You may not light his bnttlcs long. Kight them while you may. Throw not the chill of your own despondency over his soul. Hat Iter be like .lesus, who came to the wedding hiding His own griet and kindling the joys of others. So 1 have seen the sun on a darll day struggling amid clouds, black, ragged and portentous, but after awhile the sun, with golden pry, heaved back the black .ness, and the sun laughed to the lake, and the lake laughed to the sun, and from hori xon to horizon, under the saffron Bky, the water was all turned into wine. I learn from this miracle that Christ is not impatient with the luxuries of lite. Jt was not necessary that they should have that wine. Hundreds of people have been married without any wine. We do not, read that any of the other provisions fell short. ,'When Christ made the wine it was not u necessity, but a positive luxury. J do not believe that He wants us to e-nl hard bread and sleep on hard mattresses unless we like them the liest. 1 think, if eirciiin stanoes will allow, we have it right to the luxuries of dress, the luxuries ot diet and the luxuries of residence. There is no more religion in an old coat than in a new one. We can serve (iod drawn by golden harness as certainly as when we go afoot. Jesus Christ will dwell with us under a fine ceiling as well as under a thatched roof. What is lite ilit'tercnce between a Chi nese mud hovel and an Aiiiciican home? What is the difference between the rough bearskins of the Kiixsinii Iwmr and the outfit of an American gent Ionian ? Sin difference except that which the gospel of 'Christ, directly or indirectly, has caused, .When Christ shall have vanquished all tho 'world, I suppose every house will be a mansion, and every garment a robe, ami every horse an arch necked courser, and every carriage a glittering vehicle, and every man a king, and every woman a lueen. and the whole earth a paradise, the glories of the natural world harmouizini; i with the glories of the material world un- Itil the very bells of the horses shall jingle .the praises of the Lord. I I learn, further, from this miracle that Christ has no impatience with festal jov; lotherwise Jle would not have accepted tlio linvitation to that wedding, lie certainly iwould not, have done that which increased I the hilarity. There may have bivn many ill that room who were hupm, but tlnii" ivaa not one of them that, did so much tut 1 1 he jov of the wedding party as Christ Himself, lie was the chief ol the bun iiueteis. hen the wine gave out, lie sup iplied it, and so, 1 take it, He will .ml deny us the joys that are positively festal. Who was it that sent the raven tapping on the window? The same (iod that sent the raven to feed K.lijali by the brook Clierith. Christ in the hour extremity! You mourned over your sins. You could not find the way out. You sal down and said: "Cod will not be merciful, lie has last me off.'' Jtut in that the darkest hour of your history light broke from the throne, and Jcmis said: "Oh, wanderer, come home! I have seen all thy sorrows, lu this the hour of thy extremity 1 offer thcu pardon and everlasting life!" Trouble came. You were ihnnst lorn to pieces by that trouble. You braced vourself up against it. You s,m, "I will be a stoic and will not care." Hut. before you had got through making the resolution it broke down under you. You felt that all your resources were gone, und tnen Jesus came. "In the fourth Avatch of the night," the Bible says, "Jesus came walking on .he sea." W hy did Jle not come In the first watch or in the second watch or in tho third watch? i do not know. He caiuo in the fourth and gave deliverance to His disciples. Jesus in the lust extremity! J wonder if it will be so in our very last extremity. We shall fall suddenly sick, and the doctors will come, hut in vain. We will try the anodynes and the etimu lantB and the bathings, but all in vain. Something will say, "Vou must go." No one to hold us back, but the hands of eter nity stretched out to pull us on. What then? Jesus will conic to ns, anil as we say, "Lord Jesus, I am alraid of that wa ter; I cannot wade through to (he other kidc." He will say, "Take hold of My arm," and we will take hold of His arm. and then Ho will put His foot in the surf of the wave, taking us on down, deeper, deeper, deeper, and our soul will cry, "All Thy waves and billows have gone over me." They cover the feet, conic to the knee und pass' the girdle and come to the head, and our soul cries out, "Jord Jesus Christ, 1 cannot hold Thine arm any longer." Then Jchiis will turn around, throw both His arms about us and set us on the beach far beyond the tossing of the billows. Jesus in the last extremity! That wedding scene is gone now. Th-.i wedding ring has been lost, the tankards have been broken, the house is down, but Jesus invites us to a grander wedding. You know the Hible says that the church is the 1-amb's wife, nnd the Lord V 1 1 af ter awhile come to fetch be;- home. There will be gleaming of torches in the sky, und the trumpets of (iod will ravish the air w ith their music, and Jesus will stretch out His hand, nnd the church, robed in white, will put aside her veil and look up into the face of her Jord the King, and the Jtride groom will say to the bride: "Thou hast been faithful through all these years. The mansion is ready. Come home. Thou uro I fair, my love!" and then He shall put upon her Prow the crown oi nonunion, ami inn table will bo spread, and it will reach across the skies, and the mighty ones of lien ven will come in garlanded with beauty and striking their ey inputs, and the Jtride groom and bride will stand at the head of the table, and the banqueters, looking up, will wonder and admire and say: "That is Jesus, the liridegrooui. Jtut the scar on Ilia brow is covered with the coronet, and the stub in His side is covered with a voIik." nnd "That is the bride! The weari ness of her earthly woe lost in tho flush of this wedding triumph!" There will be wine enough at that wed ding, not coming up from the poisoned vats of earth, but the vineyards of (iod jwill press their ripest clusters, und the 'cups und the tankards will blush to the jbrim with the heavenly vintage, and then lull the banqueters will drink slunding. j Esther, having come up from the bac chanalian revelry of Ahaaucrus, where a ithousand lords feasted, will lie there. And Ithe Queen of Shebu, from the banquet of liSolomon, will be there. And the mother of Jesus, from the wedding in Cana, will 'be, there. And they all will agree that the earthly feasting was poor compared with that. Then, lifting their chalices in that light, they shall cry to the Iord of the feast, "Thou hast kept the good wine until now. ITHE SAI5BATH SCHOOL Blr C. Warrens nam.

JCver.v man should lie diligent ill business, and should eareiullv provide tor his liodilv wants, but still, that is not the principal thing.

Im bor not tor "the things whuli ace seen." lor they will perish with the handling; hut labor Inr I he things which arc "not seen.'' tor they an- eternal, and will en dure forever.

Jesus keeps them in doubt no longer; and yet, Avhen Jle speaks plainly the mystery onlv deepens; so blind is the natural heart. 1 am the One who givelh life unto the world and saves from the death of sin. "Shall never hunger." Shall never desire spirit ual grace and not have it given to him. Ill ii healthy spiritual condition the soul hungers and thirsts after (lod, but in Christ every desire of the inner life is fully met. nnd the promise to such is, "they shall be filled." 3(1. "And believe not." Thev closed their eyes, and Avould not accept the most positive, proof's of Christ's divinity. 37. "That the Kiither giveth Me." Those who yield to the influences of the Spirit, Avhen the Father draws them (v. 44), be long to Christ, inasmuch as He has pur chased tin-in and through His blood alone they call be saved. "In no wise cast out." "Never did Jesus reject the cry of a peni tent, however grievous Ins crimes might have been." 38. "The will of Him that Rent Me." Christ made the long journey from heaven to earth, not as a private person on a private mission, but "to settle affairs between the great Creator and the whole creation." 3!l. "1 should lose nothing." It is (.iod' Avill that all should be saved, und thut nothing be lost. Christ will lose nothing that is committed to llim. 41). "And believelh on Him." All who believe on Him are to be saved, and vv ill be raised up. Teachings, Men often pay an exter nal regard to Clkrist and His ordinances, not for the purpose of houming Him und obtaining spiritual blessings, but fur the. purpose of promoting their worldly inter ests und accomplishing their selfish ends. The givat work which Cod require at n sinner is not only to forsake his sins und renounce every evil thing, but ulso to he lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ us his Sa viour. MAX NORDAU AT HOME.

They were not allowed to hent their own ovens with fern, stub ble or stnnv or to bake at nli,'ht. They were not allowed to I like back bread from hucksters when once it had be come cold.

Private Individuals who hurl no oven of their own were In the habit of sciiillim their Hour to be kneaded by their own servants nt (bu moulding boards belonging to tho bak ers; the Ion vex beitiK baked In tbeii ovouh. Tbt profits of bakers were strictly defined. The finality of bread made was In degree Indicative of the rank of people who ute it. Tho finest and whitest was called "slmuel bread" and was only consumed by tho most luxurious persons occupying high rank, nnd lu afllueiif circumstances. The wealthy middle class used "Avuste bread," which is supposed to lmvo re senibled what we know as tho French "gateau."

A DEAD u 1 W '.-iSisr LIVER He thinks he lives, but he's a dead one. No person is really alive whose liver is dead. During the winter most people spend nearly all their time in warm, stuffy houses or offices or workshops. Many don't get as much exercise as they ought, and everybody knows that people gain weignt in winter. As a rule it is not sound weight, but means a lot of flabby fat mh.M ana useless, rotting matter staying in $ the body when it ought to have been driven out. But the liver was over burdened, deadened stopped work. There you are, with a dead liver, and spring is the time for resurrection. Wake up the dead! Oet all the tilth out ot your system, and get ready for the surrmer's trials with clean, clear blood, body, brain free from bile. Force is dangerous and destructive unless used in a gentle persuasive way, and the right plan is to give new strength to the muscular walls of the bowels, and stir up the liver to new life and work with CASCARETS, the great spring cleaner, disinfectant and bowel tonic.
