RetrOSDactiOu.

8Written for The Bamberg Herald.
All rejecting and intelligent minds are
impressed deeply with the rapidity of the
flight of time, this is peculiarly the case
at the end of a year, when we pause ON
the threshold of another twelve months
10 look back and consider how time
measures and defines the little span of
life which we occupy between "the cold
and barren peaks of two eternities."
1902 has joined the irretrievable past,
whatever we have thrown into its cur
rent is sweeping with tremendous force
on to the ocean of everlasting life.
Hundreds have fallen by the wayside
during the past year who, how many of
that multitude fell asleep with garnered
sheaves in their hands? How many
walked into the gardens of their lives"
on leaving this domain and carried
trophies to lay at Jesus feet? Echo sobs.
how many
bent over dying Christian last week
and caught her words as she spoke in
measured tones: "The Lord is my shep-
herd, l shall not want. He maketh me to
: lie down by green pastures; he leadest me
by the still waters" took her clammy
hand and my very soul was moved. 'Oh,
what must be the desperate feeling of a
sinnerl" l said to friend, ito realize
death is at hand and not be able to claim
the Savior as his orher shepherd" pray
for me as die" came the calm request
and we all knelt and followed the pastor
in PRAYER We can boast of bravery, of
courage, of great achievements. Alex
ander conquered every nation, Napoleon
drenched all Europe in blood, but the
greatest of all courage is to see death
lowering near, to feel his icy touch, to re-
alize ones blood is stagnating and ones
eyes growing dim and yet be able to say
with unfaltering faith, "The Lord is my
shepherd,|1 shall not want" Such a
death is indeed the beginning of life
eternal and we can almost fancy, if we
strained our sense of hearing, the music
from sainted choirs could be reverberated
and caught by US from the battlements of
Heaven!
Memory has teased me all day to look
through her curtained doors, and, struggle
as may, l have been victimized. see a
small girl paying frequent visits to the
sacred spots in and around Buford's
Bridge. There dwelt then the Brabhams,
Kirklands, Rices, Dickinsons, Kearses,
and many others dear to my heart. There,
Zoo, lived my venerable grandfather, the
late George w. Moye, whose sacred dust
sleeps in the moss curtained cemetery
near old Mizpah church. see matur-
ing girl romping with other little maid
ems, all of whom are now either moth
ers or "on the other Shore" and l can
almost hear their childish voices as they
sang: Swinging in the grape vine
swing" Intwining themselves promi-
nently around these memories are many
other recollections connected with one
who passed away from the circle a few
days ago. One by one see the number
decrease, and we'll do / realize that we
all must one day wrap the draperies
around us and lie down to pleasant
Dreams" MINNIE OGILvIE LANIER.
