THE FIRST METHODIST.

At the morning service of the First Meth odist church yesterday pr. Morris took his text from the l22d Psalm: .'He giveth His beloved sleep.p He said that God had given to the world two great books, Nature and the Bible.
 'When the Savior was on earth he illus- trated great truths by nature. In nature we see the perfected beauty of sleep.' He made many references to sleep mentioned in the Bible and said the poet had summed 1t up in this line:
 'sTired nature's sweet restorer-sleep.
 "On the physical body there is a con- stant wear and tear, whether it be in the stroke of the strong arm of the blacksmith or the twinkling ofa baby's eye. And sleep IS the sweet restorer.
 ''There is waste in mans spiritual life as in his physical, and to tired spirit God giveth sleep and a quietude which restores our souls. Sleep is not merely gratifica- tion to meet the demands of nature. There are some men who want religion simply to be happy-these men are sluggards. This was the trouble with Peter on the noun taintop. He said:- sLet us remain here; this is good place. But Gods revela- tion to men did mean that they should always be happy. Sleep is preparation for work. Nirvana is the religion of some of our people, but tue religion of Christ IS life and work. God never contem plated man without work. Sleep rises above all conditions. The sleep of a laboring man Is sweet. some men can sleep anywhere; in the mill, on the cars and even some in church.
 { He made kind and pathetic reference to Dr. Coleman of East Lake, and the death of his daughter.
 ''Sleep IS a necessity. Pain comes from the want of sleep. So the soul of a man needs rest, just as his body needs sleep. With the temptations and evils of life around him his soul grows weary and longs for rest. When l meet man of business upon the street and see from the expres- the troubles of his business and the cares of life, and when I hear that he has com mitted suicide, know that he had insom- nia of the soul and did not find rest, and his desperate deed is not surprising to me. But he who seeks for the truth of the word of God shall find this rest for his soul, for tHa Civeth bis halnyed slaen. !, ,,

The men extinguished the lights in

be seen a newer fire. 1t came from the

few minutes of watching and all doubts
were at rest, for the flames broke out
