We are too apt ¢o régard man as a weak, eph- emeral creature, of the utmost insigni- ficanee when compared with a star, 2 moon, a sun--with the material uni- verse. As we direct our attention to the glorious page of heaven unfolded overhead, alive with clustering constel- jations whose bright destinies move at tn infinite altitude above the petty: waves of time, and whose passionless purity and eternal peace seem to. mock the soul, the spontaneous utterance of gur hearts finds expression in the Pealmists words :--"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" As David looked upon the resplend- ent orbs of heaven he was filled with ofound humility and cried out in aw- 1 astonishment :--" t is man?" Modern astronomy has given us a faint co! the magnitude of. space and physical universe. We cannot help feeling that such magnitude and vastness are worthy of a We can- at i boro egg ns our littleness at ons --e infintesimal men crowd- + world--faith staggers at such a oF ught.

But David did -- sap with this exclamation, econd thonght he wisely cuaiiuiied man sv coukt not inferior to the heavens, fon God has made him but little lower the angels; or, as I read in my ebrew text, a little lower than "Elo- im"'--God. So far from being insig- officant in rison with the hea- yvens, man ig infinitely more value then they. The worth of man in these days needs constantly to be empha- eized, for a striking tendency of mod- ern thought is to think less of man in Rroportion as larger views are taken erse in which man dwells. abn ts is the eatest and eablest work de teat as = or " creation 5 berg 8 glory pa vast in conception, so tion, so wonderful im fray in execution, should ought for every one of old Roman conception of is as we rise in aie 'urd scale a creation, inating in that being who, made - little yee than the angels, bearing image and superscription of God, aa yy highest pinnacle of crea- tion. .

But, you say, it is difficult to ge some men, for they daily violate the most sacred laws, betray the peel trusts, abuse our confidence rove recreant to the most binding re iteeat obligations. Such cases, however, are the exception and not the rule. The great majority of men are honest and true; they stand uncor- rupted, unimpeached and incorruptible.
