"And i1h< 111011Ma (eased on the morrow afte1 they had (ite) of the old cori of ih< hand." From a1moig the m1iummi1i1ies o: Egypt, cuad Canaan have been brough grains of corn, exactly like our Indiai corn, and recently planted they hav produced the same kind of corn, wit1 which we are famniliar'. So I am11 no sure which kind of grain my text rt fers to, blut all the same is tihe mearu lng. The bisection of this sublject lead me, ffYrst, to speak of especial relie for especiail einer'gone(y:an d, seconidly of the old corn of the gospel for or dinary circumstances. if these Isr'aelites Ein1 tIc widerness li!l d no ''i''(lll'c heavenly ba)keries, thler rst, have bceeni a long linee dea (tohldrenc half buried ini ihe sando then, there would have beeni a lon; line of (lead women wait ing for th jackals: theic, thlec'e would have bee; a long line of dead men uniburied because thier'e wou(5ld have been n, one bury theum.

"Like as a father E 'pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth then that fear Him." "Can a woman forgot her sucking child, that she should not have compassion ti on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.'" Or is it the grief of a dissipated companion? There are those here who have it, so I am not speaking in the abstract, but to the point. You have not whispered it, perhaps, to your most inbinato friend; but you see your home going away gradually from you, and unless things change soon it will be entirely destroyed. Your grief was well depicted by a woman, presiding at a woman's meet ing in Ohio, whenl her intoxicated husband staggered up to the plat form, to her overwhelming mortifica tion and the disturbance of the audience, and she pulled at protrud ng bottle from her husband's pocket. and held it up before the a1udienlce, and cried out, "There is the cause of my woe! There are the tears and the life-blood of a drunk ard's wife!" And then,looking up to hilven, she said, "How long, 0 Lord! how long?" and then, looking down to the audience, cried, "Do you von der I feel strongly on this subject? Sisters, will you help me?" and hun dreds of voices responded, -Yes, yes, we will help you.' After fourteen thousand six hun, dred (onsecutive days of falling manna---Sundays excepted-the man Ia ceased. SoIme of them were glad of it. You know they had eoniplain ed to their leader, and wondered that t!imt they had to eat. imianna instead of onions. Now the fare is changed. Those people in that arly under forty years of age never seen a corn field, and now, 'len they hear the leaves rustling aufnd see the tassels wIIviNg an(d the billows of green flowinlg OvNer the Plail as a wind touched theiml, it m1u'1t have beenl a Wew and lively sensation. "Corn!" Vried the old man as he opened an ear. -Corn!" (ried the children as theIy counted the shinning graiis. -oi-1!", shouted the vanguard of the host., as thy burst open thlk graneries ot t1m affrighited population, the nmeries that had belen left in the 1)()ssession of the victorious Isreal ites. Then the fire was kindled, and thw vars of corn were thrust in it, aInd. fresh and crisp and tender, wee devoured of the hungry victors and b jread was prepared, and many tiings that call be iade out of flour regaled the appet'ites that had been sharpen ed by the long march. "And the manna ceased on the morrow after they hal vaten of the old corn of the land. The infid-l scientists of this day are ofilrig us a different, kind of soul food: but, they are, of all mllenl, tlie ost mniserable. I have knowi mIlaiy of themil, but. I never know one of them who camne withii a thousaild miles of beiig hklappy. The great Johlnl Stuart Mill provided for himll selIf a new kind of porridge: but yet, when lIe collies to die, lie ackiowled ges that his philosophy never gave hiun any comfort in days of bereave ment, and in a roundih..,out way lie iadmits that his life wvas a failure. So t~ it is wvith all scientists. They are irying to live oni telescopes and en bles anid priotop)lasms, and t urn3ydharmge uswith cnt, niot gd1,ijig that there is no suelt 1Pd;Erable cant in all the w ~orl (.'s this perpetual talk we aire mi.J<1g about "positive philosophy" and thme "absolute," and the "great to be," and "the everlasting no," and e' "thle highier unity," and "the latent p1lotentiaities," andl "the cathedral of C thme inunenisities." I have been trans hat ing what these men have beeni writing, and I have beeni translating what these men have b)een doing, and I will tell you wh'lnt it all means 1-it means that they wvant to kill God! And myi only wconder is that God 3 has nmot killed thieni.

If so, let us take His nam out of our Bible, and let us with per and ink erase that name wherever wt see it. Let us cast it out of oui hymnology, and lot "There is a Foun tam" and "Rock of Ages" go int forgetfulness. Lot us tear down th< co.mmunion table where we celebrat( His love. Let us dash down th< baptismal bowl where we were conse crated to Him. Lot us hurl Josmt from our heart, and ask some othei hero to come in. Let us say, "Gt away, Jesus; I want another friend another companion than thou art. Could you do it ? The years of you past life, aged mai, would utter f protest against it, and the graves oj your Christian dead would charg< you with being an ingrate, and youi little grandchildren would say "Grandfather don't do that, Jesus it the one to whoin we say our prayer at night, and who in to opett heavet w"'hen we die. Grandfather, don't d< that." Tired of Jesus ? The Bur gundy rose you pluck from the gar den is not so fresh and fair and beau tiful. Tired of Jesus? As well ge weary of the spring morning, and th< voices of the mountain runiiel, anu the quiet of your own home, and th< gladness of your own childaen. Je sis is bread, and the appetite foi that is never obliterated. I notice, in regard to this article o: food, you take it three times a day It is on your table morning, nooi and night; and if it is forgotten, yot say, "Where is the bread?" Just so certainly you need Jesus three time a day. Oh, do not start out withoul Hi ; do not dare go out the froni door ; do not dare go off the fron the front steps, without having firsi conununed with Him! Before noo there may be perils that will destro3 body, mind and soul forever.

But oh, On t,e lauinehing of every day, that we might strike against it aLt least one earnest prayer for divine protection ! That would not be superstion; that would bc Christian. Then at the apex of the day, at th( tiptop of the0iours, equidistant fron:a morniog anid night, look three ways Look backward to ihe forenoon; look ahead to tile aftelIoonl: look lup t that Savior who presides over all. You wiant bread at noonl.

This is the nutriment and life o the plain gospel that I reconmmemi ye i. I do not know how seome o our ministers make it so intricati and elaborate and mystifying a thing It seems as if they had a sort, of nmn grelism in religion-part humnanitari anism, part spiritualism, part noth mlgariamism:l anid:siometimnes you t*hinil they are building their temp1le out o the "Rock of Ages," but you lini there is no rock iln it at all.

D)o not talk to me about a man be ing doubtful about the doctrines of gra(ce. He is not ldabt fuli to me at all. Broad( is bread, andii I knowv it the moimnt I see it. I had a corn field which I cultured with my~ own hiand. I dlid nmot aisk onice in all the sulmlmer, "1s this corn?' I did niot hunt up tihe Agricutltuaralist to get ai p)ict ure of corn. 1 was born in sight of a corn field, and I knowv all about it. When these Israelites came to Canaan and looked off upontile fields, the cry was "Corn! corn!" And if ai man has once tasted of this heavenly bread, lie knowvs it right awvay. lHe can tell this corn of the gosp)el Canaan from "the chaff wvhich the wind driveth away." I bless God so many have found this gospel corn. It is the bread of which if a man eat he shall never hunger. I set tihe gladness of your soul to the tunes of "Ariel" and 'Antioch." I ring the wedding bell, for Chlrist and your souls are married, md there is no power on earthl 0r inl hc'll to get out letters of divorce mlenit. But, alas for the famine-struck! Enough corn, yet it seems you have no sickle to cut it, no mill to grind it, no fire to bake it, no appetite to eat it. Starving to death when the p lain is golden with a magnificent harvest.
