how important the divine Christ thought
the human ear, one time he found a man
that was deaf and he stepped up to him
and putting the right finger in the orifce
| of the mans left ear, the left finger into
| the mans right ear, he agitated the tina
panum OF the bonelets and the nerve of
| hearing, and then uttered a word which
| vibrated clear back to the soul, ephphethd,
"be opened" and the infsmation
of the auricle cooled off or the
atrophy of the tympanum weakened
or the polyphoid growth gave way and the
man that night for the first time in years
heard the wash of the waves OF Gallee
against the limestone shelving. Still

| of the ear when Peter, the apostle, got

the ear of Malchus in the dust, Christ, by
an omnipotent touch, gave him new ex.

ear and the internal ear which the sword
could not clip away. Yea, be will not al

which is to roseate the earth, for be dis

be unstopped." All the vascular growth

ended, all the deformations of the delicate

Are you ready now for the question Of
the text? Have you endurance to bear its
overwhelming suggestion while you take
hold OF some pillar to balance yourself I'M
der its semi OmnipOtent stroke. He that
planned the ear shall he not hear?' Yes;
| il cannot be that the God who fashioned
the ear to gather mp the sounds is himself
incapable of hearing the worship and the
blaspLemy. Feeling it so important to
make us able to hear he cannot be destitute
of the faculty he bestows on others. Doc
tors Wild and Gruber and Tronoe invented
acoumeters and other instruments
for the skillful examination OF the ear, and
shall they not know as much as their in
struments." "He that planted the ear
shall he not hear?" Jupiter Of Crete in
statuary and painting was always repre-:
sented as having no ears, because he could
not be bothered with the small affairs OF
the human race, but our God has ears.
Psalms xxxiv, Is, His ears are open to
their cry" II on SatI.rday night tired
workmen are complaining over the fact
that they have not got their wages, we are
told the Complaint strikes the divine tym.
panum-"The cries OF them which have
reaped are entered the ears Of the Lord Of
Sabbaoth." II man has a prayer to make
God does not sit bolt upright till the prayer
travels through immensity and climbs up
TO his ear. No; the Bible indicates that he
bends clear over. Isaiah says he bows
down his ear. David says he inclines his
ear. BY all OF which take it that he puts
his car close to your lips and catches
Your Faintest whisper.
Not God away off up yonder, but GOd
away down here close by, so close that your
prayer is no more whisper than 1t is a
kiss. "He that planted the ear shall He
not hear" Yes, His ear is so acute that
He hears the captive's sigh and the fall OF
the orphans tear, and the dying syllables
of shipwrecked sailor driven on the skier
ries, and the childs Now lay me down
TO sleep" and the sob of a,penitent as cas-
! ily as the fortiSSimO OF all the brazen bands
at a Dusseldorf festival or the salvo of the

of English troops opened their batteries on

Yea, as sometimes we seem TO carry IN
our ears for days after we heard it an en-.
| trancing strain OF music or a sharp cry OF

hears but holds the songs, the prayers, the
groans the blasphemie., the worship with
power auricular. The phonograph has been

kept, and so accurately kept, that il hun.

| Couraging to all our prayers! What an aw-
| full fright for our wicked utterances. What
| an assurance Of warm hearted sympathy in
| all our griefs, HE that planted the ear
shall he not hear?' Miss no opportunity
of putting that ear under best OF sounds.
Take it away from all gossip and sIande5
| and innuendo and debasing influence OF bad
association and put it 10 school and church
| and philharmonic and take it where 1t can
be blessed by the touch OF Christian hymn
| nology, and resolve that on earth aud in
| heaven il shall be consecrated to him who
planted the ear. Rousseau, the infdet, lay
down to sleep one night among his manu-
scripts piled all around him and he
dreamt and thought he heard
| tse chorus OF heavenly worshippers
enrapture beyond anything ever heard and
| in bis dream he asked an angelic being what
il all meant, and the angel answered:
This Is the paradise OF God and that an
them is the song of the redeemed" Under
another roll Of the celestial music Rousseau
ayoke and rose at midnight TO write down
| the ,yeet strains in the famous music en-.
titled the Song of the Redeemed" God
grant that il may not be an inidel dream
10 us but a glorious reality. When we lay
down to sleep in the nigh. OF death may
| our ear be really wakened by the canticles
of the upper temple and the praises and
! doxologes uncounted Ginning the musical
| Ladder Of that heavenly gamut.
