L~astly-and coming to this point my mind
almost breaks down under the eontempias
tion-ifke the stars, all Christian workers
shall shine in duration. The same stars that
look down upon us looked down upon the
Chalfean shepherds. The meteor that l
saw flashing across the sky the other night,

birthplace, it has ever since been wandering

the world would treat him. When Adam
awoke in the garden In the cool Of the day
he saw coming out through the dusk Of the
evening the same worlds that greeted us on
our way to church tonight

night was the light by which the ships OF
Tarshisb were guided across the Mediterra-
mean and the Venetian flotiIia found It's way
into Lepanto. Their armor is as bright to-
night, as when in ancient battle, the stars In
their courses fought against Sisera. To the
a~ncients the stars were symbols Of eternity.
But here the figure OF my text breaks down
not in defeat, but In the majesties Of the
judgment. The stars shall not shine forever.
The Bible says they shall fall like autumnal
leaves. It IS almost impossible for a man TO
take in q courser going a mile IN three min
utes; but God shall take in the worlds,
flying a hundred thousand miles an hour, by
one pull Of his little finger. AS when the

ing speed. shall by the touch OF Gods hand
slip the band OF present law and slacken and

worlds are dead. But the Christian work.
