In another part of Africa, early in the Christian era, one plague of locusts is said to have caused the death of 800,000 persons; and in 591 nearly as bad a plague occurred in Italy. Again, in 1478, more than 30,000 persons perished in the Vene tian territories from famine caused by locusts. ■ Thunder, Lighting and Rain. Meteorologists have found there can he no thunder and lightning without rain. XX'hen thunder is heard beneath a clear sky’, the re ports must either come from distant clouds or be the result of some other cause than a discharge of electricity. Harvest or heat lightning is produ ced by’ a distant storm. Thunder seldom accompanies heat lightning, the sound reaching only about twelve miles, while lightning is often seen, by reflection upon nearer clouds, at a much greater distance.

Father, 1 will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with ine where I am ; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me for thou lovedat me be fore the foundation Mjffthe world” —John xvii, 24. The prayer of the Saviour rises as it proceeds. He asked for his peo ple that they migit be preserved from the world, then that they might be sanctified, and l then that they might be made mnnStestly one; and now he reaches bi**3browning point —that they mat' tiuMjrith him where lie is, and behold his glory,. It is well when in prayer tho spirit takes to itself wings. The prayer that swings to and fro like a door upon its hinges may admit to fellowship; but that prayer is more after the di vine pattern which, like a ladder, ri ses round by round, until it loses it self in heaven. This last step of our Lord’s prayer is not,only above all the rest, but it is a longer step thaji any of the others. He here as cends, not from one blessing which may be enjoyed on earth, to another of higher degree; but he mounts right away from all that is of this present state into tha< which is re served for the eternal future. He quits the highest peaks of grace, and at a single stride his prayer sets its toot in glory: ‘‘That they also, when thou hast ‘given me, be with me where I am.” Mv brethren, my comrades, my delights, are leaving me tor the bet ter land. We have enjoyed holy and happy fellowship in days of peace, and we have stood shoulder to shoul der in the battle of the Lord ; but we are melting away. Oue has gone; an other has gone ; betore we look round another will have departed. We see them for a moment, ar.d they’ vanish from our gaze. Who among us will go next? We stand like men amazed. Some of ns stood next in the vark with those who have been taken Why this constant thinning of our ranks while the warfare is so stern ? Why this removal oflhe very best when we so much need the noblest examples? 1 am bowed down, ~n •ojjd host ex -O'U”--T3 mj'Toli in a ustw of tears as - the line of graves so newly digged; hut I restrain myself from so carnal a mode of regarding the matter, and look upon it in a clear er light. The master is gathering the ripest of his fruit, and well doth he deserve them. His own dear hand is putting his apples of gold in to his baskets of silver; and as we see that it is the Lord, we are bewil dered no longer. His word, as it comes before us in the text, calms and quiets our spirits. It dries, our tears, and call us to rejoicing as we hear our heavenly Bridegroom pray mg, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am.” We understand why the dearest and best are going. We see in whose hand is heid the magnet which attracts them to the skies. One by one they must depaitfrom this low land country to dwell above, in the palace of the King, for Jesus is drawing them to himself. Our dear babes go home because “he ’gathereth the iambs with his arm and earneth them in his bosom”; and our ripe saints go home because the Beloved is come into his garden to gather li 1 lies. Observe our Lord had said, “Holy Father,” and toward the close of the prayer he said, “O righteous Father”; but in commencing this particular petition he uses the word “Father” by itselfalone : this relationship is in itself so dear that it agrees best with the loftiest petition. I like to think of that name “Father,” as used in this connection. Is it not the centre of living unity. If there is to be a family gathering and reun ion, where should it be hut in the father’s house? Who is at the head of the table but the father? All the interest of the children unite in the parent, and he feels for them all. WHAT CAN BE MORE RIGHT THAN THAT CHILDREN SHOULD Go HOME TO THEIR FATHER? Fora him thes’ came to him they owe their life; should they not al ways tend toward him, and should not this be the goal of their being, that the\* should at last dwell in his presence? To go away from the lather and to live apart troin him is the sorrow ol our tallen nature as it plays the prodigal ; but the cora nnng back to the father is restora tion to life, to peace, to happiness Yes. all our hopeful steps are toward the Father. Shall any one of us la raent the process? No; we dare not complain that our choicest brethren are taken up to gladden the great lather s house. Our brother is gone ; but we ask, “where is he gone?’ and when the answer comes, “he is gone to the father,” all notion of complaint is over. To whom else should he go? When the great First born went away from ns, he told his sorrowing followers that he was go ing to their father and his father; and that answer was enough. So, when our friend, or our child, or our wife or our brotner. is goue. it is enough that he is with the father. To call them back due* not occur to us; but rather we each one desire to follow after them. “Father I long, I faint to see The place of thine abode: I’d leave thine earthly courts and flee Up to thy seat my God.” A child may bo happy at school, but he longs for the hollidays. Is it merely to escape his lessons? Ah, no! Ask him, and he will tell you, “I want to go home to see my father.” The same is equally true, and possi ble more so, if we include the femi nine form of parentage. What a home cry is that of “mother” ! The sight of that dean face has been longed and hungered for oy many a child when tar away. Mother or father, which you will; they are blended in the great fatherhood of God. Let it but be said that any one has gone to his father, and no further question is asked as to the right of his going thither. To the father belongs the first possession of the child; should he not have his own chdil at home? The Saviour wipes our tears away with a handkerchief which is marked in the corner with this word—“father.” The force which draws us home lies in the word, “I will.” Jesus Christ, our most true God, veiled in human form, bows his knee and prays, and throws his divine energy into the prayer for the bringing homo of his redeemed. This one ir resistible, everiastinly almighty prayer carries everthing before it. “father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, he with me where I am,” is the centripetal en ergy which is drawing all the family of God toward its one home. How shall the chosen get home to the father? Chariots are provided. Here are the chariots of fire and horses of fire in this prayer. “I will,” sayth Jesus, “that they be with me”; and with him they must be. There are difficulties in the way—long nights and darkness lie between, and hills of guilt, and for ests of trouble, and hands of fierce tern ptations ; yet the pilgrims shall surely reach their journey's end, for the lord’s “I will” shall be a wall of fire round about them. In this pe titition I see both sword and shield for tho church militant. Here I see the eagles’ wings on which they shall be upborne till they enter within the golden gates. Jesus saith, “L will ;” and who is he that shall hinder tho home-coming of the chosen ? As well hope to arrest the marches of the stars of Heaven. You cannot hol,d your dying babe; for Jesus nsiv.-! ' ■ - i- . Ti'.m, new. you come into competition with your Lord? Surely y’ou will not. You cannot hold your aged father, nor detain your beloved mother, be yond the time appointed ; for the intercession of Christ has such a force about it that they must as cend even as sparks must seek the sun. More than intercession is found in the expression “I will.” it sug gests the idea ot a testamentary be quest and appointment. The Lord Jesus is making His last will and testament, and he writes, “father. 1 will that they also, whom thou hast given me, ne with me.” How are the saints to be hindered from what the Lord wills? They must rise from their beds of dust and silent clay ; they must rise to bo with Jesus where He is, for Jesus wills it. By your axious care you may seek to detain them ; you may sit about their bed and nurse them both night and day, but they must quit these dark abodes when Jesus gives the signal. Tou may clutch them with with affectionate eagerness, and even cry in despair.” They shall not go, we cannot bear to part with them” ; but go they must when Jesus calls. Take back your naughty hands, which would detain them ; for naughty they are if you would rob your Saviour. Would you cross His will ? Would you set at naught His testament? You could not if 3-ou would ; 3’ou would not if you could. Father be inclined to go "with them than think to resist the heavenly at traction which upraises them. If Jesus saith, “1 will,’ then it is yours to say, “not as 1 will, but as thou wilt. They were never so much mine as they are thine. 1 never had so much right to them as thou hast who hast bought them. They never so truly could be at home with me as they will be at home with thee in thine own bosom ; so my will dissolves itself into thy will, and I say with steadfast resig nation, ‘let them go.’ ” Brothers and sisters, yon perceive the forces which are bearing away our beloved ones. I see tender hands reaching after us ; they are invisible to sense, but palpable to faith. Lords of love are being cast about the chosen, and they are be ing drawn out secretly from their fellows. Would you break those bands asunder, and cast those cords from us? I beseech 3'ou, think not so; but let that pierced hand which bought the beloved ones seek out its own purchase and bring them home. Should not Jesus have his own ? Do we not bow our knee jand pray to Jesus, “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven” ? The description is, “they also, whom thou hast given me.” I feel right glad that there is no sort of personal character mentioned here, but onl\' —“those whom thou hast given me." It seems as if the Lord in his last moments was not so much looking at the fruit of grace as at grace itself; he did not so much note either the perfections or the imperfections of His people, but only the fact that they were His by the eternal gift of the Father. THEY BELONGED TO THE FATHER— “thine they were.” The Father gave them to lesus—“thou gavest them me.” The Father gave them as a love token and a means at his Son’s glorification—“thine they were and thou gavest them me” ; and now our Lord pleads that because they were the Father’s gift to him he should have them with him. Does anybody raise a cavil as to Christ’s right to have those with him who were his Father’s, whom his Father gave him, and whom he himself act ually took into his own possession ? No, they ought to be with him, since the}' are his in so divine a manner. If i possess a love-token that some dear one has given me I rightly do sire to have it with me. Nobody can have such a right to your wed ding-ring, good sister, as you have yoursell, and are not Christ’s saints, as it were, a signet upon his finger, a token which his Father gave him of his good pleasure in him ? Should the}’ not be with Jesus where he is, since they are his crown-jewels and his glory* ? We in our creature love litt up our hands, and cry, “my Lord, my Master, let me have this dear one with me a little longer. I need the companionship of one so sweet, or life will be misery to me.” But if Jesus looks us in the face, and{ say’s, “is thy right better than mine?’* we draw back at once. He has a greater part in his saints than wt" can have. O Jesus, thy r Father gav them to thee of old ; they’ are his re ward for travail of thy soul ; and fa be it from us to deny’ thee. Thougl j blinded by our tears, we can yet se< the rights of Jesus, and we loyally! admit them. Christ reveals to us somethin; concerning the home companionahi I in the glory 7 land. Those who ar taken away, where are they gone The text saith, “1 will that they whom thou hast given me be wit 1 * me where I am ; that they’ may be hold my glory.” By this languag i we are impressed with the nearne.-J of the saints to Christ in glory- | “that they may be with me.” Thin j for a moment: when our Lord use j these words, and John took thei down, the disciples were with hiii They had left the supper tab. where they had feasted togethc! The Master had said, “Arise, o us go hence” ; and it was in I’- cV\ uitOst ov ti-’oru thVi u..<* l_’' _ Jesus offered this choice prayei* Learn, then, that in Heaven th saints will be nearer to Christ tha the apostles were when thLy sat a - table with him, or heard hir pray. Our bodies will rise from the dust and they must occupy a place: that place will be where Jesus is. Eve spirits must be somewhere ; and tha; somewhere with us is to be wher Jesus is. We are to be, not meta; phorically and fancifully, hut really truly’, literally with Jesus. Weshal enjoy an intense nearness to Him ii, that blessed place which the Fat has prepared for Him, and wb He is preparing for us.

THEY’ SERVE HIM, AND THEY’ SEE I, FACE. Who would be ro cruel as to keep saint from 3uch a fair country? would desire all good for my chi dren, my relatives, my Inends ; an what good is better than to be wher Jesus is ? Are you not glad to hea of the promotion of those who low you? Will you quarrel with Go< because some of your dearest one are promoted to the skies? Th. thought of their amazing blis greatly moderates our natural grief We weep for ourselves, but as we r< member their companionship witi the altogether lovely one a smih blends with our tears. Observe the fellowship which ex ists in the glory land, Read th< verse : “That they may behold M\ glory, which Thou hast given Me.” What a blending of persons j Where did our Lord’s glory come trom ? “Thou gavest it Me,” says Jesus, lienee it is the Father’s glory passed over to the Son. Yef Jesus calls it “My glory,” for it i truly liis own. The saints are to behold this, and it will be their glory to see it. Here we have the Father, and the Eider Brother, and the many brethren, and a wonderful communism of interests and posses! sions. It is ever so in a loving ta ,rr ly. There we draw no hard anf fat lines of ineum and tuuin. / “A* thine are mine, and mine are 4hine.’, We ask not whose is this? or whos< is that? when we are at holme.
