Besides that, oveiy morning there is a shower of broad, not sour and soggy, for the rising-of that bread is made ^tsi, and celestial lingers have 1 iin.ven it, and rolled it into balls, light, ; flaky, ami sweet, as though they were crumbs thrown out from a heavenly bouquet. Two batches of bread made every day in the upper mansion?one for those why sit at the table with the king, and the other for the inarch ing Israelites in the wilderness. I do not very much pity the Israe lites for the fact that they had only manna to eat. It was, 1 suppose, the best food ever provided. I know that the ravens brought food to hungry Elijah; but I should not so well have liked those black waiteis. Bather would I havethe facethat came down every morning in the buckets of dew clean, swee t, God-provided edible. But now the Israelites have taken the i..ut I.;* ..r ; a.? i -.-i Utnt irii W?

It tins because the Israe litcs hail arrived iu Canaan, and they smelled the breath of the harvest fields, and the crowded burns of the country were thrown open to them. All the inhabitants had fled, and in the name of the Lord of Hosts the Israelites took posession of every tiling. Well, the threshing floor is cleared, the corn is scattered over it. the oxen are brought around in lazy and perpetual circuit until the corn is trampled loose; then it is winnowed with a fan. and it is ground and it is talked, and. lo! there is enough bread for all the worn out host.

So 1 ipn not sure which kind of grain my text re fers to, but all the same is the mean tng. The bisection of this^suUieyt leads me, first, to speak of especial-J'ilhrf for especial emergency; and, secondly, of the old corn of the gospel for ordinary circumstances.

I would have boon told m the history of the woi3d that if great company of good people started out from Egypt for Canaan, and were never heard of. as thoroughly lost in the wilderness of sand as the City of Boston and the President wet** lost in the wilderness of waters. What use was it to them, there was plenty of corn in Canaan, or plenty of eorn in Egypt' What they wanted was something A i .1* ii i 11 i?> t-iii ligiu mere. wnrrc mere was not so much as a grass blade. In other words, an especial supply for an esjiocial emergency. That is what some of you want. The ordinary comfort. tin* ordinary counsel. <lo not see!a to meet your case.

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 1 am not s|>onking in the abstract, but to the point. You have not whispered it, i>erhupu, to your most intimate friend; but you hoc your home going away gradually from you, and unless things change soon it will bo entirely destroyed Your grief was well depicted by n woman, presiding at a woman's meet iug in Ohio, when her intoxicated husband staggered up to tlio plat form, toher overwhelming mortitica tion and the disturbance of the audience, and she pulled a protrud iug bottle trom her husband's pocket, and held it up before the audience, and cried out, "There h the cause of my woe!

Now the fare is changed Those people in that army uudei forty years of age never seen a corn field, and now, when they hear tin leaves rustling and see the tasseh waving and the billows of green flowing over the plain as a wind touched them, it must have been j new and lively sensation.
