Thou hast heaped so high the measure
OF life in the passing year,
That. Master and Lord, we bless Thee,
And bring Thee thankful praise:
Our reverent lips address Thee
At this parting Of the ways.
Many a time, and often.
Thou has pardoned our foolish pride.
Hast tarried our griefs to soften,
Hast our selfish prayers denied
The kinsman and the stranger
Alike have known Thy grace,
And the sword OF the unseen danger
Has ned before Thy face
Many q time Thy vision.
Clear in the light OF love.
Hath aided oar slow decision,
And pointed our eyes above.
Thy hand hath poured the chalice.
And broken the daily bread.
Till the hut has been as the palace.
And as princes we have fed.
From the gins and traps of error
Thou hast turned our feet away
Hast saved our hearts from the terror
OF the unbegotten day.
Our lot in Thy land has ever
In fairest ground been cast;
Thou hast left US lonely never.
Though our dear ones hence have passed
For into Thine own sweet heaven.
Home OF their souls and ours.
They have entered, sin-forgiven.
To praise with fuller powers;
And therefore now we praise Thee.
with ali who have gone before.
The endless hymn we raise Thee.
And bless Thee. and adore.
And stiE Thou art always with US.
Even unto the end:
! Thyself. our strength, art with u.s.
Ever our guide and friend.
How can the life be dreary

THANKSGIVING.
Ia Distinctively Home Festival
Though II Has n Religious and
Political Significance,

From the time of its institution until
aow it has been a home festival, and
one OF it's best services to the citizens
of our country has been to bring long
separated families together and the
children home. We do not overlook its
religious or political significance,
though fits home aspect is the one that
is most inviting. The good old habit
of assembling in the places of worship,
to render thanks for national and in
dividual prosperity, is none too rigid
ly maintained. We, as people, are too
much like the pious old man who, in
season of prosperity, said he hadn't
much time to be thankful, but when
he had good luck he was glad" We
are generally glad of good luck" but
the one day taken out of the precious
days in which we are toiling for more
good luck" seems to many almost
waste of time. Somebody has wittily
said that gratitude is a lively sense
of favors to come" and it is true that
the desire for the continuance of bless
ings enters largely into our so-called
thanks.
1t may be so this year, with the ad-
dition of hope, that amounts almost to
assurance; for never was there time
when abundant blessing in the past
gave such promise for the future. The
whole catalogue of benefits is ours.

reason the psalmist wrote: Praise the
Lord, and forget not all His bene-

Every life is a profession Of faith
and exercises an inevitable and silent
propaganda. AS far as lies in its power
it tends to transform the universe and
humanity into its own image. Thus
we have all cure Of souls. Every man
is center of perpetual radiation, like
a luminous body; he is, as it were, a
beacon which entices a ship upon the
rocks If II does not guide it into port
Every man is priest, even involuntar-
lily; his conduct is an unspoken sermon,
which is forever preaching to others;
but there are priests of Baal, of Moloch,
and of all the falso gods. Such is the
high Importance OF example. Thence
comes the terrible responsibility which
weighs upon Us ali.-Amiel.
