OF GODS word Is one long chain OF bright
refreshing lakes; each promise lake, a very
snort carry between them, ana though for
ages the pursued have been drinking out of
them, they are full up TO the TOD of The green
banks, and the same David describes them
and they seem so near together that in three
Inereut places he speaks OF them as a con-
tnuOus river, saying; t'Ihere is q river the
streams whereof sha make glad the city of
GOD; Though shalt make Them drink of

enrlchest it with the river of God which is
full of water"
But many of you have turned your back on
the supply, and confront your trouble, and
You are sOured with yOur circumstances, and
YOU are ngutlng society, and you are fighting
a pursuing world, and troubles instead OF
driving YOU into the cool lake of heavenly
comfort, have made you stop and turn
round and lower your head, and &c is
simply autier against tooth. do not blame
YOU ErODdDlY under The same circumstances
would have done worse. But YOU are all
wrong. You need 70 do as the reindeer does
IN February and March-it sheds its horns.
The Rabbinical writers allude to this resigna-
ton OF antlers by the stag when they say of
man who ventura his money In risky en-
terDrlses, he has hung it on the stag's horns:
and a prOVcrO in the far East tells a man who
has fOOlishlY lost bis fortune TO go a.G find
where the deer shed her horns. My brother,
Quit the antagonism of your circumstances,
quit misanthrOpY quit complaint quit pitch
INTO your pursuers be as wise as Xt spring,
VIII be all the reindeer of the AdirOudacSs,
Shed your horns.
But very many Of YOU who are wronped of
the wOrld-aud if in any assembly between
SANDY Hook, New York and Golden Gate,
San Francisco, lt were asked that all those
that had been sometimes badly treated
SHOulu raise OOtn their hands and full re-
spouse should be made there would be twice
as many hands lifted as persons present
S'y many Of you would declare: I'VE have al
WAYS done the best we could ana tried to be
useful, and why we should become the vic
tins OF maligument, or InValidism, or mishap
Is lnscrutaole" Why do You not know that
the nner deer, and the more elegant
It's proportions, and the more beautiful its
bearing, the more anxious the hunterS and
the hounds are to capture It Had that roe

Crs would have said: ''PshaWl don't let rs
waste our ammunition a sick deer" And
the hounds would have given a few
sniM5 of the track, and then darted
OFF in another direction for better
game. But when they see a deer with antler5
lifted In mighty challenge 10 earth and sky
and the sleek hide looks as if it had been
smOOthed by invisible hands, and the tat
sides enclose the richest pasture that could
be nibbled from the bank of rllls so clear
they seem TO have dropped out Of heaven
and the stamp OF its foot defies the Jack
shooting lantern and the rife the horn, and
the hound, that deer they will have If they
must needs break their neck in the rapids.
So if there were no noble stuff in your make
up, II you were a bifurcated nothing if you
were a fOrlOru failure, YOU would be allowed
to 90 undisturbed; but the fact that the
whole pack is in full cry after you is proof
positive That you are splendid game and
worth capturing. Therefore sarcasm draws
on you its FINEST bead.' Therefore the
world goes cunning for you with its best
MAYNARD breech- loader. Highest cOmDlf-
ment is it to your talent, or your virtue, or
your usefulness. You will be assailed in pro-
portion to your great achievements The

Yes; for some people in this world there
seems no let up. They are pursued from
youth to manhood, and from manhood into
old age. Very distinguished are Lord Stat
ford's hounds, and Earl Of YarborOugh's
hounds, and the Duke Of Ruuand's hounds,
and Queen Victoria pays eight thousand, five
hundred dollars per year to her master of
buckhOunds. But ali OF them put together
do not equal In number, or speed, or power to
hunt down, the great kennel Of hounds Of
which Sin and Trouble are owner and master.
