Jacob had long since passed the hualred year milestones, In those times people were distinguished for longevity. Inthe centuries afterward persons lived to great age, Galan, the most celabrated physician of his time, took so Httle of his own medicine that he | lived to 140 years, A man of undoahted |! veracity on the witness stand in England swore that he rememberad an evant 150 years before. Lord Bacon speaks of a countess who had cut three sets of testh and died at 140 years, Joseph Creole, of Pannsylvania, lived 140 years. In 1857 a book was printed containing the names of thirty-seven per- sons who lived 140 years, an 1 thea names of elaven persons who lived 150 years, Among the grand old people of whom we have record was Jacob, the shepherd of the text. Bat he had a bad lot of boys, They were jealous and ambitious and every way unprineipled, Joseph, however, seamad to be an exception, but he had besn gone many years, and the probability was that he was dead. As sometimes now in a house you will find kept at the table a vacant chair, a plate, a knife, a fork, for soma deceased || member of the family, so Jacob kept in his heart a place for his beloved Joseph, There glts the old man, the flock of 140 years in their flight having alighted long enough to leave the marks of their olaw on forahenl and cheek and temple, His long heard snows down over his chest, I what dim, and ha gon farther whan they are closed than wher ¥v Are ons ean soe clear back into the time whe ful Rachel, his wife, was living and {is aves are son dren shook the orien merriment, The centenarian the past when he ha with all the inva 1 ime minister, next to the king in the mightisst empire of all the world! was too sudden and too glad for th | a, and his cheaoks whiten, and he has a dazed look, and his stall falls ou [ hi mand, and he would have dropped hal t the saught him and led his a and put cold water 8 Ince and fa sd him a little, at half delirium the old man mar sthing about his son Joseph, ¥ jon't mean Joseph, do you rho has been deal so long A'tr Joseph, do 1 But after they had fully resascitated ! and the naws was confirmed the tears begin their winding way down the crossroads of the inkles, and the sunken lips of the old m qaiver and he brir beat fingers together as “Joseph is vet alive, I will go and re [ dia” not take the old man a great while to get ready, [ warrant you, Ha put on the best clothes that the shepherd's wardrobe could afford, He got into the wagon, and though the aged are cautious and like to ride slow the wagon did not get along fast enough for this old man, and whea the wagon with the old man met Joseph's ohari- ot coming down to meet him, and Joseph got out of the chariot and got into the wag- on and threw his arms around he father's neck, it was an antithesis of royalty and rus- ticity, of simplicity and pomp, of filial affoc- ton i n- i tion and paternal love, which leaves #0 Touch in Soubt about WHethar we NAT DIRtSr | faugh or ery that we do both. So Jacob kept the resolution of the text, “‘I will go and see him before I die.” What a strong and unfalling thing Is par- ental attachment! Was it not almost time for Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot sans of many summers had blazed on tha heath ; the river Nile had overflowad and receded, over flowed and receded again and again; the s=a1 had been sown and the harvest reaped ; stars rose and set ; years of plenty and years of famine had passed om, but the love of Jacob for Joseph in my text is overwhelm- ingly deamatic. Oh, that is a cord that is not snapped, though pulled on by many de- ecades! Though when the little child expired the parents may not have been more than twenty-five years of age, and now they are seventy-five yet the vision of the eradle, and the childish face, and the first utterances of the infantile lips are frash to-day, in spite the passage of a half century. Joseph was as fresh ip Jacob's memory a3 ever, though at seventeen years of aga the boy had disap- sare 1 from the old homestead, Ifoundinour amily record the story of an infant that had died fifty years balore, andl said to my parants, ‘“What is this record, and what does it mean?” Their chief answer was a long, deep sizh. It was yet to them a very tender sorrow. What does that all mean? Why, it means our children departed are ours yet, and that cord of attachment reaching scross the years will hold us until It bricgs us together in the palace, as Jacob and Joseph were brought together, That 1s one thing that makes old people happy. They realize it is reunion with thoss {rom whom they have long been separated, I am often asked, as pastor, and every | pastor ir asked the question: “Will my children be children in heaven and forever | children?’ Wall, thers was no doubt a great change in Joseph from the tims Jacob lost him and the tims when Jacob found him | between the boy saventanan yoars of age and the man la mid-life, his forsheal developed with the great business of state—bat Jacob was glad to get back Joseph anyhow, and ft | dit not make much differenns tothe old man | whether the boy lookad older or looked | And ft will be enough younger, ho can get back oy for that pagent if bat son, that daughter, at the gate] of heaven, whether the departed loved one | shall come a cherub or in full grown angel | There must be a change wrought by | hood. that aelestial climate and by those saperasl years, but i will only be fsom loveliness to more love radiant health, O parent, as you think of the darling panting and white in membrane. ons croup want you to know it will be gloriously better in that land wher: there has never been a death and where all the In. habitants will live oa in the great future as long as God!
