Did you ever stop. In the midst of iife's
tumultuous hurry and furry, and think 70
yourself about the '''ast time that Is ON its
way 10 you and 10 mel There win be last
time for the careless good-by thrown 70 vito
and children as you hurry TO the morning
train. There win DO last time when your
step viii board the car and your form will
mingle with the crowd Of those who go about
business when the day Ii new. There will be
q last time 70 speak kind word instead Of
cross one, 70 give smile for frown.
There VIII DO last time 10 mingie In tho
city's busy stream Of life, TO mount your or
flee stairs aud sit at your desk. There will
be last tiine 10 seizs the chance Of honesty
ard Of npfightncas. T.,ero viii bo last
tinie 20 lunch, a Inst tlmn TO read the daily
papers, "a last time TO watch the sun go down.
There will 10 a last time 10 spend happy
evening at home, and bestow your company,
speech and manners upon the members Of
your own family circle. There will be last
time to say ''goo1 night" TO turn cot the
lamps and WOO the fckle goddess Of slunbtr.
There viii be u last midnight aud last now
dawning Of last day on Garth.
Knowing all this 10 be 30 true, how shall
no set about 70 keep tho vigil Of what rnay
b. the last hour we have To spendi Take tho
children flrst II an angel from heaven
cams suddenly down aad whispered In your
nos -ssfvao iasH "A I,. ks.<
tvelve moro hours 10 livel" how, think you,
would you Bet about to improve that timeI
Wcdld you be anxious about tho practice
hoars, tho dress, tho personal appearance Of
toe little ones you would soon have TO leavei
Would you stop TO train them how TO dance,
how 10 hold their hands In walking, how 10
poss or postlrei Would you stop to think Of
masters to teach them u play, to paint, or
70 charm tho shallow world with any gift Of
eliuring gracei Would you caro- whether
their dress was styiishly cut and made, or
their garments freshly laundried and dsintily
trimnedi Would you give q second thought
% any gift this world has In It's power TO
bcstow, whether Of wealth or beauty
or social honorf think not Fac
ing that last time to 10 together,
think your mind would turn TO sweeksr,
purer things, and yoa would say something
t0 this effect. "The time has come, my iittG
ones, when l must go and leave you. You
viii DO alone ia the world tomorrow, 20 far
cs mother love goes, and pray you heed my
last words. Be pure In all things; despiss
evil companionships and evil conversation
and evil books. Keep your heart like spot
less flower, however you keep your outward
garb. Carry back your soul TO God unds-
fled a. the June evening carries upon its
bosom the mornings rosa
"Bs true always You may bs poor and
have 70 win your bread, but keep your liFs
from speaking untruths and your heart from
broodiug deceit. Honest speeeh may not
win you many friends, but such AZ Il does
win for you viii be worth the keeping. Re
member, in friendship as In precious stones,
it Is not the quantity but the quality which
tells. f.- ....
NKeep your heart kind. De tender N
everything that God let's live. The child that
~iD needIcssiy torture o fly will make cruel
e,sr or woman. You may not have gold TO
give, but God has given you purse TO draw
from, the aims Of which, dispensed among
tho children OF earth, turn sorrow into sun
sSino and tears into smiles. Thoughtful,
words and deeds of helpfulness are better
than dollars In our pockets to make the world
run smooth.
"Be loyal to principles, friends and God
Tho man who forgets friend In time Of need
viii make no-account sort Of angel IL ever
he manages TO slip into heaven. He isn't
worth his keep either here or yonder. And
finally, little children" you would say, re
member and let love hold its beautiful sway
in your hearts and homes forever. Never
be ashamed TO show the demonstrations Of
love, for love Is God and where IL dwslls 10
tie temple Of God, whether IL bc rooted IL
by thatch or canopied with royal splendor
No home can be utterly unhappy where love
Is; no heart can go far astray held by loves
bands; no soul can perish upborne by the
wings Of pure and steadfast love" So say
ing, you would bid the wondering little ones
good-by and walk with covered face into
tho Shadow OF Deaths soft and dusky wing.
