On being released the next day, Jeremiah predicted the 'terror which was to be Pashar's por tion. His words were literally ful- !l!Ued (vv. 4-6). II. Jeremiah In Prison In Jonathan’s i House (37:11-21). He waa arreated by IrIJah ns he [was about to leave Jerusalem on an errand. He was charged with desert ing to the Chaldeans. While here in prison.

Jeremiah accused by the princes !<w. 4, 5). ; (1) He weakened the hands of the |men and all the people (v. 4).

God is nigh at hand. When Memory Falters How hard It Is sometimes to collect things into memory t How difficult It la to get It to work well when years have dulled Its use, or rusted Its hinges. Old folk find they cannot re call names as they did formerly. Th4y forget things In fashion almost ludicrous, when compared with that of other days. The little cells of mem ory do not now fly open readily as they once did. Human mechanism Is not made to last forever, as It Is now. No matter how well It Is trained It will no more go on always, than will any other machinery. Even steel will not preserve Its elasticity forever. Big bridges have to. be replaced at times, generally by piecemeal to save ex pense. Some conceal It well, some fight against It at peril of life, for that way apoplexy lies.
