Tin: vii.laoi: or .az.u:i:th. Grand old village is Nazareth, even put ting aside its sacred as-nr iations. First of all, it is clean; and that can bo said of few of the oriental villages. Its neighboring town of Nablouf is the lllihicst town 1 ever saw, although its chief industry is the manufacture of soap. They export all of It. Nazareth was perhaps unusually clean the morning 1 speak of. for as we rode into t lie village t ho el'tcrnoon before the show ers which had put our macintoshes to the test had poured floods through all the ulleys under command of the clouds, t lit. thorough street comniLssioners. lieside.s that, Na.aielh has lieen the scene battles passing it. from Israelite to 5Io hammedun nnd lrom -Mohammedan to Christian, the mast wonderful of the bat tles being that in which twenty-five thou Hand Murks were beaten by twenty-one hundred reach, Napoleon HonaparU commanding, mat greatest ot J renciimi walking these veiy streets through which JeMls walked lor ne.uly thirty years, the morals of the tivn 'Jie antipodes, the snows of I ii:.ssn and the plague, of Kgypt appropriately iuiiowiiv tlie one. the eluv alogies ol eartli and the hallelujahs of heaven appropriately following the other.

The God of nature who is the (iod of the Hiblo svriontly .-cooped out this valley for pri racy and separation from all the world .Hiring three mo-t important decades, the thirty years ot (Jurists boyhood and youth, for of thu thitty-threo years of t:iirists stay on earth he spent thirty of them in this town in gutting ready a fiartiing reuiiKe to tiiose wlm have no m tieuce with the long jews, of preparation necessary when they enter on any special mission lor tliu church or the world.

He content with Nazareth until you are ready for the biill'etiiigs of Jerusa lem, ou may get so gloriously i-tjiilpptel iu the thirty years that you can do moie in threa years than most men can accomplish in a prolonged lifetime. These little sug gestions am apt to put into my sermon, hoping to help people lor this world, while 1 am chiefly anxious to have them prepare tor the next world. vnnni: ciiiim' was a nor. All Christ's bojhood was spent in this Ullage and its surroundings. There is the very well called -'The Fountain or thu Vir gin," to which by his mother's side lie trotted along holding her baud. No doubt about it; it is the only well in tie- village, and it lias been the only well for three thousand year. This morning we i-.it it, und the mothers have their children witli llicm now as then. Tlie work of drawing Water in all ages in those countries has been women's work. Siores of them are uniting for their turn at it, three great nnd uvurliintiug springs rolling out, into that well their barrels, their hogsheads of water in Hoods gloriously abundant. The well is surrounded by olive groves ami widu spaces in which people talk ami chil dren, wearing cluirms on their heads as protection ai;niti-t the "evil eye," are play ing, and women with their strings of coin on either side of ttie-ir face, and in skirts of blue and scarlet and white and gieeu move on witii water jur.s on their heads. Mary, I suppose, almost alwa took Jesus the boy with her, for she had no one she could lea ve him with, bdng in humble cir laiui.stanee.s and having no utlcmluiits. I do not believe there was one oi the fair rounding fifteen hills that the boy Christ did not range from batoni to top, or one cavern in their sides lie .lid not explore, or one. sjKTics of bird Ilyiux across the tops that he could not call by name, or one of all thu species of fauna browsing on those steeps Unit ho had not rccogniAsd. You sec it all through hi.i .-ernioiis. if a man "oes-otucs a public speaker, in his ora tions or discourses you discover ins uaily wherealiouts. What a buy sees between T and 17 always s;tickn to him. When the apostle Peter pi caches you see thu Hilling nets with which lie had from Ids earliest days been famili.tr. And when Amos delivera his prophecy you heur iu it the bleating of the herds which he had in boyhood attended, And in our lord's .ser mons and conversations you see all the phases of village life and the mounuun 011 lift) surrounding it. They raised their own chickens in Nazumth, and in after lime ho crios: "U Jerusalem! Jerusaleml how often would I havu gathered thee as a lieu g.itluuth her chickens under her wings!" lie had seen his mother oh-h the family wardroboatt ho close of summer and the moth millers flying out, having de stroyed thegarmenlfc.and in after years ho Hays: "Luy not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth doth corrupt." In childhocf1 he had seen a mile of llowers, white uc Jtho snow, or red as tho llame, or blue as the se.i, or gresjn as the tree topi, etnil no wjinder iu Ids manhood sermon he jaid, "Cuti'tlder thu lilies,."

Ho had in boyhood teen tlie shepherds get their lln. ks mixed up and to one not lamllmr wue 'he habit t of shepherds and the'r flock", hopelessly mixed up. And a sheepst caler appears cm tlie scene nntl dis honestly th'iirmtlM some of those sheep, when he owns not, one of tlicru. "Well," say the two honest shepherds, "we will soo. i settle this matter," and one shepherd goes out in one direction mid the other shepherd goes out iu the ol her direct Ion, and the sheepst oaler In mint iter direction, and each one calls, and the Hocks of eneh of the honest shepherds rush to their ow ner, wiiile the sluvpste iler calls and calls ai'iiin, but gets not one of the Hock. No wonder I hat Christ, j tmrs aft'"-, preaeh iniroli a vr-it oeersioti anil Illustrating his own shepherd finalities, says; "When lie putteth forth Ins own sh.'eu he go-t h before them, and the sheep follow him, for I hey know his voice, and the stranger they will not lollow, for they know not the voice of the sir ii.er."' Tim sitles of these, hills are terr.ie 'd for grapes. The bjy Christ hail often st,ie,( with great round eyt s watching the t rimming of the grapevines. ( 'lip! iroes t U" knife and oil' falls a brai.ch. Tile child (In ist says to I hi; fanner. "What do you do thai for"" ' Uh," s.iys the farm er, "licit is a d"ad branch ami it is doing nothiii.; Mid is only iu the way, so 1 cut it off." i'licti l he farmer with Iim sirup kmlV prune- froian liing branch this and that tendril and the other tendril. "Hut," says thclidd Christ, ''those twigs that you clit oil' now : lire in, I tlead; what do you tin that t'ii '-" "tlh." sajs the fat mi r, "wo prime eti' these thai the main braie h may have mole of I he sap and so be mure fruitful." No wonder in after years Christ said in his sermon, "limn he ti ue ine and my father is the hnsliaiitlm.iii; every branch in me that Ixviuih not fruit lie I -i k tit away, and every branch thai beureth fruit he puriceth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." Capital! No cue who hail notliceii a country boy would have saitl that. Ktreaks of nature all through Christ's sermons and conversations' When a pigeon tlccjuded iipnli Chrisl s lientl at his hup-; lisia in the Jordan it was not the first pigeon he had seen. And then he has siieh i wide .swejp of dibuour-,' as you may im ig- ' ine from one who has stood on the hills ' hat ovc-look Na.arcth. As far as I under stand, Christ visited the .Mediterranean sea only out e, but any clear morning he! could run up on a hill near Na.arcth and look olf to the west and see the AU'diter- ' ranean. wiiile there in the north is sno,vy Mount Lebanon, clad, us In white robe of as cension, anil yonder on the east ami south- ' ea.st .Mount Gilboa, .Mount Tabor and Mount (lilead. and yonder in the south is the plain of Ksdrnclon oer which we rode yesterday on our way to Nazareth. Those mountains of his boyhood iu his memory, 1 do joii wonder that Christ when he wanted a good pulpit made it out of a mountain -"seeing the multitude's he went up into thu mountain." And when he wanted es-pi'-cinl communion w ith Cod he took James and John and Peter into "a mountain apart." nt: was a i ou;;ti:i nor. ' Oh, this country boy or Nazareth, come ! forth to atone for tho sins of the world and to correct thu follies of the world, and to stamp out tlie crui itics of the world, and to illumine the darkness of the woi Id, and to translign-e t he h, mispheics!
