He is the central sun Of all the
skies, around which revolves all
worlds that man can know or dream
of. In him is victory over sin; he
is life, aud his life is the light OF

A Lesson From The SCuIptots,

Russell II tonwrlI relates this
personal experience:
When | was IN Paris, many
years ago, over III the Latin quar-
ter were gathered II great many OF
the sculptOrs. and there was one
plucr where they mixed the clay
for nearly all the srulpturs in the
nrighborhOOd. An artist intending
t0 make Il statue would 80 uN Il
in the morning to this wholesale
dealer in ebay, and find ii already
mixed for his use. lie would take
it to his studio and usr it. All
the same clay, mixed in the same
place, aud mixed 10y the same man;
but one artist made his clay into II
statue of Venus, another artist
made il into statue of Hercules.
aud another into Il statue of the
emperor OF France. Each one took
the clay from the same bed, and
nodded it into an entirely different
thing II was not possible for any
two Of these artists to do precisely
the same thing with that same
clay.
So God furnishes lis with the
rlay of lite. We can usr it ms We
will. within certain grand llmita.
tinns. But W. make our lives
what wr choose to make them, il
we will take the clay which God
furnishes Us, and III accordance
with HIS laws work out n helpful
aud reasonable ambition.
