A discourse k.S God's omnipotence and man's lim itations would not have had such an efTent upon Job as the interrogation of the text: "Canst thou bind the sweet' influence of the Pleiades? These words also recognize far reaching influences. Job probably had no adequate idea of the distance of the worlds mentioned from our world, but he knew them to be far off, and we, who have the advantage of modern - sidereal investigation, ouht to be still more impressed the text, as it puts before us the fact i that worlds hundreds of thousands!

Paul, who was all the time saying important things, said nothing more startlingly suggestive than when he declared: "None of us liveth or dieth to himself." Words, thoughts, actions, have an eternity of flight, fluences of the Seven Stars, as they were called, so we cannot arrest or turn aside the good projected long ago. Those influences were started centuries before our cradle was rocked and will reign centuries after our graves are dug. Oh, it is a tre mendous thing to live! God help us to live aright. Astronomers can easily locate the Pleiades. They will take you into their observatories on a clear night and aim their revealing instrument toward the part in the heavens where those seven stars have their habi tude, and they will point to the con stellation Taurus, and you can see for yourself. But it is impossible to point to influences far back that have affected our character and will affect our destiny. We know the in fluences near by paternal, maternal. conjugal but by the time we have j gone back two generations or at t most three our investigations falter and fail. Through the modern in teresting habit of searching back to find the ancestral tree we ma3' find a long list of names, but they are only names. The consecration or abandonment of some one 200 years ; ago was not recorded.

V A&V. M J1.V L M.M r, they were shells or pebbles or pods a f t ;t;0o instead of embryo eternities I J Notice also in my text the influ- ence of other worlds upon this world. I We all regard the effect which our continent has upon other continents or one hemisphere upon the other hemisphere. Great harvest or drought affects the other side of our world. A panic in Wall street, New York, has its echo in Lombard street and the bourse. The nations of the earth cablegrammed together all feel the same thrill of delight or shock of woe. But we do not appreciate the influ ence of other worlds upon our world. The autb-or oi viJ' text rouses us to the consideration. It takes all the worlds -of known and unknown Nas tronomy to keep our world in its or bit, every world dependent on other worlds. The stellar existence is felt all through the heavens. Every con stellation is a sisterhood. Our planet feels the benediction of Alcyone and all the other stars of the "Pleiades. Yea, there are two other worlds that decide the fate of our world, its re demption or its demolition. Those two worlds are the headquarters of angelology and demonology. From the one world came Christ, come min istering spirits, come all gracious in fluences. From the other wor1"1 L all satanic and diabolic influences. From that world of moral right rose the power that wrecked our poor world 6,000 years ago, and all the good work done since then has not been able to get our world out of the breakers. But the signals of dis tress have been hoisted and the life lines are out, and our world's re lease is certain. The good influences of the "consecrated people in our world will be centupled by the help from the heavenly world, and the Di vine power will overcome the de moniac. O man, O woman, expand your idea and know the magnitude of a contest in which three worlds are specially interested. - From all the seven worlds which my text calls the Pleiades there come no such powerful influences - as from the two worlds that I am jiow mentioning. My only hope for this world is in the reen- j forcement that is to come from an other world. But that is promised, and so I feel as sure of the ratifica tion of all evil as though looking out of my window to-day I saw the parks and the gardens flowering into anoth er paradise and the apocalyptic angel flying through the midst of Heaven with the news that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord. - My text called Job and calls us to consider "the swest Influence. Wo put too much emphasis upon the acid ities of life, upon the irritations of life, upon the disappointments of life. Ammianus Marcellinus said thai Chaldea was in olden times overrun with lions, but many of them lost their power because, the great swamps produced many gnats that would get into the' eyes of the lions, and the lions to free themselves of the gnats would claw their own eyes out and then starve. And in our time many a lion has been overcome by a gnat. The little stinging annoyances of life keep us from appreciating the sweet influences. And how many of these last there are! Sweet influences of home, however plain it may be! That is the harbor into which we sail. That is the goal for which we run. That is the place where we rest.

Alevone. the cen- for a long while was Alcyone, the cen ter of the constellation of the Plei ades, world of our future residence, as we hope; world of chorus and il lumination, world of reunion, world where we shall be everlastingly com plete, world where our old faculties will be intensified and quickened and new faculties implanted, world of high association with Christ, through whose grace we got there at all, and apostles and poets Habakkuk and St. John, of Patmos, and Edward Young, his "Night Thoughts!- turned into eternal day; and Horatius Bonar, of modern hymnology; andllannah More, and Mrs. Hemans and Mrs. Sigourney, who struck their harps till nations lis tened; and David, the victor over Go liath with what seemed insufficient weapons; and Joshua, of the pro longed day in Gibeon; and navelock, the evangelist hero, and those thou sands of men of the sword who fought on the right side. What company to move in. What guests Xo entertain! What personages to visit! What choirs to chant! What banquets with lifted chalices filled with "the new wine of the kingdom!" What victories to celebrate! The stories of that world and its holy hilarities come in upon our soul sometimes in song, sometimes in ser mon, sometimes in hours of solitary reflection, and they are, to use the words of my text, sweet influences But there is one star that affects us more with its sweet influence than the center star, the Alcyone of the Plei ades, and that is what one Bible au thor calls the Star of Jacob and anoth er Bible author calls the Morning !st ar.

He was the loveliest being who ever trod our earth, more beauty in His eye, more tenderness in His man ner, more gentleness in His footstep, n.ore music in His voice, more dignity in His brow, more gracefulness in the locks that rolled upon His shoulders, more compassion in His soul. Sweet influences1 of the Holy Ghost, with all His transforming and coin fortingandemancipatingpower! When that power is fully felt, there will be no more sins to pardon and no more wrongs to correct and no more sor rows to comfort and no more bondage to break.

To him who knows not where to go, there can be no better place suggested than the Pocono mountains, lying in the northeast ern part of Pennsylvania, along the beauti ful Delaware river.

The elevation of the mountains varies from 2,600 to 2,000 feet, and -are one dense growth of pine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other large game are plentiful, and though the region is visited by thousands of sportsmen every year, there seems to be no noticeable decrease in the attractions offered.
