Time Flies.

Time Flies.
Time flies, oh, how swiftly. Here
we are in July, the half way sta.
tion IN 1899,I while we have hardly
thawed out from the effects of the
frigid blasts of last winter, and
soon the frosts will be upon us in
all it's fury again. The years
come and go with the swiftness of
the morning light, and soon our
earthly race will be run, and the
place that now know us will know
no more forever. AS age creeps
upon us we notice the fight of Che
passing years, and look back to
the days of our youth with sorrow
and regret, on the days we have
permitted to pass with SO little
profit to self or the world.
The true object of life is so lit
tie understood. II we could only
lift the veil and see into the flu.
ture as we know the past-if we
could only realize the fact that
the whole object of life is to be
happy and make others happy,
we would try to extract as much
pleasure out of the feetinp mo-
ments as possible. It is not wis
dom to borrow trouble. The de-
sign of the Creator was to make
His children happy-endowed them
with mind, and desires for their
good, with physical and mental
ability to enjoy, and gave them a
home in this beautiful world. and
probationary existance to prepare
for higher life. Why, then, are
80 few really happy?
Soon it will he said of US all:
"They are dead!' The flowers
will bloom upon the little mounds
that hides the poor, tired bodies
of mortality, but the spirjs, where
are they?
When we consider the beauty
and grandurn of our earthly home
and believe that it is just what we
have made it, is it unreasonable to
believe that our home over yon-
der will be just what we made it
here; if we have beautified our
homes here with flowers of love,
they will bloom over their and be
a crown Of glory in the presence
OF God. The objects we love here
will bloom over there, and if our
likes here are low and sorded, 80
will be our associations after we
Cross the dark river. We are but
builders of our own architectural
beauty or deformity-our taste
are governed largely by custom;
we judge the character of people
by their surroundings, and if they
are beautiful in nature and refined
by cultivation, We can but love the
hand that fashioned the home
and made the world brighter.
Life at best is but dream, and
if we can but have pleasant and
beautiful dreams life will glide
sweetly away and in that far off
land we will realise the fact that
God is Love.
Yes, time flies, oh, how swiftly.

Iced water is preferable to ice

by the ice without being brought

ice water one drinks the better.
Ice water increases ones thirst
that is, there is greater tenden-
cy to desire drink inasmuch as ice
