'darkened.' Solomon next says, NOR the
clouds return after the rain.' Do you not
remember the heavy shower last week
You watched till it was over; because you
expected to ride. Atlast it all cleared away
pleasantly. But when the carriage was at
the door, the clouds came back, and it rain
ed again. So with old people like grand
mama as soon as they are free from pain,
another comes on. They cannot expect to
be free from trial and suffering so long as
they live, and their sorrows and pains are
like: a continual dropping on very rainy
day."
"How plain you make it seem, father"
said Edward.
"Yes. papa," said little HELEN, "you
haven't told brother George about the grass
hopper yet"
"All in due time, my daughter. Solo
mon next draws his illustration from the
situation Of q besieged city. | think,
Edward, that you cannot have forgotten the
interesting account of the destruction of
Jerusalem. 1t was at the time that Titus
was emperor, that the Romans determined
on its conquest. They rejected all his offers
ofpeace, entered the city,torcedall the houses,
destroyed all the provisions ina most horrible
mannerputthe wretched inhabitants to cruel
death. Famine ragged in the city, and was fol-
lowed by byamostdestructive pestilence. Then
indeed did the keepers ofthe house rembIe,
for they were exposed to ruin, and the strong
men bowed themselves, for they were weak
and powerless. The grinders-in which
corn was prepared for the sustenance OF the
people, ceased, for the blight of heaven had
come upon their whitening fields. And those
that looked out Of the window, felt that the
hand of the destroying angel was there, and
their spirits were darkcned. The doors
were shut in their streets. Wearsome
nights were appointed to them, and when it
was morning they arose at the voice OF the
bird. Music had long ceased among them,
ard the voice Of gladness was no more
heard in their streets. A horrid massacre
closed the scene, and upwards of one mil
lion, four hundred thousand Jews perlshed.
Do you not see the force ofthe illustration
Thus with aged people. Allresources have
failed them, and they are in the desolate
situation of a besieged city."-S.S. Visitor.
