could; namely 200 stars in the Pieiades,
anu that In what 10 called the sword OF

fort through the Lord Jeaus Christ l
charge you, "Ssek Him That maketh
the seven Stars and Orion"
Again Amos saw, rs we must zee,
that the God who made these two
groups or the text was the
Gou or light. Amos saw
that God was not satisfied with
making one star, or two or three Etafs,
put no makes seven, and having fn-
ished that group OF worlds makes an
9Lhsr group, group after group. To the
Pieiades hs adds Orion. IL seems That
God likes light 30 we'll that no kesps
making It. Ouly one being in the uni-
versa knows the statistics OF solar, lu-
mar, stellar, meteorio creations, and
lhst IL the Creator himself. And
THEY HAVE ALL BsBN LOVINGLY
cHRIsrENED,
each ono name az distinct as the
names OF your children. "Hs telleth
tho number OF the stSrs; he callota
thom all by their names" The seven
pleisdes had names given 10 them, and
they are Alcyons, Morope, Col@no,
Electra, b'orope, Iaygct snd MsiB.
But think OF the billions and triilions
Of daus shters ot starry light that God
calls by name as they sweep by HIM
with be ming brow and lustrous rope,
go fond is God Of light, natural light,
moral light, spiritual light. Again aud
again ia light harnossod for sy IN bolizs A.

righteousness rising with healing in
his wiDgs. o! mtn and women with
40 many sorrows and sins and parplsx-
tiles, II you want light OF colniort,
lighL OF pardon, light OF goodness, IN
earnest prayer through Christ, "esek

Orion"
Again Amos saw, VS. We must see,
thst the God who made these two
archipelag0es OF stars must be- an nm
changing God. There hsd been no
change IN tho stellar appearance in
this herdsmsn's lifetime, and his f.-
Their, q shepherd, reported TO him
that there bad been no change
in hls lifetime. And these
two clusters hang over the celestial ar
