let us learn lesson in the hight OF the
Easter Sabbath. We have an old-fashloneo
proverb, that it is always darkest Just DC
fore the dawn; and that is a proverb fortl-
fed by collection Of proofs, as ola as Iile
world, and as sacred as the Bible
The darkest hour that the commercial IN
terests of our country ever saw was the
morning when Commodore Perry, young
man only % years of age, sailed out oil put-
in-Bay on Lake Erie, to fight squadron
of the navy of Great Britain, which, up 10
that time, had never known defeat.
The great Magma Charta, that charter
which first boldly declared anything ike
human liberty and equal political rights pc
tween man and man, was never IN sucn
jeopardy as on that morning when Crom"eii
found his army completely surrounaeoL
shut UP like hand IN glove-put ne
prayed; and literally the clouds overhead
broke, and the sunlight glfstened on Tue
spears, and he shouted: The Lore Oh
Hosts is with ua.'' And through the ranks
of the enemy he made door OF opportunity
which has never been shut

ton, is called "profane history" but can we

course, as that is the greatest event in the
records Of the Bible, or outside of them, it
is in it that we see most clearly how true are
the words of dear friend: Thank God,

then the next thing must be daybreak."

ence, history repeats itself. The higher and
nobler your ideal, the more will you be left
alone perhaps, and called impracticable and
visionary. The more you love the truth. the
more opposition you can expect from mer

with, always speaks to small audiences
Truth has for its first disciples the despiset

These are the darkest hours again, just be
