the rights of dumb Animals, lt is a
significant fact that in this early

see that those are enforced. I want
to show you this morning why every
Christian should be in touch with
that society and that its principles

of reversing the role of hunter an

which he skims like some. enormous

dragged from their moorings and
some cases capsized by 'the ocean

the harbor to its former moorings.
These mysterious nights across the
harbor were repeated a number of
times in the presence of hundreds of
aNtonished spectators, who were site
terlsr at a loss to account for the
phenomenon. The migrations ceased
as' auddenly es they begea. Not till
thee did the back and undulating
flukes of en inuriense ocean vampire
appearing above the water of the
harbor, disclose the Motive power
.that caused it all.
One of the curious habitti of- the
fish is to throw semersaulte, state-
tiMee at a, conSiderable distanee be-
neath the surface, sal:oath/1es, at the
etirface, and sometimes in the air
above the ettelece. The Veason for
this Peculiar practice, which is- kePt
up for hours, hos 50 far tm the ,serite
or knowts, never beeit conjectured. At
times the great fish will throw hire -
self bodily perhaps as much as ten
or twelve feet into the air, A Yolleg

Between the last lesson, en Muni]
ity, and this passover leeson we have
enatte,c1 nearly all the eveets of the
last week of Hie life and have come
right up 1.0 1.110 very laet evening be-
fore Ills crucifixion. It seense 6^0 an-
satisfa.ctory to get so little where
there is so much, but this is tree of,
even the c/inalleet portion of Ser
ture, and . we must rely 'upon the
Spirit to give us ell that ITe eees We
cam receive. In a sentersce, let ue
glance at enane of 'the things; we
have passed over—the healing of the
blind ;IS he entered and left jerichse
the 'visit to the house of Veaccheue,
the supper end anointing at Bethany,
the „tsublic entry into Jeru,salem, the.
temple cleansed, the fig tree cueseel,
the poor svidow offering ooinnianded
and many parables and discoursea.
Happy are the believers who' can
find time to meditate much upon
them and -upon all Scripture. The
eventa of our lesson are recorded by
.Mark and Luke as well as by Mat-
thew, am! Lad& mei/. 8, eays thet

"Ceo and prepare us the pose:over
that we,may eat." Then they asked
Him, "Where wilt Thou that we pre-
pare for Thee to eat the pe.seover?"
He sent them into the city. telling
them that a man bearing a pitcher
of water would rneet them, and by
folloeving him they would find the.
house. Then they were to ask the
goodman of the house, and he would
show them a large upper room, fur-
nished and prepared, and. there they
were to make ready. They found as
He heel said and did as He had ap-
pointed them (Mark xiv., 18-16).
There is a word in Prov. M., 5, 6,
'Which hes been a blessing to me for
full forty yeetrs, having taken hold
of ate when twae a yOung man, a
clerk in a stoee. Ito not faii to

(Acts xxvia, 23), who has all ()ere
good works prepared for us to wanes
in and -who will guide us as ourelyi

ties on this occasion, and when Hei
sent them, for the ass' colt (Luke
xix., 80-82). See for your corolore

this one He saicl, "With desire!
t I have desired to -eat, this passej
over with you before 1 suffer; for I
say unto you, I will not anYc
more eat thereof until it be I
fulfilled in the kingdom of God";
(Luke xxii, 15, 16). Thus He points-,
us on to a greater deliverance for Is-!
reel than ever Egypt had witnessed
(Jer. xvi. 34, 15; xxiii, 7, 8). All;
the steps of the great atonement'
whereby Israel should be redeemed,.
the church gathered and the kingdom
of God established on this earth had
been arranged in the eternity past,
in due time unfolded, foretold, lore- _
shadowed to man, and es the cip-
pointee time conies all is ft:Milled,
for `‘the Sci•iptare cannot be broken"'
and "every purpose of the Lord
shall be performed" (3 ohn x, 35;
Jar. ii, 29).
