The End of Summer.
The days with speeding wings
are flying past. Summer is at an
end.
Autumn comes touched with
beauty and with a promise ful
filled, and autumn will bring to us
the garnered fruits of the field.
Autumn comes with the energies
of men burned out and with the
earth parched and dry —with list
less woods and drooping flowers
awaiting the final call which will
come in a few brief weeks.
So strenuous have been the
days of summer that we almost
forgot hew rapidly the season
passed. We have complained of
the heat just as we will complain
of Ihe cold in January, forgetful
of the manifold blessings that
come to us clothed in the hot rays
ot the sun.
Summer is necessary. Typhoid
is a dreadful disease. It is many
times fatal in its finish, hut the
man or woman who recovers be
comes a new body in the world.
All of the physical impurities are
away. The tire of fever
does its work. 11 burns slowly,
but if we withstand the torture
we have much to be thankful for,
and wd can take up the threads
of our tangled yesterdays, remade
and rejuvenated.
So it is with the world. When
the days of July and August are
counted among the yesterdays,
while we still suffer from the
heat that inevitably lingers on
through September, we can feel
content that the firce heat of sum
mer has purged the earth —that
the ground lias been parched for
a purpose—and when the chilly
winds of winter come and the
warm rains of spring fall the
scheme of nature will have been
fulfili d, and theearth onceiagain
will 'ft a tier
bou ’ y for the sustenahete vk man
kind.
Summer is gone. We view the
end with gratification and with re
gret. We Tnstrnctively feel that
our lives are passing like the days
of summer. Some of us have en
tered the autumn season of life;
some of us still linger in the dy
ing days of summer. To such the
passing season will appeal, be
cause it is so like the passing of
youth and the silent approach of
the time that marshals us into
the grey-haired days of winter. —
