Mon by Rev. )frank lis Witt Tril-
11;:g.0„. On the text ECCIetdaStee xile
5,, "The grasshopper shall be a bur -
A unique text, capable of welly tilt-
terent interpretations, Some suppose
the Solely:into "burden" of the grass-
hopper,: or, more) etrictly speaking,
of the eastern locust, refers to the
nagging pains of the chronic dyspep-
tic,. The locusts, properly cooke'd,
were edible. They constituted one Of
the.most delicate of foods. They were
often serlted to invalids and to those
Whose weak stomachs were unable to
arisiMilate any other kind: of diet.
Thus some commentators assert that
the -figure of the' teXt . Is that of an
old. man lauttorted with pain bet twee
his digestive organs have given out.
The dinner of locustswhich he has
eaten instead . of being transformed
into blood and bone and nerve and
nxtisCle Is lying like a jump of lead
within hint. Others assert that, the
text is the figure of an aged man
whets° 'emaciated body,with its
shrivelled lirabs and curved back-
bone, has taken upon itself the form
of e lean.grassnopper. Thus Tithonus
in his old age was suppcieedto have
been changed int& this ehii•ning . in-
sect beeariee the Greekgods who had
promised hint -immortality Upon
earth had refused to endow him with
eternal - yeti tie, , . .
But, though Many- interpretations
are offered t� explain the meaning of
my telt, there is one simple inter-
pretation which, I believe, will ap-
peal to the common sense :of all.
Solomon Used the figure of. the Chirp-
ing grasshopper to illustrate the fact,
that if we do -not.have. the grace of
God. in .our•hearti there will einue .a
time when the little a.ntioyantes Of

when an -array is invading a foreign
