against God, who cry aloud: my

Divine Providence, think OF the words of
Haunah: Talk no more so exceediD Z
proudly; let not arrogaBcy come oar of
your mouth; for the soul IS q God of
knowledge. and by him actions are
weighed. The bows of the mighty men
are broken. and they that stumbled are
glrded with strength: they that were full
have hired out themselves for bread, and
they that were hungry ceased; so that the
barren hath borne seven, aud she that hath
many children is waxed feeble. The Lord
klieth, and maketh alive; He brlngeth
down TO the grave, and 6ringeth up. The
Lord maketh poor and nlgketh rich; lie
bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseih
up the poor out OF the dust, and lifteth up

them inherit The throne OF glory; for the
pillars OF the earth are the Lords, and He
hath set the world upon them. He will
keep the feet OF His saints. and the wicked
shall be silent in darkness; for by strength
shall no man prevail.
Think of the fickieness OF Fortune! Now
she sits at your side, spreading her pro-
tectlng wings over you; but how soon may
she leave you never TO return again On a
sudden she shakes her wings, aud, in
trice, she has flown abroad. Yes: the
Lord killeth, and maketh alive; maketh
poor, and maketh rich. Therefore &C
knowledge His goodness aud kindness,
and pay homage TO Him for all the
prosperity and happiness you receive from
His benevolent hand. Acknowledge that
to Him you owe all your possessions. aud
that He may take them away from you
whenever He pieas-s. Think of the
changeability OF ali earthly possessions,
and render thanks to Father Almighty for
all the blessings He bestowed upon you.
III being thankful toward the Lord you
must change your conduct toward him;
change levity 10 gravity, haughtiness TO
pride to modesty, disobedience
to obedience. In being thankful toward
God you must also change your conduct
toward men. Have you been uncharita-
bic. be chRritable; have you made enemies,
change them into friends. BY doing SO
right and moral life and add 10 the pros
perity thereof. Therefore, ye children of
fortune, change. Delay not. Change with
the new year!
So let US all change with the new year.
As children think of the duties
you have to fulfill toward your
parents. Honor tatner and mother
aud next your teachers and you will
thus honor God, Attend school regularly,
aud especially Sabbath school and you
will raise not only your stock of know
ledge, bat also your moral standard, aud

all, no matter whether poor or rich. For
YOU will both soon have to shift for your
selves, and on hfe's journey poverty does
