"H.rp I- a thinpr Too younv; for such a i.iop." Pericles. It grow all about on the Highlands, .ringinjr; up in iaich?3 amons? the coarse sea jrai--e?. The firuunl was covered with gray lichen, thick and slt as velvet, and it was wonderful how uvh a delicate little thins found a footing. It had two neighbors as bright and beautiful as itelf, the golden aster und the dainty lield ro.M?, but they had strong, stiff Menis and would thrust the lichen :iFide or 1'k-ive iu How the blue-eyed gras managed no one knew, but it came up every year and lifted its flower stars to the li'ht and surprised the people w r,, 'a not s''en it before very greatly, for no one expected to ti.i l a Iiqht-blu-i llower larger than a f.-r t-mc-r.ot uin a sra plant. Down at the Cas-t Chop lighthouse a patch of it came up every year Just outside the white paling. whie.1 limited the lighthouse-keeper's ptrden. The keeper, "Cap'n" Synrs, had lived there nearly fifty years, lie did not tend light now; he had i:ot done so since hi Seventieth birthday, wh-n be retired in a pension u hN ne;:v wn? appointed In Ids pi. . He sat in hi. gar lei. i n fine afiTln. and evening!5, looking over the broad" lay, rr hawni. as it is filled, toward the twin light upon the West Chop, until the air grew chill and hi- bcg.m to cough, when he :viuetaiitiy suffered his niece to move )tn large stuffed rocker Indoors. On thc-v lire- f-ven?ngs :h : captain loved to talk to the s.t unterer.. S"-ne eame from thi cottage sea ;U red over the Highla this to l i.-k at the lischt and express rju-ir g:Mciou.- n;:rov.l of wh.it they were prof :i:Miy ignonnt of. 0;h r were mere idlers for wa.-m th fm and sky sufficed, and th-s listcr.el better.

Withnit netting up a rival claim t those worthier. 1 myself have a very pretty ta! nt for idle lLsieninp. and I like '.!. .'nne of an oil voice, a I like the wind through the pines. How seasoned, and to spak, tinie-.-u ain, d. old voices beei.ru'. and how they reveal the key to w.'iich t!! s-ul is tuned. The captain had p.-esse a deep full organ; it was pone, out a n-nnim: of its whok-oulr-ss was yet to lo ree.'tsrni7.-d. atl lie loved to ta'k, especially of himself and hisj ailveaturts. Those tilings to hear did I most Ferioiisly in. line, and many long aftenin.- ho talk-d away, while I sat smoking by hlrf side, or pulling the lloweis to pieces, under th pretext ..f botanizing. It was on. one of these long fine afternoons th.it he told me the .-tory of the blue-eyed grass. 1 had a Saraeh of it in my hand us I turned in at the pate, and the captain noticed it ininn-diab-.y. 'Iid vou ever tiiink what ihetn looked lik?' h asked. "No." I s.iid tentatively. "I don't know that I ever did. 1 never saw it before this week; it came all in a few days ar.d H 1 alreadv in fruit. It wiil not last long." "Waal." he Ktil slowly, "if you led lived with it for jcars. you'd see was just like the eve-i of ehildr n, little ( hPlren who hadn't lived long enough to l se the color nut of 'cm thai color like the f-ky out there." He pointed to the sky over tlv water, a clear, delicate blue sky, such as June loves, and I recognized ta at the flower 'ti my hand was i.f exactly the same nne. "I'd never have thought of it tlio'," he went on. "if it hadn'r been for Ali'lie. l never see it now without s -::ig her little white face as I .--iw it the fivt time, and the last. There was, not vi.h difference, only the last time the gold was. thicker in her cut is, but her eves u;s both ':mi-s ühet." I knew enugh now to remain, s-ti-nt if 1 wanted to hear a story rm tne old man, so I went on i'jietly t tlving a it wer to pieces by the aid of a s carr I in my pocket, and presently h began again. He always began in th--- raid lie. "1 never sc a wo.-.-. so.r.n than that, and no wonder that coaler 1 -:-t her bearln'.

Whin aid came to thorn they acted like crazy men and only three of "em -uld we save three of tin ru and a 1 ct! white bit of a girl, about th -e eais oi l. who was lashed to a spa:- and came on shore as if by a niira. Ie right to my wile's feet. Sh was the mate's daughter, the m -n told us. and he h: 1 j-t I s: hi- wife and was : bringin' hi r t atl nunt in New liedford. "He got ash .re bi ns.

Ti e o 1, . tie girl was jU right by that time and pluyin about happy here in the yard w.th mine, for he warn't lnore'n a baly. and didn't know what death meant. We wrote it nil to the papers, to N-w J'.e.lfoid and to jiorthern Maine, the place where the coal r come from, but n .body evr answered, and If then- was relation livin tliey was too hard and sellisa t come for'ard and claim the thild. atnl she was too yuung to know nothin" ff 'em. "After a year, and nothin' h-anl, we s.)rt o' g t to thinkin' of her as our own ind treatln' lier so. We never adapted her formally, but we had tur baptized and vaccinated, and in time w? almost forgot that she wasn't ours. Th ;n, when Khe'd been with us two years, our Ituthie died and we never had another baby, s Millie Kort o tilled lv r place as much as one child can All another's; but 'tain't exHetly s. f.jf eacli me setnu t) bring her own love with her, and you don't ever love two just alike. I'.ut at any rate, we loved Millie d-arly, and :-he was jest live years old. near as we could make out. when a tiling happened as t am poin' to tell, if y-.tfd care to hear it." He paused t- draw a good long breath, and I assured him of niy sincere interest. "Waa.. ?ir. if v ra'U believe it, in midsummer of that very year, a man turned ui and wanted to adopt in-r reg'lar and take her away to nesting to go to school, for she was stich a beautiful child.

BRASS

of our lives. It didn't seem easy to jine on the rest for many a day. an' we choked up at meals, we didn't hardly eat any. It was almost like losing Itulhie over again. She went away In OetoOer and we didn't look for her back till June when the cottages opened again, an' Ü was a dreary winter enough we hail. When Christmas come they sent up a letter in her name, with a black silk dress for wdfe, and dodi for a suit for me, jest to lot u-J see we were nt forgotten, an' that was all we heerd, till April. It was a fine, warm day for that time o yr.r. a pouth wind was Ftirrin' the young grasses an' there was a smell of spring in 'he air. when I went up to clean the glasses in the niorriln. an as I looked off to the West Chop there, what did I see a comin round inter the haven but a steam yacht that I'd knowed in a hundred. "t-'he was made on the CI yd", that yacht, and had a furrin cut to her jib that was different from any I'd evr seen liefere, tho' there's lots of 'em now around. That was how I came to know K'chards poin" on hoard that boat, and when I see her ag'in. I knowed sure as anything that bad news was a comin'. I jest went on cleanin the lights faster, like as if I was machinery, an' when I was done I went straight inter the kitchen to lind m other. " 'Mother,' sez I. 'that liichar.l oat is out there in the haven, an" it don't bode no pood. .Somethin'.s the mattet withr Millie an' he's come to tell u. but don't you git fidgety, as that don't do pood to nobody.' You know wonu-. a-e so flightj-, it is best to give "em wainin' an' firm support. " 'Uff, father," sez she. taking her hands out of the dough, 'now do you know that?' " 'I feel it convincin",' " sez I. "an" she never said a word m re ag'in it. Somehow we didn't talk much that mniin'. I to k to lixin' the garden and site swept, an dusted, an' got things shipshape, as if we was expectin' somebody, livery wheel we started an' ran to tae gite. but it wa.-n"c till after dinner that there come any message. Then a man come pall pin' up on horseback, its' it was worse than 1 feared. Millie was sick, had been pinln' f r months, an' they'd brought lnr back to the sea. hopin' it would help some. Could we be retdy for ln r and a nurse that nuht. an' riot let on to the child there was anything the matter? We sent w a'd back we wa.s ready, an' in alxut an hour tiiey brought ln r in an easy carriage, an' 1 kn .wed it all at the first look. That child wa.s a dyin t bome-sieknss for the sea. The nurse told us all about it. how she began to fail along abtut Christina -t time, an' they took her to one big doctor after another, an' tried to get lo-r to cat. an' to build her up. an' how that Kiehards got tile m st expensive toys an' sweetmeats for her, an' sat up nights watchin' her yacht.' an' th n Kiehards thought awhile last one doctor said: 'Snd her off on the yacht, an' then Kiehards thought awhile an' said: 'W uld you like to go to the lighthouse, Marina'." He always called her that outlandish name, out of a play, an' he said it meant something about the sea. When .hc heard that she ran an put her arms tight around his neck an cried out: '() nrule, can I, can I?' "An" so he knew that she had been longing to go all the time, an' hadn't understood it hcself, as how saou'd tne. bein' the mere baby she wa Yon see she hadn't -r been out of sii-'ht an' sound of the sea. bein' bore., as siv was. almost on the water. I've known st.on;.' men give in to it an droo,; liirht down, if they tried to give up folietin th; sei, an" live inland, an' here was a I. etle cm! I agoin' that way, an' nobody in all l.osting knew enough to help her."' "Waal, she come, an' mother .-i.o b--haved real ruit. owin' prlmaiially to my havln given her warnin. I 'spo-v. it was jest pitiful to see that child's nappy eye, follerin' us round or starin' ottt at ill sea. She was too weak I., talk niueh. but She Sol up till after supper to ;-,v the lights lit. an' .-Ii1 would .-deep jn the west chamber, so's she could 1 e.v an" look at 'em till she fell asleep. There ain't n.uch more to tell, but I can't bear to btify it somehow. Folks lure set'.s it's it'.,.osible for a child to die that way. an' she must hav had a kinder consumption, an' I don't know as there's any name for her complaint. Did you ever happen t.; hear one, sir'.'" Yes." said I. more to myself thin my auditor, "it is called no.oalbia in ihe luniks. I believe. Kttt then this 11 owvr nas a long name too. I don't t-e that tnat helps to know it." "I'm a comin to tlnm fiowers, sir, I ain't forgot 'em. Millie began a.'kin' ab nit them the next nmrnin'. " 'Daddy." sez she. 'is my little bhieeyes out yet? I want to see 'ctn so. They've got lots of (1 overs up to Hosting, big pink rose. an' lih. s, an' s.nne that's smi.ler an' smells sweeter, an' some that looks jest like lvü-s an' buttertlies. j;u: tht y I'Ut 'cm 0:1 for a i niter an' you can't pick 'em. s they ain't very much g .ol to anybody. I want to ri out an" ick lots of blu'-oyes an' pliv with 'em hkj I us-d to. Can't 1. Daddy?' Y'S. yes, soon as they grow." sez T, kinder careless and gulpin' down tnv tears, 'cos I was afraid if I gave in ther'd be no hoidin' m'fther, 'but tliey won't be ou: thU week'." "Every diy it was the s,i'in. She was always talkin' about g.hr out to pick llow rs. an for a few days it did seem likely enough. Sh brightened up a sight, an' rode out a little ways in the sunniest part of the day. an' twice she walked round the yaM here, an' into ih lighthouse itself. I'm the nurse wouldn't heatto her standin' on the- stone Uoor moie than a minute, an so she was kept very dose. I: was only a short: spell, kinder like a gleam of light behind a cloud, for th -re cam-j a coM wind, an' she wilted right dosn agiin. Then I took to goin' out to hunt for them blue ilnvers. far I made uji my mind sho should have 'em. an' pick 'em, too. I jest dug up the plants with buds on an' I planted a big patch of 'em there outside the yard, wh-n sh didn't know it. It was about all I could d for lur. for that Kiehards was comin' an poin', an' bringin' all sorts of useless things that nobody winted. "I don't want to iy nthiti' ag'in him. f r he did as well as he knew, an' that's all any of us kin da: but it did seetn as if ther. was a leak that migat'er bin stopped Biiner, an' somebody was t:r Mime. Wail, it'.--, thirty year ago now, an' I might as well give over Wanderin why the Kord allowed it, an' tell you th? end. It wasn't long, an I begin to think the blu flowers was never agoin' tj open i'i time, when one nurnin as I come ia from putt iu' out th? light a' daybreak, there they was all out, an" lookin" too prttty for anything. I said nothin ', hut after breakfast wi.en the nuri' had gans to sie p, an' mother was out the rojm a' minute. I s"t down by that child's b-d an' sez I siftly: 'Millie, what do yotj think I saw this mornui?' " "What, daddy,' sez she listless like, fer r-he was Rettin uvikor h. airly, an it hurt her speak much. ' 'smethin' you wanter pick. sez t. trying to hold her attention. She did light up for a minute then. " 'It's blue-eyes. sez she, with a wetkly 1 1 1 1 1 3 smile; 'but, diddy, I can't ever pick Vm. Oh. if I could j -st only have 'em. Are ihey r-il far off?' " 'You wait a minute," sz I, 'and you'll see.' anil I went out. It come right lata my head theta, an' 1 didn't ?t p tu argue. I went oot an' t ok a basket, an' dug up a lot of 'em, put 'cm inttr it, an' went an' s-t it down right on that whit? counterpane befare any wimmin" folks could hinder. Yau'd oughter sen that baby atryin' to pick 'em, an a-layin' 'em on her little nightg-own, an" her pillcr to play with! "She lived three days after that, but sa? never toak notice of an athcr thing, an' it Jest Seemed as if those flowers opened to give ompiny to her, f r she held one tight till her blue eye cIiskI. They've (.nie up every year In that place, just as If In her memory, th ' of co'se she's g)t x stone out to Auburn, an' her name uti it that is, the name, Marina. "Chilly, Is it ? Then I must be jr iin in. Strange, ain't it; I'm seventy and that baby wun't seven, an' th.ni fl w-r will go on livln' for hundreds of years nuy be. jist as if the world was mule f:a Vm."

J Iimiiitrtnlily C'onsolntlon for the j A:r- mill forronfnl Thr l'jiin of J Idling: nntl Jiiyn of llenven. i KKOOKLYX, Nov. 4. The Kev. Dr. Talmage, who is now nearing the close of his globe circling tour and will shortly leach American shores, has selected as the subject of today's sermon through the press, "Victory Over Pajn," the text chosen being Kevtlation xxi. 4, "Neither shall there lie any more pain." The first rju.'stions that you ask when about to change your residence to any city is: "What is the health of the place? It is shaken of terrible disorders? What are the bills of mortality? What is the death rate? How high rises the thermometer?" And am I not reasonabe in asking. What are the sanitary conditions of the heavenly city into which we all hope to move? My text answers it by saying, "Neither yhall there be any more pain." First, I remark, there will be no pain of disappointment in heaven. If I could put the picture of v. hat you anticipated of life when you began It beside the picture of what you have realized, I would rind a great difference. You have stumbled upon great disappointments. I'trhaps you expect -cl riches, and you have worked hard enough to gain them. You have planned atid worried and persisted until your hands were worn and your brain was racked and you hcrt fain.ed. and at the end of this barg strife with misfortune you tin! that if you hive not Neu lositivey defeated it has been a drawn battle. It is still tug and tussle, this year I i.-di'g what you gained last, iinancitl uncertaimies pulling down faster than you build. I -'or perhaps twenty or thirty ycars jam have becu running your craft straight into the teeth of tin- wind. Perhaps yen have had dome'-tie disappointment. Your children. uion whose education you lavished your hard earned dollars, have not turned out as exiected. Notwithstanding .all your counsels and prayers and painstaking they wdll not do r ight. Many a good father has had a bad boy. Absalom trod mi David's heart. That mother never Imagined all tliis as twenty or thirty years ago she sat by that child's cradle. No .More llluntcri Hope. Your life has ibeen a chapter of disappointments, but come with me, and I will show you a different scene. Ky God's grace, entering the other city you will never again have a blasted hope. The mo.-; jubilant of expectations will not leach the realization. Coming to t'he top of one hill of joy, there will ibe other bights rising upon the vision. This s-ong of transport wilt 'but lift you to higher antl a ms. the swtetesc choral but a prelude t more ti t inend ms" harmony, all things b-ttertlun you bad anticipated the ro'oe richer, the crown brighter, the temple grander, the ihr mg luightier. Further, I remark, there will be no pain of weariness. K may be many hours since you quit work, but many of you are unli sted, s tue from overwork, and some fr 'in dullness of trade, the latter more exhausting than the form. r. Your ankles ache; your spirits llag; you wan' rest. Aim tht.-e wheels always to turn, these shuttles to lie. these axes to hew, these shovels to delve, these pens to fly, these books to be posted, these goods to be sold? Ali. Uae gt eat holiday approaches! No more curse of taskmasters; no n ire stooping until the back aches; no m re calculation until the brain is bewildered: no more pain; no mue carpentry, for the in msi otis are all built; no more masonry, fir the walls are all reared; no more diamond cutting, f r the gems are all set; iiM more gold beating, for the crowns are all completed; no more agriculture, for the harvc-ds are spontaneous. Further, there will be no more pain or poverty. It is a hard thing to be really poor, to have your coat wear out and no money to get another, to have you.' Hour barrel empty and nothing to buy bread with for your children, to live in ah unhealthy row and no means to change your habitation, to have your child sii k with some mysterious disease and not be able to secure eminent medical ability, to have son or daughter begin the world and you not hive anything to help them in starting, with a mind capable of research and high contemplation to be perpetually lixej on questions of mere livelihood. Poets try to throw a romance about the Ioor man's cot, but there is no romance about it. Poverty is hard, cruel, unrelenting. Kttt Lazarus wiked up without his rags and his diseases, and so all of Christ's pour wake up at last without any of their disadvantages no almshouses, for the residence Is gratuitous; no garments to buy, for the robes are divinely fash-' ioned; no seats in church for poor folks, but equality among temple worshippers; no hovels, r hard crusts; no insullkient apparel. "They shall hunger n more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat." No more rain. Xo 1'nrf nrll. Further, there will be no pain of parting. All these associations must some time break up. We clasp our hands and walk together anJ talk and laugh and weep together, but we must after awhile separate. Your grave will be in one place, mine In another. We look each other full in the face for the last time. vy. will be sitting together some evening or walking together some day, and nothing; will be unusual in our appearance or our convtsation. but God knows that it is the last time, and messengers from eternity on their errand to take us away know It is the last time, and in heaven, where they make ready for our departing spirits, they know it is the last time. Oh, the long agony of earthly separation! It is awful to stand in your nursery lighting death back from the couch of your child and try to hold fast the little om and fee all the time that he is g-tting weaker and the breath is shorter, and make outcry to(Ciod to help us and t the docNx-.s to save him and see I: is of no avail, and then to know that his spirit is gone, and that you have nothing left bu: the casket that held the jewel and that in two or three days you must even put that away and walk round ab jut the house and find it desolate. sometimes feeling rebellious, and then to resolve to feel differently, and to resolve on fclf-control, and just as you have come to what you think Is perfect selfcontrol to suddenly come upon some little coat or picture or shoe half worn out. and how all the floods of the soul burse In one wild wail of ngony! Oh, my God, how hard it U to part, to close the eyes that never can look merry at our coming, to kiss the hand that will never again do u-5 a kindness! I kn w religion gives great consolation in such an hour, and we ought to be comforted, but anyhow and anyway you make it. it is awful. On fteambüit wharf find at rail car window we may smile when we say farewell, but these good-bys at the deathbed, they just take hold of the heart with iron pinchers und tear it out by the roots until all the libe.-s quiver and curl in the torture and drop thick blood. Theesepnrations are wine presses into- which our hearts, lik- red clusters, are thrown, and then trouble turns the windlass round and round until we are utterly crushed and have no more capacity ta suffer, and we stop crying because we have wept all our tears. On every street, at every doorstep, by every ci-unh. there have been pmings. Kut onve pist the heavenly portals, anil y at ir through with such, scenes forever. In that land there are many hand clippings and embracing, but only in recognition. That grit home circle n-ever breiks. Once And your cert les there, and y.nt hue Ihetn forever. Na crape Ahm from the do r of that blissful ref!de:ie. .j 1 eft hillside where the dead sleep.

Pain i-3 fjught with pain. The world is a hospital. Scores of di-ea-cs, like vultutvs contending for a carcass, struggle .is t which shall hive it. Our nituivn are infinitely susceptible to stiff-ring. The eye, the foot, tho hand, with immense eapicity of anguish. Tiie littb child meets at the entrance of life manifold diseases. You bear the shrill cry of infam y as the lancet strikes into the swollen gum. You see its head toss in consuming fevers tint take mote than half of them into the dust. Old age. passes, dizzy and weak and short breathed anil dim lighted. On every northeast wind come down pleurisies and pneumonias. Wat lifts its sword anil hacks away the life of whole generations. The hospitals of the earth groan into the ear of God their complaint. Asiatic cholera.-? and ;hip fevers and typhoids and London plagues make th" world's knees knock togcUicr. Pain has gone through, every street a rd up every ladder and down every shaft. Il is on the wave, on the mist, on the beach. "Wounds from clip of elephant's tusk and ad ier's sting aaid crocodile's tooth nd horse's hoof.s and wheel's revolution. We gather up the infirmities of our parents and transmit, to our children the it.ht.ritanee augmented by our own sicknesses, and they .add to them their own disorders, to pas-s th- inheritance to other g -aerations. In A. I). "tiJ the plague in K mie smote into the dust ."i.000 citizens daily. In .111, in Constantin pie, l.'.o gravediggers were not enough to bury the dead. In 113 opthalmia seized the whole Prussian army. At times the earth has sweltered with suffering. Count up the pains of Austerlitz. where IM.tMM fell; of FonUnoy. where P-0.in) f' ll; of Chalons, where ;;y0.oi)O fell: of Marius. right, in whica HMO.ood fell: of the tragedy at Herat, where Gcrghls Khan massacred l.('.oo,(.n) men, and of Nishar, where he slew 1.717,1.00 people; of the 1S.O00.imm) this monster sacrificed in fourteen years, as he went forth to 0, as he declared, to exterminate the entire Chinese nation and mike the empire a pasture for cattle. Tiiink of the detth throes of the r.o'K.,0'Mi men sacrificed in one campaign of Xerxes. Think of the ItlO.OOO that perished in the siege of Ostend, of 30o,00i dead at Ac-re, of 1,100.000 d"id in the siege uf Jerusalem, of 1,S1.000 of the dead at Troy, and then complete the review by considering the uip-ndous estimate of Edmund Korke that the loa. by war had been thirtylive times the entire then present population of the globe. Tale iif tin IluHlelield. Go through and examine the acerations, the gunshot fractures, the saber wounds, the gashes of the battleax. the slain of bombshell an.t exploded mine and falling carri .'ige 'and i ie '"hoff of the cavalry horse, the burning' thirst, the camp fevers, the frosts that shivered, the tropical suns thai smote. Add it up, gather it into one line, compress i; into one word, spell it in one syllable, clank it in one chain, pour it out ia one groan, distill it into on tear. Ah the weild hu.- writh-ed in G.tW'j years of suffering. Why doubt the possibility of a, future World of suffering when we see the torture.-; that have be.-a inflicted in this? A deserter fr un Sevastopol coming over to th arini--? of the allies painted back ta the f ertivsa and Slid, "That place is a perfect hell." Our lexicographers, aware of the immense necessity of hiving plenty of words tj express the different shades of trouble, have strewn over their pages such words as "anil jyanee," "distrcs.-," "grief," "bittern ess," "hentache," "misery," "twinge," "pang," "torture." "afllictlon," "anguish," "tribulation." "wretchedness," "woe." Kut l hive a glad sound for every hospital, fer every sickroom, for every lifelong Invalid, fr every broken barr. "There shall be no more pain." Thank God! Thank God! No malarias lloat in the air. No bruised fojt treads that street. No we.try arm. No painful respiration. No hectic flush. No one can drink of that healthy fjuntain and keep faint hearted or faint headed. He whose fot touches that pavement becometh an athlete.. The first kiss of that summer air will take the wrinkles fram the old man's cheek. Amid the multitude of songsters not one diseased throat. The first flash of the throne will scatter the darkness of those who were born .blind. See, the lame man leaps as a hart and the dumb sing. From that bat'a of infinite delight we shall step farth, our weariness forgotten. Who are those radiant ones? Why, that one had his Jiw shot off at Fredericksburg: that one last his eyes in a powder blast; thaa. one had his tick broken by a fall frani the ship's halyards; that one died of gang-rene in the hospital. No more pain. Sure enough, here is Kotiert Hall, who never before saw a well day, and Edward Payson, whose body was ever torn of distress, and Kichard Baxter, who passed through untold physical torture. All well. No more pain. Here, too, are the Theban legion, a grea; host of put to the sword for Christ's sake. No distortion on their countenance. No fires to hurt them, or Hoods to drown them, or racks to tear them. All well. Here are the Scotch Covenanters; n ire to hunt them nvv. The dark cave and imprecations of Lord Claverhou.se exchanged for temple service, and the presence of him who helped Hugh Latimer out of the fire; All well. No more pain. - Sweet Wnlor. I set open the doer of heaven until there blows on you this refreshing breeze. The fountain? of God have made it cool, and the gardens have made it sweet. I do not know that Solomon ever heard cm a hot day the lee click in an ice pitcher, but he wrote as if lie did when he said, "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." Clambering among the Green mountains I was tired and hot and thirsty, and I shall not forget how refreshing it was when after awhile I heard the mountain brook tumbling over the rocks. I had no cup, no chalice, so I got down on my knees and face to drink. Oh, ye climbers on the journey, with cut fee: and parched tongues and fevered temples, listen to the rumbling of sapphire brooks, amid flowered banks, over gdden stielvings! Listen! "The lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them unto living fountains of water." I do not offer it to yau in a chalice. To take this you must bend. Get down on your knees and on your face and drink out of this great fountain ff God's consolation. "And. lo I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice vt many waters:"

McariiH. 7. "And the Pharisees wont fov:h and Ft might way tuek ouun.srl with the Her-di.in.-nsiinsit Him, luw they might le-c-tiroy 1 1 im.' In Luke vi, 11, it i.- written that after Jefiis healed the man in the pynagv)gu? with the withered hand on the Sabbath "they wore filled with madness." The rhari.seVi and HeroJians .stand fur re'.i.qrious hyu-eri-.-y uid wrldlint-s.s. A hypxrite must, be an enemy of Chrfot, for He i.- truth itself and light, ai d without fcui'.e, while James tells us plainly that "the friendship ef the w.r'.d is enmity with dod," and John snys that "the wh."e wirld lieth in the wieked one. 7. "Hut Jesus withdrew Himself with HK- diseiph-s to ihe wa, and.- a great multitude from (Ja'i'.ee followed Him.'' AVorldlines and hyproerUy cause Jet-f.i to withdraw Himself. Religious: f.-rma:-ism will never draw 'the people who are hungering for something that is real. The world with all it.- unreality Jias h-othiii'g t" offer .sueh, but they will fo"oV JeSUSj to the seashore, or the yalvatiun army barracks, or the humblest place of worship where the simple gospel U preached by siKh as live it out in dai'y life. S. "And from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea. and from beyond Jo-rdan, and they about Tyre and Üidon. a great multitude, when they had heard what great things- He did, came unto Him." He Himself said, "The works that I do bear witness of Me that the Father hath s?nt .Me" (John v, 3G). IC there is none of His works in our llve.s, how can we prove that we are His? 0. "And He spake to Hi.-? disciples t'.nt a small ship sh uld wait on Him because of th? multitude, lest they should thron? Him." It is n;t to the careless, aimless, surging crowd that J ' ? reveals Himself a:iu nukes Ills power known, but to such as seek Him with humility of mind and detlnit eness of aim. Hi word is always true, "Ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye seirch for Me with all your heart" (J?r. xxix, 13). 10. "For He had healed many, insomuch that they pres-od upon Him for to touch Him, as many as hid plagues." It wis the healing of the body they sought, not the deeper and more serious h?aling of the soul. Yet He h?aled many, for He had compassion upon them, and It was Hi3 custom as Hi healed to ireach the word (Math, iv, 23). 11. "nd unclean spirits, when they saw Him, ..ell down before Him, and cried, saying. Thou art th Son of God." Thise demons from the pit knew Him and testified as to who He was, xh.z men knew Him not and received Him not. thiugh they saw His works. In the first chapter of Isaiah II? had s.iid Ions b?foi'3 that the dumb brutes, the ox and the ass, put ljis peoplo in Israel to shame. 12. "And He straitly changed them that they should not make Him known." He haa no fellowship with demons and wants no help from them. In John v He says that Ills father, and His works, and liis word all bear witness unto Him. The light is His witness, for God is light, and in Him is no dirknes at all. We cannot be in full fellowship with Him If we seek honor of men rather than th? honor "which com?th from God only. May hi approval be everything to us, and our great ambition to b? well pleasing in His sight (John v, 44; II Tim. il, 13; II Cor. v, 9, 14. V. margin). 13. "And He goeth up Into a mounta'i and calleth unto Him whom He would, and they came unto Him." In Luke vi, 12, it is written that He continued all night In prayer to God. He did nothing without much prayer. Are we in any measure like Him In this? After prayer He chose a few out of many to make them a blessing to many (John xv, 1C). Election is always the choosing of some that others through them may be benefited. 14. "And He ordained twelve, that they should be With Him, and that He might send them forth to preach." In the last verse we emphasized "unto Him." Let us here emphasize- "with Him" nnd "forth to preach." Having come unto Him, we must abide with Him in order to be qualified to go" forth to preach. "Abide thou with me, fear not," said David to AMatar (I Sam. xxii, 23), assuring Him that whoever touched the one life touched the other. 1. r.

While to the seventy He said, "I give you power over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt yon" (Luke x, 1'.). Set what high autlvvhy for medical missions, "Preach the gospei: heal the sick." It. "And Simon He surnamed Peter." The account of this change of name is found in John i, 42. and reminds us .f thhange of Ahrain V Abraham and .lach t Israel. It is suggestive of the old an 1 the new, the natural and the spiritual. Petrus, which is always the word translated Peter, means a piece or fragment f stone, while Petra, on which Christ sai l He would build His church (Math xvi. IS), means a large rock, a ledge, a (lift. It is used in reference to Christ in I Cor. x. 4; I Pet. ii, 8. He never said He would build his church on Petras (the name Peter), but on I'etra, the solid rock, even Himself and His truth. 17. "And Jamns. the son of Zebedep, and John, the brother of James, and He ts-urnamed Lhet.i Itoanerge., which is tin tsons of thunder." Young says in his concordance that this- word signilii.s "sons of rage, soon angry." and reform to their fiery zeal, signs of which ni.iv be seen in Luke ix, "4. anl Mark ix, JK. They, with Peter and the others who were trjje disciples, were completely changed when tilled with the spirit at Pentecost. IS. "And Andrew and Philip and P.artholoniew and Alatthrw and Th-mas and James, the sm of Alpheus, and ThaJdeus and .Simon, the Cair.ianite." Andrew was one of th? first, two who followed Je-uis when John the l?ap:is.t cried, "ii- hold the Lamb of God." and th- n he br .tight Sim "in (John i, 40, 41). Jesus Himself sough. Philip, and then Philip brought Xathanael. supposed to be the same as Bartholomew (John i. 43-4"i). 19. "And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed Him. and they went into an house." This is a last which sh i'.l never be first. He was numbered with them and had obtained part of öhe minl.-try (Act.s i, 17), but Jesu.-? knew he was a wicked one when He chose him (John vi. 70).
