th and reputation, and all worldly
things will have to be left behind us; but character, that which you and

does the farmer put the grain after it has been
separated from the chaff? What is spoken of in the
Bible as God's garner?

red. This red coloring can be easily done with red
ink. If that is not available, a drop or two of
black ink will answer.

will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Now I want
to talk to you to-day about our wonderful bodies, in the creation of
which God has so marvelously displayed His infinite wisdom.

I suppose you have been either near or inside a factory. You have heard
the noise of the shafts and the pulleys and machinery. You have seen the
carding machines, and listened to the noise of the great spinning jacks
which twisted the cotton and the wool into yarn or thread, and heard the
deafening sound of a great many looms as the shuttles flew backward and
forward, while the many threads were being woven into cloth. A factory
is quite wonderful, but do you know that in your bodies are found the
elements of almost all the kinds of machinery that are used in the
world? God has so created us that we do not hear th
