Beautiful Figure.

Rev. Mr.. Barnes, in his sermon on "Life
at Three Score" illustrates the magnitude of
eternal things as he approaches the end Of
life, compared with those which ordinarily
occupy the attention of mankind, by the fol-
lowing beautiful figure:
"The earth as il moves in it's orbit from
year to year, maintains its distance Of ninety
five millions of miles from the sun; and the
sun, except when seen through a hazy at
mosphcre, at its rising or its setting, seems
at all times to be Of the same magnitude
to human view, an object always small, as
compared with our own world. But suppose
the earth should leave its orbit. and make its
way in direct line towards the sun. How
soon would the sun seem TO enlarge its di-
mcnsions! How vast and bright would it
become! How soon would it fill the whole
field of vision, and all on the earth dwindle
to nothing So human life now appears to
me. I'm earlier years, eternity appeared dis
tant and small in Importance. But at the
period Of life which have now reached, IL
seems to mo as if the earth had left the orbit
Of IFS annual movements, and was making a
rapid and direct Hight to the sun. The OBJ
jects of eternity, towards which am NOV
ing, rapidly enlarge themselves. They have
become overpoweringly bright and grand
They fill the whole field of vision, and the
earth, with all which is the common object OF
human ambition and pursuit, is vanishing
away"
