As there is ;i tiinity ot persons iii thc Godhead, so there is a trinity of graces in the christian soul. The personalities ol the Godhead are coequal, the christian graces are not. Hut jove, or charity is ! the g rea tesl. When St. Paul enum?rales these three cardinal graces he does not mean to state that these are all, nor to contradict him? self, when in another place he enumer ates no less than eight. Hut as in nature there are various tints and shades which are but modifications and combinations ol' thc three primary colors of lights, so in religions all soul beauty and soul excellence; are resolva ble ?mo these three graces. I. Let us inquire in what sense love is the greatest. lt is the greatest because it embraces all other graces. If we anali/e the rela tion which these graces sustain to each other, we will find that love is not only thc natural outcome of the two former, bul that it e m braces both iii its own activity. For belief in an object or a hope ol its appropriation is essential lo love. A net snit may have faith without hope. The devils believe and tremble. Hut hope without taith is impossible, tor I cannot expect tn receive those things in which I do not believe. Hut if, I have love I have both faith and hopi:, necessarily, for how can 1 love that in which 1 do not believe? And as for hope, love already appropri ais thal which hope dimly apprehended, ll ll is the grcatesi, because it is all con quering as respects the vices. lt conquers envy-"it envielh not." It conquers ostentation-"it vaunteth not itsell." lt conquers pride-"it is not puffed up," lt conquers bud manners "it doth not behave itselt unseemly." lt conquers selfishness- "she seekelh not her own." lt conqers an?/er-~"it is not easily provoked." li conquers suspiciousness, "it tbinkelh no evil." It conquers malev olence, "it rejoicclh not in iniquity." One of the Apostles tells us that it "covers a multitude of sins." It is like the snow that throws its while mantle over the deformities of the earth, Charity indeed is all conquering-before her im? peria) sway the whole ugly brood of man's vices bow their haughty necks and "pass under the rod." 111. Love is all pi.rradintj, therefore greatest We are accustomed to think that great which is unique, isolated-set apart in solitary g ra mle ur. Must. We have looked upon some massive peak lowering heavenward, and we have thought how stupendous ! how grand ! Hut what is it compared io. the earth upon w hich we stand ? We have stood by some great cataract and have exclaimed, "how wonder I ttl ! forgetful of the too common truih that in these few days ol Spring more waler has been lilted by the silent torces of nature into the vegetable kingdom, than rushes over Niagara in one year. You have beheld the lightning in fear ful darts across the heavens, but what is lightning, when compared to the all pervading light of the Universe-, There is more greatness in si m pl , dis interested love than in any oilier achieve ment that stands emblazoned upon the pages of history. Elizabeth 11 ry, F. K. Navergal, Liv ingstone, (bordon, and men and women like them are the truly great, These are heroes and heroines whose names stand as the landmarks of their country's glory. IV. Charity is greatest, because wholly unselfish, The Apostle compares it with knowledge. "Knowledge puffeth up, but Charity ediheth." Knowedge pulls up, Charity builds up. What a striking comparison ! Mow trite, tor what is all knowledge but an expansion of self ? Charity anihilates self and lays a secure foundation and builds a structure there on which neither time nor eternity shall demolish! Faith and hope are more or less taint ed with selfishness. Our chiefest mo li ye in believing and hoping is that our own salvation may be accomplished. Hut while Faith and Hope regard principally our own good, Love delights in benefit ting others. I'aili) and Mope bring healing and consolation to our own hearts ; Love pours oil and wine into our brother's wounds. Faith and Mope receive con tinually, and cries out for larger and fuller blessings. Love like the Sun gives old- Faith and Hope may in some mea sure be shut in, Love may be shut out, bm never shin in. II. Mst. The student continually gathers knowleege, but he brightens his own treasures by giving out what he receives. Love is practical uhristianiti/. Faith and Mope arc the two hands that appropriate, Love is thc swill winged messenger which scatters blessings broad cast over the earth. At this point Air. Daniel, find ing his sermon too long, promised to concltulo tho annie with tho ovening Bcrinon. KV V. N 1 N ti 8 K lt M O N. The supremacy of love is seen in it? Uod-likonos*. God Olin 1101 hove faith, because Ile is Omniscient. God cannot have hope he cause hope is based on iiuih alone. But "(lon is I.OVK." Faith anil hope tire the. silver winged messengers thai follow man through life, but are buried willi him in the tomb. Hm love accompanies him into the press once ol'Cbd and becomes to him I brough all eternity a stream ol' never ceasing .011 solalion.

In those days of advanced meehan ism, even greater marvels in minim ure have been achieved, but never has MI much meaning been coniprossod in so small a space as in th/it famous little word so. lied's love is infinite, and wc may become participants of that love. 11'an Angel ?ere lo Hy with such speed not calculated save m tho arithmotlu ni heaven, over thc earth on a Summer morning while tho dew drops ol heaven lofted on i he Howe) 8, and were he to anther ilia Howers from every garden, tho lovoliost the sweetest Howers, and ar* ratige; them with ti skill known only to celestial Icings, and thou place them be fore our gusto how enrapturing would bo tho sight.

Hope shall die. faith shall perish, earthly knnwkd^o shall be no more, but love is a Untrer which shall bloom through all eternity, and lill the boundless realms ol' heaven with its fragrance. How hound less tho theme! We cannot comprehend it, but as thc tiniest fish that sports in the waters of ibo ocean, unconscious ol its vast dimensions. Sc weean dwell in Clod's love, and in return love Him with all our hearts. So, let us carry our mind.- upward beyond all earthly power and nlory-bc youd all of man's attainments upward beyond the dignity of angels and ?uk an gels, even up io the throne of Olm y il soll', and look upon thc uncreated Majesty of Him who sits I hereon, and let us real izo that throng' love it is our privilege to hocoino participants of His (??vine nature A legend of St. John says that when he grew loo old and feeble lo walk to the I ohuroh, he was horno there by members ol his church, and when he was placed in their mitist, lu would hold lip his hands and exclaim, "Love one another." And when asked why ho over said the same thing, he replied "because there is not tl lng else; attain that and you havo enough." This accords with the commandment "Thou shalt Move the lord thy (?od. with all I hy heart, and with all thy soul and willi all ihv mind and with all thy slrongth."

Ono was tho di rect road to Canaan. But tins wns full of danger, for llmnsos II, who ls supposed to buvo been tho king from whom ho lied, had a treaty with tho Hittites afc leust which de manded tho delivering up of any fugitives Who might seek to escap? from Egypt. Moses tUbrefoi'6, as many yours hitor, took a south erly ronlo to tho land of Malian, which is commonly supposed tobnvo been situated east of tho EiuUitiu Oulf, although thu Midkin in tended hero must bavo been in tho southern and eastern part of tho Siuuitie peninsula. There through bis politeness to tho daughters of tho priest of Midiun, who, like tho daugh ters of th? 1 .Ciioiiiii of to-day, wero pasturing their rather's Hocks, be becamo son-in-law ol' Jethro. This experience of Moses wns an important patt of O oil's plan. Moses needed a different kind of training from that which bo bad had at tho court of Pharaoh. That training bo wns to recoiyo iii tho awful solitudes of tho wilderness through which ho wns to conduct God's chosen people. Afc tho timo ho lied from Egypt they wero nob ready for deliver ance. Nor wns tho timo ripe. Ino most; powerful of tho Pharaohs, if wo may bolievo tho concurrent testimony of Egyptian schol ars, thou sat on tho throne. Tho limo for tho exodus was to come during tho deendonco of the Egyptian power under Mernephtab. God's providential loading was thus manifest afc evory stage of Moses' life. After long years had elapsed tho glorious r???u of King Rut uses II carno to an end. Ho was followed by his thirteenth son, Mornoph tah. God hoard tho groaning of Iiis people, and remembered his covenant wdth Abraham, Isaac und Jacob. TUM I.E8SON. Moses uiul His Plonk (v. 1)-Moses was still keoplng tho (lock ol* bis fnthor-in-hiw, Jethro. It li probable that it in tho enthusiasm of early manhood ho bad thought ho could de liver bis people, ho bad haig since roi 111 cpi'ulicd that hope. At God's chosen time ho loads bis Hock to the buck part of tho wilder ness, to Ibo mountain, which in subsequent hi.i'ory t aino to bo known nv t'io mountain of Gtd. which was then known ns Horeb, nud in otl&r passages us binai, which Bahner holds wns]lho sumo as Jebel Musa. Ttjo Binning Bus.li (v. ii)-While lhere tho anjal of Jehovah, who is known in Now Test am|ni lunguaere as tho Son of God, appeared t -''-iii in a llamo of bro out of tho midst of c,>voii>.ir.' He'-dld not Recognizei'ut Hist'who it warf, but ho wns amazed to seo n thorn hush on Hiv which was nob consumed. Tho mani festation bf God by Ino is a favorito symbol in tho Gld Testament. Perhaps it is difficult to ho mi c of tho typical signification intended hon- ty tho appearance in Iho bush, V, At Hist Moses' curiosity was simply aroused. Ho snid "I will t urn asido und seo this grout sight-why tho bush is not. cou su med." Vs. 'I, fi. As bo turned ho found Hint it w..s not merely a natural manifestation, but God himself called to him out, of the midst of tho bush, and bado him biko bis sandals off his feet , because tho ground on which ho was standing was holy. To uncover tho feet was ii sign ol' reverence in {ho east, mid still ls to day of something tho same sort ns uncovering the bend with us. V. H. God then proclnimed himself ns tho God ot' hi i "father," used in a collective senso of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Moses was afraid, when ho understood that it was God himself, to look on tho thorn bush, partly, jiorhnps, from n sonso of bis unworthiness and partly liecauso ho might bavo folt that ho could not behold God and llvo. God Itemembors His People (vs. 7-'.))-God bad not been unmindful of his peoplo. Evory blow that had fallen from tho lash of tho Egyptian taskmaster, and ovory cry thatthoy bad lifted up, hail boon marked by bim and had touched his heart. Speaking as a niau, so that Moses and his peoplo might understand him, ho says that he lins como down to deliver thom from tho hands of the Egyptians and bring thom into n good and hugo country Howhig with milk and houoy. Tho country of Palestine, which is not much lin ger than tho stnto of Now Hamp shire, would bo a small country to us, tint in comparison with tho land of Goshen, only pai'l ol' which thoy occupied, or oven of the upper part, of Egypt itself, which ombraccs only the valley of tho Nile, which is nob more than ReVen miles wide, lb would seem toi? a wide country. According to tho testimony of othor ancient writers it was a vory fruit ful country, and might woll bo spoken of, in a figurativo senso, as flowing with milk and boney. The ('aniianltes-Tho nations boro men tioned uro only a part of those sometimes enumerated. Wo know from modern inves tigations that tho Hit tites wero a vory power ful people, who resisted Ramses II for years, and who finally inndo a treaty of poaeo with bim on equal torms. Tho torin Canaanites, which literally means lowlanders, is somit times used of ono people, ns boro, sometimes us embracing all tho other peoples. Human Instruments (vs 10, ll)-Although God has infinito power, whoa ho lins a work to do bo uses human instruments. This is tho law of his kingdom. Ho thoreforo bids Moses bring forth tho peoplo of Israel out of Egypt. Moses shrinks from tho responsibil ity, liku ovory groafc soul who is worthy of one. Although ho mny once bavo folt ns though ho might holp bis people, bo no longer feels tho strength or ambition for such a re sponsible placo. His long residence in tho wilderness onuses bim to shrink from contact with tho proud monarch of Egypt, and it scorned to him impossible that ho should bo able lo wrest his people from tho powerful grasp of Mich a king. V. Bi. Moses' cstimnto of his own ability for such an important mission was corroct. Unaided by God hu was simply ri rough shep herd of tho wilderness, without Inlluenco ami without resources; but whon God promised, "Certainly I will bo with theo," ho lind om inpotent, power nt bis back, and was equal to anything. God promises him as a sign that when ho brings forth tho jiooplo out of Egypt they shall worship God on that mountain. l'OINTfl TO INC ll KM KM II KU Kl). 1.

Thc com men ce ment of 1.887 ought to bc looked for ward to with unusual interest by all those who have felt and seen the happy iniluonces, both religious and literary, which this honored institution of the ?South has had on her people. Only fifty years of her life have passed away, yet many are the worthy sons who have gone from her fostering care during this period, and have honored her name whereever they have been called by their fidelity to truth and right, ls it nottimenow for thom all to be gathered back to their Alma Mater in one grand reunion, to cele brate the achievements of the past and lo stimulate all to still greater achieve ments in the future ? Let all the sons of this beloved institution return here next June to do her honor anti ex change fraternal greetings with com panions long separated. Many of our esteemed comrades cannot return to greet us herc it is true, for some of thom have long since passed away and are waiting to greet us on a happier shore. They have, wo hope, joined that grand assembly where there will bo no more parting. But is it not right that we should meet here and enjoy this occasion, even if we cannot have ni ll our companions with uS? Besides, tho exchange of many hearty greetings with those present, it will call up many happy scenes we have had with those who cannot meet with us, many pleasant recollections of the past.
