Nc ptranger thing has ever oocurod in all hibloty. Tho ark of tho covenant was a brilliant ohoot of acacia weed, ^vorlaid With gold, on tho top of which wcro two winged fiturco froirg oaoh other. It was five foot 'org and ttiroo foot wiuc Poles w< ro thrust through tho rings at tho Bido. and by tho fo'ks tho aik was lifted.

Thoy must watoh that glittering box and follow, otherwieo thoy would lose their way and net arrive at the right ple.oo for cresting. Thoy had never beeu thcro before, and thoy must be guided. For that reason, Joshua utters the words of ruy text, l,Vo have not pisaod th >s way heretofore," and the r.ubordinato officers at tbo boad of thor^gimont repeated it. "Ye hayo not pasted this way horctoforo." What was truthfully said of tbo anoiont Israelites may bo truthfully said of us.

You cannot in midlifo draw upon your youthful oxporienocs for wisdom for midlifo is so ontiioly diftcront from youth. You cannot in o.h ago draw upon mid'ilo exporiuncos, for tho two stagos of existence arc so diverro. What is wisdom for ono man to do would Lo 1 >!ly for another to undortsko. A men of noivo and pluok is not qualified to advise a man timid and si rinking. An achievement that would be easy for you might be impossible for me. Human advice is ordinarily of little vuluo. People review their own euooonsos or failures and thou toll us what is host for us to do, not realizing that our oirournstanoos arc dilforont, our tempora meat is different, our physical and montal and moral oapaoities different. most of tho groat mibtakos that have been made havo bcou made under human advieeinont. 8o, also, ii may bo baid to ovory nation. ''Ye havo not passed this \?ay bo'oro." Our own ropublio i? goine through novol experiences. Could wisest statesmen twenty yearn ago have propheied ireaout conditions? Kvery pronident ov >y congress, has now criiioo to meet and now questions to nottlo. So I propheoies u/ir about conditions in ! thic country fifty yoRrs from now may | turn out fes far untrue as the prerhccics made fifty years r?:o by tho ertafrst of Amerman statesmen when he deoUrod on yonder Capitol bill that it was u iwiso to think of civilisation or j-rospority tho other sido of tho Kooky mountains, and aooording to hi'j belief the Pacific coast would be tho porpotual abode of barbarians and mountain iious, and wo must not think of annexing thoso forbidding regions. ftlaoy prophooios in regard to tor na tion failed and many prophecies oonerniog its futuro will fail because it is trav cling a now road. Kvery step it takes on that rosd is a ooveky. Tho opinion of a flonroo or a JcHorson in the far past is not of as muoh valuo as the opinion of our wisest men now. How oould men know in 1823 what, it would bo best for this nation to do in 11101? It is belittling as woll as unwise for our tatosmon, who aro q lite equal to the statesmen of tho past and who havo, in addition to the natural talents of their predooeseors, attainments in knowlodgo that wero impossible in any deoado but our own, to depend on advice of mon who have been dead throe-quarters of a eentary.

Our lifo is one loDg diaoovory of thing# that wo did not know and oould not know, boo?'i?e wo havo not pasaod this way boforo. Wo havo found, for inptanco, that gratitu o ia -ho raront of virtuos. You ueod to suppoeo that if you do p kindnoflft it will bo fuily tp prcoiatod and reciprocated. Y'ou havo found out by experience, * you could Lwo found out ia no other way, that gratitude id apt to bo only another ax to grind. While thoro ia a poseibility that you may return h?ill more sorvioc you aro thanked, but when you oau ro turn no moro advantagoB you aro droppod. lloro is a man you havo helped in political olevatim. Whon tho time oomoB for tho ooraplimonl to bo roturned, you aro net only rcfuoed help, but you rcooivo poeitivo opposition. You havo found cut that you should do tho right thing not with roapeot to Toward or gratitude, but beoau*o it i" tho right thing to do.

English provoib, "BriDg up a raven, and it will pick out your eyes." Arabio proverb, "'Eat tho prosont and break tho dish," "Italian proverb, "The ass, after havii g drunk, givos a kick to the buokot." An old proverb ssys, "If Uod wcro to bo so oomplaeent as to carry us on his back to Homo, wo would not thank Lim for his pains if ho did not alio sot us down in an easy ohair," You will ncvor bo happy in this world if you do not do all tho good ycu can and look for no respon sivo gratitude. All tho damago I did a mii\ who is my eneuiy war, to tako him from a position where ho roccive.d ) f7l)0 year salary into a position where ho has r vor sinoo roocivcd a year, lie nevrr forgave me, but has pursued, mo wiih a pon vitriolic ever since Tho woret enomy you over j ad is the man you introduced a"d favored and helped. But bo not disturbed or cvou irritated. You aro no bottor than your Lord. If tho world had had any thaakful appranrooiation of his oomii m it wnn .t filled that Bethlehem caravansary with llowors which bloom thoro oloar ou into tho Dooeinbor month, and Herd, in6tcad of attempting his death, would l.avo Bont a ohariot to fetch tl o infant to tho palico, and tho oyot and torminor of Pilato's courtroom would havo pronounood him not guilty, and instead of a cross and a orovu of thorns it would havo been a coronation, with ail the mighty ouos of tho earth kacolicg at the foot of his throuo. Another d soovery that surprises us bcoauso we had not pasted this way boforo is the f?ot that if two bo in quarrol or in war with each othor tho ooo who is tho moat wrong is tho hardest and tho slowest to wako up. Who wroto them 1 know Dot, but 1 out tboao two linos out a* d panto them in iuy sorap hook twenty yca"a ago, for tho words are so strikingly truo: t'jrgirenoiiB to the injured doe* belong, Hut they ne'er pardon who h*ve done tho wrong Wo talk about the gust, discoveries of tho ago, but tl o oleotnc powor, tho sicam power, tho tclcsoopic and m'ciosoopio power, but do not say anything about tho dieoevories wo all make year by yoar and day by day. There are surprises all tho timo It is a now road wo nro travo ing. "Ye have not passed this way boforo." But olosoly alliod is tho other fact which wo hiutod at in the opouiug? that wo wilt not na?B this way ag\in. This is our only opportunity for oing c rtaiu thir g? that ought to bo dono. i\.. . : j - . .1 ? vsu nu niuu? irore arc gflUt* wo ought to f-oUoo, huagtr wo ought to f.ied o >ld thut wo ought to waiin, kind words that Wo ought to tp ak, generous deeds wo ought to perform Ail thut you and I do toward making this world hotter, and happior we must do very noon or nov^r do at all. J oehua and his troops never camo br.ck over tbo way fcl ev were marobing toward iho crossing of the Jordan. I'ko impress of tko sandal or the hare feet of each soldier show d in wk*fc dirootion ho was going, but never did the impress of tho sandal of auy ono of them show that ho had ro turned. Wo arc all faoing ctomity to ocma. Thero is no rotroat. Alertness and fidelity would not be so important if vrc oculd ttuthfuMy say: "1 will no back hero arain.

No; we oaunot say that. There < will bo no new and oorrootod edition of i tho volume of our earthly life. After j wo make oxit from the stage at tho I oloso of tho fifth aot wo oannot ro-onter.

Amocg all tho ag< s ?o oomo I do not suppose thero will bo ono more who "ill return to this lifo, having onoo loft it. Lord lUoon ia>d that ho who shall d'soovor thn way to inako myrrh solubln by human blood will disoovor immortal lifo on oarth, but no suoh discovery will over bo made. vVith what nu^g utivo aolemnity dooa this thought Cargo ovory hour of our earthly existence. It ir said that it ib possiblo to know which way tho wiod blew at tho timo of the dolngo by the mark of tho waves still to bo found in tho sand, and the dirootiou of our iafluenoo, hnwevor slight, will loavo a mark that will last forovor. At this point I ask you to notioo tho faot that o?y toxt does not oall attention to tho crossing of tho Jordan, but to tho way loading thoroto. Wo all think muoh of our crossing of tho Jordan whon tho march of our lifo is ondod, but put too Halo emphasis on tho way that loads to tho orossing. What you and J need most to tare about is tho direction o. tho road wo ate traveling. Wo notd fcavs no foar of tho orossing if wo oomo to it in tho right way. In othor words, wo need not oaro about I doalh if our lifo has boon what it ought to bo. Wo will dio right if wo livo right. That was a glorious thing that Mon.morcnoy, conslablo of Frano">, aid when dyir g 'rom liis w\>unds in battlo.
