And that in the last day will ba the highest of all enlogiums. I learn further from this subject that death comes to the summer house. Eglon did not expect to die in that fine place. Amid all the flower leaves that drifted like summer snow into the window, in the tinkle and dash of the fouutnins, im the sound of a thousand leaves fluting on ono tree branch, in the cool breeze that grave and will awls round and round came an to shake feverish trouble out of the throne a1 God swing without end, the king's looks --there was nothing that spake of death, but there bo died In the winter, wben the snow is a shroud, and when the wind is a dirge, it is easy to think of our mortality, but when the weather is pleasant and all our surround Ings are agreeable, how difficult it is for us to appreciate the truth that we are mortal1 And yet my text teaches that death does sometimes oorne to the Burn mer house. He ie blind and cannot sea the leaves. He is deaf and cannot bear the fountains. Oh, if death would ask US for victims we could puint him to hund- reds of people who would rejoice to have they were triumphant,him come. Push back the door of that But I do net suppose that :Ehud, the hovel. Look at that little child—cold, Bret time he took a sling in his left hand and sink, and hungry. It hos never heard the name of God but 1n blasphemy. Par- ent intoxicated, staggering around its straw bed. Oh, death, there is a mark for thea! Up with it into the light! Be- fore those little feet stumble on lice's pathway give them rest. Amen. Ah, mel It is high time that you left handed men, who bawl been longing for this gift and that eloquence and the other Tan's wealth, should take your left band out of your pockets. Who made all these railroads? Who set up all these cities? 'Who started all these churches and scboots and asylums? \Fbo has done the tugging and running and pulling? Men of io wonderful endawmente, thousands of them acknowledging themselves to be left handed, and yet they were earnest, and yet they Were determined, and yet could throw a stone at a hairbreadth and not miss. I suppose it was practice that gave him the wonderful dexterity. Go forth to your spheres of duty ami be not discouraged if, in your first attempts, you miss the mark. Ehud missed It. 'Take another stone, put it carefully into the cling, swing it around your head, take better aim, and the next time yon will strike the center. The first Mine a mason rings his trowel upon the brick be does not expect to put up a perfect wall. The first time a carpenter sends the plane over a beard or drives a bit through a beam he does not expect to make perfect execution. The first time a boy attempts a rhyme he does not expect to chime a "Lalia Bookb," or a "Lady of the Lake." Do not be surprised it In your tiret efforts at doing good you are not very largely Suo0essful Understand tbat usefulness is an art, a science, a tract°. There was an oculist performing a very difficult operation on the human eye. A young doctor stood by and said, "I3ow easily you dothat; it don't seem to cause you may trouble at all," "Ab," said the . --olds oculist, "it is very easy now, but I ' spoiled a hattul of eyes to learn that.

After the sharpest winter the spring dismounts from the !boulder of a southern gale and pute its warm band upon tbo earth, and in its palm there Domes the grass, and there come the Dowers, and God reads over the poetry of bird and brook and bloom and pro- nounces it very rood. What, my friends, If every winter had not its spring, and every night its day, and every gloom its glow, and every bitter now Its sweet hereafter! If you have been on the sea, you know, as the ship passes in the night, there is a phosphorescent track left behind it, and as the waters roll up they toss with unimaginable splendor. Nell, across this groat ocean of human trouble Jesus walks. Oh, that in the phosphorescent track of his feet we might all follow and bo illumined! There was a gentleman in a rail car who saw in that same oar three passen- gers of very different circumstances. The first was a .maniac. He was carefully guarded by bis attendants. Hie mind, like a ship dismasted, was beating against a dark, desolate coast, from which no help could moue. The train stopped and the man was taken tint into the asylum to waste away perhaps through years of gloom. The second passenger was a culprit. The outraged law had seized on him. As the cars jolted the chains rattled. On his face were crime, depravity and despair. The train halted, and he was taken out to the peni- tentiary, to which he had been condemn- ed. Tore was the third passenger, under far different circumstances, She was a bride. Every hour was gay as a marriage bell. Life glittered and beckoned, Her companion was taking her to his father's house. The train halted. The old man Was there to welcome her to her new home, and his white looks snowed down upon her as he sealed bis word with a father's kiss. Quickly we fly toward eternity. We evil] soon be there. Some leave this lite oondetnned culprits, and they refuse a pardon. Oh, may it be with us that, leaving this fleeting life for the next, we may find our Father ready to ;greet us to our now horse with him for- ever!

The companions of his south all gone, bis children dead, ha longs to be at rest, and wearily the days and the nights pass. He says, ' "Come, Lord Jesus, come quioltly." Oh, death. there is a mark for thee'! Take from him the staff and give him the scepter! 17p with him into the light, where eyes never VOW dim, and the hair whitens not througb the long years of eternity, Ahl Death will not do that. Death turns back from the straw bed and from the aged nu"o ready for the skies and comes to they summer house. Wbat dooet thou here, thou bony, ghastly monster, amid this waving grass and under this sun- light sifting through the tree branches? Children are et play. How quickly their feet go and their looks toss in the wind. Father and mother stand at the side of the zoom looking on, enjoying their glee. It does not seem possible that the wolf should ever break into that fold and carry off a lamb. Meanwhile an old arober' stands looking througb the thicket. Ho points his 'arrow at the brightest of the group—he is a sure marksman --the bow betide, tbe arrow speeds! Hush now. The aulok feet have stopped and the locks toss go more 10 the wind. Laughter has gone out of the hall. Death inthe summer house, Here is a father in midlife. His ootn- ing home at night is the signal for Mirth.

"That is really very nice of him. And pray, is it that you are crying for?

".Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God and wire 11 is that with to thee, Give mo to drink, thou wouldst have asked of 1-lim, and He would Immo given thea living water." The gift of God is the Sou of Clad, as we Paw in last lesson (3.10). If the woman had ever learned what re call Isa. lv, she Haight now have thought of rho words, ""Ho, every one that thirstoth, come yo to the waters!" and have said, Art thou Ho of whom Isaiah wrote? If she] had known , Jer. 11, 13, she might have asked, Art thou a fountain of living water? But she knew not these things; she was not living unto God, yet her soul was precious in God's sight. 11. "The woman saith unto flim, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From whence, then, bast thou that living water?" Whether it be rich, religious flesh, as in Nicodemus, or poor, sinful flesh, as in this woman, it is in either case ignorant of spiritual things. The well is too deep, and the natural man has nothing to draw with. The woman unwittingly described her own condition in her words to our Lord. She thought only of natural water, a rope and a bucket. She did not know the words of Isa. ail, 3, '"S,\'ith jay shall ye draw water out of the wails of salvation." -He testified what He knew and had seen. Those who be- lieve His testimony proclaim Him as the Truth, but those who receive not His tes- timony make Him a liar. Let us as faith- ful witnesses proclaim what we have heard and seen (I John i, 11). 12. "Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself and his children and his cattle?" In chapter viii, 58, the rulers ask Him, "Art thou greater than our fathers A.brabaml Greater than Solomon or Jonah (Math. sii, 41, 42), greater than prophets or patriarchs, greater than angels or archangel, one with God the Father, God manifest in the flesh, how meekly Be bore it all, to be so unknown, so misun- derstood! Are you, for His sake, willing to have souse one fax beneath you socially or intellectually spoken of as better than you, and can you keep still? Can you bear to hear some other land or city hon- ored above yours and be meekly quiet be- cause your city is New Jerusalem? 13. "Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again.", Both literally and figura- tively true. The first the woman could grasp, for she came often to draw.water, but the second she understood not. But few have • yet learned that the waters of this world cannot satisfy, and the multi- tudes seek the pleasures of sin, which sat• isfy but for a season. They hew them- selves out cisterns that can hold no water (Heb. xi, 25; Jer. ii, 13). 14. "But whosoever drinkoth of the water that I shall give him shall neve_ thirst, but the water that I shall give hire shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life." Christ in us, the hope of glory is a well that not only abundantly satisfies, but is ever spring- ing tip to refresh others.
