The weather during the evenings is
becoming very cool, and the demand
for bed quilts is increasing. During
the daytime, however, the atmosphere
remains quite warm.
On Thursday morning Rev. H. T.
Taylor took charge Of the morning ser
vice. He spoke from Hebrews IL: "a,
26: "By faith Moses, whom he was
come to years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing
rather to suffer Affections with the peo
pie Of God, than to enjoy the pleasures
Of sin for season; esteeming ths re-
proach Of Christ greater riches than the
treasures Of Egypt, for he had respect
unto the recompense Of the reward"
No book displays such divine skill
as does the Bible. We should not
doubt that the Bible is the word OF
God, and yet how many live as II they
did not believe it. In the biographies
OF Gods people, which are recorded in
the Bible, We do not only find there an
account Of their good deeds, but We are
also made acquainted with their sins
and imperfeetions. Those who read
the Bible are familiar with these biog-
raphies. The Israelites were subjected
to Egyptian bondage. Their numbers
we're increasing rapidly, and this great
ly alarmed the Egy ptians, who thought
that they would be outnumbered by
these slaves. The king dscrsed that
all Israelite male children, when they
had attained TO q certain age, should
bs slain. Noses was born, and his pa.
rents saw that he was a proper child
They could not become reconciled 70
the idea that their innocent babe should
be- put to death. The mothers heart
yearnsd for the life Of her child; &c
the babe was placed in a sort OF baske,
and left upon the waves Of the water
AT last the child was found BY one
whom the parents would have feared,
found by Pharaoh's daughter, but God
works in mysterious manner. All
the while the infant had been watched
by his sister Miriam, and as soon as sh'
saw that the child had been discovered
she pressed forward and asked that sh'
might 90 and obtain a nurse to taxi
charge Of the child. Consent was gwen
and she eagerly sought the bahe'
mother, under whose care ne wa
placed. The child was reared in TIN
kings palace as the son Of the king
daughter, as an Egyptian. God wa
with him. The child became Of age
and also heir to the Egyptian throne
but no, the beauties Of the palace dit
not charm him, royal honor attracte'
him not. "He chose rather to suffe
affi lotion with the people of God, thai
to enjoy the pleasures Of sin for a sea
son." How many Of us should we b
placed in like circumstances woul
have the grace to rsfusef' Moses did
He came to deliver the lsraelites froI
Egyptian bondage, and also Christ cam
to deliver a people from Egyptian bond
age, from the bondage Of sin and death
We read of man who was cempar
ion of God, they walked together fo
300 years; they agreed, and mus
, sweet have agreed, and that agreemer
, has never been broken. Enoch va
!, translated, he had the testimony thu
he pleased God. Are we pleasing God
: The nearer we get to God the bette
pleased will He be with us. The speal
er had no sympathy with the ide
which he heard a minister expres
= during his visit to London, that Enoch
translation was equivalent to happ
death.
Moses esteemed the leproacli
g Christ. "Happy are We If we esteee'
: the reproach Of Christ. Daniel esteem
3 ed the reproach of Christ by failing
= obey the law which forbade praying
Q God with the face toward Jerusaler
and when cast into the lions den al
Q gels remained with him during Il
d night. The three IlebreE children
II teemed the reproach of Christ by r
Q fusing to worship an idol. They we
t' cast into fiery furnace, but Chrl
y W as with them and they were unharme
l. 1t pays to serve God. "He that ho
% oreth me him will honor" If We hi
faith like these worthless, then slime
would be saved. Do We suffer any
proach for Christi Notwithstandil
s. that Moses suffered reproach for Chri'
ID he was imperfect, he manifested imp
thence. Not only was he to lead t
children of Israel over the Red sea, b
I. also over Jordan, but owing to his II
patience he was laid aside. "Lay asi
every weight and the sin which doth
easily beset you." . SYLVIA.
