I A TIMELY DISCOURSE In Which the Need of Patience and Equipoise Is Set Forth, Moving Inlto the Father's House. This discourse of Dr. Talrcage is pertinent at this time of year when many people are moving from house to house, and it teaches lessons of paticnce and equipoise in very trying circumstances; tcit, Philippians iv, 12, "I know both how to be abased, ana I know how to abound." Happy Paul! Could you really accommodate yourslf to all circumstances in life ? Could you go up without pride, and could you come down without exas pcration? Teach the same lesson to us *11. We are at a season of the year when vast DODulations in all our cities are changing residence. Having been born in a house, and having all our lives lived in a house, we do not have full appreciation of what a house is. It is the growth of thousands of years. The human race first lived in clefts of rocks, the beasts of the field moving out of -?^ the caverns to let the human race-move in. The shepherds and the robbers still live in caverns of the earth. The troglodytes are a race which to this day prefer the caverns to a house. They are warm, they are large, thev are very comfortable, they are less subject to violent changes of heat and cold. We come on along down in the history of the race, and we ceme to the lodge, which was a home built out of twisted tree branches. We come further on down in the history of ths race, and we come to the tent, which was a home built with a round pole ia the center and skins of animals reaching out in all directions, mats on the floor for the people to sit on. Time passed on, and the world, after much invention, came to build a house, which was a space sorreunded by broad stones, against which the earth was heaped fiom the outside. The roof I -3- -1 J I ' was maue ui untax. auu gypouiu <a^u. coals and stones and ashes pounded together. After awhile the porch was born, after awhile the gate. Then hundreds of years passed on, and in the fourteenth century the modern chimney was constructed. The old Hebrews had openings in their houses from which the smoke might escape if it pre- ; ferred, but there was no inducement | offered for it to leave until the modern TTr?J? t. , umuiaoy. tyuuvcu &c/o v|/cucu door, or the keyhole wa3 large enough to allow the finger to be inserted for the lifting of the latoh or the sliding of it. There being no windows, the people were dependent for light upon latticework, over which a thin veil was drawn down in time of winter to keep ont the elements. Window glass was, so late as two or three hundred years 8go, in England and Scotland so great a luxury that only the very wealthiest could ? -1 2 a a 1 j ill j j anora 1U xx uauu uuu axiu an uvea auu a few leathern bottles and some rude pitchers and plates made up the entire ?equipment of the culinary department But the home planted in the old cave or at the foot of a tent pole has grown and enlarged and spread abroad untii we have the modern house, with its branches and roots and vast girth and height and depth of comfort and accommodation. Thank God for your home?not : merely the house you live in now, but j the house you were born in and the ! many houses you have resided in since you began your earthly residence. When you go home today, count ever the number of those houses in which ~ ^ you have resided, and you will be surprised. Once in awhile you will find a man who lives in the house where he was born and where his father was born and his grandfather was born and his great-grandfather was born, but that is not one ont of a thousand cases. I have not been more perambulator than snost people, bui I was amazed when I came to coant up the number of residences I have occupied, The fact is, there is in this world no sneh thing as permanent residence. From some houses the people ha T been shaken out by chills and fever 1 - t xl 1.3 L I xrom some nouses cney naa gone csecanse death or misfortune had occurred, and all those palaces and mansions had either changed occupants or wanted to change.

Aye, instead of ! bsiQg nomadio it is immortal, moving on and moving on. We whip up our ; horses and hasten on until the hub of the front wheel shivers on the tomb- ; stone and tip3 us headlong into the ' grave, the only permanent earthly resi- ] dence.
