Man has been q long time at thst school,

When the destroying angel was about
to pass through Egypt, no doubt The
naughty Egyptian laughed at the, poor Is.
raslite putting the blood on his door,poSt
land liniel, "What q foolish notion" he
would say, derisiVely "the very idea OIL

we're any trouble coming, thatwou!d mover
keen ii away. ! don't believe there
| ia any death coming at all; and Il
It did, 1t might touch these poor people
but II would certainly never come neal
us" But when the night came, there
was no difference. The king in his pal
ace, the captive in his prison, the bsggS'
by the Wayslde-they wero all sIlEe
Into every house the king OF terrorS nae
come, and there was universal mouTal7l
in the land. In the home OF the poor and
tho lowly, In the homo Of the princes ant
the noble, In tho home oil the governor
and ruler, the eldest son lay derd. Only
tho poor IsrRelte escaped who had tht

when God,Comt TO us in judgment, II WI
arc not 10 Christ, oil will DO alike. Learn
ed or unlearned, high or low, priest o.
scribe-there will be no differences.
II was my sad lot to DO In the OhtCsgt
fire. AS the flames rolled .down. OIL
slreelr destroying everything In their on
ward march, | saw the great and the hon
orsble, tho learned and the wiae, loelnj
before the fire with the hcggar, and thl
| thief, and tho hsrlot. Ali were alike
As the flames swept through the city !
, was like the judgment day. The mayor
nor the mighty men, nor the wise mel
could giop the llalnea. They were all Of
level then, and many who were Wortl
hundreds oi thousands were loft paupcr
that night. When the Jay Of jujgmen
! comes, there will BIO no difference. Whel
the deluge came there was no difference
: Noah's ark was worth more than all W
world. The day before, It was the world
laughirg.stcCg, and il 1t had been put u
to auction, you could not have got any
! body to buy it except for Arewood., Blu
the deluge Came, and then 1t WAS worEl
more than all tho world together. Au'
! when the day OF judgment comes, Chris
will be worth more than all this world
more than ten thousand worlds, And
it was a terrible thing In the days oil NOsl
! 10 die outside the ark, 1t will be far NOR
terrible for Us to so down in our siua TO
Ohratless grave.
