I.os Angeles, Cal., Nov. 0.—From the tmtumual frosts, the stripping of for est verdure and the woods now car peted with the falling leaves the preacher in this sermon draws a lesson on the shortness of human life. The text Is Isaiah Ixiv, 0, “We all do fade as a leaf.” Is there any time in all the year more delightful for a vacation in the country than the “Indian summer.'’ Of course to the lover of nature the valleys and the mountains have their fascinations at all seasons. Winter- cold, hleak, growling, freezing winter— has her months of glory. Then the trees, with their long, outstretched branches, are like the vestal virgins of s the overwhelming and Incontroverti ble statement of my text. Like the fading leaf, man's cradle and grave arc not very far apart. Like the life of a leaf, our earthly existence springs Into budding life, has Its short season of glorious maturity, and then fade and falls with a rapidity that stafile- us. Joseph Cook seems to stretch map's earthly life out almost endlessly. “Man’s life,” said he. “means tender teens, teachable twen ties, tireless thirties, tlery forties, forci ble tilths, serious sixties, sacred seveu- i ties, aching eighties, shortening breath, death, the sod. (Jod.” But, oh, though we may live our threescore years and ten, or even fourscore years, how soon those years slip away. As the months of the spring quickly change them selves into the months of the summer, and the months of the summer change into the frosts of the autumn, we can see our lives slipping away. We can see them go as the sands of an hour glass rim away before our eyes. God puts upon one side of the leaf the snow bank and upon the other side of the leaf the iceberg of another winter. He then says to the embryo of the leaf: “You must not begin to sprout before the whistling winds of March have diinl away. You must, on the other hand, be ready to surrender your life before the December storms have Have a great deal to do with the effect of pictures. Many a good picture is spoiled by an inappro priate frame. In a few days we shall be prepared to make of every kind and size. If you have an engraving, painting or photograph you want framed, bring it here. We will frame it so as to produce the best possi ble effect. Or, if you have your own ideas as to the proper frame ^ we will carry them out faith- fully.“ We won’t overcharge either way. June H. Limestone Street. Phone 176. Residence^iyi, old, robed in spotless white. Then the trampled all the tapestries of the for- stars, through'the keen, biting January P sts under foot, making the bare trees look like the dismantled and ruined palaces of a king.” So God says to man: “Your earthly life is to lie very, very short. You are to spend your earthly days as the life of a leaf. Therefore, what you are to do for me and for the world you must do quick ly. Hear ye not in the sighing of the autumnal winds the forthcoming sum mons that you must soon fade away as the leaf, as the dying autumnal leaf?” A Symbol of Rnrth. The fading autumnal leaf, the sym bol of the passing away of the human generations! Can you not see it? Can j'ou not feel It? To me it Is the most startling symbol of earth, for, as 1 go out in the autumn and look off upon the hillsides and see the vineyards with their dying leaves, the most over whelming fact that forces itself upon me is the rapidity with which genera tions go. Aye, the members of the gen eration which preceded us ns well as many members of our own generation seem to have disappeared as the mists at the sunrising, as the dewdrops are kissed off the lips of the leaves, as the tears on the cheek of a little child are wiped away by a sympathetic mother. Wandering up and down the world, we think of all the friends we have on the other side of the grave. Then we seem to feel that the great character of the “Wandering Jew,” created by Eugene Sue, Is not an absurdity, for every where we go and everywhere we turn we hear the voices of the dead, crying: “I am gone! I am gone! 1 'am gone! I have faded away as the leaf—as the dying leaf!” Oh, the rapidity with which the hu man family pass away! Some time ago I picked up a bound annual vol ume of a weekly periodical I took for some years. This volume recorded a political campaign of some twenty years ago. As I turned over the leaves ami saw the faces of the prominent men of that day 1 involuntarily ex claimed on turning over each of the pictures: “Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!” So, speaking today of the dead, the multitudes of our depart ed loved ones seem to pass before us. There are scores and hundreds of them. As the autumnal leaves fall, so they died. Whatever we are to do for God we must do quickly, for we all do fade away as the leaf. We are dying us the autumnal leaves. But, though the span of life may be very short as a' whole, yet, after all, when death comes to most of us, it will come as to the leaf, gradually. Death, as 11 rule, does not spring out upon his victims suddenly. Like a loved friend traveling abroad, he sends message aft er message that he is coming. ■> He sends notice after notice, lie sends word to you just the same us the sol diers lighting in the United States ar my during the civil war sent mes sages to their children at home. At night the mother used to read those letters to her babies. Then she would say: "Papa is coming. Yes, some day papa Is going to come.” Then when the surrender at Appomattox came the mother sang a new song. “Now, chil dren," said she, “papa will soon be here." Then came the preparation for meeting the train. Then came the ex pected parent. Death comes to most not us a thief In the night. As a rule, death comes to us as he comes to a leaf, gradually, very gradually. Death Cornea Gradually. Did I say death is coming to you gradually? Oh, yes, he has sent mes sage after message to notify you of his early arrival. The first message came to you when you were about twenty years of age. You had a fearful at tack of pneumonia. For days and days they thought you could not get well. You recovered partially, but your lungs since then have never been strong. Every winter you catch a cold. Each year the cough is harder to get rid of. Or years ago when a child you had an attack of dreaded diphtheria. The nurse let us sit us too soon, and the strain was too grei.t uran the heart. It left It weak. For years you did not mind, but now the old trouble has come back. Or the message came to you that death was on Ids way to your home in failing eyesight. You have to put on glasses now when you read the Bible or the evening paper. Or you can hear his footsteps In your dulled hearing. You find out that peo ple do not talk as loud as they UH<*d to do. You keep asking them the irri tating question, “Why do you not speak more distinctly than you do?" Or It came to you last week In a star tling way. Y’ou had your picture taken nights, gleam brighter than any other time of the year. Then the country roads are echoing with the merrymak ings of the sleighbells, and the lights from the farmhouses are the beacons to signal friends to enter the home where “Welcome” is written over every door. Springtime in the country also has her months of glory. That Is the time we hear the wooings of bird mating with bird. That is the time when the winds are tossing the white blossoms every whither. That is the time of (he seed plantings and of the plowings. the time when the brooks are rippled with the trouts’ tins, while summer bus her glory of the haymakers and the harvestings and the vineyards and the orchards in which we all have reveled year by year whed off for the August vacations. But, though winter, spring and summer may come to us, each with special forms of enjoyment, the most rapturous time of all the year in which to spend a few weeks in the country Is during the autumn, for then the glory of October’s pride is the fading leaf. Never in artist’s studio were so many gorgeous colors mixed together as God pictures on his canvases of the autumn foliage. Here the trees look like a mighty “river of blood.” as though their ar teries had been opened by the Mosaic rod which incarnadined the river of Egypt. The leaves have blushed a deep crimson, as did the water at the wedding feast at Cana when, at our Lord’s word, it was borne as new made wine to the governor at the feast. Under yonder trees It seems as though aged Jacob’s sons were feast ing and had hung up Joseph’s coat of many colors upon the tret* branches while they were waiting for the Ish- maelitc nomads to come and take their younger brother away. There the green and the yellow, the red and the pur ple, the blue and all the colors of the rainbow, are found blending upon the same hillside. Yonder field looks like a prairie fire. AVe can almost hear the flames crackling amid tjie underbrush; we can almost feel the hot air touch ing our cheeks. AVe look at tin* strange and wonderful sight of the long grass es and brushes, changed within a few weeks to a light red, and we wonder not as we see the birds flying away to- 1 ward the sunny south, for as they fly j we can almost see the pictures of the prairie fires of our youth, when the | birds and the beasts and the serpents j fled in wild terror before the onward rush of the consuming conflagration. Tlie Leaven of Indian Summer. Oh, the beauty of the autumnal fo- ! liage! The fading leaves of the Indian summer fascinate the eye and woo plnudltory exclamations from all lips, j As we go forth today to catalogue ! some of them we find that there are big leaves and small leaves, long leaves and narrow leaves, rough leaves and 1 smooth leaves, thick leaves and thin leaves. There are leaves that are yel- ! low, and red, and brown, and crimson, | and green, and saffron. There are leaves like those which the tired trav- ' elers twist into cups and dip Into the cool waters and lift to their parched j lips. There are leaves like the fresh emerald ones which the picnickers use for platters when the merrymakers | are banqueting In the woods and leaves like those the field laborers wet when they place them In their straw | hats to cool their aching brows. There ; are leaves which the little children gather and press straight between the schoolbook pages, which the maidens ! jars and vases and to decorate the halls, parlors and bedrooms of the home. There are leaves which the florist cuts to give an added beauty to the flowers he is clustering together for assemblages of joy and also for assemblages of sorrow. There are leaves which have hidden the nests of the birds while they were rearing their young—leaves upou the tree branches, j leaves in the flower gardens, leaves which have been tossed by the winds Into the dusty road, leaves overhead, 1 leaves under foot. There are a hundred and and forty and four thousand va- ' rleties of them and thousands upon thousands. Lo, this autumn day there Is a host of falling leaves which no man can number. They have lived . their short lives, they have faded beau- tlfully and at last have fallen off and j fluttered silently to the ground. The i ancient Hebrew prophet, watching ;hem as they fell, saw In them a sym- | luJ of the falling of human lives. As the leaves fall and die. ho man falls iiivl dies. “AA'e all do fade as a leaf” | There are leaves collect to fill the fu please the ili'ldren. When the plij- tograph came home you were shocked. Why. when you placed that picture alongside nf tli<> last photograph of your father and mother you found that yuti I > >k' , il just as old as they were when they died. A'cs, like the leaf, an average man dies gradually. He be gins to die first at the extremities. His hair whitens. His skin wrinkles. Ills hand tretnliles. The onee steady boat of the heart Is men unsteady. The window< of his eyesight are bedimmed. He has a pain at the base of the brain bora use the circulation is poor. God gives to almost every man thousands of warnings instead of one warning that he is fading away as the loaf, as the autumnal leaf. Is not tin* figure of the leaf dying gradually the symbol of the average man’s death? of course some leaves do meet a violent and a quick death, as nearly all wild beasts In their na tive haunts end their lives by a sud den tragedy. A mischievous squirrel may climb a tree and jerk a leaf from its moorings and toss it to the ground. The tall antlers of the deer may be the pruning hook to lay bare a branch. The keen ax may slaughter the leaves as ruthlessly as the farmer’s scythe mows down tin* golden grain in order that the woodman passing the night In the forest may have a soft couch to sleep upon at the foot of some giant oak. The sullen blizzard, sulking be hind an arctic iceberg, may decide to make a spring journey back to the place where it had tried In vain to hat ter down the doors of a summer cot tage during the past winter months and in one night destroy all the sprout ing leaves. A forest fire may allow tjie flames to feed upon the tender foli age which has been exposed by nature for a few weeks to be colored by the light of tlie sun. Some men in their youth or in strong middle age in full health may he struck down by some accident or contagious disease as quick ly as a soldier upon a battlefield may have a bullet pierce his heart and in stantly drop dead. And some men may instantly exterminate their lives by tlie evil effects of sin. .Man Die* n* the Leaf. But. after all, most leaves do not die a sudden death. They live on through the spring. They live on through the summer. They live until the cold of oncoming winter makes dormant the wonderful forces which give life to the tree. They die as gradually as the summer days slip into the fall days; as gradually as the ebbing tide, each wave of which is a little lower down the beach than tlie preceding wave; as gradually as the twilight slowly grows dimmer; as gradually as the echoes in the mountain ravine become softer and softer. Man dies as the loaf, gradual ly. It is sickness after sickness. It is fewer walks, less work, less physical energy. It is u gradual benumbment of the mental and physical faculties. Y’ou know you are not ns strong as you used to be. AA’liat is tlie matter? AA’e are all failing away as the leaf, as the autumnal leaf. But this autumn day, as the leaves are everywhere falling from the trees, I know God lias a purpose in their death as well as In their life. One rea son why God every fall strips tlie trees of their leaves is that the next year the forests may he robed with another covering of green. And one reason why God makes one generation of hu man beings pass away from earth Is that another generation may be born and live and have the opportunity to do tin* work which is necessary for them to do and then pass on to the eternal life beyond the grave, as past generations have done and as we must do. Did you ever stop to consider from an earthly standpoint the blessings of death as well as tlie blessings of life? Every year in order to make tlie fruit trees and vineyards bear well the farmer with his pruning hook has to go among them and ruthlessly destroy hundreds of buds In order that the other buds may have enough nourish ment to grow and do their work. In order that the human race may be strong and physically well God has to keep his pruning hook busy or else tills old earth would soon be over- populated, and there would not be room for man to live by the side of man. “So great are the possibilities of growth," said the old sage, Benja min Franklin, “that the productiveness of the vegetable and animal life Is in conceivable and almost without limit.” By the Malthusian doctrine we learn that If death did not destroy one gen eration almost ns soon as It was bom the world would soon lie an Impossible place for human residence. By that Malthusian doctrine If there was no death tlie human race would double itself every twenty-five years. In the United States there are today over 70.000.000 people. In twenty-five years from now there would be 140,000.000. In fifty years from now there would be 280.000JH10 people. In seventy-five years from now there would be 560,- 000.000 and in a hundred years 1,120,- 000,000 people. Thus the race would keep on doubling and redoubling until at last man as a cannibal might be driven to feed upon man, ns the earth, with all Its productiveness, would be incapable ultimately of supporting such multitudes. Span of Life In Short. The span of human life on earth is very short, yet like that of the leaf God does not permit man’s life, short us it is, to end until his work has been fully accomplished. The Bible tells us that man’s earthly “days are as grass, ns the flower of the field, so he flourlsheth. For the wind passeth over it and it Is gone ai d the place thereof shall know It no more." But, though the life of the grass or the leaf may be short as that of an Insect, yet Its life Is absolutely vital to this couutry. Once destroy the vegetation of a liyid and you turn that 1/tnd Into a Sahara. Leaves suck In the moisture. They are reservoirs for water. They decide 1 whether a country Is to be fertile or | not. Once destroy tin* forest with its leaves and the orchards with tlielr | leaves and you change the whole at- 1 niosplieric condition of the country, as 1 parts of Spain and I'ortngal have been robbed of all moisture by tin* destruc tion of the leaves. Thus each genera tion's spiritual life is absolutely neces- nurj to be matured and developed for thr* spiritual life of the generation which is to follow. Your spiritual life decides what is to lie the spiritual life of your children and your children’s children. Would Hint our spiritual life might not only be a saving gospel for our selves, but also for those who are to conic after us. There is a beautiful story told of Ulysses, .the most famous of all Homeric heroes, who won his greatest victory when he overcame tlie fiendish power of the sorceress by the influence of a few leaves. Circe lived in a beautiful palace upon a certain is land. There as a beautiful enchant ress, surrounded by her maidens, she welcomed the travelers who landed up on her shores. She banqueted and fet ed them. At the end of the feast, however, she would arise, wave over the assemblage her magic wand, and her guests would be changed into re pulsive four footed beasts, who would be driven by the attendant out to tlie swine troughs. After Ulysses’ fellow voyagers had been thus metamorphos ed the hero went to their rescue. In his hand lie held the fabulous herb which was given to him by the god Hermes. Never for an instant did he let those leaves drop from his hand. By their power he was able to break the fatal spell of the destroyer and make her beg for mercy and restore to him his helpless and suffering compan ions. A Heathen I*net*n Idea. This was n heathen poet’s Idea of the power of evil being overcome by the mighty and supernal power of a few leaves given to his hero by a heathen god. Cannot wo use today our lives as tlie symbol of healing leaves? Cannot we fool tliat wo by tlio grnoo of God can absorb into mrseives tlio heal ing power of the gospel? Then cannot we further believe that the healing and saving power of the gospel which we have received from Christ we can impart to those dear ones who draw their earthly life from our life? As we have been saved by tlie blood of Christ, cannot we offer that atoning blood to those who love us and who are dependent upon us for temporal as well ns spiritual life? But, though a fading leaf is a dying leaf, yet after all its last days ought to he its most resplendent days. Is the leaf ever so beautiful as when it has the hectic flush of death upon Its cheek? Is it ever so beautiful as when we rub our fingers over Us yellow fore head. when, like a corpse still warm. It is torn off an overhanging branch and tumbles gently tills way and that Into our waiting laps? And is there a time In all his earthly career when a Christian’s life is so beautiful as after tlio autumnal frosts of the tomb have touched ids cheek? Then the physical force of the life may he gone. Ho may not have tlie strength ho once had, hut In his eye there will come a softer look, in tlie touch of his hand there will come a gentler sym pathy. in the sound of his voice there will be a holier prayer. In the move ment of Ids heart there will be a gen tler yearning. Thus tlie aged Christian, like tlie last leaf left upon tlie tree branch, may seem to be alone as all tlie leaves of his generation have fallen, yet people will love him for his noble life, mellowed by many a stinging frost. They will love him for what lie has been, for what hi* Is, and for what lie is to he. Oil, my dear friends, by tin* grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, us a Christian, your last days on earth may become your best days. Would you nut have them a foretaste of the 1 est of all days, which shall come to all of Christ’s dei.r ones in heaven? [Copyright. DOS, by Louis Klopsch.J Disastrous Wrecks.
