sentiment From its peaceful bosom
spring none but fond secrets and tender
recollections. We can look upon the
grave even of an enemy and not feel a
compunciious throb that should ever
have warred with the poor handful of
earth that lies Wondering before him"
Advance" When We wander through
the cemetery our spirit Will undergo
solemn change because NE are in the
city Of the dead"
I'VE will pause and read the name on q
gravestone. Our hearts are sad when we
remember the one who is sleeping be-
meath 1t. Deeds performed while in &C
tive life are remembered, and. though il
should be the grave of an enemy, we will
perhaps there, over the little mound, his
lest resting place, numerate many good
traits which had remained unnoticed
until the call came to him. Let
us remember while in this
silent city, though We have
the power to leave it when we see fit, the
time will come when we. as those now
resting there, will be taken there by
friendly hands to remain until the great
and final call.
"Where honor rules there rules with
him the queen and partner of his dominion,
his fair brde-purity. Love is the very
tie that binds together the family.
IL Is charity that casts the mantle
OF silence over our neighbours faults,
that flies to the defense OF the absent
when asssiled; that is eager to learn and
tell the good about another, and that har-
bOrs no malice or thought of evil -. II.
Walters.
Kind friends, the above was taken from
that grand address by Brother j. II.
Walters, pastor of the methodist episco-
pal church, to those assembled at the re-
union. In this address how thoroughly
was our motto analysed l would not at
tempt to comment on that grand address,
for ii is complete within itself Would be
| pleased 10 see a contribution from Brother
| Walters each month.
We NAV, if we will, gain that land of
endless bliss beyond the skies Oh, if we
| could but realize the shortness of life !
! Lie IS, as IL were, q dream. Its time is
| short: and oh, dear friends while we
! have life and opportunity let us live life
| that will be pleasing In the sight of God.
| Let us make our peace with Him for so on
| yes, very soOn-we shall be called to APP
pear before the great judge to give an &C
count Of the deeds done in this life
| Comet.
The foregoing was suggested to the
mln0 OF Comet Oy the death OF
| Howard brother. Blessing such an Occa-
sion as he did, how vividly did he show
| forth our duty to God. Death. The ter
/ mination OF life forever snatches our priv
! ilege to attend to our duty we owe to our
! God. The time viii! come. dear associates,
when the privilege Offultilling our duty will
be withdrawn from US. Then. oh then !
what vii, bs our portion2 When 1t Is
said that time shall be no more with US,
and when the curtains of death gently
/ close their perhaps untimely folds around
Us can we say, welcome death, all Is well2
or will we tremble with the thought of be-
/ ing brought before the august judge to
there answer for the way we had con-
Quoted ourselves while on probation here?
Kind friends, in the reproduction OF
these selections the utmost care will be
taken that no mistakes occur, but if there
should l beg OF your indulgence. Ny
next monthly collection will follow up q
different line of thought Ny selections
will not be so ong as in this. and without
comments as l occupy too much valuable
space with my comments.
Wishing all success and happiness, an
| your III. l.. G.. brother, COMET"
