of the most distinguished light-harness
performers of this remarkable season,
having made full mile in 1857, and a
half in 56t seconds. Dan Patch has
beaten him little bit at both distances,
but the horse who ranks second in this
year of extraordinary speed demands
great respect. Prince Alert is owned
by James Hanley of Providence, and has
been an active performer on the turf
since 1895, when he was three-years-old.
He was got by Crown Prince, son of
ARENAS by Hambletonian, and his dam
has always been given as It'll, pedi-
gree untraced." A letter to his breeder,
George w. Fort, Knightstown, Ind, has
elected the following history of the dam
which, while not establishing her pedi-
gree, will have considerable interest to
students of such matters:

colt, which showed no speed. After he

D UT Gods voice sounded out over
- that rebellious camp. Oh, what a
| God we have! Instead of abandoning
those u~ngra$eful people! instead of
Gliding and Furnishing them, He says:
"Behold, / will rain bread from Heaven
for you.' And that is what God says
to your soul and mine. Bread from
Heaven! Feeding from the hand of
God! Daily supply; enough for the
days needs; the gathering of the
| mama the first business of the day.
Egypt's flesh pots could no longer
nourish Israel. The world can no long
er feed and satisfy your souls hunger.
God must feed you. 1t will be a daily
| supply, it Will be only enough for the
day, and the gathering must be done
before the neat of the activities of the
day have melted the mamma and robbed
you of your portion. Oh, how sweet
and blessed it is to hear God say to the
| soul: 81 will rain bread from Heaven
for YOU" Listen! oh, soul. Is the
murmur of discomfort upon your lips ?
Are you hankering after the flesh pots
| of Egypt? Listen! God is speaking in
the present through the experiences
of the past in His dealings with Israel
and saying to you that He will fed you
abundantly. The needy Samaritan
woman at Jacobs well was promised
Living Water hat would satisfy for
ever. The multitudes that had eaten
of the loaves and fishes were pointed
to the Bread of Life which could salts
fv the souls hungerings. and the Liv-
ing Water and the Living Bread from
Heaven are for you and for me. Let

old life and the old indulgences bv
deep quaffs at the well of Living
Water! Let US forget the flesh pots
of the old life in the abundant and
full ~partaking of the Bread of Life
which God gives! Then instead of
murmuring we shall find the song of
praise and rejoicing rising to our lips,
and instead of the backward glance to-
ward the country of sin out of which
we have been delivered by the mercy
and grace of God we shall be looking
forward as the Lord leads out of the

A FIGURE OF THE U~NSANcTIFIED BELIEN
Copyright, 1908, by ]. M. Edson.l

Sermon by the Highway and Byway" Preacher.
The Tupelo journal., 1903-05-29

before they begin to long for the in
dulgences of the old life. They forget
that their hunger can be satisfied by
the Lord Who is leading them, thatthe
mamma of Gods bounty is as much
better than the leeks and onions of
Egypt as is life better than death and
Heaven better than earth. Esau was
willing to sell his birthright for a
mess of pottage, and the Christian
sometimes is almost ready to give his
souls hope for the indulgence and
pleasure which the world has to offer.
Lots wife, hankering after the lux
uries and pleasures of doomed Sodom,
looked back. and with the longing lool,
came tagging footsteps until the
birthstone and alkali which were rain
ing upon'the city fell also upon her and
~encrusted her, and she was lost.
ESUS said: "No man having put
his hand to the plow. and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of Heav-
en-" The children of Israel were not
fit for the Promised land while their
desires were back in Egypt, and the
longing for the flesh pots there. had to
be all disciplined out of them before
they could cross the Jordan and gain
possession of the land flowing with
milk and honey. And so with the
Christian. He is unfit for the kingdom
of Heaven while he is murmuring at
Gods providences, doubling His
thought and care and turning back in
longing desire for the old life and the
old indulgences. The flesh pots of
Egypt stand for the world and the
things of the world. The Christian is
no longer to be fed from them. They
were all well enough while he was in
bondage to sin, and serving the Devil.
But now that he has passed from the
darkness and death of Egypt into the
wilderness journey of the new life
with God, God is to feed him. Egypt's
flesh pots in the wilderness are dis
honoring to God and destructive Of
self. You cannot successfully bring
the pleasures and desires of the world
into the Christian life. One or the
other must be given up. Jesus said:
Y cannot serve two masters" And
John pleads: "Love o the world,
neither the things that are in the
world. . For the world passeth
away and the lust thereof, but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for
ever"
