The Christian Mans Life.

A Christian man life IS laid in the
loom of time TO pattern which he does
not see. but God does. and his heart is
a shuttle. On one side of the loom is
sorrow, and on the other is joy and the
shuttle struck alternately by each, flies
back and forth. carrying the thread,
which Is white or black, as the pattern
needs And in the end, when God shall
lift up the finished garment and all its
cha.ging hues shall glance out, it will
then appear that the deep and dark col

bright and high colors. Henry Ward
