which can alone cause our sun to travel in a sphere of genial warmth and heathful influence , by chasing away the clouds of restricted efficiency . We shall not be—we have not been—wanting to the Brethren ; let them not be wanting to us . We have gone beyond
our legitimate self-sacrifice to promote their interests , and we thankfully record the testimonials so largely given to our labours by the press and the public .

new-born child . Friends may have disappeared , but enmities have been buried also ; 365 days' worth of care and disappointment and painful pity for the neglected or bereaved have been mowed down by the silent scythe of the early and late Gatherer , who wipes away our tears , like the dew-drops , with his feet ! Well for us if we could imitate the veriest fly , who springs at

In a few more revolving periods , the game will be

The puppets who represented the several parts will shift their pageantry at the fall of the curtain , and it will signify little whether we were loved or hated , patronized or slighted , by the audience

But two things certainly affect us , the one the unspeakable glory of a state of painless freedom from corporeal infirmity or social injustice , and the other the necessity of abounding increasingly in that love to God which He can alone engender upon earth , Whose spirit of love , shining through His Son , irradiates and constitutes Heaven !
