BREAD THAT Is CAST uPos THE WATERS.
Ayoung man came 10 a man Of ninety years
Of age and said TO him: "How have you made
out 20 live 81 long and be 50 wellf' Tie old
man took the youngster 10 an orchard and,
pointing 10 some large trees full Of apples,
said: II planted these trees when !
bow and DO YOU wonder that now ! am per
mitted 20 gather the fruit OF themp We
gather in old age what we plant in our youth.
Sow 10 the wind and We reap the whirlwind
Plant in early life the right kind Of Chris
tian character, and You VIII eat luscious fruit
III old age, and gather these harvest apples
ia eternity.
Again, urge you 20 avoid the perpetual
pleasure seeker | believe in recreation and
amusement. I need il as much US / need
bread, and 60 TO my daily exercise with as
conscientious a purpose as go 10 the Lords
Supper; and all persons Of sanguine tempera-
ment must have amusement and recreation
God would not have made Us with the capa-
city TO laugh if he had not intended us some
times to indulge it. God hath hung in sky,
and set in wave, and printed on grass many
roundelay: but he who chooses pleasure seek
ing for his life work does not understand for
what God made him. Our aInusements are
intended TO help us in some earnest mission.
The thunder cloud hath an edge exquisitely
purpled but with voice that jars the earth,
il declares: Il 60 10 water the green fields"
The wild flowers under the fence are gay, but
they say: 1--WE stand here to make beauti-
full edge for tho wheat field, and 10 refresh
the husbandmen in their nooning" The
stream sparkles and foaps and frolics. and
says: II SO TO baptize the moss. / lave the
spots on the trout / slake the thirst Of the
bird / turn the wheel Of tho mill rock
in my crystal cradle muckshaw and water
lilv." And so, while the world plays, it
works Look out for the man VINO always
plays and never works.
You will do well 30 avoid those whose reCu-
lar business it is 70 play ball, skate or 20
a-boating All these sports are grand in their
places / never derived so much advantage
from any ministerial association as from
ministerial club that went out to play ball
every Saturday afternoon in the outskirts Of
Philadelphia. These recreations are grand to
give us muscle and spirits for our regular toll.
| believe in muscular Christianity. man is
often not so near God with weak stomach
as when be has strong digestion But shun
those who make it their life occupation 10
sport. There arc young men whose industry
and usefulness havo fallen overheard from tho
Yacht on the Hudson or the Schuylkil. There
are men whose business fell through the ico
Of the skating pond, aud has never since been
heard Of There IS beauty in the gliding Of
G beat, in the song Of skates, in the soaring Of
O well struck ball, and never see one fy but
involuntarily throw up Iny hands 10 catch it;
and, 50 far from laying an injunction upon
ball playing, or any other innocent sport,
claim them all as belonging Of right TO those
OF us who toll il the grand industries Of church
and state.
LISTEN NOT TO TIE TEMPTER's VOICE
But the life business Of pleasure seeking
always makes in the end criminal or "A sot.
George Brummell was smiled upon 10y al

hausted Of purse, and worn out OF body. and

clared that he thought a deg life was better
than G mans.
