A Long Felt Want.
From stevens Point Journal:

From stevens FOlnt JournaI:
II. d. Boston, the undertaken, has
introduced a new device TO be used at
funerals that fills a long felt want. 1t
is a small incouspicuouS machine for
lowering cotfins into the grave that
does away with much of the usual
confusion with inexperienced pail
bearers on such occasions. The coffin
is simply laid on two ropes across the
grave and by turning screw the
undertaken starts it Slowly downward.
There is no onoise, friction or possibility
Of accident. The device has been
used on several occasions and has been
very satisfactory.

DR.. JAMES IT. VANCE,

many learn to say, "It was good for me
to be afflicted" It Is often at the
fourth watch of the night the darkest
hour of all-when Jesus comes walking
to US on the sea.
It is when we are alone that God
comes closest to US. Blackbirds 20 in
focks, but the condor scars. The one
panorama of q continent. The cater
pillar that crawls does not see the Wis
ion of the butterfly. All great strong
lives get alone with God. Solitude is
the home of genius. Great paintings,
sculpturing, OratiOns come from behind
locked doors. Paul, John the baptizer,
Jesus had the desert of Arabia, the
Judean wilderness, the mountain tops
to reinforce spiritual strength. Oh
go to the woodland with rompinR chill
dren you will not discover the secrets
of the forests. But 60 alone, sit on
come log alone and the squirrel will
bark from the tree top, the red bird
will sing from over your head, the
rabbit will stop at your feet. So alone
with God in prayer with the open
bible will the secrets come to your soul
and the heavens will open.
But Jacobs vision faded. Abraham
was laid at Mac Pelah: Rachael whose

laid away when those who remained
longed for a greater knowledge of
heaven. Skepties arose and said
God will not talk to his children.
The chasm cannot be bridged.
This earth they say is like ship set
adrift at the mercy of waves and tenn
pest. The world is but an atom of star
dust and God does not care whittier it
drifts. But the church has stood out

In EHE CHURCHES.

7 what q WEAKNESS is it-and ye have
snuffed at it." Many of our people to-
day serve God through a sense of duty
alone. They have no pleasure in it. Il
wearies them to read Gods word.
1t wearies them to pray. 1t wear
les them to do Christian work,
It wearies them to attend the service
of the house of God. Christianity is
the verftable drudgery of their life.
And oft-times they actually "snuff
at" turn up their noses at, these
sacred things. o, let me implore you,
do not rob God in this way. Give him
a whole hearted service. "Do with
thy might what thy hands find to do. F"
Fifth and last: The specific mean
ing of the text is that they robbed God
of that part of their income due to
HIM. God had put the work of the
ministry singing and care of the tenn
pla on the Levites. That they might
not go without secular reward for this
service, all the people
were required to bring q tenth of their
income into the treasury. But when
Nehemiah came to Jerusalem he found
the priests and the singers and the
porters gone to the field to earn their
bread, because the people had with
held their 1.-THE. And now while some
form of service was being kept up it
was but subterfuge for the offerings
God so much desired. God wants the
first and the best offerings of soul and

revealed truth that God will commu.
nicate with his creatures, that he has
revealed himself, that Jesus is the
true Jacobs ladder swung across the
distance.
The world cried out sore hearted,
help me? Or am 1 in the grip of some
great machine that grinds without
pity! Who controls this chip? Is he
q wise captain? Can he direct US
through the danger of the voyage"
Jesus answers that soul cry. 1.-THE
very hairs of your head are number
ed?' said Jesus, mot a sparrow falls
notice." Yes, and God guides
the vessel and he is a
wise father who will bring
you to safe harbOr. Then men want
ed pity and pardon. Men felt that life
had been q failure. When Jesus said
God is like the father of the Prodigal
Son parable men and women every
where said, ''He shall besmy father; I
shall arise and 60 to Him. aa The The
has been: "Lord remember me when
thou CONTEST into thy kingdom"
Kneeling at jesus altar we get pity
and pardon, and rise new men and wo-
men. The world is at last seeing Jesus
as the true ladder to heaven. He
opens heaven as no one else does, and
when he said death does not end in q
grave in the grass, we shall
meet in q heavenly home. the
sting was taken out of disease and pain
and death. Heads up! Heaven is
q reality. We all have gathered
yonder our most sacred memories,
tenderest associations and highest
hopes. We can almost see the crowns
flash and the hands wave. Jesus is the
ladder that stretches across. He has
opened heaven to our earthly eyes in
grauder visions than Jacob saw.
Have I wasted your Sabbath morning
for you. Not If you have been made
more hopeful; not If you see more
clearly Jesus As the real communica-
tiQn between earth and heaven; not If
you have determined to say[I will
follow Jesus until at last see him face
to face In the statelier Bden above.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
"Chrlst the True Jacobs Ladder. +"

At the Presbyterian church yester-
day morning the pastor, Rev. 81. w.
Moore, preached from the text; "And
he dreamed, and beheld ladder set
upon the earth. And the top of it
reached to heaven" Gen. 2S:12. The
subject was: "Christ the true Jacobs
ladder" Part of the discourse is here
given:
There is but one object in all the uni
verse greater than the human soul and
that is it's creator. The deepest aud
profoundest cry of the soul, ever since
sin locked the .gates of heaven, has
been for q heavenly vision. Religion
and philosophy have tried to bridge
the chasm between the now and the
hearafter, but how many have died, in
faith. but upsatisfed. Job took up the
worlds heart cry when he
said, sob that knew
where might find Him.. and
Moses cried out. II beseech thee show
me thy glory" David cries III the
same voice, "My heart panteth after
the living God'' and in the upper
room Nathaniel with quivering lip and
fearful eye said. "We know not whore
thou goest and how can we know the
way" OF the far off land men have

dreamed dreams and have had visions
but how often have they faded like
Jacobs with the dawn.
JaaDb was q fugitive from his
fathers house He had stolen the
birth righs and was hunted by swift
footed Esau. He kissed Rebecca, his
mother. good bye and hurried away to
Uncle Laban's house. BY and by
night came down. The last tint Of
sunset faded from the sky. It was his
first night from home. Always he had
had some one to say good night to. Do
you remember your first night away
from home? Wearied he placed his
bundle on mestone rock, pulled his
camel hair cloak over his feet and laid
down to rest. He looked up the long
mountain slope and saw where it seem
ed to touch the sky and here and
there up the mountain rocks like steps
glistened in the moonlight. Els last
look was upward into the studded hea-
VEINS. His thoughts thus become q beau
tiful dream. The door of heaven open
ed and down the golden staircase or
ladder q thousand shining angels
came, and from the ladders top came
q voice like music. 1t was God saying,
"Behold I am with thee, and will keep
thee" Soon the dawn came and Jacob
awaked saying: ''This is the gate of
Heaven"
Like Jacob we are all travelling over
the earth to glory. But often our
brightest visions come to us in the
hard, sad critical periods of life. No
one has had the heavenly vision who
has not been on the moorland waste.
The sad mother who dreams.her babe,
a few months ago dead, is by her side
in bed and feels for it to find it gone
