A short time ago young Boston
Ian, William Hoffman, brought to a
camp at Ashland, Me-, his bride or a
month. After doing Bar Harbor and
the White mountains the couple
longed for quiet and sought it in the
vastness of the primeval forest. They
would, they thought, be far from
friends, and PREPARED to finish their
vacation clad in old clothes and sur

The only shadow whicn crept up

a horror of mice and the second day
in camp when she discovered one OF
the small rodents scudding from back
of the fireplace In the main room she
nearly went into Mysteries. She
thought that II they had invaded one
room they might another; and that
day the guides spent most of their
time plugging suspiciouslooking holes
with soap.
When the shades of evening fell
Mrs. Hoffman grew more nervous and
demanded a roaring fire in the CRATE.
This had been cracking cheerfully
some time when there came a knock
at the door and two Portland couples
who were camping in the neighbor-
hood dropped in to make friendly
call. The advent was unexpected. but
the Hoffmans were by this time lone

died down until the supply of wood in

entirely exhausted Thereupon Mr.
Hoffman and his male guests went
out in search for more. AS the
guides had retired and the axe was
missing they seized upon a fourfoot
log lying just back of the camp and
carrying it to the fireplace gently
laid it upon the embers.
Had Mr.. Hoffman been less Of a

the log was hollow and full of bees,

SERM ETTE.

Paul seizes upon this dark
chapter in the history of tho
Hebrew people to point warm
ing and make an appeal to the
children of God to-day.
All left Egypt for Canaan, but
, all did not reach the rest and
blessing of that promised land.
Why?
Because of the awful sin of un-
belief, the one certain barrier to
the realization of the promised
blessing of God.
Holding up this striking ex-
ample of what the sin of unbe-
lief can forfeit to the soul of
man, Paul appeals to the Chris
tian to "fear, lest, a promise be-
ing left us of entering into his
rest, any of you should seem to
come short of 1t. Let US
labor, therefore, to enter into
that rest, lest any man fall after
the same example of unbeIief."
The unbeIief which drove the
children of Israel back into the
wilderness was the unbeIief of
a settled purpose, for had it not
been so, they would have lis
tened to the last appeal of Caleb
and Joshua.
So it is ever with the human
soul. Where unbeIief has been
allowed to set and harden, like
the cement block, there is moth
ing which can soften 1t and
bring it back to the plastic state
again.. No, it cannot be soft
ened, but some day Gods judg-
ment will fall and grind the
hardened heart of unbeIief to
powder. Contemplate this, o
soul. Listen! To-day, II ye
will hear his voice, harden not
your hearts"
There is a wilderness in every
life where graves must be made
and the sins of unbelief buried
out of sight, before the soul can
come into the blessed privilege
of the Promised Land.
Forty years, a year for a day!
A pretty heavy penalty to pay,
and yet 10 not that the ratio
which sin often exacts of the
soul? On every hand we see
the marks of sin which will be
carried down to the very grave.
After all the graves in the will
derness were the only bright
places there, for they spoke of
buried unbeIief, and of the GER
tainty that the Promised Land
lay just beyond its borders.
Graves are to put dead things .
in. An unbelieving heart is a
dead heart, and were better bur- :
led. Yea, bury it, though it be
with tears, and then turn and I
let God give you new heart in :
which burns living hope. Then Z
tears will be turned to sunshine :
and gIadness, and the wilderness Z
will be suddenly transformed Z
into the land flowing with milk (
