all that covered by q mortgage. Than
evening, at the close Of the huskin6
day, one man drove home q roam span
so frisltly, so full Of life, they got
their feet over the traces The other
man walked home Great differ
ence in education, great difference In
worldly means; but / 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 so 1t will be In
Heaven. Our Father will gather Ills
children around Him, and the neigh
bors will come In, and the past will be
rehearsed. And some one will tell OF
victory, and we will all celebrate 1t.
And some one will tell Of great strug-
GLE and will all praise the grace that
fetched him out Of II. And some one
will say: Here is my old father that
! put away with heartbreas; just
look at him, he is as young as any
of us!' And some one will say, Here
is my darling child that ! buried in
Greenwood, and all the after years OF
my life were shadowed with desolation

II she had been sick minute" Great
sociality. Great neighborhood kind
ness. Go in and dine. What though
John Milton sit down on one side and
John Howard on the other side. No
embarrassment What though Char
lotte Elizabeth sit down on one side and
Hannah More sit down on the other
side? No embarrassment A monarch
yourself, why be embarrassed among
monarchs? A songster yourself, why
be embarrassed among glorified song
sters? Go in and dine.
All the shocks Of corn coming in In
their season. o, yes, in their season.
Not one of you having died too soon, or
having died too late, or having died ut
haphazard. Planted at just the right
time. Plowed at just the right time.
Cut down at just the right time.
Husked at just the right time. Gar
nered at just the right time. Coming
in in your season. 0, / wished
that the two billion bushels OF corn
now in the fields or on their way to the
seaboard might be type Of the grand
yield of honor and glory and immor-
tality, when all the shocks come in.
| do not know how you are consti-
tuted, but am so constituted that there
is nothing that so awakens reminis-
cences,in me as the odors Of corn field
when cross II at this time OF year after
the corn has been cut and 1t stands in
shock. And so have thought 1t might
be practically useful for us to-day to
cross the cornfeld, and have thought
perhaps there might be some reminis-
cence reused in our soul that might be
salutary and might be saving In Swe,
den prima donna, while her house
in the city was being repaired, took a
house in the country for temporary resi-
dence, and she brought out her great
array Of Jewels to show friend who
wished TO see them. One night, after
displaying these jewels, and leaving
them on tho table, and all her friends
had gone, and the servants had gone
one summer night-she sat thinking
and looking into mirror just in from
I of her chair, when she saw in tina
mirror the face OF a robber looking II
at the window behind her and gazing a
those Jewels She was in great fright
but sat still, and hardly knowing VIII.
she did so she began to sing an oil
nursery song, her fears making the pa
thos Of the song more telling Sudden
ly she noticed, while looking at tn
mirror, that the robbers face had gon
from the window, and 1t did not com
back. A few days after the prim
donna received letter from the robbie
saying: ~ heard that the jewels wer
to be out that night, and came t
take them at whatever hazard; bu
when / heard you sing that nurser
song with which my mother S
J often sang me TO sleep, l coul
not stand It and | fed, and l hav
resolved upon a new and honest life.
! my friends, there are jewels In per-
richer than those which lay upon tha
> table that night They are the jewel
, Of the immortal soul. Would God tina
, some song rolling up out Of the deserte
, nursery OF your childhood, or some son
d golling up out Of the cornfelds, tn
r song OF the huslSers twenty or fort
r years ago, might turn all our feet OF
. Of the paths OF sin into the paths {
a righteousness. Would God that thos
G memories waited in on odor or son
e might start us this moment with swii
2 feet toward that blessed place where s
!. many Of our loved ones have alread
, preceded us, "as shock OF corn comet
@ in in his season"
