Again, it is in the twilight of the
morning that some of the most beau
tiful celestial appearances arc seen.
It was a recent morning phenomenon
observed that moved the writer to
try to pen these thoughts. The sky
was thickly llecked with cloud frmi
horizon to zenith, an ! as the rats of
the rising sun fell upon the ethereal
dome spotted thick with cloud, it
was painted iu blended colors, gold
and crimson, blue and purple, etc..
making a scene beautiful to Ix'hoid
and lit to engage the attention, ad
miration and adoration of all intelli
gent creatures.
And as we contemplate this scene
painted bv the divine artist with
Bkill and power superhuman, we
think of the clouds Uung black
vapor, having inherently the ele
ment of tire and air and water,
which, in aggregated fury at tuus
move violently, and spread death
and devastation in their track. And
yet these element under the sun's
rays are beautifully painted and pre
sent a scene glorious mid subline.
Now we turn from this scene of
the natural sky to the moral sky of
our race. And as we see it all spot
ted w ith the dark clouds of our de
praved natures - ignorance, preju-
uice, natreii, iuse appetites and vile
passions causing son uw and death
to so many of the human family,
may we not cherish the hope at the
time of this Christinas tide, that
there is a "Son of lugli'eousness" to
arise and slune, driving away the
misty black of our depravity, and
painting our moral skies in heavenly
colors, and enabling every individ
ual life, and every home, and every
nation, and every enterprise of men
to write, "Holiness to the l,ord,"atid
redeemed humanity to "sing with
the spirit ami the understanding"
the chorus of the angels, "(il.uy to
God in the highest and on earth
peace, good will toward men."

I have come to lielieve that happi

for the bubbling soul of laughtei
does not sit upon the throne of tin
kings, and from the mirthless heart
of a tyrant the milk of human kind
ness never llows. Where there is he
laughter there is no genuine love
Where there is no love life is a des
ert of evil. Laughter and love and
happiness are the companions ol
pleasure, the patrons and allies of
civilization, the handmaids of re
ligion, the evangels of (tod. They
are the guardian angels of every
christian home, the gliding star if
every nation's destiny. They fondle
the child in its cradle, they linger
with frolicsome youth, they ministei
to struggling manhood, and soothi
the pillow of age.
I would rather lie the humblest
among those who have given hope to
the hopeless, and happiness to the

in history as a conqueror, with my

I would rather have my name writ
