This Life Ouv Pirat and Last Journey Through thia World. u \u_eooOvEo is a mgat unusual pro atioif of things that tako phoc io many livos, and Dr. Talinsgc ploads for moroiful interpretation of human ta havior. Tho text is Joshua iii, 4, "Yo havo-not passod thia way horotoforo " lu Dooomlior. 1889, I waded tho river Jordan ?nd, although tho current was strong, I was eblo to bear up against it. but in tho timo of spring froshot, whon tho BUOWS on Mount Libanon molt, nothing but a miraolo would rn~ ablo any ono to SVOBB this rivor. It wea at tho dengorous springtimo th*t Joshua and tho om corn of his army i uttered tho words of roy text to tho pcoplo who wore in a f ow hours to cross tho Jordan. Abtut that ovosuing, v?o say but little, beoauco on a previous ooo&sion wo diooouruod concerning that' piling up of tho waters into oryetal barricido. Wo only npoek of tho muroh to tho brink of thc river. No etvaugor thing has ovor unwired iu all Mdtory. Tho erk of tho oovon?ut w?s s. bril liant chest of aosoia wood, ovorl^id with gold, on tho top of whioh were two wiugod figures racing eabh eMicr. lt was fivo foot tong and throo fojt wide Polos were thrust fchrou?h tho ringa n\ tho sic-o. at'd by tho folks the ark w?3 lifted. Thin splondid box wanto bo oarriod throo quarters of a milo aho^d of tho hosts of Israol on the way to tho crossing. That dietanoa botween tho box and tho advancing thousands mutt bo kopt becauso of rovororoe. Th oro was a sanotity in that divino symbol that they must observo by kooping throo-quarters of a milo away. Thoy j must watoh that glittering box and fol low, otherwise thoy would loso thoir way and not errivo at tho right ph-oo for orosBing. They had never ooen ibero beforo, end they must be guided. For that reason, J oshua u it ora the *? words of my.text, "Y'j have not pusasd this way ho;ctoforo," and tho subordi nate offloors at tho hcr.d of thowgiroouk repeated it. " Yo hayo not passed this way herotofore." What w*o truthfully said of tho on oiont Israolitos may bo truthfully eaid of us. We aro making our first u?d last journoy through this world, it is possible, as aomo of my good friendo bo liovo, that this world will bo corrected and improvod and puridad and floralin od and emparadised as to oliwate and soil and character until it shall bo oomo a heaven for tho ransomed, hui 1 do not think it. I have an idea ?hat hoavon is already built somewhere. Our departed friend* could not wait un til this world is fixed up for saintly ar.d angelio reaideuoo. Having onco go?o out of tho world, ldo not think WA will oomo bsok, except as ministering spirits to help thone who romain in tho earthly struggle or porhaps lo look at tho wondrous spootnolo of u buming planet But, lonving that theory aside, wo aro very auro that wo oro for tho first time walking tho earthly pilgrimage "Ye hfcvo not pa%aod this way before. Every minuto ia a new minute, every hour a new hour, every ooufcury % cow oon?urv. O th ere folk g lu vogoto ovor Ibo samo road wis ere travelings but it is our first trip. Kow appearances, new temptations, new screws, now . joys. That is tho reason KO many JO?O their way. Thoy ?.cot soinu one on tho road o? lifo audeak for direction,and wrong dirootion ia sivon. Wo havo nil b?en perplexed by misdir.-iofcion ai'?er asking i? tho way te somo plr.es we wished to visit. Somo ono said to us. "Take tho first road io tho ri?ht nud, having gono a m'.l Min that, road, tsko the first C*2^i;f ^fiii frtTl,/?n<l you will eoon iftach ? e/l." Wo took the advice, but c^. 101 lor forgot a lum in tho road er " ono of tho roada lending to tho leflfnud wo took tho wrong roa d and wore lost in tho woods, and night aamo on, and wo wcro pul to grent irritation\and trouble. Tho fact is I bl?tno no ono for roak ing lifotirao mieU^es, ? pity them in stead of blaming thom. Thora nra to many wrong roady, but only ona right ono.
