Some tine lias compared the life of man to a 1 >ir?I that Hies from the darkness outside into a lighted room; there it tlits uhout for a little while and passes ont again into darkness. Man, like the hird comes from out. ? he knows not where, lives and moves in light for a few short years, then enters again into the darkness of an unknown somewhere. Strange figure this! We know not whence we come nor whither we go! Strange! and the figure must he w rong. I lather, should we not say that life on earth is the dark period and existence 1?< fore and after illumined hy the light of eternity. We come from where? There can he no douht as to the answer of this; "We come from (h?d, who is our home. "Wordsworth speaks truly when In; says: "The soul that rises with us, our our life's star, 1 lath had elsewhere its setting and cotneth from afar; Not in entire forgetfhlness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we coino From Clod, who is our home." Can wo doubt the origin of the i soul within us; that part which is not of the earth, that lives always, that is a part of the great center of all the universe, Clod himself? Then it is not darkness from out which we come, but light?eternal light. And the years of our earthly existence; what of them? It must be darkness then; we are unable to see well. "Now, we see through a glass but darkly," says a wise man of other days. IIow pitiable the lot of a poor human being, groping al>out in a dimly lighted world, stumbling over the obstacles in his path, falling, and oh, such hard falls! Just a- the bird strikes everything in its (light through a dimlylighted room, beating out its little life against the deceiving window. Man s es a little light, makes to it, is checked, batlled and fall< back. The deceptive lights of the world's wealth, glory and fame lure him on ; nothing meets him but disappointment and failure. The world shuts out the light of an infinite knowledge and chains us down. Shakcspere means this when he spcaksiof the "muddy vestures of clay; M^lie means that life is dim and even dark because tilings material blind the vision of tHe spiritual eye. Men err in this life; there is never an error in the existence l>efore and after the earthly race has been run. Lord Byron looked to Clod as his home, for hear this prayer; "To Thee I breathe my humble strain, Grateful for all the mercies past, And hope, my God to thee again, This erring life may lly at last." Byron with all his sin and unsoundness of philosophy, knew whence he came and whither he wished to go; and he looked on life as a time when errors were so easily made, when man was so prone to fall. And Tennyson declared man but "An infant crying in the night; An infant crying for the light, And with no language but a cry." How true! Light is what we want, but that we shall never have until we stand in the eternal radiance which emanates from the throne of (i od. And what is it when we go from out the darkness of this life into the light of another? Some call it death, and others a valley of shadows, a vale of tears and the like. It is looked upon as a dire fate and a terrible calamity with all kinds of horrible pain and torture. 1 Jut the exit from this life, it seems, cannot be all of that. It is only the passing from one room to another; it is going upstairs. In the universe of God there are many departments, heaven i< only another department of this great mansion of the Lather. We go from the dark, diseasestricken Basement into the larger and more beautiful rooms above. Why should we look on the passage with such horror? We hear so much about the agony of death, we have been taught to dread it. A ghostly reaper, he appears to us, with a cold and sharp scythe. In some cases, we know, pain and agony do accompany death, but not often. When one has come to thel end of a well-spent life and is ready | to lay it down, it is not only not a j horrible time hut i , .'liv 4> 4 4 II It IllVIIIIUlU'j of joy and pleasure. For why do I we hear such sweet words from dying lips, and see such celestial light in eyes ahout to close? The beauty i of a death bed scene surpasses in j sublimity any other experience on 1 earth. We see the smile of joy, and marvel at it; for a moment, we think that heaven - haajtesde'nd-; ed upon us. Some think of deatV,llimply a.j> sleep; and why? They life tired;' they want rest. Byron, the poet. .1 i ?_ ?- , . * * 1 statesman and warrior, when he came to the end of his turbulent life, says only this; | "I must go to seleep now." And Shakespere speaks of a sound sleep after a feverish life. Sleep means rest and quiet after toil and trouble. Tennyson held a beautiful idea of death. It was only bis response to Clod's call of "All Aboard." With joy he goes aboard and beinns the sweet and safe voyage over eternal seas, lie goes back,whence he came and sees no cause of fear, for bis Pilot is on board. Death is only a door through which, after a few years of wandering we may enter again our home. ANOTHER STAiTaD^P j IU mil NAIIUIN 5 ILAO. < < President Roosevelt Used Two Pens { in Siijnini) the Measure Admitting ( Oklahoma and Indian Territories ( as State of Oklahoma. j , ( Washington, J urn; H>.?Another | star was added to the I'jiion today, , when President Roosevelt signed the l>ill admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one State. The measure also provides that Arizona ^ and Now Mexico may bo admitted to statehood as the State of Arizona, provided the people of the territories vote in favor of admission on the; t r.ns submitted to them by congress. The signing of the meisurew;s made the occasion of an in interesting ceremony. Senator Beveridge and Representative Hamilton, respectively, the chairmen of the senate and house committees on territories, who have worked hard and long to bring about the enactment of the measure, were present; as also were Delegate Meduire, of Oklahoma, and a delegation of residents of Oklahoma, Delegate Andrews of New Mexico, Secretary Loeb and several others. The president used two pens in signing the measure, writing his lirst name "Theodore" with a solid wild tli'll In* flu. nnnTiln r\f ! o "J Vl" V,A ^ Arizona and his family name "Koosevelt" with an eagle quill taken from an American eagle in Oklahoma.?The State. MON-AETNA HAPPENINGS. I ' Children's Day? Baseball?Personals The Baptist Sunday school held its Children's Day exercises last Sunday night, which was quite an enjoyable affair. The house was i filled to its utmost. It is said to have been the largest assembly ever known at Mon-Aetna. The success! ' of the occasion is due to the untiring efforts of Miss Mahala Smith, the efficient teacher of the Monarch graded school. Each child perform-, ed well its part. We all feel very grateful to her for the great kindness she has shown us in helping to train the children for the occasion. Our baseball team is expecting the Lock hart team to visit them on next Saturday afternoon, when we; hope to show them what our l>oys can do in the way of returning the kind treatment shown the Monarch boys while at Lock hurt. 1 Mr. Kimsey Kzell, of .Jonesvillc, ( has been in our little towns for the past few days selling stereoscopic * views. I i Rev. J. K. Hair was among us I J one day last week, looking after the j interests of the Baptist Courier. ; Robin, j What is the Moral? A mouse was rummaging about B in a man's room one line night in 6 search of a supper. Now it chanced : ^ that upon a washstand shelf there i ^ was a vessel filled with seed corn , that the man purposed planting. "Aha'.'' said the mouse, "here is; just what 1 have been looking for, and a very nice supper it is, to he sure!" Nimbly leaping upon the shelf, the poor mouse attempted to j 1 climb into the di<h of corn. Splash! I he fell backwards into a basin of j ^ water. Round and round he swam B at a great pace, but every attempt to climb the slippery sides of the ^ bowl resulted in failure. After g many, many fruitless efforts to es- i g cap*, the poor mouse surrendered j I to the inevitible and went his way ? to ji watery grave. ? When We Get Home. B V ROIIKKT T. WHISKNA XT.
