr that APP
pcarcth for a little season and then
. v%anisheth away" While tho word of
God and human experience teach us
the brcvity and uncertainty of human
life, human natures expects not the
vcI LITIGATION of it in the deceasc of the
vigorous youth. The aged sire aud
matron pass away, and II is no sur
prise. They lived out their allotted
time and the helpless infant is taken
and human nature uttcrs 10 surprise
it was So helpless and immature, but
when the bright, vigorous hopeful
youth expires, human nature stands
in dumb amaZement. Alas, how is
this? There is no solution ofthe mys-
terry to be found among the sons of
men. /
Our world is full of special provi-
dences. Were It not so we could not
believe ina God of providence. The
hand that guides the angels in their
courses, aud that marks the route of
the scraph, moves among the children
OF men In perfect accord with the pur-
poses ofthe Sovereign of the Universe,
'fWho wOrkcth all thilgs after the
counsel oil Ills W will" Many of
these providences are to us inscruta-
bic. We may never understand the
why was this or that, till in the light
of that clOudless eternal day VIC may
know. Infinite mercy has woven a 4
veil before our eyes that, not seeing,
we may live the l.fc of faith in Him a

we may safely trust in darkness as !
