VALUE OF SLEEP.
Hints to Young Men ON u Vital Subject
from DIR. COllJer.

from DIR. CollJer.
Nothing is more disregarded by many
young men of to-day than the necessity
of seasonable sleep; yet nothing is more
essential to good health and long life.
Robert Collyer, in his "Talks to Young
Men," devotes an exceedingly interest
ing chapter to the subject, and the fol-
lowing are his closing remarks:
Now. let me draw few simple les
sons from this truth l have tried to
open. You, young men. must remem-
Der that one grand factor in your well
being and well doing will lie in good
sound sleep. You may think it does
not matter; take my word for 1.-THE
word of man who has had to walk
through rugged ways to his three-score
years and thrce--that it does matter q
great deal.
Your sleep is the hidden treasure OF
your youth to-day. and tomorrow it
will be the margin you will have to
draw on for your age. Do you think
you can racket round into the small
hours, snatch a brief repose, and then
be just rs good as ever to hold and
bind? it is not true. Many young
man sells his birthrightin this way, and
can not have it back again, though he
seek it with many tears. Take your
honest eight hours sleep, if you may;
there is life in it and grace. 1t is one
of the good angels which will save you
from the temptation to drink, give you
an even mind, brighten all your powers,
and do many things for you no other
power can do.
So when you get farther on. and are
in the thick Of the worlds business. do
not forget what virtue lies in this good
habit. You may make more money by
sitting up nights, but the chances arc
you will not keep it; carve out good
business. and then have to quit; or
grow eminent in your profession, and
then break down. Good fortune turns
greatly on good habits. and this is one
of the best. We can so just SO far and
then we have to fall back on Nature
and on God for new power. But if we
say, 81 will work double tides" and SO
get fevered and out of tune with the
true laws of success in life, then the
day comes when our power turns to
something like paralysis. Your true
business or professional man is tho man
who rises well rested, with cool. clear
brain and steady nerve-the man who
can shake of business after business
hours, go to sleep like yearling child,
and rise like the sun, rejoicing as a
strong man to run race.
And it is great mistake In good men
to say this isa shameful waste Of time.
when it may be and so often is the best
possible use of time; or that We should
be at our work or our prayers, while
still we need this on which the worth
OF tho work or the prayer is to turn.
say, that to sleep one hour more ia
such case Is better than either to
labor or pray, and may bring us nearer
both to God and nan. r. Voice.

Almost daily there may be seen upon our
streets at some public corner, or in some gro
Gerry store, whose accommodating owner has
madO room for him, one of these amusing
street fallirs, with an open-mouthed crowd
about him, attracted by his glib-told stories or
by his sleight-oi-hand performances, which
are given preliminary to an attempt to sell
some qUack medicine or other patent huubug.

III.-The Amounting Oil.

Having erected the tabernacle, placed its
furniture, and built the court and placed
therein the altar and laver, the next in order
was to take the amounting OIL and anoint the
tabernacle and all that was therein, and the
altar and all his vessels and brazen LAYER, and
his foot. All was TO be holy unto the Lord,
and, therefore, everything was hallowed by
the oil. This oil was of peculiar compound
(Ex. NIX, 1888. 1t was very precious, and
very sweet in its perfumes it was made by
receipt handed down from God himself, was
forbidden 10 be compounded or used except for
the sole purpose of holy amounting oil for the
tabernacle and the priests, and a portion of it
was laid up before the ark of testimony. 1t
undoubtedly sets forth TO us, in type, the Holy
Spirit and his work. Here we see how the
blood OF the offerings and the oil for amounting
went, as ii were, hand in hand. Just as in the
present dispensation, the work Of Christ for
atonement and the work of the Holy Ghost for
Sanctihcation and endowment with power go
together Jesus, when he entered upon his
work OF public ministry was anointed by the
Holy Ghost and wrought all his work in that

1.-THE Court.

Thou shalt set up the court round about,
and hang up the hanging at the court gate,'
Round about the tabernacle there was a court
or open space, enclosed by curtain of linen,
or possibly open work, suspended from sixty
pillars, which were placed in sockets and held
in place by cords attached to the capitals of the
pillars and made secure by tent-pins made of
brass, driven into the ground ON either SIDE
This court was one hundred cubits by fifty, or
one hundred and fifty feet long by fifty feet in
width. (For full description, see Ex. xvii,
9-1S). A curtain of superior needlework was
suspended from the pillars in front of the
court, corresponding with the door to the taber-
nacle. Within this court was placed: (a) The
altar of burnt offering. Not Immediately
before the door, but in line with the door; for
between this altar and the door was the ''brazen
laver'' Tvs. y. This altar was made of wood,
covered with plates of brass, having hooks
called horns at each corner, probably to denote
strength. they were sometimes used for Sc
curing victims, previous to sacrificing them.
(See Elk. xvii, 1-8; Lev viii, 49, 1t was "to
make reconciliation upon," that is, between
God and his offending people. 1t fittingly sets
forth TO us the work of our Lord on the cross
(Col. i, 20-22). This altar was the central point
of service in connection with the tabernacle.
More Importance is attached to it than to any
other. 1t was the altar prominently. No
one could pass into the tabernacle except he
first passed this altar. 1t stood guard, as it
were, not only over the tabernacle, but espe-
cially over the Most Holy Place (Ex. xxx. 81
Matt. xiii, 49,. 1t was the place of transfer
ence OF the guilt of the people from themselves
to their offerings, whilo the virtue and excel
lence of the offerings were imputed to them.
We turn from this brazen altar to Christ him
self, "who is his only altar" and sing with our
hymnist:

(b) The laver of brass. This was placed
between the altar and the tabernacle. 1t was
used TO hold water, wherewith the priests
washed their hands and feet before entering
the tabernacle. The neglect of this duty was
visited with the penalty of death (Ex. xxx,
1920. The spiritual significance of this is
SEEM no doubt, in the cleansing work of the
Holy Ghost in connection with the sacrifcial
work of Christ (Eph. V, 25-27; Tit. iii, 5-t).

but we must be born again and sanctified 10y

1.-The Tabernacle.

The portion of Scripture assigned to us for
study does not describe the tabernacle; it only
gives us in very brief account the order of
Moses to set it up, place the furniture within
it and consecrate the priests for the service,
both Aaron, the high priest and the inferior
priests, his sons. For the minute details of the
construction of the tabernacle in all its several
parts, we must refer our readers to the pre-
ceding chapters, and to those other portions Of
the books of Moses to which any reference
Bible will point them. The most, and the best
we can do in our space, is to give an outline of
the wonderful and beautiful tent with its con-
tents and service and its typical significance.
After which we shall point out some significant
lessons.
