iin Oriental lands a well of water is
a fortune, If a king dug one, he be-
came as famous as though be had bailt
a pyramid cr conquered a province.
Great battles Were fought for the con-
quest oar defence of.sueh wells of wa-
ter; castle and towers were erected to
secure permanent possession of thein.
The traveller to -day finds the well of
Jacob dug one hundred feat through.
a solid rock of limestone. These ancient
wells of water were surrounded by
walls of rock. This wall of rook was
covered up with a great slab. In the
centre of the slab there was a hole
through which the leathern bottle or
earthen jar was let down, This open-
ing was covered by a stone. When
Jacob, a young man of seventy years,
was courting Rachel, he won her fav-
our, the Bible says, by removing the
stone from the opening of the well.
He liked Ozer because she was industri-
ous enough to come down and water
tbo camels. She liked him beoause he
was clever enough, to lay hold and give
a lift to one who needed it,
Zt• was oonsidered one of the great-
est calamities that could happen ana-
tion when these wells of water were
stagged. Isaac, you see in the text,
found out that the wells of water,
that had been dug out by his father
Abraham at great expense and care,
had been filled up by the spiteful Phil-
istines. Immediately lsana orders them
all opened again. 1 see the spades
plunging, and the earth tossing, and
the water starting, until the old wells
aro entirely restored; and the oattle
come down to the trough and thrust
their nostrils into the Muter, their bod-
ies quacking at every swallow, until
they lift tip their heads and 'look
around and take a long breath, the
wafer from the sides of their mouths
dripping in sparkles down into the
trough. I never tasted such water in
my life es in my boyhood, I drank out
et the.mos,s covered bucket that swung
up on the chains of the old well --sweep;
and I think when Isaac leaned over
the curb of these restored wells, he
felt within himself that it was abe✓-
erage worthy of God's brewing. He
was very careful to call all the wells
by the same names wbioh his father
ivad called them by ; and if this well
was called, " The well in the Valley,"
or " The well by the hock," or " Tho
well of Bubbles," lsaao baptized it with
the same nomenclature.
You have noticed, my Christian
friends, that many of the old Gospel
wells that our fathers dug have been
filled up by modern Philistines. They
have thrown in their scepticisms and
their philosophies, until the well is al-
most filled up, and it is nigb impossible
to get one drop of the clear water,
Thew men tell us that you ought to
put the .Bible an the same shelf with
the Koran and the old Persian menu -
scripts, and to read it with the same
spirit ; and there is not a day but
somebody comes along and drops a
brick or a stone, or a carcase in this
old Gospel well. We are told that all
the world wants is development, for-
getful of the fact that without the
Gospel the world alwaye develops down-
. ward, and that if you should take the
religion of Christ out of this world, in
one hundred years it would develop
into the ".Five Points" of the universe.
Yet there are a great many Mau and
there are a great manyrostrums
whose whole work it is to fill tap these
Ch faction wells.
You will not think it strange then.

Confucius and Zeno, but which smart
men in our day unwrap from their

ing him up from the deptbs of min and
darkness into the glorious life of the
Gospel. Do you know why more men
do not come to Christ ? It is because
men are not invited that they do not
come. You get a general invitation
from your friend: Come round some
time to my bowie and cline with me," j
You do not go. twat he says, "Come
around to -day at four' °Week, and'

and men iia not. come because they are
not sped illy ineiced. It is because
you do not take holt! of them and say,
"My brother, come to Christ ; come
now—come now 1" How was it that in
the clays of Daniel BOW, and Truman'
Osborne, and Nettleton, so many thou-
sands came to Jesus? Because those
good men did nothing else but invite
them to come. They spent their life -
Lime in uttering invitations, and they
did not mince matters either?; Where
did John Bunyan's pilgrim start from?
Did he start from some easy, quiet,
cosy place? No; if you have read John
Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," you
know where he started from, and that
was the City of destruction, where ev-
ery sinner alerts from. Do you know
what Livingstone. the Seotrh minister,
was preaching about in Scotland when.
three hundred souls under one sermon
came to Christ ? He was preaching'
about the human heart as unclean,
and hard, and stony. Do you know
what George Whitfield was preaching,
about in his first sermon, when fifteen 1
souls saw the salvation of God? It was.
this: "ye must be born again." Do
you know what is the last subject he
ever preached upon? "Flee the wrath'
to come." fat I that the Lord God
would come into our pulpits and pray-
er meetings, and Christian circles, and
bring us from our rhetoric and pro-
found metaphysics, and our elegant
hair -.splitting, to the oldfashioned well
of Gospel invitation. There are enough
sinners in tbis house this morning, if
they should come to God, to make joy
enough in heaven lei keep jubilee a
thousand years. Why not come? Havel
you never had a special invitation to

You, come now to Jesus! why do you
try to "cover up that cancer with a
piece of court -plaster, when Christ, the
Surgeon, with his scalpel, would take
it all away, and it would never come
again? Do you know that your nature
is all wrong unless it has been chang-
ed by the grace of God ? Do you not

Now, bring your shovels and your
pickaxes, and we will try to open an' -
other well. I oall it the well of Chris-
tian comfort. You have noticed that
there are a good many new ways of
comforting. Your father dies. Your
neighbour comes in, and he says, "It
is only a natural law that your father
should die. The machinery is merely
worn out;" and before he leaves you,
he makes some other excellent remarks
about the coagulation of blood, and the
difference between the respiratory and
nitrogenized food. Your cbild dies,
and your philosophic neighbour comes,
and for your soothing tells you that
it was impossible the child should live
with such a stets of mucous mem-
brane! Outl with your chemistry and
physiology when I have trouble, and
give me a plain New Testament) I
would rather have an illiterate man
from the backwoods who knows Christ,

!s gone, it is only because Jesus has
folded it in his arms, and that the
Judgment -day will explain things that
are now inexplicit1de. Ohl let us dig
out this old Gospel wall of comfort.
Take away the stoicism and fatality

fill it, Drive up the great herd of

WHAT HUMPS U5.
Ordinary articles or consumption
have a bad effect upon the body if
uses to excess. Not a few men have
bad their eyesight permanently affect-
ed by smoking too much, and the deaf-
ness of a very noted man of letters is
to be traced to the foot that he had
been for years a tea drunkard. That
snuff may produce paralysis is vve11-
Icnown, but it seems almost incredible
that a man may go mad through con-
suming too many eggs. Nevertheless,
there Ls no doubt that to eat too many
of them produces a kind of nervous
excitement which may lead even to
murder. Too much beef for a weak -
brained boy tends to make him an
idiot, and the number of men wbose
mental vigor has been snapped by con-
stantly drinking strong coffee is ex-
traordinary.

THE WHEAT YIELD AND THE PHOS-
PHATE BASE
"The Leamington Courier" in an
agricultural article in the issue of the
2711 August, this year, headed "The
Wheat Yield and the Phosphate Base,"
after disco sin; at considerable length
the necessity of bone strength in Um
straw as well as in the grain to give
the crop stamina to withstand boister-
ous weather, eays:—" We have repeat-
acly culled attention to this, and laid
down the law, that egotist phosphatic
heart is the founclation of all agricul-
thre. We have bail the opportunity of
examining very many fields, and have
in every instance found, that the
lodged crops were defective." They
then refer to a entire•ble 3,1101:oratioa
of their theory in the Plestow Farm,
Birford, where mfr. E. L. Ireland Bly-
the had phosph•tted loamy rfthe fields
with Alberts' Thomas -Phosphate POW -
der, with the result that the wheat
was of most excellent quality, and:—
"This erop is five feet high, not a
patch being beaten down by the ter-
rific storms it has lately been sub-
jected to. illi'. Blythe has so convinc-
ed himself of the merits of this ma-
nure, that he is increasing his applica-
tions of it all over his farm, both on
grass lands and arable. On Monday
we ware at Bearley and Mx. Joseph
Hawkes informed us that he was going
to use it m1 his grass this autumn, and
one always concludes that when we
have him on our side we are not very
far wrong."
