Almost Home*
^ This is one of tho most joyous cxnros*

? as .lie is on tho point of receiving I
? braces and greetings of the dear" ones I
? at home. So is it with tho aged chris- J
? lian, as, in the far advance of his nil- 1
? grirnage, ho feels that lie approaches the I
? boundary 1 ne, and will soon cross over 1
? tho land ol promise. Many of his best I
? friends had crossed over before him I
? nnd they havo long been beckoning him' I
? upward nil I onward. They await his I
? arrival with the joyful welcome of holy I
? ones. And as tokens multiply on cither I
I hand, that tho land of Iictilah is rear he I
? feels that lie is almost homo. The ripe I
? fruit of a iong Christian lifo is about to I
