multitudes of such systems, which are called Planet-Systems. Rivaling the eagle in our upward flight we come to several of these planet-systems formed into still larger neighborhood, and revolving about common point within it. None can count the systems of this class which are called Sun Systems. Now with the buoyancy of perpetual youth we.tread among the star dust in our journey to the beyond, passing several of these sun-systems forming a neighborhood still larger, and circulating about point within It. We cannot pause to count these systems, which are called: Group-Sys- tems. AS the Eternal is leading us we falter not. We come to several of these wonderful group-systems united in still larger neighborhood, and re- volvlng about common point within It. There are many of these systems called Cluster-Systems. Now into mys- teries where scarcely the mind of man dare venture, passing several of these cluster-systems, combined into another still grander whose center of motion is common to all it's members. There are great many such systems which are called Nebula-Systems. We ap- preach the end of our journey, which brings us near enough to hear the music of the heavenly harpers, and the chorus of the great company, had we the lear to hear, ,"-near enough to see the new city's outlines, had we the eye to see; as it is we hear the new born music of the spheres! We have come to where all the systems of space, composing one grand neighborhood, that embraces all other neighborhoods, that revolves around one motion centre of the creation. This the Universe System.

 Language grows and growth involves the merging of the imperfect into new types of life and beauty. The old English word ''portion" hardly repre-. sents the Hebrew idea now; the word ''estate" is much truer as an inter. preter of the text.
 An estate is personal property ac. quircd by creation or gift. By crea' tion is understood that act by which one converts intellectual or muscular endowment into relative values labor has recognized value. We cal that a commercial transaction. Prop erty may be gift, nevertheless some one has given value for it; and the re- ceiver if he be thoroughly honest rec ognizes the fact. The text in sense not altogether unlike the case cited states ''The Lords portion is His peo | ple.' l notice

 What tender memories cluster about an old homestead. It was humble, un ostentatious probably, but it was home. In vigorous young manhood and young womanhood the now ageC father and mother planted every fruit bearing tree, that ere long, like them selves will be superseded. Every nook and corner of the farm is crowded witt "reminiscences; and every room in the old house is fragrant with memories There were days of-roses and orange blossoms; and there were days of white carnations and lilies. God save u: from forgetting the memories of the past and the past itself.
