The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1891-12-23

The quarterly review at this season is
| Of surprising interest The story OF
our Lords dc ath and resurrection is the
sweetest, grandest story of all time, and
| 1t cannot too often be rehearsed. We
would suggest that this review, or the
| brief lesson for the coming year here
with appended, be made time for the
closest spiritual application of the great
truths contained in the inspired nara
| tive. Why not Sunday school prayer
meeting? Why not the pastor and super
intendent standing together and appeal
ing directly to the scholars, young and
old, "What think We of Christi" Why
not beginning of revival interest in
church and Sunday school, all round the
ODE? May Col lead.

Man that is born Of a woman is Of
few days, and full of trouble
cut down; he feeth also as q shadow,
and continueth not
And dost thou open thine eyes upon
such an one, and bringest me into judy
ment with thee?
If man die, shall he live again? all
the days Of my appointed time will L
wait, till my change come.
Thou shalt cal, and / will answer
thee; thou wilt have desire to the
work of thine hands
For now thou numberest my steps;
dost thou not watch over my sin?
NOTES.
"Watch for we know not"
Let Christmas JOY be tempered with
solemn thoughts of the hereafter
Have you seen shadow appear and
suddenly disappear, obliterated? Such
is earth-life; IL "continueth not
Judgment Do we think of it as we
should? Do we talk IF it, teach it? Does
our life or our speech convince others
that we believe in judgment to come?
God hep MS to live it!
"De" we must that Is certain. But
what of the hereaft r; shall we "live
again?" "Lord, to whom shall we go?
Thou hast the words Of eternal life I"
And this is his word, ale that believeth
in me, though lie were dead, yet shall he
live"
The colored people have a plaintive
though homely word, "Jesus is the
onliest man that can help u.s." He is,
but he can help to the uttermost. 1t is
sweet to think of death as a departure to
be with God, which is far better. ale
was not for God took him." What
better epitaph than this, "Thou shalt
call, and will answer" At the last /
shall call in faith across the stream.
and God will answer. That was all Job
knew-and that was enough.
