morning, as man was created Saturday sf. ternoon. They have right to be hers. He who gals horse, or exposes COW to the storm, or beats dog, or mauls eai, or gambles at the pigeon shooting, or tortu res an insect, will have 10 answer for 1t in tho 1udgmcnt-day. You may console yours elf that these creatures are not immortal and they cannot appear against you, but the saw the wrong you did them will be there. Better look out, you stock-ralsers and rail. road companies who bring the cattle on trains without food or water for three OF four days m hot weather, n loEg groan oi agony from Omaha to New York. Better look out, you farmer riding behind that limping horse with nail that the blacksmith drove into the quick.

A perfect form he lay along the earth, sym metrcsl and of God-like countenance. Magnificent piece of Divine carpentry and Omnipotent sculpturing, but no vitality. A body without soul.

But the scene of ths saturday is not yet done, and in the atmos phere, drowsy with the breath of flowers and the song Of bobolnks and robinredbreasts, the man slumbers, and by an@sthet- les, diyinely administered, the slumber deepcns until without tue oozing of one drop of blood at the tune or the faintest scar afterward, that portion is removed from his side which IS to be built up tho Queen of Paradise. the daughter of tho great God. the mother of the human race, the Aenediction of all ages, woman the wife, afterward woman the mother.

 What do you think of that one weeks worky l review 1t not for eute ertainment, but because 1 would have you join ln Davd's DoXoogy: Great and Marvellous arc Thy Works, Lord God Almighty" be- cause 1 want you to know what home stead our Father built for his children at the start, though sin has despoied 1t; and because want you to know how the world vii! look again when Christ shall have re- stored it, swinging now between two Edens. "rhe heavens declare the glory of God" Yea. l preach this. because I want you to walk in appreciation of Addison's sublime sentiment when he writes:
 The spacious Armament on nigh
 With all the blue ethereal sky
 And spangled heav'ns. s shining frame,

 In reasons ear they all rejoice
 And utter forth glorious voice
 Forever singing as they shtuc,
 The hand that made uy is divine.
