Forethought.

Nothing is accomplished without fore
sight and preparation, so men are con-
tinually looking ahead. 1t is forethlnkins
that makes the captains of industry, the
statesmen, the scholars and the proficient
in every line of life. Forethinking is
the minds long look ahead.
The farmer plants his crops only be-
cause he is looking ahead for the har-
vest. The wise and prudent insure their
houses, because they foresee the danger
of loss by fire. All are working to pro-
vide against or overcome dangers which
are ahead
This is wise. No one should allow any
of his temporal interests to go without
thought and preparation for the contin-
gencies which may arise. But that is
not the main thought of our theme.
The scriptural selection on which the
topic is based deals entirely upon the
far more important necessity for fore
sight and preparation in its bearing upon
mans immortality. II men are eau
tious and careful to provide against the
dangers in this life, why should they
not much more look ahead and prepare
for the continued existence beyond the
grave

The Inviting Prospect.

Having an eye to heaven the be-
lever sees in his forward look and con-
temptation the entrance into d better
state. Here he is in the midst of i'm
purity. trial, suffering and sadness; there
he will find purity, victory and freedom
from pain and sorrow.
Here he tolls for daily bread, struggles
for knowledge. wrestles for moral strength;
there his occupations will be congenal,
invigorating and delightful. Here he min
giles with society that is often insincere.
ignorant and unloving; there he will meet
only the sincere, the enlightened, the
warm-hearted. He will be in the COM
pany of that innumerable throng of spir-
it's of just men made perfect.
We can have only faint conceptions OF
heavens society. To be in the presence
of angels, archansels seraphim and
cherubim is in some measure meaning
less to us, but is suggestive of something
splendid and enchanting. We grasp a lit
tie more clearly the thought of seeing
Him who was once among men in His
exaltation, and we can understand some
thing of what is meant by God Wlplng
away all tears from our eyes.
We do not know what 1t is ike, but
We know enough from revelation and the
Spirits movings in awakened Souls ina
it is something transcendently glorious
What must it be to be there? is the
yearning thought in the hearts of those
who indulge in a long look ahead
We speak of the realms of the blesf
That country so fright and so fair
And oft its glOries confessed
But what must 1t be TO be there:
We speak of it's service OF love,
The robes which the Sorihed wear;
The church of the first born above
But what must 1t be to be there?
If your hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus blood and righteousness. you
will ere long know. for you will be there

Disappointed Disciples.

In the opening verse of our study Luke
has given us the most valuable portrayal
that we have of the feelings of the fol-
lowers of Jesus between the burial and
demonstration to them of the fact that
He had risen. The disciples had never
dreamed of even the possibility that such
an event would happen, but after His
death and burial we find them filled with
sorrow because their hopes have been
destroyed by the death of the one who
won them by His personality and held
them amid the almost continuous oppo-
sition for the last two years of His life
and labor by the bonds Of affection.
They thought and spoke only OF Him
who they had hoped would redeem
israel, Wherever. whenever the dis
ciples and followers of Jesus met during
the period that elapsed after HIS cruel
fixion and burial the Master whom they
loved. was the theme of their conver-
sation. Some of them had tried to help

mother of our Lord, in her great grief,
