THE UNITED OPINION, FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 49, 1897

} the husking day one man drove nome
roam span SO frisky, SO full of life, the,
got their feet over heitraces The 9th
er man walked home Great differenc,
in education, great difference in world
ly means, but l noticed at the husking
time they all seemed to enjoy each 9th
er's society. They did not ask any MAJ
how much property he owned or wha
his education had been. They all seem
ed to be happy together in those gooc
times.
A Picture of Heaven.
And so it will be in heaven Our Fa
ther will gather his children around
him, and the .eighbors will come in
and the past will be rehearsed. And
some one will tell of victory, and we
Will all celebrate it. And some one will
tell of great struggle, and we will all
praise the grace that fetched him out OF
1t. And some one will say: Here is
my old father, that I put away with
heartbreak just look at him. He is as
young as any of us. J." And some will
say; " Here is my darling child, that l
buried in Greenwood and all the after
years OF my life were Swallowed with
desolation. Just look at her She doesn t
seem as II she had been sick a min
ute. " Great sociality. Great neighbor-
hood kindness
What though John Milton sit down
on one side and John Howard sit down
on the other side. No embarrassment.
What though Charlotte Elizabeth sit
down on one side and Hannah More sit
down on the other side? No embarrass-
ment. A monarch yourself, why be en-
barrassed among monarchs? A songster
yourself why be embarrassed amid glo-
rltied songsters? Go in and dine.
All the shocks of corn coming in in
their season. Oh, yes, in their season.
Not one of you having died too soon, or
having died too late, or having died at
haphazard, Planted at just the right
time. Plowed at just the right time.
Gut down at just the right time. Husk-
ed at just the right time Garnered at
just the right time. Coming in in your
season.
Oh, wish that the billions of bush.
