But now hoW changed! Most of the implements of hus- bandry have boon superseded by modern inventions, but the plow has never lost its reign. it has fur- rowed its way through all the ages. Its victories have been waved by the barley of Palestine, the wheat of Porsia, the flax of Germany, the ricestalks of China, the rich grasses of Italy. It ha,s turned up the mammoth of Siberia, the mastodon of Egypt and the pine groves of Thessaly.

After awhile wagons from the Atlan tic coast come to these forests By day trees are felled, and by night bonfires • keep off Inc wolves.

Under the hammer ' overywnere dwellings have gone up ornate and luxurious. Schoolhouses, lyceums, hospitals and asylums have added additional glory to the enterprise as well, as the beneficence of the people. Vast public works have been con- structed, bridges have been built over rivers and tunnels dug under mountains and churches of matchless beauty have gone up for Rini who had not where to lay His head, and the old theory is exploded that be- cause Christ was born in a manger we must always worship 41m in a barn. Railroads of fabulous length have been conapleteci, over wilich western trains rush past the swift footed deer, making the frightened birds to' dart into the heavens at the cough of the smoke pipes arftl the savage yell of the steam whistle. In hot baste our national inctustry her breath the air of 10,000 fur- naces lier song the voice of uncount- ed factories, her footstep the flash of wheel buckets and the tread of the shaft and the stamp of ,foundries. Talk about antediluvian longevity I think the average of human life is more now than it ever was. 'Through mechanical facilities men work so muc11 faster and accomplish so much more in a lifetime that a man can afford to die now at forty years as well as ono of old at 900. I think the average of human life in point of accomplishment is now equivalent to about BOO years, as near as I can calculate. I11 all our 'occupations and professions we feel the effect of a crippled or ealar,ged mechanical en- terprise. We all have stock in every house that is built and in every pub- lic conveyance that is constructed and in EVERY SHIP THAT IS SAILED. When we see the hard-work>ing men of the laud living in conafortable abodes, with luxuries upon their tables that 'once even kings could not afford, 'having the advanta.ge af thdroUgh education; of accomplish- ment and art, we are all ready at this season to unite, with them in• proise to God for his 'goodness.

THE SUNDAY‘ SCHOOL INTEI-lNATI.ONAL LESSON • DEC. 15., Text of the Lesson, Ex. xii., 1-17; Golden Text 1. Cor. v 7 1, 2. "This inontlf shall be unto y011 the bi.iginiiing of niontlis. 12 shall be tile first monthof the year to you," Thus spake the Lord to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt in connection with the .feast of the, Passover. It was the nionth A ib and the seventh month of their civil year, but became from this time the first mouth of their sa,crod year. It was the national reoemp- non month and the beginning of their existence 7a,s a redeemed people unto God. So with every redeemed soul, the time of its 11CW birth is to it the beginning of days, the time before that being lost, for it is only he that hath the Son who hath life (I, John, v, 12). We begin to live only when we come under the shelter of thatprecious blood. , 3, 4. "Every man, according to his eating, shall make your count for tlae lamb?' A lamb was to be elms - en on the tenth day of that first t month, a lamb for each house unless 0 the household should prove too listle a to eat the lamb; then the next neigh- 1 bor was, to be included as far 00ne- 1 cessary, that each lamb might be Y eaten. When they gathered - the w manilla for their daily food, they did n so on the sande principle—"every man according to his eating, some more, some less" (Ex-. xvi, 16, 17). ft , t for safety does not depend upon assurance; but, being Safe, assuraneo is our privilege, and peace and jey will be ours if we only believe God (Rom, xv, 13). They ate with loins girded, shoes on and sisilf in" nand, ready to depart. So we are taught to be ever ready for, our eXtichia. 14, 15. "Seven days snati ,ye eat unleavened bread,'' Compare with these tWo vcirsee, verses 18-20 and note the repetition ef the statena nI that, whoever should eat' enythinte leavened would be cut off feem 18rael. In Lev. ii, 11, leas-eo WaS forbidden to be offered with any sac- rifice, and in the teilehilig“Of 01113 Lord Jesus repeatedly warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pbarisees and of the Sadducee's of the Herod, In the passage where Christ'is called ''Our Passover" we are exhorted to keep the feast, not with the leaven or malice 'and Wieli- OCIDOSS, but with .1110 unleavened broad of sincerity and truth Cf. to, v, 7, 8). In Lev. vii. 13, 11/1(1 XXIII, 17, there is a ccannaand • to offer leaven, but in each case it was to represent, the evil that was in the offerer. The first was 'a thanks,giving offering arid is explained by Amos iv, 5—"Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving With leaven, for this liketh you , - The other Was tyPical of the, evil that found its way into the gather- ing. of believers at Pentecoet. The passage that is most; • misunderstood and perverted concerning leaven is Math, • xiii, '33, which is.generallY taken to mean that the gospel wiII gradually fill the world whereas in the light of the 'whole discourse in that simpler it plainly teaches that hi this age of the mystery" of the kingdom (verse 11) tho Woman (the church) will corrupt her food till all shall be corrupted. See 11 Tina iii, 1-5; iv. 3, 4, as a comment. 16, 17. "Neamanner of :work shall Pc done in them." This and .similar statements concerning the feasts of the Lord and the holy days oi fettle] seem to me to have their spnatual application set forth hi Hob. 111,,10, with Eph. ii, 8, 9; Rom, iv,, ,P1111, 11, 18, aad similar passages. The redemption of Leraol was wholly of f..4od, as also in our redemption. His work, not ours, gives peace. So also the daily life must be wholly of God. - As we eat' the Lamb, appre- ciate Christ and all tha.t, is His more fully day by day: He will work in us both to will arid to do of His good pleaSurc, working in us that which is well pleasing in His sight, and whatever He xnay accomplish through us we shall glanly confess that dt. has been "not I, but Chtest." "not I. but the grace of God" (Gal- in 20; Cor. xv, 10). God is seek- ing earthen vessels in which Ile may work unhindered all His pleasure. If we are only Willing and yielding', He will do it.
