THE LIFE OF SERVICE. Merciful Sentence That Wat Passed Upon Man by the Creator. It was a merciful sentence which tho Creator passed upon man for his disobedience "In tho sweat of thy face shnlt thou eat bread;" for to tho punishment Itself ho stands indebted for health, strength, nnd all tho enjoyment en-joyment of life. And, though, tho ground was pronounced cursed for his disobedience, yet Is that curso so ordered or-dered to bo tho punishment, chiefly and almost solely of tboso who, by intemperance in-temperance or sloth, indict 1' upon themselves. Tho stoutest timber stands on Norwegian rocks, whero tempests rago and long, hard winters reign. Tho muscles nro seen most fully developed In tho brawny arm thnt piles the blacksmith's hammer. Kvon so tho most vigorous and healthy piety is that which Is tho busiest, which bus Its hands full of good works, which has neither tlmo nor room for ovll, but, aiming at great things both for God and man, promptly and summarily dismisses temptation with Nchcmlnh's nnswer, "I havo a great work to do, therefore, I cannot como down."
