Tbe leaves are flaming to their fall, going gloriously to death; or else are dull, monotouous brown. Some at tbe warning touch of tbe frost, telling them that death, stealthily, but swift and sure, is in the coming wind, array themselves in crimson and scarltt, rich russet and flashing gold, garb more splendid than they wore while June's sunshine and warmth and gentle winds kissed and carressed them with promise of peace, life. Through the soft, dreamy haze of the Indian summer they mae furtst and moun tain side beautiful, far-reaching mass-8P8 of vivid color. Others shrivel and shiver and surrender all the beauty of the summer time, crackling dry, col orless and dead as October blasts sweep rudely upon tbem. Presently both shall lie thick on the ground below, rustling to the careful feet of tbe forest creatures or tbe tread of man or the driving of the gale.

Later all together frhall be beaten Into sudden masses by the winter rain and in tbe mystic, subtle processes of natu shall yield tbe elements to earth aid air to make the multitude of glories and growth and beauties of the next summer; but some have made tbelr fading and going and death tbe most splendid and vital part of their living, and the others have merely and sul lenly faded, withered, died and dis appeared. Nature teems busily with lessons for life and offers them to us with loving mother's eager solicitude from every little leaf and flower, from her smaller to her largest marvels and triumphs. She tells us and teaches us with careful maternal pains and reit eration that there is somewhere an antidote for every poison, a cure for each care, a blessing in each seeming disaster, light and beauty and hope to be gathered fr every sorrow. The tear hanging suspended and quivering on the eyelash gathers in a moment all tbe prismatic colors nature's ten der, timorous giving of her best and brightest beauties and glories and promises, God's pledge and assurance that man shall not be overwhelmed and need not be destroyed by any del- luge. We read of crowns and glories to come hereafter, of green pastures by placid, tree shadowed, sun lighted waters, of wide expanses of pace and perfect rest.

May we not gam and pos sera these here? The souls witbin us are vast 111 mitable. We may people and occupy and make their landscapes and their atmospheres as we will. They are ours to use. will and pur pose and power over ourselves are given to us. The leaves tell us.

With the touch of the chilling frost, with the bleak breatn of the killing wind against us, the test comes, for in the soothing, balmy, fragrant breath of summer and long days and kindly suns the leaves are all green and beautiful alike. Our lives are not completed and gloriffed without sorrow and loss and disappointment. Our triumphs are not completely sweet unless they have been waited for and reached against many obstacles. Our personal loves are not perfect, can not fill our hearts to ovei flowing measure and saturate with clean delights our Inmost souls, until they have known doubt and fear and pain mutually endured No happiness Is so exultantly glorious spendid as that of reunion after long parting, restoration after aliena tion, and pure and patient waiting when hearts find home at last and rest Ihere. The illustrations might be made through the whole long cata logue of human impulses, emotions and affections.

Tbe leaves are senseless things They must glorify the Indian summer and wave tbe gorgeous banners of purpose triumphantly fulfilled in the face of grim and killing winter, or crinkle and die tgnominiously sere and dull, as their parent stems demand Men and women brlngirg or to brirg new children into the world are under tbe responsibility to be determined and alloted none of us may know how or where or how much of determln ing how the impulses and inclinations of those to come shall be, Of makirg the traits to be transmitted. But each man and woman of us is an in dependent and a self -controlling being Different from the leaves dar gilnar on the trees, helplessly compelled to obey as nature and inheritance may order, we are allied to and part of the Power above nature, are given prerogatives, responsibilities, attributes and prom lses akin to those of nature but mys tically apart from them. We of all created thlngi alone have the right of appeal from our parentage, of resisting even to tbe potency of Inheri tance. It is our privilege, our work and our right to overcome. Our bodies, like those of tbe leaves shall presently He sodden, horrible and bid den by the process of nature from corruption and decay contribute through earth and atmosphere to the gifts and glory of tbe living world.

In tbat thought there is no humiliation or repugnance. So far we share the fate and do the work of the leaves. It is for each of us to deter- mine.whether we shall be like the leaves which gather bewllderiDg glo ries of beauty from the shadow and breath of death and mark the going of the kindly summer with colorirg more brilliant than summer can give, or those which merely die and fail to rot It is certain tbat we can draw through our tears prismatic lights to Illuminate our souls and shine out on the world around us, that we can, if we will, consecrate every pang and make each humiliation the root of high purpose and sacred tbougri. We have the example. It is for esl of us to say whether we shall be made Infinitely better or miserably worse from what ourwe call affllctlous, misfortunes and mischances.

The choice is open to us and we are responsible Individually, as the leaves are not be cause we have the right of choice, and the leaves not. We may gather and make from our troubles as we will may make of hell a heaven, of heaven a hell. Tenderly nature guards her chil dren. Urgently she woos them to do their best. At every season, every day and at every step she presents to us a teaching of some eternal truth.

Through the leaves she tells us tbat Held a Most SaooetMirul and Pleasant Meeting Liul Week.
