In Memoriam: Alfred Barnes, D.D., and Henry Alford, D.D.

Opposite Ideas of Life: The Materialistic and the Spiritual.

"ONE GENERATION PASSETH AWAY, AND ANOTHER GENERATION COMETH, BUT THE EARTH ABIDETH FOR EVER." "THE SUN ALSO ARISETH, AND THE SUN GOETH DOWN, AND HASTETH TO HIS PLACE WHERE HE AROSE. THE WIND GOETH TOWARD THE

SOUTH AND TURNETH ABOUT UNTO THE
NORTH: IT WHIRLETH ABOUT CONTI-
NUALLY, AND THE WIND RETURNETH
AGAIN ACCORDING TO HIS CIRCUITS.
ALL THE RIVERS RUN INTO THE SEA :
YET THE SEA IS NOT FULL: INTO THE
PLACE FROM WHENCE THE RIVERS
COME, THITHER THEY RETURN AGAIN."

"ALL THINGS ARE FULL OF LABOUR:
MAN CANNOT UTTER IT: THE EYE IS
NOT SATISFIED WITH SEEING, NOR THE
EAR FILLED WITH HEARING. THE
THING THAT HATH BEEN IT IS THAT
WHICH SHALL BE AND THAT WHICH
IS DONE IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE
DONE: AND THERE IS NO NEW THING

UNDER THE SUN. IS THERE ANY
THING WHEREOF IT MAY BE SAID,
SEE THIS IS NEW? IT HATH BEEN
ALREADY OF OLD TIME WHICH WAS
BEFORE US."
