 tinted with dainty hues which are mixed on the palette of the angels under the guiding eye of God; the grass, how fresh and green! the trees, how joyfully they wave their branches in the swaying breezes, and 'sasssz4heir spreading leaves to whis- 's mUss sones of praise! the lakes, how Ip,acid and cool as the boats ride safely nDon their bosom and glide hither and thither! the streams, how they sing over <Ihe rocks and pebbles and lave the tas one sits upon the bank! the gur- /gling springs, how they sparkle as they leap from their cool hidden depths and ssa gain the sunshine and mans needi the < Hts Iii the air, from the great gon flies down to the tiniest speck lich microscope reveals as mar gelously perfect little creature of Gods handiwork! the tiny creature nesting in the grasses and amongst the leaves, building whole cities and manifesting x an activity and industry which is phe- x ~nomenar!u tnespeasts of field and forest, as they roam at will or serve the needs of man!-all Nature in the Land of Up rightness is fuller, more wonderful, more interesting! Wne is there to whom the summer does not come with wooing voice and lure away somewhere into the restful depths of Natures realm? Who is there who is so dead to the perennial freshness and charm of Dame Nature that there comes no longing to gain a closer intimacy with her during the vacation rest? Man universally delights in the restfulness and freshness of Nature, but nowhere is Nature found with so manifold charms and such sanctifying influences as in the Land of Uprightness. The one who steps from the land of the Natural Self into the Land of Uprightness is heard to exclaim with exultant voice: q never knew the sun was so glorious, it's light so full; the songs of the birds so like Heavenly music, and the rustic of the leaves and the hum of nature so like angels wings! the grace and beauty and variety of the flowers of the field so evidently betokening the impress of TIAfhe Divine hand! It's new world! Dear friend, did you know there was such a land as the Land of Uprightness and that in that land old things are passed away and all things become new? Did you know that it was your privilege to walk there, and that until you do you are missing untold joy, and privilege and blessing? It is only in the Land of Uprightness that you can realize your best and highest Then let us go into the Land of Uprightness together

 " TT HE other day I noticed in the oio l hands of a young lady sitting op- ;areposite to me in the train transporta- A Ition folder gotten up in attractive md lorm, describing summer resorts and giving information as to the roads and steamboats leading thereto She was absorbed, and one did not need 10 be told that she was planning her vacation outing The claims of the 8ious places as to attractions and entages were evidently being care
 considered. She wanted to go to
 place where she could have the
 time The location of the place 8hich she felt she would go was
 billy noted on the map, and the
 over which she wolld travel Wpicked out It was matter of
 
 Rtime. She was utterly lost to all about her, so absorbed was she in the thought of going away When we speak of the Land of Uprightness our first query is as to it's location. Where is the Land of Uprightness? We next want to know what attractions and ad- yantages that land has to offer over the land in which we are now dwell- r. and then we want to know how aSat there. As l sat and looked at
 young lady so absorbed in the THR ht of going away and planning
 at outing, l could not help won-
