We step from one grave hillock to an
other grave hillock. We follow corpses,
ourselves soon to be like them. The
world is in mourning for it's dead.
Every heart has become the sepulcher of
some buried JOY. But sing ye to God !

A New Astrology.
The old astrologers used to cheat the
people with the idea that they could
tell from the position of the stars what
would occur in the future, and if
cluster of stars stood In one relation,
why, that would be prophecy of evil
If cluster of stars stood in another re-
lation, that would be prophecy of
good. What superstition But here is a
new astrology in which I put all my
faith By looking up to the star of ia
cob, the morning star of the Redeemer
I can make this prophecy in regard to
those who put their trust in God, "All
things work together for good to those
who love God" Do you love him?
Have you seen the nyctanthes? 1t is
beautiful flower, but it gives very lit
tie fragrance until after sunset. Then
it pours its richness Oh the air. And
this grace of the gospel that commend
to you now, while it may be very sweet
during the day of prosperity, it pours
forth Its richest aroma after sundown.
And it will be shutdown with you and me
after awhile. When you come to 60 out
of the world, will it be desert march
or will it be drinking at fountain?
A converted Hindoo was dying, and
his heather comrades came around him
and tried to comfort him by reading
some of the pages of their theology, but
he waved his hand, as much as to say,
81 don't want to hear it," Then they
called In heather priest and be said,
"If you will only recite the numtra,
1T no1 Nv Wa asl " ns you an
w ..sDsaS@lJ.1..-:baraerersay, az cam do
that" Then they thought perhaps ne
was too weary to speak, and they said,
"Now, if you can't say 'Juggernaut'
think of him.. He shook his head
again, as much as to soy, mo, no, no. "
Then they bent down to his pillow,
and they said, "In what will you trust?"
His face lighted up with the very glo-
ries of the celestial sphere, as he cried
out, rallying ell his dying energies,
"Jesusp' oh, come this hour to the
fountain Twill tell you the whole story
in two or three sentences. Pardon for
all sin. Comfort for all trouble Light
for all darkness And every wilderness
has q we'll in it.
