Delivered at Klmira, N, YX,
TeXT: “And they said, We cannot, until
ali the flocks be gathered together, and till
they roll the stone from the wells mowth,
then we water the sheep.” —(lenesis xxix., 8,
There are some reasons why it is appro-
priate that I should accept the invitation to
wach at this great interstate fair, and to
hese throngs of countrymen and citizgens—
horsemen just come from their flue charg
ers, the king of beasts (Tor 1 take the crown
from the lion and put it on the brow of the
horse, whioh is in every way nobler): and
speak to thesa shepherds just come from
their flocks (the Lord Himself in one place
called a Shepherd and in another place
called a Lamb, and all the good are sheep);
and preach to you cattle-men come up from
the herds, your occupation honored i
fact, that God Himself thinks it worthy

Vanity has its roots in all the cir
cumstances of life, and bears fruit i
most of its affections. Mothers urn
vain of their children, and many make
themselves nuisances to their friend
in consequence. Nothing is less in
teresting than long tales about the pre
lightful character of Molly.
