A year has gone-a mere second in God's ; endless time ; lIa , bubble on a shoreless sea. " Still in its brief period it has per- formed , those duties which were appointed it in the morning of t.ime , It I has contributed the mite reserved for it through all the " . : \ - ages to the development of God's great whole ; and now , having - i accomplished the purposes of its creation , with its burden for a pillow it 'lies down by the wayside to fall into the : dreamless . .
