20 further and remarl, that the birds
of the air are wiser than we in the fact
that in their migration they fly very
high. During the summer, when they
are in the fields, they often come with
in reach of the gun, but when they start
for the annual flight southwark they
take their places midheaven and 60
straight as a mark. The longest rifle
that was ever brought to shoulder can
not reach them. Would 10 God that we
were as wise as the stork and crane in
our flight heavenward! We fly so low
that we are within easy range Of the
world, the flesh and the devil. We are
brought down by temptations that ought
not to come within mile Of reaching
us. Oh, for some of the faith of George
Muller of England and Alfred Goodman,
once of the church militant, now of the
church triumphant! So poor is the type
of piety in the church of God now that
men actually caricature the idea that
there is any such thing as higher life.
Moles never did believe in eagles. But
my brethren, because we have not
reached these heights ourselves, shall
we deride the fact that there are any
such heights? A man was once talking
to Brunei, the famous engineer. about
the length of the railroad from London
to Bristol. The engineer said: ut is
not very great. We shall have after
awhile steamer running from Eng
land to New York" They laughed him
to scorn, but we have gone so far
now that we have ceased to laugh at
anything as impossible for human
achievement. Then, ask, is anything
impossible for the Lord? do not be-
lieve that God exhausted all his grace
in Paul and Latimer and Edward Pay

Christian attainment to be reached in
the future ages of the Christian world.
Get Out of the Old Ruts.
You tell me that Paul went up to the
tiptop of the Alps of Christian attain
ment. Then l tell you that the stork
and crane have found above the Alps
plenty of room for free flying. We &c
out and we conquer our temptations by
the grace of God and lie down. On the
morrow those temptations rally them
selves and attack u.s. and by the grace OF
God we defeat them again. but stayine
