 Morning.
 Scarce ever have we had more beautiful
 Summer day than this. We meet, however.
 in the presence of startling Providence, and
 some of us under the shadow of great be-
 reavement.
 refer of course to the fearful railroad
 accident of yesterday afternoon near our
 city. call it Providence, becapse per-
 mitted by Him who holds the winds and
 all the forces of nature in the hallow of his hand; and bereavement because, however. firm and restful our faith in the future as
 blessed for all the loving children of God, we experience great personal sorrow and loss, where cherished friends pass into the spirit world.
 It seems almost miraculous that railroad train running forty miles an hour could be wrecked, as that of yesterday, and so few lives be lost From what fearful exposure some escape, while others perish when there is little or no peril But escaping or perish- ing in the presence of multiplied, and, e7 it would seem, fast multiplying disasters, sud den and overwhelming, the subject of our sermon three weeks ago is reimpressed upon us, "But step between us and death." Shall we forget this fact or fail of preparation to take that stepa
 Among those meeting sudden death yesterday was Miss May A. Bingham, known intimately and fondly by a member of my own family, who enjoyed her friendship and reaped large advantage from her instruc- tlon while she was teacher of Mt. Holyoke seminary. She we1 woman then of rare sweetness of character and of uncommon culture, winning many hearts that came in contact with her, and exerting wonderfully enrichlng influence upon her pupils. Miss Brighan's career is more or less familiar to you all, as she had risen to foremost rank among Christian women of the land.
 For more than quarter of century, she was the honored and revered Assistant Principal of Brooklyn Heights seminary, in charge of Rev. Dr. West, and recently, as you know elected as president of Mt Hol- yoke college, expecting to assume her duties there in the early autumn. But Gods ways are not our ways: nor are his thoughts our thoughts.
 Miss Brigham hes been sought for many high positions, notably that of Wellesley l college, Mass, but all of which she had de- clined. Finally, however, on account of the l spirit and scope of this school founded by | Mary Lyon, with which she was in profound | sst sympathy, she was persuaded to as- sume it's direction. Her tragic and seem. ingly untimely death will be a great loss to that noble institution of learning. ! God, however, will care for that, for all other l institutions of Chr: :stian learning and for all ! of us, if we walk in the way of his com- mands.
 What trarslatiors there are among us and near usl How the saints of God soar upward! How the angels of heaven wing their way downward! What glorious meetings in the 'irl What rejoiceful greetings in the house lot made with hands! Beloved, shall any of B longer risk our c1turea We must make he exchange of woriGi,. r Sometime, somewhere, somehow, the end hall come! At no parting is there promise of n after meeting on these shores! :, There shall be great home gathering. Shall it be for us?
