Texts "AMiln with tin, for It la toward evonlng,"? I?uko xxlv,, 20. Two villagers, having concluded thoir erramHn Jerusalem, havo started nut at tho city gafo and are on t hoi r way to Kmuiaus, tho nlnoo of thoir rosblonoe. They go with a eudiioart. Jesus, who hn<t been thoir ad* miration atnl their J^y, had boon basely nmssaorod and ontomhoil. Am, With sad face and broken heart, tlioy pass on their way a stranger accosts thorn. / Thoy (nil lllm Iholr anxieties and htttornusft of soul. Ho in turn talks to thorn, mightily expounding tho Morlpturoa. Ho throwsover them Ihefusolna jtlon of Intolltgont conversation. Thoy for got tho tlmo and notice not tho objects thoy pass, and before thoy aro awaro havo como up lu front of iholr house. Thoy pause bu foro tho ontraneo and attempt to porsuado the Ptrangor to tarry with thorn. Thoy pross upon il!m thoir hospltulltlos. Night laootrjlng on, and IIo may moot a prowling wlhl boimt or bo obllgod to llo unaheltered from tho view. Ho cannot go much farthor now. Wliy not stop thoro and i;ontinuo their pleasant conversation? Thoy tako Him by tho arm, ami thoy Insist upon His coming In, address ing Hlin In tho words, "Abldo with us, for it is toward evening," Thocandlosaro lighted; lbolat>lo Issprcadj ileasanl soolalilios aro onklndlod. Thoy ro olco In tho prosigleo oi tho stranger guest. Ho iv*ks a hlossfhg upon t ho bread thoy vat, and Ho hands a piece of it tooaoh. .Suddenly and with ovorwbnlrnlng power tho thought Slashes upon tho astonished people- It Is t|io fgrnll And as thoy git in breathless wonder, looking upon tho resurrected body ??f Jesus, Ho vnnlshod. Tho Interview ended, Ho was go no. With many of ui It I* n bright, sunshiny day of prosperity. 1'horo is not a oloud in thosky; not a leaf rustling In tho forest; n > chill In tho air. liut wo cannot oxpoot all this to last, llo Is not an intelligent lit ?i n who expects porpotrial daylight of joy, '| ho sun will after awhllo near tho hori/.on. The shadows will lengthen. Whilo (speak mauy of us stand In tho very hour described in tho text, "for it is toward ovonlng." Tho re quest of tho text l.s appropriate for some bo foro mo for with them it Istoward thoovon ing of o|d age, Thoy havo passed the meridian of life. They are somoti inos startled lo think how old thoy are. They do not, however, llko to havo oljiors remark upon it. If others sug gost Iholr approximation toward vonomblo appearance, thoy nay, "Why, I'm not h> old, alter all." Thoy do, Indeed, notice that thoy cannot lift quite no much n? once, Thoy cannot walk qullo so fast. They cannot road quite so well without spectacles. They cannot so easily roeover from a cough or any occasional ailment. Thoy havo lost tholr taste for i#errliuont. They arosur prised at tho quick passago of tho year. Thoy say that It only seems a lilllo whilo ngo that thoy were boys. Thoy are going a little down bill. There Ih something in their health, snnothlng in thoir vision, something in thoir walk, something In their changing associations, somcthlui; above, something beneath, somothlng within, to remind them that it is toward ovonlng. Tho great want of all modi is to have Jesus abldo with thorn. It is a dismal thing to ho getting old without tho rejuvenating inllu onoo of religion. When wostepon the down grade of life and see that It dips to the verge of tho cold rlvor. wo want t o heli old Homo ono noar who will help us across it. Wlnm tho sl^ht loses Ms power to glance mid gather no, wo need tho faith that can illuminate. When wo fcol tho falluro of the oar, we need tho olohr tones of t hat voice, which In olden times broko up tho silence of I ho deaf with eadonco of moroy. When the nxinon of death how down wholo forests of .strength and beauty around us and wo are left In soli t lido, wo need tho dovo of diviuu inurey to slug lu our biaoohes. Whon tho shadows bog In to fall and wo I col that the day is far spent, wouced most of all to supplicate the strong boncllflont Jesus In t he prayer of thn villagers. "Abldo with us, for It Is toward ovonlng. Tho reijuest of t he text is an appropriate exulamal ion for al 1 t lioso w h<;> ai e a pproached in tlio gloomy hour of temptation. There Is nothing easier than to bo good nil urod when everything pleases, or to bo hiunhlo when there Is nothing to oppose us, or forgiving whon wo navo not boon nssalled, or honest wlion wo have no Imluoomont to fraud./ Hut you havo felt tho grapple of somo tjCnpta tion.

Tiro flr.st imlicationsof thenl^ht wore seen in all the trembling of your sou', in all the Infernal nuggest Ions of Hatnn, in all tho surging up of tumultuous passions and oxcilemenls. You fell with awful em phasis that It was toward evening. In t)i<? tempted hour you need to ns!< Jesus to abide with you. You can beat hack the mon ster that would devour you. You can un horse the tin that would ride you down. You can sharpen tho hattleax with which voti split tho head of hebn^to-l abomination.
