thought every moment we would be dashed
10 pieces, and made a terrible outciy ol
fright, and my father turned TO me WIN Il
face perfectly calm, and said "De
witt, whatare you crying nboutF guess
we can ride az fast az the oxen can run. !"
And my hearers, why should we be az

swift movement Of worldly events, eSpe-
Cially when we are assured that II Is not q
woke of unbroken steers that are drawing
Us on, but that order and wise govern

things arc all mixed and disquleting and
your brain Is hot aud your heart sick, get
some one to 90 out with yon
fSro THE STARLIGHT
and point out TO you the Plciades, or,
better than that, get into some obscrva-
tory and through the telescope see further
than Amos with the naked eye could,
namely, 200 stars In the Pleiades, ana
that IN what is called the sword OF Orior,
there is u nCbula computed TO nc two
trilllon tYo hundred thousand billions OF
times larger than the sun Q, be ut peace
with the God that made all that and con-
trolls all that! the wheel of consultations
turning In the wheel OF galaNes for thou
sands OF years without the breaking OF u
cog or the slipping of band or the snap
Of an axle. For your placidity aud com
fort through the Lord Jesus Christ |
charge you, "Seck Him that maEeth the
seven stars and orion"
Again Amos saw, as we must see, that
the God who made these two groups OF
the text wls the God of light, Amos
saw that God was not satisfied with
making one star or two or three stars,
but he makes seven, and having nnishcd
that group Of worlds makes agother group,
group after group. TO the rcladcs he
adds orion 1t seems that God likes
lSht so well that he keeps making IT,
Only one being in the universe knows
the statistics of solar lunar, stellar,
rhetoric creations, and that Is the Creator
himself. Aud they all have been lovingly
each one n name as distinct

tcllcth the number of the stars; lie cali
eth them all by their names" The seven
Plciades had names given to them, and
they are Alcyonc, Mcropo, Celaeuo, ltIcc-
ira, Sterope, Tuygcte and Mlla. But
think OF the billions mud trilliOns OF
daughters Of starry light that God calls
by names az they sweep by him with
belming brow and lustrous robe SO
fond Is God OF light, natural light, moral
light, spiritual Hight, Again and again
is light harnossed for symbollatou- -

Again Amos saw, rs we must see, that
the God who made these two archiprla-
goes of stars must be nn unChangng
God. There had been no change in the
stellar appearance in this hcrdsmen Is
lifetime, and his father, II shepherd, re-
ported To him that there had been no
change In his lifetime And these two
