In some strata there are to be seen the marks of showers of rain
which fell centuries ago, and they are so plain and perfect that
they clearly indicate the way the wind was drifting and in what
direction the tempest slanted from the sky. So may the tracks
of youthful sins be traced upon the tablet of life when it has
merged into old-age tracks on which it is bitter and sad to
look, and which call forth many a worthless longing for the days
and months which are past. (Text.)--MURSELL.
