The Garfield post realized d neat sum from
the entertainment and the SO prize was

Ths Sermon

The text, my brethren, is to be found
in the book of the prophet Hezekiah:
Thou art living to bless or curse genera
tons thine eyes shall never see.
The prophet, you will remember, had
been speaking in warning to King No
thought. The king had been what we
shoald call in common parlance s.on an
awful bum, but what, in view of his po-
sition, people called enjoying himself"
But one day the prophet found him when
he was SOLDERING up and. in spite OF ms
regal blood, gave him solemn curtain
lecture. Among other good advice, he
gave him the precept Of the text, .sIhou

Over the River.

Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've crossed to the further side
The CLEAN OF their snowy robe see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide.
There's one with fingletS OF sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of Heavens own blue !;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid Kim from mortal view;
We saw not the angels who meet him there
The gates of the city we could not see.
Over the river, over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting TO welcome me.
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another, the household pet;
Her brown curls wave in the gentle gale,-
Darling Minnie! see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpIed hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark.
We felt it glide from the silver sands
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark;
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransoIned and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river
My childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatnan cold and pale:
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch a CLEAN OF the snowy sail;
And 10! they have passed from our yearning
hearts,
They cross the stream aud are gone TOR aye,
w e may not sunder the veil apart
| That hides from the gates OF day.
We only know that their banks no more
May sail with US DER Lies stormy sea;
Yet somewhere | know, on the unseen shore
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
| shall one day stand by the water cold
And list for the sound OF the boatman's oar.
shall watch for the CLEAN OF Tapping sail
1 shall hear the boat IS it gains the strand;
l shall pass from sight, with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the spirit land
| l shall know the loved who have gone before
And joytully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river the peaceful river,
The angel OF Death shall carry me.

Kindly actions begun from sense of
duty blossom into affection and afford
some of the sweetest pleasures earth can
bestow. Active industry, at first pain
full and arduous, unfolds our powers and
comes to be the source of keenest salts
faction. Purity of thought, word and
deed, sought at first from a knowledge
of its righteousness, comes at last to be
the natural air which the spirit loves to
breathe. Thus duty of every kind, con.
tanning within it the germs of delight and
beauty, will, If cherished, develop the
sweetest flowers and richest fruits and
the good and the beautiful thus clasI
hands and claim kinship forever.

My feet to paths unknown,

Leave not its tenant when its walls decay;
o love divine, o Helper ever present,
Be thou my strength and stay!
Be near me when all else is from me drifting
Earth, sky, homes picture, days OF shade
and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
have but Thee, o Father! Let Thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it If, my good and i'll unreckoned,
And both forgiven through Thy Astounding
grace,
I find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble door among thy many mansions
Some sheltering shade where sin and striv-
ing cease,
And flows forever through heavens green ex-
pansions
The river of Thy peace.
There from the music round about me steal

/ fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find at last beneath Thy trees OF healing,
The life for which long.-IWhittier.
