The best land for corn ia an old pea

admitting OF one field of corn to be

To the heart of the devout prophet
the sight brought but one feeling. that

Gould it be that the temple was
ever TO be cOmpleted?' he asked him
self, and then by way of answer shook
his head in a detected way, while the
tears filed his eyes and a sigh burst
from his lips.
Fifteen years before he had been
among the colonists who had returned
to Jerusalem from the captivity in
Babylon and had hopefully begun the
building of the city and the tempIe
And while the enthusiasm lasted the
work went on splendidly. The CITY
began to take on something of its
old-time activity. The people rebuilt
their homes and the ruins OF the
temple had been partially cleared
away and the foundation OF a new
structure begun.
Then had come the check in the
work caused by the Jealous samari.

SERMONETTE.


Those who We grown cold
In tho Lords service can al
ways see the difficulties In the
way to hinder further progress.
Gods people are too prone to
say a needful work cannot be
done, and rest content In the
ease Of the present condition.
There were the foundation
walls Of the temple Just as they
had been left II years before
when the work had been
stopped, and the Jewish colony
had come to believe that the
building would never be COM
pleted. at can't be DONE" they
said.
IL was at such time as that
that God spake, Gliding them for
wicked indifference to religious
obligations, and commanding
them, "Consider your ways"
This Is a warning as we'll as
an appeal, and comes with equal
force to Gods people to-day as
in the days of Hageai when the
prophet delivered the Lords
message and sought to arouse
the people to fulfiIIment of
their obligations to him.
"Consider your ways"
Whittier do they trend?

lives which have embarked on
the sea of Gods purposes and
are bound for the sure harbor of
eternal realization.
