				 A year compared to a Book- Christian witness and Advocate
				 A year may be compared to a book. Every day is a
				 leaf, and every seventh leaf is the Sabbath.The last
				 day of every year finishes a volume, and every new
				 year's day commences a new one. On one page of every
				 leaf is written our opportunities for doing and getting good
				 and on the other, our improvement of them. On one page
				 God's dealings with us; on the other, our behavior toward
				 him. On one page of every seventh leaf, the Sermons we hear,
				 the books we read, and the opportunities for retirement,
				 and for mental and spiritual improvement; on the other
				 the use we make of these opportunities. Some of our readers
				 have finished eight, some ten volumes, and perhaps some
				 eighteen or Twenty- They are all arranged in the great
				 universal library, waiting for the sound of the last
				 Trumpet, when they will be brought forth and read
				 before an assembled world. What frightful and alarming
				 records will then be exposed, blanks, blots, crimes and
				 errors, and crimes of every sort, according to the size of
				 the volumes. Which of us would not shudder to have our
				 annual volumes audibly read, or even to look into them
				 ourselves. We have now just completed another volume;
				 it is already sealed, and added to those before in the library.
				 No alteration can now be made. We cannot examine,
				 erase, and revise it, as we do other books What is written,
				 is Written, and we must meet it at the Last day as it
				 now stands. All we can do is to regret what is wrong in
				 the past, and amend it in the next volume, if we are spared
				 to finish it. I could not anticipate with composure the day
				 when my books shall be read, were it not that in every
				 page on the last few volumes I have written
				 Christ Crucified.</p></div>
