far beyond. Ant hills, speak out and teach
us a larger and mightier lesson of prepar-
ing food for the more important part Of
u.s. Do you realize that a man may be a
millionaire or a multi-millionaire for time
and a bankrupt for eternity, d prince for
a few years and a pauper forever? The
ant would not be satisfied with gathering
enough food for half a winter or quarter
of a winter. But how many of us seem
content, though not having prepared for
the ten-milionth part OF what will be our
existence!
Put yourself in right relations to the
Christ OF the ages, through, HIM seek par,
don for all you have ever done wrong and
strength for alt you will be called 70 en-
dure, and there VIII be no force IN NE or
death or eternity to discount you: l de-
clare it! There is enough OF transforming
and STRENGTHENING power IN Christ for
both hemlspheres!

furthermore, go to the ant and CONSIDER
lts lhdel9tlgaole9ess' II py the aceiaehta,
stroke of your foot or the removal OF a
timber the cities OF the lnseetlle world
are destroyed instantly they go to rebuild;
ing. They do not SIT around moplng. AT
IT again IN a second. lheir fright lmme,
dlately gives way to Their industry. And
II our schemes OF usefulness and our plans
OF work tan why SIT down IN discourage
mentE As large ant hills as have ever beer
constructed will be constructed again. Pul
your trust in Goo and do your duty, ano
your best days are yet to come. You have
never heard such songs as you VIII yei
hear, nor have you ever lived in such Crane
abode as you will yet occupy, and all tbs
worldly treasures you have lost are moth
ing compared with the opulence that yor
WI yet own. II you love and trust the
Lord, Paul looks you in the face and then
waves his hand toward a heaven full OF
palaces and thrones, crying, "All are
yours!' So that what you fail to get II
this present life you will get in the coming
life. Go to work right away and rebuild
as well as you can, knowing that what the
tTOwels OF earthly industry fail to rear the
scepters OF heavenly reward will more thar
make up.
Persistence is the lesson of every ant
hill. Waste not a moment in useless re.
grets or unhealthy replning. Men tret
themselves down, but no man ever yet
fretted himself up. Make the obstacles IN
your way your coadjutors, as all those
have who have accomplished anything
worth accomplishment.

But we live in times where there are SO
many c~lashings. There seems almost uni
versal unrest. Large fortunes swallow up
small fortunes. Civilized nations trying TO
gobble up barbaric nations. Upheaval OF
creeds, and people who once oelieyed
everything now believing nothing. The
old book that Moses began and st, John
ended bombarded from scientific OBSERVE,
tories and college class-rooms. Amid all
this disturbance and uncertainty that
which many good people need Is not a
stimulus, but a sedative, and in my text
find it-divine observation and guidance
of minutest affairs. And nothing is to
God large or small, planet or ant hill, the
God who easily made the worlds employ
ing His iniinity in the wondrous construc'
ton of a spiders foot.
Before we leave this subject let us thank
God for those who were willing to endure
the f~atigues and self sacrifices necessary
to make revelation of the natural world,
so reinforcing the Scriptures. II the mi,
croscope could speak, what a story it could
tell of hardship and poverty and suffering
