preached from the text, “Two hundred

they coud not go over the Brook Besor.
1. Samuel 30: 10
In some respects we are reminded in
this story of the celebrated charge of the
Lizht Brigade, possibly because there were
600 David's soldiers, and perhaps be
cause they fought valiantly and won a
great victory. While the rank and fle
would not compete with the men who
fought at Schastapel or Inkerman, for
they had been a discontented lot in their
homes and in their service, yet there were
some really soldiers among them, and
they were as ready

The business man who has gone to his
office all this while, and goes through the
round Of common tasks from morning to
night, from one week's end to another,
year in and year out, chaffing oft Limes be
cause he 1s doing so little and yet forget
ting that he can be “not slothful in busi.
ness, fervent in spirit serving the Lord”
and because he does complain so much is
missing his opportunity to do what the
reacher never could do. The invahd upon
couch racked with pain and filled with
complaint because her voice 1s never heard
in the congregations of the people, won-
dering why she ever lived, and crying out
against God because she has suffered so in-
tensely, thereby missing her opportunity
to give a testimony which no one else
could give but the invalid,
One of our honored old ministers a week
ago was plunged into great sorrow by the
news of the death of his son. He had died
by his own hand. When the news was
broken to the father it seemed as if he
would fall, when suddenly remembering
the comfort which he had ever given to
others he cried aloud, “Though He slay me
yet will 1 trust Him,” and he never
through all his ministry preached a better
sermon. The mother in her home bound
to her children, for while the chain may be
wilken it is still a chain, chafing because
she can make her influence felt so little in
the world, and yet forgets that she is
doing what every angel in the skies would
like to do, having an opportunity placed
in_her hands to mold a soul for eternity in
the direction of the lives of her boys, 1
