Many times have I beee asked to
preatth a sermon .about the elder
brother of the parable. I received .a
lo er from Canada 'saying, 'Is the ,e1 -
tier son, of the parable so unsympa-
thetic and so cold that he is not
WOr thy of recognition?'' The fact is
that we ministers pursue the younger
son. Y•ou ,can hear the flapping of
his rags in lhany a sermonic breeze
and the eiranciiiiig of the pods for
whiali he was an unsuccessful con-
testant. IE confess that it has been
difficult for este lo train the camera
obscura upon the :elder son •of the
Parable. I ,could not get a negative
Lor a photograph. There was :not
enough light in the gallery, or the
chemicals were , too poor, ,or the' sit-
ter anoved .in the picture., But mow
I think I ,haVe him, not a side face
or a three-quarters ,or the mere bust,
but a full length portrait as he ap-
pears to me. The father in •tbe ,par-
able of the prodigal had nothing to
.brag of in his two sons. The ,one
was a rake .and the other a curl.
find nothing admirable dn the disso-
luteness of the one, and 1 find noth-
ing attractive 'in the acrid sobriety
'of the .other. The one goes •clown
over the larboard side, and the 'other
goes !lown over the starboard side,
but they both .go .clown.
From all the windows ,of the old
homestead bursts the minstrelsy. The
floor quakes with the feet of the rus-
tics, whose ,dance is always vigor-
ous and' resounding. The neighbors
have heard of the return of the
younger son from his wanderings,
and they have gathered together.
The house is fell •of congratulators.
I suppose the tables are loaded with
luxuries, not only the one lcind Of
meat mentioned, but its concomi-
tants. --Clap!'' •go the cymbals,
"Thrum!" go the harps, 'Click!'' go
the chalices, up and down go the feet
•inside, while 'outside is .a most sorry
spectacle. '
The senior ,son •stancls at the corner
of the house, a frigid phlegmatic. Be
has just come in from the fields in
very substantial .apparel. Seeing -
some wild exhilarations around the
old mansion, he asks of a servant
. passing by with a goat -skin of wine
on " his shoulder what all the fuss is
1( about. One would thave thought
that, on hearing that his younger
brother had got back, he svoulcl 'have
gone into the abuse amd.rejateed,,and
if he were not conscientiously ,oPpos-
ed to dancing, that he would have
joined the oriental schottish. No,
there he stands. His brow 'lowers;
his face darkens; his lip .curls with
contempt.. He stamps the ground
with indignatton; he sees nothing at
all to attract. The odors of the
feast, coming' out ,on the air, :do not
sharpen his appetite. The lively
music does not put any spring into he
his. • step. He is in a terrible pout. 1i.:1-1
He cedticises ' the expe1 'e, the d•njus- 00
tice and the nacre's of the ,enterteen- wa
ment. The father rushes ,out bare-
headed and coaxes hini to .come an.
He will not go in. He scolds the
father. 1 -Te goes into ,a- pasquinade
against the Younger brother, :and he
makes the most uncomely scene. He
says; , "rather, you put ,a premium
on vagabondism. I 'staid at home
and worked on the farm. You never,
made a party for ine; you didn't so
much as kill a kid. That wouldn't
have cost half as much as a calf;
but this scapegrace went off in fine
clothes, and he comes back not fit to
be seen, and what a time you 'make
,
over him! He breaks your- heart,,
.-and you pay him for It. That calf
ato which we have been giving extra
Iced during all these weelcs; wouldn't
be so fat and sleek if a
I h',a known to
swhat use you were going to put it.
That vagabond deserves to be cow-
thided instead of banqueted. Veal is
.etock good for him." That evening,
Agwhile the younger, son sat telling his
lather about his adventures and ask-
ng- hbout what had occurred on the
place since his departure, the senoir
brother , goes to bed disgusted and
elams tbe door after him. That sen-
ior brother still lives. You can See,
him on Sunday, ,any 6113r of the week.
At .a meeting of ministers in Ger-
many some one asked the question
"Who is that elder sen?" and Krum- gen
maches answered, I know him; hou
•
, saw him yesterday." And evleen they und
-were sutterly -,olneoXious. I
never 'so badly, cheated in my
as by, a, perfect man. He got se far
up in his«devotions that he was clear
up above all .the rules of common
honesty. These men that go about
prowling among prayer, meetings and
in , places of . business, telling .how
,good they are --look out for them;
keep your hand on your pocketbook!
I have noticed that just in propor-
tion as.aanamgets good he gets hum -
ale.

Again the senior brother of my text
stands for all those who. are faith-
less about the reformation of the
dissipated and the dissolute. In the
very tones of his voice you can hear
the fact that he has no faith that
the reformation of the younger son is
gemine. 1-Iis entire manner seems to
say: "That boy has .conie back for
more money. He got a third of the
property; now he has come back for
another third. , He will never be coo -
tented to stay on the farm. He will
fall away. I *would go in too and
rejoice with.- the others if I thought
this thing were genuine; but it is a
sham. That boy is a confirmed in-
ebriate and debauchee." Alas, my
friends, for the incredulity in the
church of Christ in regard to the re-
clamation of the recrectnt! You say
man has been a strong drinker. I
saay, ''Yes, but he has reformed."
"Oh," you say, with a lugubrious
face, "1 hope you are not mistaken;
1 hope you are not mistaken." You
y: "Don't rejoice, too much over
is conversion, for soon' he will be
iconverted, I fear. Don't make too
g a, party for that returned procli-
al or , strike the tinthrel too loud;
id, if you kill a calf, kill the one

ore ,prodigals do not come home to,
er father's house. It is the rank
fidelity in the church of God on

the sour, unresponsive, censorious,
saturnine, ,cainky elder brother, ,and
if you are .going to heaven one would
think some people would be tempted
to go to perditiort to get away from
you. The hunters say that if a deer
be shot the ,other deer shove him
out of their company, and the gen-
eral rule is--eaway with a nia,n that
has been wounded with sin. Noev,

Again, I remark that the senior
brother of my text stands for the
spirit of envy and jealousy. The sen-
ior brother Ulm:gist that all the hon-
or they did to the returned brother
was a wrong to him, 'He said, "I
have stayed at home, and I ought to
have had the ring, and I ought to
have had the bauquet, and ought.
to have had the garlands." .Alas,
for this spirit of envy and jealousy
coaling down through the ages! Cain
and Abel, Esa.0 and Jacob, Saul arid
David, Hainan and Mordecai, Othel-
lo and Lego, Orlando and Angelica,
Caligula and Torq 0 a bus, „Caesar and
Pompey, Columbus n d the Spanish
courtiers, Cambyses and the brother

better. singer. Jealousy among paint-
ers. Closterman and Geoffrey Knel-
ler, Hudson and Reynolds, Francia,
anxious to see a picture of Raphael,
Raphael sends him a picture. F'rancia,
seeing it, falls in a fit of jealousy,
from which he -dies. Jealousy among
authors. Row seldom contemporar-
ies- speak of each other! Xenophon
and Plato living at the same time,
but from their writings you never
would suppose they heard of each
other. Oh, this accursed spirit of
envy and jealousy! Let us stamp
it out from all our hearts.
A wrestler was so envious of
Theog,enes, the prince of wrestlers,
that he could not be consoled in any
way; and after Theogeues died and a
statue was lifted to hien in a public
place his envious antagonist went
out every night and wrestled with
the statue, until one night he hrel,v
it, and it fell on him and crushed
him to death. So jeolousy is not
only absurd, but it is killing to the
body, and it is killing to the soul.
How seldom it is you find one mer-
chant speaking well of a merchant in
the same line of business. How sel-
dom it is you hear a physician speak-
ing well of a physician on the sanie

These beef rings are simply
fresh beef during the summer months.
les, Some rine,s have 20 niembers, and
o hers 1,6, or whatever it may be
made. The chart we herewith* show
is for a ring of 16 niemaers. The
members each agree to put in a beast
that will dress say 400 pounds,
which will allow 25 pounds to each
member. A beast is lcilled each week
and distributed to the members in
such u, syst,ein as to give each a dif-
feretit cut each vclek-, so that by the
end of the 16 NVeeks, as the case
might be, each member will have re-
ceived a whole carcass in weelcly sec-
tions.
A butcher is appointed, as well as
a secreeary. The leutcher provides a
suitable place for killing, and fur-
nishes a hook for every inember, on
which each man's share is hung. He
kills the animal in the evening and
cuts it up in the morning, weighs
each share, hangs it upon its respec-
tive hook. He keeps an accurate ac-
count of the weight of each animal
Of the quantity that each one re-
ceives per week. He changes each
week the order in which the' cuts are
distributed; that is, the cut No. 1
receives this week, No. 2 receives
next week, and No. 1 takes the place
of No. 16. I:fe renders to the secre-
tary the account at the end of each
season of weight of each animal and
of weight of meat received by each
member.
The diagram represents A's beef

Ah, the face of this pouting elder

might better see the radiant and tor

trasts are mighty. The artist, in
sketching the field of Waterloo years
after the battle, put a dove in the
mouth of the cannon. Raphael, in

advantage over the steam engine, as its
