of English and American citizens
against Portugal for damages for her
seizure of the Delagoa Bay railroad,

Text, Philippians iv., u: Il know
both how to be abased, and l know
how to abound"
Happy Paul! Could you really ac-
commodate yourself to all circum-
stances in life? Could you go up with
out pride, and could you come down
without evaporation?
We are at a season of the year when
vast populations in all our cities are
changing residence. Having been born
in house, and having all our lives
lived in house, we do not have full
appreciation of what house is. 1t is
the growth of thousands of years. The
human race first lived in clefts of
rocks, beasts of the field moving out of
the caverns to let the human race
move IN. The shepherds and the rob-
bers still live in caverns of the earth.
The troglodytes are a race which to
this day prefer the caverns to house.
They are warm, they are large, they
are very comfortable, they are less sub
ject to violent changes of heat and
cold. We come on along down in the
history of the race, and we come to
the lodge, which was home built out
of twisted tree branches. We come
further on down in the history of the
race, and we come to the tent. which
was home built with a round pole in
the center, and skins of animals reach
ing out in all directions, mats on the
floor for the people to sit on.
Time passed on, and the world, after
much invention, came to build house,
which was a space surrounded by
broad stones, against which the earth
was heaped from the outside. The roof
was made of chalk and gypsum, and
Goals and stones and ashes pounded to-
gether. After awhile the porch was
born, after awhile the gate. Then hun
dreds of years passed on, and in the
fourteenth century the modern Chin
ney was constructed. The old He
brews had openings in their houses
from which the smoke might escape If
it preferred, but there was no induce
ment offered for it to leave until the
the door, or the keyhole was large
enough to allow the finger to be in
serted for the lifting of the latch or
the sliding of it. There being no win
dows, the people were dependent for
light upon latticework, over which a
thin veil was drawn down in time of
winter to keep out the elements. Win
dow glass was, so late as two or three
hundred years ago, in England and
Scotland, so great a luxury that only
the very wealthiest could afford it. A
hand mill and an oven and few leath
ern bottles and some rude pitchers and
plates made up the entire equipment
of the culinary department. But the
home planted in the old cave or at the
foot of tent pole has grown and en-
larged and spread abroad until we have
the modern house with its branches
and roots and vast girth and height
and depth of comfort and accommoda-
tion.

Going to the Fathers House.

On almost the first load we, the
children, were sent on ahead to the
new house, and we arrived with shout
and laughter. and in an hour we had
ranged through every room in the
house, the barn and the granary. To-
ward night, and perhaps in the last
wagon, father and mother would come,
looking very tired, and we would come
down to the foot of the lane to meet
them and tell them of all the wonders
we discovered in the new place, and
then, the last wagon unloaded, the
candles lighted, our neighbors who had
helped us to move-for in those times
neighbors helped each other-sat down
with us at a table on which there was
every luxury they could think Of
Well, my dear Lord knows that some
of us have been moving a good while.
We have sent our children ahead, we
have sent many of our valuables
ahead, sent many treasures ahead. We
cannot go yet. There is work for us
to do. but after awhile it will be to-
ward night, and we will be very tired,
and then we will start for our new
home, and those who have gone ahead
of us they will see our approach, and
they will come down the lane to meet
us. and they will have much to tell us
of what they have discovered in the
house of many mansions" and of
how large the rooms are and of how
bright the fountains. And then, the
last load unloaded, the table will be
spread and our celestial neighbors will
come in to sit down with our reunited
families, and the chalices will be full
not with the wine that sweats in the
vat of earthly intoxication, but with
'the new wine of the kingdom" And
there for the first time we will realize
what fools we were on earth when we
feared to die, since death has turned
out only to be the moving from a
smaller house into larger one, and
the exchange of pauper's hut for a
princes castle, and the going up stairs
from a miserable kitchen to a glorious
parlor. o house of God not made with

that all the houses had been sold or
that they wanted to sell them, and
there was literally no exception, al
