They were like the Rebel boildere, who Said us bona 118 a city. Let 110 leak° us a. name lest we he scattered ebroad" (Gen. sd, 4). They are also described in Rom. 1, 21, "When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but be- came Vain in theirimaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."

Ono commentator says that as a first ripe Pg, a dainty morsel, might be swallowed without chewing, so should Ephraim pass from sight, the fading. flower of hie glorious beauty be gone. The tempest of hail and the destroying storm axe men- tioned again in verses 17, 18, "The hail shall sweep away tbe refuge of lies, end the waters shall overflow the hiding place, und your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and. your agreement tvilit hell shall not stand," Coreparce .yerse 35. The warning of chapter ii, 11, 17, stands and will stand "till the kingdom comes, "The lofty loolcs of man shale bo humbled, cold the haughti- ness of men shall he bowed,, down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day." Therefore "Cease ye frora man" (22). Those whom.

What He will be to thein they will else, be to EMI in that day, be- muse of His beauty which will be upon them. He speaks of their righteousness and their glory which the nations . shall SCO and says, "Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lor'll and a. royal diadem in the liana of thy God" (Ise. lxii, 2, 3). This is spoken ef the true Peo- ple of Cod, the roinnant of Israel who will truly trust in Je- hovah. He Himself will be to them a true, 'divine, eternal glory in the eyes of all natioos. It is written, "The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting lightand thy God -thy glory" (Tea, lx, 19. "The glory in 11143 midst" (Zech. ii, 5). 7, 3.

"Elizabeth," she said, sternly, "didn't I hear Mr: Simpley Idas you in the parlor as I came along the hall?" "No, nsamma, you didn't," re- eponded the 'daughter, emphatically. "Well, didn't he try to kiss you?" persisted the mother, "Yes; mamma," demurely. The mother spoke triumphasitly. "I knew it," she said. 'Did you permit -idol to do so?" "No, mamma, I did not. I told him that you had always taught me that, 3 should not permit any young 1111121 to kiss meal" "That was right, that was right, my dear," said the soother, encour- agingly. "Ancl what did he say to that?" The girl blushed, but was undaunt- ed. "Ho ashed mo 1(1 30011 had ever told me I was never to kiss 00300111171 man." The mother began to feel that pos- sibly she had, omitted a vital link in the chain of her instructions. "Mat did yon 4111 111111?" he ask- ed, nervously. "I said 1 didn't renaember that you had." The girl stopped, and the mother broke out urgently, "Well, go on, go on." "I expect that's what you heard, mamma." ' D1DN.'T COME OFF.
