an opposite direction Believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
| Through that one gate of pardon and peace
| all the race may go in. But" says some
one "do you really think would be at
at home in that supernRl society il should
reach itP' ! think you would. Fknow you
would. I remember that in the huskinR
time there was great equality of feeling
among the neighbors. There at one corn
shock a farmer would be at work who
owned two hundred acres Of ground. The
man whom he was talking with at the next
corn-shock owned but thirty Acres Of
ground, and perhaps ali that covered by
a mortgage. That evening, at the close
of the husklng day, one man drove h0me, a
roam span so frisky, so full Of life, they got
their feet over the traces The other man
walked home. Great difference In educa-
ton, great difference IN worldly means; but
l noticed at the husking time they all
seemed to enjoy each others society. They
did not ask any man how much property he
owned or what his education had been.
They all seemed to be happy together in
those good times. And 80 il will be in
heaven. Our Father will gather his chill
dren around him, and the neighbors will
come in, and the past will be rehearsed.
And some one will tell of victory, and
we will all celebrate It, And some one will
tell of great struggle. and we will all praise
the grace that fetched him out Of it. And
some one will say, Here is my old father
that put away with heart-break; just look
at him, be is as young as any of us" And
some one will say, Here is my darling
child that l buried in Greenwood and all
the after years OF my life were Swallowed
with desolation-just look at herl She
doesn't seem as if she had been sick a min
Ute" Great sociality. Great neighbor-
hood kindness. Go in and dine. What
though John Milton sit down on one side
and John Howard sit down on the other
side. No embarrassment. What though
Charlotte Elizabeth sit down on one side
and Hannah Moore sit down on the other
sidea No embarrassment. A monarch
yourself, why be embarrassed among mon
archsl A songster yourself, why be em-
barrassed among glorified sOngstersi Go in

you having died too.soon, or having died too
late, or having died at hephazard. Planted

do not know how you are constituted,
but | am so constituted that there is moth
ing that 30 awakens "reminiscences in me as
the odors OF a cornfield when cross it at
this time of the year, after the corn has been
cut and 1t stands in shocks. And 80 have
thought IL might be practically useful for
thought, perhaps, there might be some
reused In our soul that might
be salutary and might be saving. In
Sweden prima donna, while her house in
the city was being repaired, took a house
in the country for temporary residence, and
she brought out her great array of jewels
TO show a friend who withed Co see thom.
One night, after displaying these jewels, and
leaving them on the table, and all her friends
had gone, aud the servants had gone-one
summer night-she sat thinking and look
ing into mirror just in front Of her chair
when she saw in that mirror the face of a
robber looking in at the window behind
her and gazing at those jewels. She was in
great fright, but sat still, and hardly know
ing why she did 30 she began TO sing on old
nursery song, her fears making the pathos
of the song more telling. Suddenly she
noticed. while looking at the mirror, that
the robbers face had gone from the window
aud it did not come back. A few days after
the prima donna received a letter from the
robber saying: chad heard that the jewels
were to be out that night, and l came to
take them at whatever hazard but when !
heard you sing that nursery song with
which my mother so often sang me to
sleep / could not stand it and l fed. and
l have resolved upon new and honest
life.n o, my friends, there are jewels in
peril richer than those which lay upon
that table that night. They are the jewels
of the immortal soul Would God that
some song rolling up out of the deserted
nursery Of your childhood, or some song
rolling up out of the corn1elds, the song OF
the huskers twenty or forty years ago,
might turn all our feet out of the paths OF
sin into the paths of Righteousness. Would
God that those memories waited in on odor
or song might start us this moment with
swift feet toward that blessed place where
SO many of our loved ones have already pre-
coded us, 'as shock of corn cometh in in
his season."
