happiness during warm weather only.
At the approach of fall it was neces-

of friends followed the young turtle

walls utterly devoid of artistic beauty
and as innocent Of modern con-

voices approaching and the laughter
OF children. A gentleman entered,
two little girls clinging to his hands.
She knew him instantly. He stood
for a moment, head erect, and glanced
swiftly round the room. Then he
bent down and whispered something
to one of the children. After a mo.

SERMONETTE,

SEKMONE ! | E.
In this story of AbimeIech we
have striking Illustration of
. the evils resultant from the
poIyuamous marriage practices
; which had grown up in Israel
through the communicating in.
fuences of the heather nations
, about.
Envy, Jealousy, hatred found
/. rich soil in which to grow, and
the awful crime which the viii
!. lain of our story committed is
but the natural fruitage Of such
. seed. It was but natural chat
the sons of different mothers
. should be az variance with one
another; especially so with Alb
. imeIech. who was evidently
looked down upon and despised
by the other 70 sons whose
!. mothers walked in a higher So
ciaI and moral sphere than did
the mother of the former.
How much of the evil of the
world enters through the door
of the home. If its>atmosphere
is not pure and clean; if the
sacred relationship Of husband
. and wife are lightly considered;
if the social and business cares
and the pursuit of pleasure are
allowed to absorb ones thought
and time and sap the vitality of
the home life, what can be ex.
. pected Of the young men and
young women who are reared
! in such homes?
We have not the poIyeamy of
the long ago as canker in the
moral life of the nation, but
have we not something which
!. is more insidious and more dan
gerous, the growing divorce
evil? God pity the nation whose
I home life becomes tainted
with moral decay and ire.
Iigion.
. Again in this story Of Anime
Iech we find illustration of the
!. inevitable outworking of every
evil life. Evil may seem to
! flourish like a green bay tree
for time, but never since the
! world began has evil been able
/ to escape its final doom. Not

but forcibIy emphasizes the
|. truth of the Scriptural decIara.

ted in the narroWness of his
|. own evil heart, his vision did
: not reach beyond the present
/ advantage, his ambition grasped
: a feeting power and glory, with
. never thought of what lay be-
You'd. He began with the sword
! and he died by the sword. He
left the true God out Of his
! reckoning, and sped on the
way to destruction. The cry of
! lothian from Mount Gerizim
against the evil course of Alb
inelech comes ringing down
the ages as Gods unaIterabIe
judgment upon evil. For the
!. Abimelechs of evil and those
who make alliance with them
there can be but one warning
note of judgment. Fire shall
come out from Abimelech and
deVour the men of Shechem,
and fire will come out of the
house of Shechem and devour
Ablmelech. Evil is seIf-destruc-
tive, it works its own ruin, it
feeds on elements that event
uaIiy react to its undoing.
