The rabbinical writer's allude TO thlS
RESIGNATION of antlers by the stag, When

the stag's horns; and proverb IN tne

deer shed her horns. My brother, quiz

WHY, do you know that the finer dee
and the more elegant its proportions
and the more beautiful its bearing, tn
more anxious the hunters and the hound
are to capture it. Had that roebucK

obliterated eye and limping gait tn
hunters would have said: "Pshaw! don
let us waste our ammunition on slci

T So if there were no noble stuff IN you

fact that the pack is in full cry after yo

Highest compliment is it your talent o
your virtue, or your usefulness. You vii
be assailed in proportion to your grea
achievements. The best and the mighties
being the world ever saw, had set afte
Him all the hounds terrestrial and dia
bolic, and they Tapped His blood after tn
Calvarean massacre. The world pal
nothing to its Redeemer but a brandt
and cross. Many who have done thei
best to make the world better have ha
such q rough time Of it that all thei
pleasure is in anticipation of the mex
world, and they could express their ow

| All but at rest on shore,
| Say, would you plunge once more,

If you might would you now
| Retrace your way?
Wander through stormy wilds,
Faint and astray?
Nights gloomy watches fled,
Morning all beaming red,
Hopes smile around us shed,

Yes, for some peole in this world ther

$500 per year to her master of buck
hounds. But all of them put together dc

to hunt down, the great kennel of hounds
of which Sin and Trouble are owner anC
master.
But what is q relief for all those pur
suits of trouble and annoyance, and pain
and bereavement? My text gives it to yol
