BO his life is instinct with interest, and every incident in connection with his unique death is full of suggestion and fraught with lessons of great value to every student of the Bible. Some of these lessons are : 1. The irreversible sequences of hu- man action. It was one sin that shut Moses out of the promised pos- session. At Meribah he :had commit- ted a sin~of passion and presumption. It was only the impulse of a moment and no doubt it had long faded from the memory of Israel, and seams as nothing when placed in the balance against a life of the most exempldry and heroic obedience. Yet at the last he is confronted by it 0!! the very borderâ€"land or the promised in- heritance. There it stands, a weird sentinal, 'with flaming sword, stern- ly forbidding his entrance into Ca.- Remanber, the remission of sin, .as a matter of fact. does not involve the remission of all its consequences. One of the most. solemn facts which confronts us every day is what we may call the irreversible :sequences of human conduct. Flowing from the most trifling action of our lives, there is' a. stream of sequence which â€"great as an emancipator, organiz- er, leader, and legislatorâ€"and, as such, his name can never fade, from the annals of time. Every page of may be modified and diverted, but never entirely arrested or rev‘ezjsed.. Even the Gospel of Divine Omnipo- tence, so {at as we can see, cannot shut of! certain consequences or [my man wrong-doing. The atonement of Christ does not‘dissever the causal tie between a sinful deed and its natural results, becauseflt does apt. undertake to change the nature“. of: things, or cancel the law 'of cause and effect. Just here we find our- “And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the ~,mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah ............ So Moses the servant of the Lord ’ died there in the Tand of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And~ he buried him in a. valley in the iand oi Moab, over against Beth-peor‘; but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day,” etc.â€"Deut. xxxiv.

Let us [embalm the memory of the blessed in ;our hearts, enshrine their virtues in our character, perpetuate their in~ fluence for God in our lives, but let us not allow our griefs to chill every feeling of the heart or paralyze every energy of our life.

Mr. William Winter, in a recent ar- ticle in the New. York Tribunewrote: "Intrinsically, the theatre is an in- teliectUal institution, as .much so as the pulpit or the university. andâ€"as things now standâ€"it is more poten- tial than either of them whether (or. good or evil ....... The best periods in the history of the drama have been those in which it has been amlieted .with the cultured classes 0! intellec- tual societyâ€"for those classes con- tained an influence that. could guide, stimulate and govern its powers, and by the force of ex'ample could- lead theimultitude in their train.

And this, I take info!!! that the intellecu’ial, the mike ious classes of the co munity should unite their influence :1 securing a pure, imaginative and uplifting theatre.
