Many haven‘t ti. I.)._ I was thinking only yesterday of the difference between Aunt thys- tal and you; she says so many kind things and means so little. You think 53 many kind things and say so Illtlt‘.‘ We are close to the turn now. _an(1 the quarries. There's no man in sight, so I expect that child was pretending to be following her father. Would you like to put her outâ€"here on my side? This slope is gradual, and the grass pleasant for her to run on, but on your side it would scarcely be safe for her, even if the quarried parts were not close in front. Will you?" ~ 30. please, for I believe she callld not. stand. I have hard work to holu her up as it is, poor little maid. She has expended the short supply of strength she had.” “'ihcn, now we have had enough of this snail's pace," said Ella. gathering the whole loop of the reins into the grasp of her left hand, and with her long drivingâ€"whip giving two sharp cuts over the cars of her spirited ponies. From her left hand than she tossed the reins forward on their nccks. and from her right flung the Whip after them, and as the madlle-ned ponies clashed away, she sprvnl: from the low carriage to the Bunny slope on her right. There Was a wild consciousness in Berry’s mind now that she had known this was going to happen; ll-l even been expecting it. Look in: straight before her she held little I'enkus close to her, firm and secure longing to save the child, and never guessing that by so doing she would make the child her savior too. ‘ l sz'wr 'im,” Pcnkus whispered, as if she had at last found breath to utter hcr one all-important announce- ment; then with a. wild shriek she struggled to go? away from Derry's encircling arm. With their heads down, and ihe reins criangling their rushing feet. the unguided ponies tore along the narrow: irregular bridleâ€"road on the hill-side. the light carriage reeling. and the quarries now in sight. Derry saw them, as she saw the whole Sci-ire. blurred and indistint, while she sat. quite motionless, her pro~ touting clasp about the terrified child. The turn in the narrow drive had come, when one wheel slipped to the front of the sloping turf above the cutting, and the carriage totter- ed. But it was at that moment that the turn had brought them in sight of a man who had been walking in advance. At a glance he understood the danger. and (coolly, to all seem- ingi crossed to the margin of the turf above the quarried descent. and in that. moment of their greates: peril mastered the runaway ponies. Derry saw all this dimly. confusedly, as in a dream: perfectly conscious of only one thing, her determined hold of the struggling child. When the rescuing figure that had been so blurred and indistinct to her, gath- ered the reins and led the ponies quietly until the road was safe. and thoroughly quieted them there, she thought it was the fisherman who had left Leppard's cottage when she entered it. and she met him with earnest words of thanks upon her lips, and in her eyes a lovely light of gratitude of which she was not conscious. "Give me the child," he said, speaking gruffly as it seemed, with his face. turned away from her. But she had no need to give Penkus, for he took her himself and put her down upon the grass. And he had not turned back to Derry when. her heart filled now only With anxiety for Ella’s safety. she had left the carriage and ran back upon the way the ponies had galloped round that shoulder of the hill. She knew it was not far to the spot where F1111 had syrung out upon the grass. and she felt sure she could recognize it instantly: but before she reached it she stopped, staggering backward. For Ella lay there still. With her hand upon her eyes. Derry fell to her knees beside the unmoved future. and lifted the still face tenderly in her arms. “Did she not saveâ€"herself?” The man who had saved Derry fol- lowed her to the spot. and stood looking down as he asked this ques-- tion. But his voice, though stern,’ hail not now that unnatural grum‘ ness, and Derry looked up at the one whom she had thought a fisherman. 1'll-‘ll all was darkness to her. The: sudden sight of Steven Basset there anl thus. took from her the con- sciousness that her peril had not been all; to drive away. Still, even now it was only momentarily. “Simon." she said; her dazed cycs fastened upon his, "is Ella hurt?" "She has foundâ€"what she meant for you.” “Steven!" it was only the fierce look upon his face. not any meaning she had no,I tachcd to his words, which brought} that cry from her lips. ' “I mean.” he said, his whole ex-1 pression changing at that cry. andI he knelt barcheaded beside the girl he loved. and looked down upon the. face at which she gazed so piteously. for he had read the truth and knew, She had not. “that for whatever hard thoughts I have had of her, I -beg forgiveness of the sister who lovedl her." And as he spoke. he took with reverence the living hand. and the dead one that it clasped, and lifted both to his lips. . “She has fainted. How could Shel have been hurt?” Derry asked, watching the still, pale face and the mute lips. , "I think." he answared very quiet- ly, “that she could not measure dis- tance while the ponies started. and that she fell with her head against a stone. But. perhaps it was not even that. Perhaps it is natural that in such an instant her heart-I must get help.

Dr. ’l‘nlmage preached from the following text: "And as they that bare the ark were come into Jordan, and the feet of the priests were dipped in the brim of the wa- ter, that the waters which came dOWn from above stood and rose up on a. heap very far from the city Adam, and the priests that bare. the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israel- ites passed over on dry ground, un- til all the people were passed clean over Jordan."â€"Joshua iii. 15-17. Not long ago We saw Joshua on a forced march. During that " hour we saw him cross the Jor an. blow down the walls of Jericho, capture the city Ai, demolish five kings, the astronomy of heaven changed to give him time enough to completely whip out. his enelnies. The vanguard of his host, made up of the priests, ad- vanced until they put their foot at the brim of the river, when immedi- ately the streets of Jerusalem were no more dry than the bed of that river. It was as if all the water had been drawn off. and then the damp- ness had been soaked up with a sponge, and then by a towel the road had- been wiped dry. Yonder go the great. army of the Philistines, the hosts in uniform; following them the wives, the children, the flocks, the herds. The people look up at crystal wall of Jericho as they pass, and think what an awful disaster would come to them if, before they got to the oppositebank of tamer- isk and Oleander and willows, that wall should fall upon them, and the thought makes the mothers hug their children closer to their hearts and to swiften their pace. Quick now! Get. them all upon the bunkâ€"armed warriors, wives. children, flocks, herds, and let this wonderful Jor- danic passage be completed forever. Seated this morning, on the shelv- ing of limestone, I look oil upon the Jordan where Joshua crossed under tliumphal march of rainbow woven out of the sprayâ€"the river which af- terwards became the baptistery whore Christ was sprinkled or plunged, the river where the borrow- ed ax-hcad miraculously swam at the propliet's order, the river illustrious in the history of the world for hero- ic faith and omnipotent deliverance. and typical of scenes yet to trans- pire in your life and mine, scenes enough to make us from sole of foot to crown of head to tingle with in- finite gladness. Standing on the scene of that afirighted and fugitive river Jordan. I learn for myself and for you, that obstacles when they are touched, vanish. The text says that when those priests came down struck Jupiter on the head and the with and touched the edge of the water with their feet. THE WATER PARTED. They did not wade in chin deep or waist deep. or knee deep. or ankle deep, but, as soon as their feet touch- ed the water, it vanishedu And it. makes me think that almost all the obstacles of life need only to be ap- proached in order to be conquered. Difficulties touched, vanish. It is the trouble, the difficulty, the obstacle there in the distance that seems so huge and tremendous. The apostles John and Paul seemed to hate cross (logs. The apostle Paul said in Philippians: "Bcware of dogs,” and John seems to shut the gate of heaven against all the canine species when he says : "With- out al'e dogs." But I have been told that when those animals are furious and they come at you, if you will keep your eye on them and advance upon them, they will retreat. So the most of the trials of life that. hound your steps, if you can only get your eye upon them, and keep your eye upon them. and advance upon them, crying: ”Begonc !” will sink and cower. Again: this Jordanic passage. teaches me the completeness of ev- erything that God does. When God put an invisible dam across the Jor-- dan and it halted, it would have been natural, you would_ suppose, for the waters to overflow the re- gion round about, so that. great de- vastation would have taken place. But. when God put. a dam on in front of the river, he put a dam on either side of the river. so according to the text. the waters halted and reared and stood there, not overâ€" flowing the surrounding country. Oh the completeness of everything that God does! One would think if the Water of Jordan had dropped until it was only two or three feet deep that the Israelites might have marched through and have come up on the other bank with soaked and saturated garments, as men come ashore from a shipwreck. and that would have been a Wonderful deliv- erance. So it would. But God does something better than that. One would suppose, if the water had been drawn oil from the Jordan there would have been a bed of mud and slinle through which the army would have to march. Yet here, im- mediately God prepares a. path through the depths of the Jordan. It is so dry the passengers do not even get their feet damp: . Oh, the completeness of everything that God does! Does he make a universe ? 'It is a perfect clock, run- ning ever since it was Wound_up, fixed starsthe pivots, constellations the intermoving wheels, and ponder- ous laws the weight- and swmglng pendulum :~ the stars in the great dome striking midpight, and the sun with brazen tongue tolling the, hour of noon. The slightest comet. has upon it the chain of a law which it cannot break. The thistleâ€"dOWn flyâ€" ing before the schoolboy's breath is controlled by‘ the same law that con- trols the sun and the planets. The rose bush in your Window is govern- ed by the same principle that gov- erns~ the great tree of the universe, on which stars are ripening fruit, ‘. and on which God will one day put‘ my text, and that is: his hand and SHAKE DOWN THE FRUIT. A perfect universe! No astrono- mer has ever proposed an amend- ment. Does God make a Bible, it is a complete Bible. Standing amid its dreadful and delightful truths, you seem to be in the midst of an orchestra, where the wailings over sin and the rejoicings over pardon and the martial strains of victory make a. chorus like the anthem of eternity. This book seems to you an ocean of truth on every wave of which Christ walks sometimes in the darkness of prophecy, sometimes in the splendors with which he walked on Galilee. Again: I learn from this Jordanic passage that between us and every Canaan of success and prosperity, there is a river that must be passed. “Oh, how I should like to have some of those grapes on the other side,” said some of the Israelites to Josh- ua. “Well" said Joshua, “if you want some of those grapes, why don't you cross over and get them?" A river of difficulty between us and everything that, is worth having. That which COStS nothing is worth nothing. God did not intend this world for an easy parlour through which we are to be drawn in a rock- ingâ€"chair, but we are to work our passage. climb masts..iight battles, scale mountains, ford rivers. God makes everything valuable difficult to get at for the same reason that he puts the gold doWn in the mine, and the pearl clear down ill the sea; it is to make us dig and dive for them. We acknowledge this princi- ple in worldly things. Would that we were wise enough to acknowledge it in religious things. You have had scores of illustrations under your own observation, where men have had it just as hard as they could have it, and yet after a while had. it easy. Now the walls of their home blossom with pictures. Car- pets that made foreign looms laugh, embrace their feet. The summer wind lifts the tapestry about the window gorgeous enough for a Sul- tan. The silver on the harness of that. The silver on the harness of that .dancing span is petrified sweat ldrops. That beautiful dress is faded {calico over which God put his hand Iapprovingly. turning it to Turkish 1satin or lndinnrsilk. Those dia- monds are the tears which suffering froze as they fell. Oh, there is a river of difficulty be tween us and every earthly achieve- ment. You know it is so in regard to the acquisition of knowledge. The ancients used to say that Vulcan goddess of Wisdom jumped out, il- lustrating the truth that wisdom comes by hard knocks. And so there is, my friends, a tug, a jostlc. a trial, a push, an anxiety through which every man must go before he comes to worldly success. Now be wise enough to apply the principle ill religion. Eminent Christian charâ€" acter is only attained by Jordanic passage. No man just happens to lget good. Why does that man know [so much about. the Scriptures? lie {was studying the Bible while you ‘werc reading a novel. He was on {fire with the subliniities of the Bible while you were sound asleep. It was by tugging and toiling and pushing ,and running in the Christian life that .110 became so strong. In a hundred iSoll‘crinos, he learned how to light. In a hundred shipwrecks he learned .how to swim. TEARS OVER SIN. Tears over Zion’s desolation: tears 'over the impenitcnt, tears over graves, made a Jordan which that «1110.11 had to pass. Sorrow stains the cheek. and sinks. the eye, and pales the brow and thins the hand. There are mourn- ing garments in every wardrobe. ‘There are deaths in every family re- cord. All around us are the relics of the dead. The Christian has pas- .sed this lied Sea of trouble, and yet he finds that there is the Jordan of ldeath between him and heaven. He Icomes down to the Jordan of death and thinks how many have been lost there. The Christian approaches this raging torrent, and as he nears :it, his breath gets shorter and his last breath leaves him as he steps Iinto the stream; but no sooner has he touched the stream than it. is parted, and he goes through dry shod while all the waters wave their plumes. crying: 0 death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes," and there shall be no more death. When I see the Israelites getting through Jordan and getting up the banks, and I see their [locks and herds following right on after them, the suggestion comes through my mind that perhaps after all, the best part of the brute creation may have a chance in the great future. You say: “Harmonize with that theory the passage, The spirit of the brute goes downward.’ " I can harmonize these tivo great things a grand deal easier than I can harmonize the an- nihilation of the brute creation with the ill-treatment they here receive. I do not know but that in the clear atmosphere of ”that other country, there may be a bird heaven. not know ‘ but that on _th sevf‘air banks, there may be a lily eaven. an amaratlline heaven. When I see a professed Christian man abusing his horse, my common sense of jus-_ tice tells me that, that horse ought to have a better time in the future tlui‘fi‘his driver!

I do not say it is so, but. i should not be offended if I should find at last, that not only all the Is- raelites got through the Jordan but the best part. of the brute creation got in after them.

Those of us who were brought up in the country, remem- ber when the summer Was coming on in our boyhood days, we always longed for the day when we could go barefootcd, and after teasing our mother in regard to it a. good While and she having consented.

And the time will come, when these shoes we wear nowâ€"lest we be cut of the sharp lplaccs of this worldâ€"shall be taken off, and with unsandaled foot, we shall step into the bed of the river. With foot untl'alllmeled from pain and fatigue we shall begin that last journey. When with one foot in the bed of the river, and the other foot on the bank we spring upward, that will be heaven.
