makeshift. II is the part of wisdom to build
bridges TO Withstand storm and flood to do
our work for all time. This is the way God
works. II is the way He recommends to
man. The business man who is eager TO be
suddenly rich by some gigantic speculation
is not consulting his best interests. Let
him move more slowly, and he shall move
more surely. lie that maketh haste to be
rich" says the wisest man of antiquity,
"shal not be innocent" and considereth
not that poverty shall come upon him."
Those most successful in business are those
whose plans have covered years. The same
is true in all departments of life. The wise
statesman considers not so much immediate
political success, as permanent national ben.
efits The faithful mother looks forward
into the distant future when her children
shall have reached years of maturity and
usefulness, and bears cheerfully the inter
venng drudgery and care. The devoted
minister forms broad plans of labor which
include not simply the startling impressions
of to-day, but the sowing of religious truth
which may be growing in the hearts of his
people for years before it reaches its abun-
dant fruitage. We must take time to ac
compish results. We must work less for
the immediate and transient, and more
for the permanent. Modern artillery is
made TO be fired under the sights of the tel.
escope. A like fashion should prevail in all
departments of activity, secular and re-
ligious we should increase our range, and
take our aim beyond the reach of our un-
aided vision.-Sermon By Rec addison =.

The Water OF Life.

Some men once visited the tombs of
Egypt. They unwrapped the cloth from
mummy and found in its hand some grains
of wheat, which had been put there when it
was first buried, about the time when King
David was living. These men took the
wheat home with them, and it was sown in
the ground some of it in Germany some of
it in England. | suppose they hardly ex-
pected that after lying in darkness in a
tomb, for three thousand years, it would
grow, but it is said that it did spring up
and bore grain Just like all other wheat.
Now, if seeds will lie asleep this way for
hundreds or thousands of years, we may
well ask What is it that at last quickens
them--makes them live and grow again
1t is not the light. Yon can start seeds Just as
well, if not better, in the dark. 1t is not
,carmh. Seeds will sleep in warm place.
1t is not the ground. You can make seeds
terminate without putting them in the
earth. What wakes them up is water. So
long as they are kept dry, the little baby
plant will sleep its quiet nap but you let
the moisture, the wet get TO it, and imme-
diately it begins to stir in its tiny cradle (;
then there peeps out beneath slender
white root which grows downward; then
little green shoot works its way upward,
and the new life is begun. The seed is
born again and is ready to become large
plant. Do you remember the Bible saying
anything about a kind of water which
Christ will give "Whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely Sometimes
it is called Giving water" That is what
Jesus told the women who talked with Him
by the well, that He would have given her
ii she had asked for it. And do you know
what this water of life or living water is
which is spoken of so often in the Bible
1t is the Holy Spirit. When we give our
hearts to Jesus to do as He wants us, that
giving up our ways to His is like the seeds
dying aud then the Holy Spirit comes from
heaven into our hearts, just as the rain falls
on the seed, and then there begins to be a
new kind of life here in the heart. We are
born again, and loving and holy thoughts
and ways begin to spring up and show
themselves, There are great many chill
dren growing up who, if they are going to
bear the blossoms of goodness and piety
will need to have God send the water OF life
the Holy Spirit-down into their young
hearts. God never forgets the children, fol
lie loves them; only we must ask for th'
Spirit, just as all thirsty little seeds and
roots are eager TO drink the rain DO moi
forget to pray for the Spirt.-Rev, F.B.AHen
