IIe not only opened a path across the; Red Sea with his rod, but he cut a- kire path into the gratitude !and an:le-lieti of, alll i good men and women bY the sharppoint of his pen. Thus an aneient aiithor, who was a pioneer in the Making of books, compared the , earthy ex- istence of every human life -to le tale that is told." The seconds are the letters. The minutes aeel the words. The hours are the seateeces. e The days are ehe paragraphs., Thelweeks are the pages. The moiaths are the chapters. , The years are I the hooks. May God help me on tine last Sab- bath of the dying ' year So interpret aright how "we spend Our yea* as a tale that is told." I I ! II Every tale, whether I fietitions or no, has a bright or a sect beginning. In almost the first words!! whicji the narrator speaks he introduces his listeners to the hero or ,t; he heroine. Sometimes he rocks the hero's cradle down among the plantations of Loideiana or Georgia, sometimes among the snows of the New i ,Eng- land hills or in a palace :of Europe, where the prince! or princess I, was born. But, though many heroes and heroines of fictitions tales xuay :have bad unhappy childhood influences, I clo not believe it Was thus- with us. The brightest passages , of the "tale of life'' wile* applied to our own most part in thbse first days which t biographies are to be fatted for the we spent in the Old ho tead. - - But, alas, no sooner were w ' born and grown into young manhood and womanhood thee the c -rent of our of •our youthful - hewn Ic` •cle. They - lives led us away fro= !ire. p rities, Ied us into the haunts hi\ sin and in- to the cold, da=p, dale leaver -is of selfishness.
