righted, and the story OF endurance
and resignation shall be told 90 all the
ages The rose and the lily In the

Of God, whether they suffer on earth
Ia palaces or in novels, shall come TO
that glorious rest Oh. Heaven, sweet

our burdens and griefs The place

could number standing before the
throne. He that talked with me had a
golden reed to measure the city, and Il
was $4,000 furlongs"-.that is 1900

clothes he has on his back, aud how
much money he has in his purse, but
vast empire God grant that the light
of that blessed world may shine upon
us in our last moment.
The first time crossed the Atlantic
the toughest time we had was at the
mouth of Liverpool harbor. We ar
rived at nightfall, and were obliged to
lie there till the morning, waiting for
the rising of the tide, before we could
get up to the city. How the vessel
pitched and writhed in the water! so.

Christian is a struggle. lie is almost

realize that you will soon have to go
out of that store, that you will soon
have to resign that partnership, that

Or is it domestic question? Is it |

question in Importance? Do you not |
ealize that by universal and inexorable
