It is hard from n, hu-l: .mnn standpoint to refrain from? 'flinging a stone at the locusts oil: cvii naggings which are buzzing about you and your loved ones. But. a {by the grace of God you can live ,. l . down these petty annoyances. You: lean go on doing your work, even as Christ went on doing his Work, in Aspite of i lTIIE JEERS AND THE SCOFFSl1 fwhich the Pharisees uttered against}; . him and his disciples. if you arei 'fibsorbed in your Divine Master'sii 'iwork, you will receive sufficient grace 1. *gto make you" indifferent to the littlei 'innnoyunces caused by what people‘ immy say against you. , 1! When the faculties begin to fail >;and the hair to whiten, the burden -?of the locusts become very-heavy to ' lbear unless a man as a‘Christinn is -';w:t!l<ing side by side with Christ. iEV‘en the Christian will find this ' :burdcn a, heavy burden unless he has ‘~' inn extra amount of divine grace 'lgiven to him. It is not. a hard ’ istruggle to physically (lie. Dying 3 gis just as nutural an act for the :1 body as is the act of being born. But‘ it is hard to grow old, to feel that you have to ride when once it, was ii an exhilaration to walk, to know g that the mind is failing. that the} u heart has not the old vigor, that‘ n the hand which once grasped and :r wielded the hilt of a SWOrd must 0 anW don the small chores around the as old homestead. It is hard to know that upon the trembling shoulders d of old age. even the weight of {t d small grusshoppel"s body can hecmnc i- a burden, u. heavy, crushing burden. IS Yes, my friends, amid the decaying 3- faculties of old age the grace of the L0 Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient to :1- overcome the burden of the buzzing 1e locusts. What was the testimony of ( l the aged. Thomas Guthrie, the great| Christian warrior of old Scotland?! Standing, before a large assemblage" of little children, he said: “Don't; call me an old man,- as some people do. Why, I am as young and hapâ€" py as any child sitting before me to- day. My limbs may not be as strong as they once Were. One of my feet may be in the grave, but ;the other foot. is planted upon the earth so firmly that its leg has sunken knee deep in'the clover tops. My hearing may not be as accurate as it once Was, but, my ears are conâ€" tinually hearing the sounds of lsweetest music. My eye may ‘not be as keen to read a. book, but my ‘eyes'ight is continually becoming smore inspired to see the beauties of 'earth as well the beauties of heaven. 1 am not an old man. As I up- pronch my second childhood I have begun to live a life of eternal hap- piness and of never ending joys." Study the faces. the beautiful happy faces, of the aged Christian men and women about, and you will chm as never before that, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, is suflici- ent. even amid the decaying physfiwl and mental faculties, to lift the bur- den of the buzzing locust. This burden of the locust is a very practical theme. The text teaches that though the gospel of Jesus Christ is a, good religion to die by, yet it is just as good a religion to live by. 1t means yhat we should talke‘Christ with us to sing the lul- laby to the baby and to get the‘ early breakfast. lt means that we should take Christ with 1:5 to help harness up the horse and. shuck the ‘corn. It, means that we Should ask ‘Clu'ist to go into partnership with lus in business and not have him be in silent partner either. It simply means we should have Christ as a practical helpnmte during the. week lday as well 518 a Sabbath companion 01] Butterâ€"The market is steady. Choice grades lune the best call.
