{Written for the pnila. Evening Bulletin.] SABBATH' HEADINGS. BT THE BEV. EDWABD 0. JONES, A. X. lIEZEKIAII’S sickness and re covery. Man must approach’ the dust before he can realize that earth is one grand imperti nence. Thus no doubt Hezekiah felt it as he reposed in feebleness on a royal couch. Isaiah came to him with the prophetic burden: Set thine house in order—that it is time to make the final disposition of all your affairs. It is time 1 to enter the last item in the account hook—time to arrange the whole economy of yonr domestic, civil, spiritual relations —time to invoke a bles sing on your successor—time to part with crown, sceptre and purple garb of royalty ■forever. "Wonder you that the king wept sore, and turned his face to the wall and prayed to that great Being, by whom kings reign and princes execute justice, for a pro-- longation of his days. Wonder you that he E leaded the promises and reminded God 05V closely he- had followed the precepts of goodness and truth.. Oh, the agony of that intercession. Oh, the depth and com pass of that wrestling prayer. Said Satan on one occasion, “Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.:” Instances,indeed there are, where existence is parted with in a reckless and indifferent spirit. Calamity and grief will sometimes ,* reconcile us to the change from earth to futurity, but,, in most cases, earth’s children cling to earth as the mist which rolls up from the valley ascends but slowly and holds tenaciously to the mountain brow before it wreathes upwards to the clouds and disappears'forever. No instinct is stronger than the love of life. Nor is the instinct censurable. If hours be the soil in which we plant a harvest for eternity—if moments be the golden coin to be put out to interest for the securing moral, spiritual, intellectual advantage— what marvel if we evince anxiety to have length of days? That the prayer of Hezekiah for the prolongation of his term of life, harmonized with the divine will, is obvious,from the fact that the same prophet who announced his coming death now returns to disclose the cheering fact that a respite of fifteen years would be granted him, and that in three days he would go up to the house of the Lord. So unlooked for was the gratifying announcement, that Hezekiah evinced a great incredulity and distrust. To quote the household aphorism, “The news was too good to be true.” Happily for man, Jehovah accommo ’ dates himself to our feeble faith. He puts his fatherly hands beneath the arms .of tot tering childhood and steadies the footsteps of those he loves. He knoweth our frame. ; He knows how hard it is for sinful man to realize that Supreme Goodness should con descend to meet'his Wishes, 1 and therefore he not onlygives us his promise, but confirms that promise with.an oath, saying—As I live, saith the Lord, my word shall never pass away. In the case of Hezekiah, two signs were in reality- granted: one the sim ple agency by which he was healed, and one the return of the shadow ten decrees upon the dial of Ahaz, his departed father. The first was the simple application of a lump of figs to the diseased part of his body. This effected his physical restora tion. This certainly was a sign sufficiently strong for the weakest faith. If an im probable cause is thus united to an astounding consequent; if figs neutralize the force of a distemper, but was nothing bettered but rather grew worse bv what the physicians esteemed, remedial agencies of the highest kind, then certainly he may live for fifteen years, or fifty years, if such be the Divine proclamation. Another si<-u was, however, granted. The shadow crept back again with leisurely but steadfast pace on the solid plate of the time-measurer, as if the chariot of the sun had halted and retraced his burning path as he was about careering to the western goal. And as he saw the shadow slowly creeping backward and moving on from the degree of past meridian to the hour which told of a noon day sun, oh, must he not have clapped his hands m a pious ecstasy and cried—“l shall not die but live, and declare the works L° r J- The sequel of the life of Hezekiah did not harmonize with his grate iul reelings upon his convalescence. In the If Uo d K Si ] ay of , his ,_ treas ures to the Prince of Babylon, who had come 'to extend his ongratffiations upon his recbvgry, we see thf if v nSUbdued P ride and selfish ness, the attachment of the heart to sources go . od - S ° hard is it-to weaken thl on f tlm ®- So soon does man snap he wove in ti, ra f d °^P’ OUS solution which of sTckne« h w? 0m of P ra yer upon his bed him enrth -T henstrength come s back to warn nml nll PlCk ,i U P. the slmttle ’ gulden n ’ and carries it off,triumphantly olt. like Samson to the hazy distance, and aatan smiles sardonically at man as a reed shaken with wind TOBACCO AND SEGAR3.
