From jt.life the great heart of ^lour turns away hunger- ^-having found nothing group is like the sun whch “scat ters the rear of darkness thin, chases away the ghosts of di sease and germs of death, and fills the world with warmth and light and life! How ilke the sun is many a life—the day-spring of light and joy to exerything It touches! In a seventh group men are like rocks. The first of these Is like the rocks of Sahara, barren and scorching. The second is the picture of a “great rock In a weary land;’’ on its crags, the birds; on Its crevices, the flow ers; under its shadow the weary traveler! What is your life when aving louna ,„cks? f°" ilf® In “‘Shth group men are ^.nity. The 1 jjocV.s of history.

In the second group I see men ^bat are like birds. The first is the cuckoo that lays her the nests of other birds drees upon them the bur- ^ Sen ^ feeding her offspring. Like this bird p'any shirk the burdens of life, caving the work of the Church and the Kingdom : for more loving hearts, but not '\mere able hands. The second is like the nightingale that sings the night away and makes the darkest hours the most delight ful. In- this picture I see the life that brings music into the dark- pity the man who, as he reviews the volume of his life’s history that has just closed, finds noth ing but leaves; or who finds his volume all blotted and marred by sin—who finds among his thoughts none God-like in aspir ation; among his words none loving, kind end true; among his deeds none of noble endeavor nothing to glorify God or bless humanity! But just here comes a happy thought. Just as the old year’s volume closed with a snap, the new year held out a new volume with leaf pure and Liiai. uiiiiKS Luuoii; luku I white! How happy the man who ened soul and makes it forget this new volume with the darkness, that binds up the i resolutions and a prayer for molrao it frtrCl’Pt _ ... • i .^_.J fn wounded life and makes it forget ’ the pain, that pours balm Into sadCbned' heart and makes it j^forget the sorrow; yea, that slips up straight under, the burdened life and makes it forget the •weight of life’s Joad! What is your life when measured by the birds? In the third group I see men that are like flowers. The first is ■^llke the cultivated chrysanthe- ijm which 1 ^w at the flower okine premfum God’s guidance and strength to crowd the page.s of the new book with a record of personal growth and God-likeness and a brotherly kindness to a needy world! The laet group shows the pic ture of two reapers. It is harvest time. A forgottrm sowing is be ing reaped. In the first picture I see a reaper bound in the shack les of sin; hugging to his bosom the bundle of tares—all that the harvest h«j fy himL Jle hugs it, thouih”^^ ^ thorns, hoping -nldcTi graiiiv Deccmli'T, lUO.’i. lue iirviuiui*!. j thoUSu torn uy lt» tuumo, ‘ blu©#^® and beautiful. 1 stopp-( that it may contain some ®^njoy its fragrance—but I 15,^j.^w to which his soul may cilng. disappointed.

How like ttis current is “^many a life—chilling home, com- * munlty and church because it ^ lacks love, sympathy, and broth erly kindness! The second picture like the GuU stream that warms and tempers the climate miles away. The British isles are # the same latitude as Labrador, wet they are fields of “living xfocn ” while Labrador is bleak Sd barren. How like the Gulf jUtream is many a life—throbbing ^th love find sympathy for a old sln-froten world; and doing w warm it into life. What life when measured by a currents? la a sixth group, men resemble dead sea and the sun. The te nke the Dead Sea, which, books correctly describe it, ir'Ih selfish and death-dealing.
