I believe tea alma and ubleoba of this Order, represented today, are privai- pally the carrying out of the 00mmand quoted in the text. Our Saviour when on earth had helped the 1001! and needy,"Iia ,yantab0nt doing good' and this Order is emulating the example of Christ, lint 01117 by the ilnnnaitl atd afforded through its sick and relief funds, but by their untiring and solicitous Care of the distrose0d and needy and their offers of assistance and sympathy to thesiok and to the bereaved, Brotherly love and universal p hilantbrapy ale the piliara of the Order, with (Marlty Elm keystone of the olrole, but the feandatio0 upon which elle whole superstructure taste is the tender care of 111e widows and orphans o1 those who have 110051 members of the Order, To give you an idea of the popularity which Shia modern 000loty on+ ber- Me oP 700 In 1581 it has grfrom luallyy increased till iu January of this year the total mem- bership numbered upwards of 080,'03 souls.

Look at the innumerable worlds that inhabit apace, God -might have bald each world iu its place separately and without relation to any other world, but He has chosen to hold all together as ono vast universe, 8t.

Our greabeet happi- ness is never attained by feeling that we eau live quite independently, but by a division of labor, and myth of in in our in- dividual spheres being se muoh as possible Oho servants of our follow men. Indeed out Saviour in giving us this work doesn't make any now law, but gives a higher satiation and appltoattou 10 a law which has Over ex- isted to govern God's people. Ho duds men already dependent on one another, all the more by the entrance of sin, and He takes advantage of this for the training of His people, When wo rimy Bear ye one another's burdens," it is implied that there aro 00000111 burdens which One 0110100100 can bear for another, and witch that other eau bear for him, and which can in, this way, be made light for both. Isnot this one of the prin0lples upon which your popular Order 1s founded ? You are first Christians, then being Chriottaus you aro the better speak of certto ain burdens that aro borne by suffering humanity, which may be lightened by us. lab, there is the burden of want. and only those who have suffered can give any idea of what it means. We have all to be supplied with our daily bread mud while many aro rich that is to my have more than they Load thele are many others who are poor, 111x010 have lass than they need. God might have ordained all to bo Mali and n o poor among Ilio people, yet Ile hart in His infinite wisdom made many who are poor to bo dependent unou their more favored brethren. Our Saviour moo said ' Phe poor pe have always with. yoc1." Wo clarinet look forward to the time when there Will be 00 poor, so that wo certainly ought to make some provision to meet those ex- isting evils. Of course many are poor by oirottmstauces over wbioh they have uo eon - 1101, haying little or nothing doming in and perhaps many mouths to till, they have a roti btutlon on their minds, a burden such as few of us would choose to bear for otr- solves, yet are there nota great many pee- plc to -day who will 1100 make 1150 of the memis afforded them to ley up for a rainy day 4 Ave there not ninny who today are comfortable yet ley aside nothing against the time when they may have no provider y 1 think every wife and mother ought to fool it to their worldly interstate to lay aside 50m011115g.

We are to bear this burden as we may yet be in their case and we should like this same office to be performed for us, and more than that, we aro so olosely related, door friends, that it ought to be as though part of onr. selves were suffering If we leave the true spirit of Christ in us end really be- long bo the body of Chriet, then what a fellow Christian suffers will, as it were vibrate through us. We are to hear this burden in the way of sympathy, and we can make it a practioal sympathy by a visit to the eiok•bod, by a kind enquiry, by a kind act, by a kind express 11 or even by a kind look.

We should cultivate this Divine art so that we may bottoms proficient in it. We should each seek to be a Barnabes,—a son of consolation-- eepecially to the Lord's afflicted ones, mad may our Saviour, by His grace end spirit, so worts in our hearts that we will fuel for those siok and afflicted ones with whom we come in ooutaet. Now I would fail in fulfilling my duty, were I not to make brief mention of the Auxiliary Order of the ladies of the Maccabees also present to day. It is the first Society of women ih the world to organize a bene. fioiary Society, offering life proteotion to women, and the demand for such a So - (tidy has been shown by its remarkable growth.
