In your occupation. your mission, your
sphere, do the best you can, and then
trust 10 Cod: and if things are all mixed
and disquieting and your brain is ho
and your heart sick, get some one TO 70
out with you into the starlight and point
out to you the Pleiades, or, better than
that, get into some observatory, and
through the telescope see further than
Amos with the naked eye could-namely,
two hundred stars in the Pleiades, and
that in what is called the sword of Orion
there is nebula computed to he two tril-
lion two hundred thousand billions of
times larger than the sun. Oh, he al peace
with the God who made that and controls
all that-the wheel of the consultations
turning in the wheel of galaXies for thou
sands of years without the breaking of
a cog or the slipping of a band or the
snap OF an axle. For your placidity and
comfort through the Lord Jesus Christ /
charge you, Seek him that maketh the
Seven Stars and Orion
Again. Amos saw, as we must see, that
the God who made these two groups of
the text was the God of Light. Amos saw
that God was not satisfied with making
one star or two or three stars, but he
makes seven; and having finished that
group Of worlds, makes another group
group after group TO the Pleiades he
ADDS Orion 1t seems that God likes light
so well that he keeps making it. Only
one Being in the universe knows the Stats
tics of solar, lunar. stellar, meteoric crea-
tons, and that is the Creatot himself And
they have all been lovingly ehirstened
each one a name as distinct the names
of your children. He telleth the number
of the stars; he callcth them all by their
names" The seven Pleiades had names
given to them, and they are Alcyone, Me-
rope, Celaeno, Electra Sterope, Taygete
and Maia.
But think of the billions and trillions
of daughters of starry light that God calls
by name as they sweep by him with beam
ing brow and lustrous robei So fond i9
God of light-naural light. moral light
spiritual light. Again and again is light
harnessed for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, the
bright and morning star; evangellzation,
the daybreak; the redemption of nations,
Sun of Righteousness rising with healing
In his wings. oh, men and women, with
so many sorrows and sins and perpleXl-
ties, if you want light of comfort, light
of pardon light of goodness, in earnest
PRAYER through Christ seek him that
maBeth the Seven stars and Orion"
Again, Amos saw. as we must see that
the God wko made these two archipela-
goes of stars must be an unchanging God.
There had been no change in the stellar
appearance in this herdsmans lifetime,
and his father, a shepherd, reported to him
that there had been no change in his life
time And these two clusters hang over
the celestial arbor now just as they were
the first night that they shone on the
Edenio bowers, the same as when the
Egyptians built the Pyramids from the
ton of which to watch them, the same as
when the Chaldeans calculated the
eclipses. the same as when Elihu, accord
ing to the Book Of Job, went out to study
the aurora borealis, the same under Ptole-
maic system and Copernican system, the
same from Calsthenes to Pythagoras. and
from Pythagoras TO Herschel. Surely,
changeless God must have fashioned the
Pleiades and Orion Oh, what an anodyne
amid the ups and downs of life, and the
hux and retiux of the tides of prosperity,
to know that we have a changeless God,
tine same yesterday, to-day, and for
ever"
Xerxes garlanded and knighted the
steersman of his boat in the morning, and
hanged him in the evening of the same
day. Fifty thousand people stood around
the columns of the national capital, shout
ing themselves hoarse at the presidential
inaugural. and in four months so great
were the antipathies that ruffiian's pistol
in Washington depot expressed the senti-
ment of many a disappointed otfice-seek-
err The world sits in its chariot and drives
tandem, and the horse ahead Is Huzza,

Gotham, in King James time, was APP
plauded and had thirty-five thousand dol
lars a year, but was atterward eXecrated
and lived on scraps stolen from the royal
kitchen. Alexander the Great after death
remained unburied for thirty days because
no one would do the honor OF shoVeling
him under. The Duke of Wellington re-
fused to have his iron fence mended be-
cause it had been broken by an Infatuated
populace in some hour of political excite

might learn what tickle thing is human

everlasting TO everlasting to them that
fear him, and his righteousness unto the
childrens children of such as keep his

"seek him that maketh the Seven stars
| of Orion"
Again. Amos saw, as we must see, that
the God who made these two beacons or
! the oriental night sky, must be God of
| love and kindly warning. The P4eiades
rising in mid-sky said to all the herdsmen
and shepherds and husbandmen: Come
| out and enjoy ths mild weather, and cul-
| tivate your gardens and fields. Orion,
| coming in winter. warned them to prepare
| for tempest. All navigation was reSulat-
ed by these two consultations. The one
said TO shipmaster and crew: Hoist sail
for the sea. and gather merchandise from
! other lands" But orion was the storm
signal and said: Reef SAIL make things
snug, or put into inarbor. for the hurri-
canes are getting their wings out, "As
the Pieiades were the sweet evangels of
the spring. orion was the warning prophet
of the winter.
Oh now ! get the best view of God 1

want TO preach--the one that presents God
so kind, so indulgent, so lenient, so imbe-
cile that men may do what they will

and put the pry of their impertnence and
rebellion under his throne, and while they
