THOUGHTS FOR 1878.

By Mary L. Williams

BRO. HASKELL has been with us for a few days; and, by his stirring appeals, he has, I hope, induced us to form holier resolutions and strive for a higher walk. Our spiritual strength has been renewed; but ah! how sad we feel as we remember loved ones who take no interest in the truths that make our hearts glad.
The old year is gone, and the book of remembrance, which the recording angel has written, will show how we have improved the days. I regret that I have not done more for the cause of truth. We cannot recall the past, but we can learn wisdom for the future. Time flies too swiftly, and the golden moments are too precious, for vain regrets. Let us make up for the lost past by increased labor in the future.
Perhaps this year may be the last with many of us; and oh! where are we drifting? Is it well with us? Let us make no more vain resolutions, but proceed at once to duty. Knowing our weakness, let us pray and trust. God will help us, and give us patience to endure even to the end.
