such person were the only man. woman or

troubles Of life are imaginary, and the most
Of those anticipated v come. At any
rate, there Is no cause Of complaint against
God. See how much He hath done to make
thee happy; His sunshine filing the earth
with glory, making rainbow for the storm
and halo for the mountain, greenness for the
moss saffron for the cloud and crystal for
the billow, and procession Of hammered fams
through tho opening gates Of the morning,

chant, n springs to blossom, and over
powering all other sounds with It's song, and
overarchfng all other splendor with its tri-
umph, covering up all other beauty with ita
garlands and publishing all other thrones
with its Observation-Disclosures for . lost
world through the Great Redeemer.
