been standing in the, immediate neigh

An Equine Patriareh

There has been recorded in England
the phenomenal case of a horse living
to be SO years old. The Paris papers,
however, report one in the French
capital having reached the patriarchal
age of 43. The animal is a mare pony
bred in Brittany, but passing the
whole of her adult life in Paris. She
has been 26 years in the possession of
her last owner, who used the animal
gently for running light objects about
to theaters. He retired six years ago
and the old pony went with him into
suburban superannuation quarters.
And being kindly man he has made
provision for the old horse to exc out
a comfortable old age independent of
his own life.

Ancient Collins.

The collins of the ancient Egyptians
were made of marble and stone. The
Romans used similar receptacles for
their dead. and Alexander the Great
is said to have been buried in coffin
of solid gold. In parts Of England
glass collins have been found. The
Athenian heroes were buried in collins
made of cedar, owning to it's aromatic
and incorruptible qualities, while the
first record of wooden collins in Eng
land dates back to the days of King
Arthur. This monarch was supposed
to have been buried in the followed
trunk Of gigantic oak tree. Patent
collins were invented in 1895, and
metallic air tight collins were adver-
tised in 1861.

Among the objects that invariably

THE STORY,

! ~ WAS in the days before thew
4 had king in Israel and when
every man was law unto himself,
fhen it was that each family and
each tribe protected its own and each
exacted OF the other an eye for an
eye and tooth for a tooth. In those
days the law of the blood atonement
prevailed in the land, so that if one
should Stay by chance or intent an
other, the one nearest of kin of the
slain person must act as his avenger,
and take the life Of the one who had
caused his death. Needless to saw
that this custom in the case of acct
dental murder wrought its hardship
and injustice, and in order that Just
Ice and mercy might be extended to
the one who, through accident, had
caused, the injury or death of an
other, the Lord directed that cities of
refuge should be appointed whittier

should find a safe shelter.
When Joshua had made known to
the people the mind of the Lord con-
corning this thing, the question arose
as to which cities should be chosen,
and it was finally agreed that six
should be appointed, three on the
east side of Jordan and three on the
west side. Caleb took deep interest
In the matter, and in the council of
the elders which had met to consider
the question he said:
Brethren, thou knowest how, over
40 years ago, when the Lord brought
us to the borders of this land, the
people refused to enter, declaring
hat they were not able to overcome
She giants in the land. And thou
knowest how, since our coming hither
after the long, weary years in the will
derness, that the sons of Anak, whom
our people feared, have been des-
troyed and their city is now among
the possessions of the children of Is
rael. Thou knowest, too, how it was
given to me as heritage and how it
was only after fierce conflict that the
city was taken, so that the stronghold
of our enemies might become an
habitation for orr people. Now, there
fore, because of its location and its
history, I desire that Hebron be
chosen as one OF the cities of refuge"
''What?" they asked, in surprise,
you want to give up Hebron, which
Is SO strong Of location, and cost you

ready reply, and will tell you why. |

SERMONETTE,

. The cities of refuge appoint
. ed under the direction of God
in the land of Canaan were a
; type of the Christ and in some
. particulars exempIify the work
; which Christ performs for the
sinner.
The cities of refuge gave
shelter to the fugitive from the
aVenger of blood. Christ gives
. shelter to the sinner whose ad-
cersary the Devil pursues him
. to the very threshold of the Di-
; vine refuge.
The one fleeing to the city of
refuge was safe until his case
) could be declared and he prove
his right to abide there, for If
; his hands were stained with
the WilIful blood Of another he
; was delivered into the hands of
the aVenger of blood and his
life taken.
The one fleeing to Christ Is
safe until his case is declared.
What right has he there? for
) none who come to that eternal
city OF refuge opened by God
for all the world is without sin.
The adversary, the Devil, comes
up to the very door and makes
his accusations. And what an
accurate accountant he is. How
he can recall the smallest de.
tall Of mans life and paint it
In the blacklist eoIors. How he
can uncover the hidden sins
and show one helpless and un-
done in the presence of the
high priest of the place, Christ
Jesus, the anointed One of God.
But shall the unfaiIing justice
or God cast the sinner forth and
commit him to his just deserts2
Shall sin claim her own and
cast down to hell?
Thank God, Mol For herein
Is the city Of refuge of the Is
raeIites far exceeded in grace
and mercy by the city of refuge
which God hath appointed. No
soul that seeks refuge therein /

Christ within has but to show !
the nailed hands and the spear
wound in his side as token of :
his offering for sin, and Satan, .
the great aVenaer, Is forced to ;
flee.
The cities Of refuge were
equi-distant and easy of access .
from all parts of the land. So
is Christ. He is nigh everyone !
