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

was a ranotity i.? that divino lyrnbol
that they must observo by keeping
throo quarters of a toilo away. 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. Wo aro making our first aed
last journey through this world, it i?

that this world will be corrootod
and improved and purified and (loralizod
and omparaditcd an to olin.ato and

time walking tho earthly i iigrimago.
"Yohavc not passed this way before.
Every minuto is a now minute, ovcry
hour a now hour, every oontury a now
oenturv. Owhers folks have gone over tho
samo road wo are traveling , but it is
our first trip. Now appearances, now
temptations, new sorrows, now joys.
That is the roason so many loto their
way. They meot somo ono on tho road
of lifo aDd ask for dirootion,and wrong
direction is givon. We havo all beoD
perplexed by misdircotion after aekirg
tho way to somo pltoo wo wished to
visit. Somo ono said to u?. "Tako
tho first road to tho rijht and, having
gone a m;lo on that road, tako the that
road to tho left, and you will soon rr.sob
your destination." We took tho advico,
but our informor forgst a turn in tho
road or forgot ono of tho roads leading
to tho loft, and wo took tho wrong road
and wero lost in tho woods, acd night
oamo on, and wo wore put to great
irritation and tronblo.
The fact is 1 blamo no ono for rnnk
log nioiiiuo mistakes. 1 pity them instead
of blaming thorn. 1 hero arc no
many wrong roadi, but only one right
ore. 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.

''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

As you havo had no oxpenoneo of

Gr d ono of them.
No one his ooitjo to midlife who has
not boon fltung of ingratitudo. U r tho
buttlefiold of Alma in 1854 & wounded
Russian was crying in anguish of thirst
for vAter. Captain Eddington of the
Keg'idh Avmv ran to him and gave him
drink. As tho captaia was running by
to join hits rcRiuiont tho wounded soldier
shot him. Almost all larguagcs
have proverbs sotting forth this perversity.
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

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

surprises all tho timo It is a now road
wo nro travo ing. "Ye have not passed

But olosoly alliod is tho other fact
which wo hiutod at in the opouiug?
that wo wilt not na?B this way ag\in.

At this point I ask you to notioo tho
faot that o?y toxt does not oall attention
