Tha text is Isaiah lxiv., 6, “Wa all do fads as a leaf." Il there any time in all the year more delightful, for a vacation in the country than the "Indian summer?" Of course to the lover of nature the valleys and the mountains have their fascination! at all seasons; Winter- eold, bleak, growling, freezing winter -has her months of glory. Then the trees, with their long, outstretched branches, are like the vcstal virgins of old, robed in spotless white. Then the stars, through the keen, biting January nights, gleam brighter than any other time of the year. Then tha country roads are echoing With the merrymakings of the sleigh-bells, and the lights from the furinliouscs are the beacons to signal friends to enter the home where "Welcome" is writ.- teu over every dooi'. Springtime in the- country also has her months of glory. That- is the time we hear the woolnga of bird mating with bird. That. is the time when the winds are tossing the white blossoms every whither. That is the time of the seed plantings. and ofthe plowings, the time when -tho brooks are ripplcd with the trouts' fins, while summer has hci' glory of the haymakers and the hurvestings and the vineyards and the orchards in which wa all have revoled year by year when oi! for the August. vaca- tions. But, though winter, spring and summer may come to us. each with special forms of enjoyment. the most rupturous time of all the year in which to spend a few weeks in the country is during the autumn, for then the glory of 0ctober's ‘pride is the fading leaf. Novui' in artist.'s studio were so inany gorgeous colors mixed together as God pictures on his canvases of the autumn foliage. Here thc trees look like a mighty "river of blood," as though their ar~ tcries had been opened by thc Mosaic rod which incarnudincd the river of E t The leatcs have bluslitd u. wedding feast at Cana when, nt our Lord's.word, it. was borne us new inade wine to thc governor' nt the toast. _ Uh, the ‘beauty of the autumrial foliage! The fading leaves of t.lio_Iri- dinu summer flisciiiatu thu eye and woo plauditory exclnrnutions from all lips. As we go forth to-day to catalogue ‘some of thorn we find that there nre big leaves und small luzwes, long leaves and narrow lerivt-s, rough leaves and smooth loaves, thick leaves and thin lcnvos. 'ifhcre are leaves that are yellow, and red, and brown, and crimson, and green, and saffron. '1"hr.‘re are loaves like those which the tired travelers twist. into cups and dip into the cool wa- ters and lift to their purchcd lips. There are lcavcs like the fresh enlar- ald ones which thc picnickers use for platters when thc merryniakcrs are bnnqueting in tho woods and loaves like those the field laborers wet when they place tlism in their straw hats to cool their aching brows. Them are loaves which the little children gath- er and press straight between tha school-book pages. There are loaves which tho maidens collect to fill the jars and vases and tu decorate the hails, purlors and bcdrooiiis of the home. There are leaves wliich_ the florist cuts to give an riddetl beauty to tha flowers he is clustering to- gether for assemblages of joy and also for asseniblagns of sorrow. There are leaves which have hidden the nests of the birds while they were roaring their young. Leaves up- on the_t.ree branches, leaves in the flower gardens, leaves which have been tdssed by thu winds into the dusty road, leaves overhead, loaves under foot. There are a hundred and forty und four thousand varieties of them and thousands upon thousands. Lo, this nutunin day, there is u. host of falling leaves which no inan can number. They have lived their short lives, they have fiidcd beautifully und at last. have fallen off and fluttcrt-d silently to the ground. The unciurit Plebrcw prophet, watching thvin ns they fell, secs in them a symbol of the failing of human livca. As the leaves fall and die, so man falls and dies. "We all do fade as thc it-uf" is the overwhelming and iiicoiitrowrt- iblo statement of my toxt. Like the fading lcrif, iiiu|i`s crudla and grave are not vt-ry fur spurt. Like the life of a leaf, our earthly existence springs into budding life, has its short season of glorious ma- turity, and then fades and falls with a rapidity that startlcs us. Thoiigh we niay live oui' three-score yoiim, and ten, or even four-score years, how soon thoso years slip sway. As the months ,, of tho spring quickly change themselves into the months of tho summer, and thc mouths of the before your syos. God p\its_upoii one sidn of the leaf tho snow-hniik ami upon the other sidn oft, the leaf tim iceberg of another wi|\i.<‘|‘.

Sq God "FB to man: "Your earthly life mtg bo vary short. You are to spend your earthly days as the life of a. leaf. Therefore, what you ug 1,0 do for me and for the world you must do. quickly. Hear ye not in the sigh- ing of the nutumnal winds the forth- coming summons that you must soon fade away as the leaf, as the dying outumnal leaf?" The fading autumnal leaf, the sym- bol of the passing away of the hu- man generational Can you not sec it? Crm you not feel it? .To me it is the most. startling symbol of aiirth, for. as I go out in the autumn and look off upon the hillsidesuind see the vine~ yards with their dying loaves, thc mont overwhelming fact. that forces itself upon me is the rapidity with which generations go. Aye, the mem- bers of the generation which preceded us as well as niuny members of our own generation seem to have disap- peared as the mists at the sunris- ing, as the dcwdrops are kissed off the lips of the leaves, as the tears on the chcok of u. little child are wiped away by a sympathetic mo- ther. But. though the span of life may be very short as a whole, yet, after all, when death comes to most of ua it will some as to the leaf, gradually. Death, as a rule, does not spring out upon his victims suddenly. Like a loved friend traveling abroad, he sends message after message that he is coming. Ho sends notice after no- tice. He sends word to you just the sumo as the soldiers fighting in the United States army during the Civil war sent messages to their children at. homo. At. night the'rxi d to read those letters to h iGH~ Then she would say: "Papa C0111- lxig. Yes, some day papa is going to como." Then when the surrender at Appomnttox came the niotlicr sung a new song. "Now, children,” said slic, "papa will soon-be here." 'l`hul\ came the preparation for meeting the train. Then came the expected flllf' ent. Death cornea to most not as u thief in the night. As a rule, death comes to us as he comes to is leuf. gradually, very gradually. _ Did I say death is coming to you gradually?

Xml ltmiw you sro not as strong as you lised to be. What is the rnatter? We are ull fading away as the leuf, as the autiunnal leaf. But this autumn day, as the leiivas are everywhere falling from the trees, I know God has A purpose in their death as well as in their life. One reason why God every fall strips tim trees of their lesvép is that' the next year tha forests may be robed with another covering of green. And one reason why God makes one genera- tion of human beings pass away from earth is that another generation might- bl horn and li .Q rind huvc the opportunity to do tha work which is necessary for them to do and their Pass on to the eternal life beyond the grave, as past generations have done and as wo must do. Did YOU ever stop to consider from an earthly standpoint tho blessings of death as well as the blessings of life? Every your in order to make tho fruit. trees and vineyards bear Well the farinei' with his pruning hook has to go among them and ruthlessly destroy hundreds of buds in order that thu other buds might have enough nourishnierit to grow 0-nd do their work. In order that tho human rucc might be strong and physically \\'ell God has to keep his pruning hook busy or else this old earth would soon be over-populated, fluid there would not bo room for nian to live by the side of mari, "So great are the possibilities of growth," said tho old'sagc, ,llc-iijuniin Fr-.\u.k- lin, "that the prmiuctivcmss of the vegetable and animal life is incon- ceivable and almost without limit." 'Pho span of hurriuu life on eiirtli is very short, yet like that of the leaf God does not pcruift. niun's life, short. as it is, to cnd until his work has been frilly accomplished. The Bible tells us that n\uii'.~i curtlily "days are as grass. as the flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind puss- eth Over it and it is gonc and the place thereof shall know it no more." But. though the life of the grass or the leaf may be short as that of an insect., yet its life is absolute-.ly vital to this country. Once destroy tho vegetation of a land and you turn that land into a. Snhura. Leaves suck in the moisture. 'l`lwy are re- servoirs for water.` 'i`iir»y decide whether n country is to be fertile or not. Once destroy the forest willi its leaves and the orchards with their leaves and you change the whole at- iiiosphoric condition of tho country as parts of Spain :intl Portugal have been roblbed of all moisture by the destruction of the leaves. Thus each gencratiorfs spiritual life is nbsoliitcly necessary to be nurtured and develop- ed for the spiritual life of the gener- ation which is to follow, Your spiri- tual life decides what is to be the spiritual life of your children and your childrcn's cliildrt-n. Would that our spiritual lifc rriiglit not only be a saving gospel for our- selves, but also for those who nn- to come after us. _’l`li<»rc is a. be-uuliful story told of Ulysses, the most firin- ous of ull Iioiiieritz iicror-S, who won his greatest victéry when lit' rivier- came the ficndish power of the sor- cercss by the influence of it fc-w luuv- en.
