But for the night dews on the eartl
And oft In loneliness and grief
Our purest pleasures have their
birth.
Our life at best is checkered here;
4 Some hours are dark and others
bright;
But in that world that knows no tear
It's always morning always light" :"
Speaking together as friend and
pastor, our conversation was about
the journey she was about to take.
Her voice, acquainted with the forms
of expression OF several languages
told again her hearts hope OF life
and pardon in Jesus Christ alone.
There are, however, in all languages,
no words to voice all our feelings;
and surely none to voice the light
that came into her eyes, or the old
time, heaven lighted expression that
came over her face,as we repeated tn
immortal words There is therefore
now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not at
ter the flesh, but after the spirit.
Surely goodness and mercy shall fol
low me all the days Of my life: and
will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever
Brighter than the glorious sunsets
Which delight this earthly cline,
Than splendors Of the dawning
Breaking Ger the hills Of time,
Is the richness Of the radiance
OF the lan1 beyond the sun,
Where the noble have their country
When their work on earth Is done.
