(John 11 ■The neat scene which occupies our attendee is the occasion of the resui rocttoc of Lazarus. In the time of the sickness of Lazarus, these slaters had sent tot Jesus Jesus loved the mem- Ben c i this household, and yet. strange to say. He delayed His going unto them, Martha met Him with rebuke, saying that If He hftd been there her Brother bad not died. This carried with it the censure for His delay un der snch trying circumstances. This fUl&.of Martha called forth some mar ' votous teachings on the resurrection. After this Interview with Martha, she came to Mary with the message of a call from Jesus Mary was composed and remained in the house until called for. SJe Immediately responded to this call and used the Identical words of Martha, but instead of rebuking her. He mingled His tears of sympathy with hers of sorrow. The reason she had such composure In this dark hour Lwta that she had patiently sat at His Sjset and listened to His word so that ; 4 a understood the meaning of the S-wßedy. The difference then in the Behavior of these two women In this lark hour was doubtless due to the tort that in the jays of sunshine Mary Ntf entered fully into fellowship with the Lord and that M.irtha. had lost this grace through her fretfulness. 111.

Tallant, Subject:—'‘Separate.” Text: Matt. 10:34. Think not that I came to send peace on earth. I came not to aend peace but a sword. A sword is a cutting imple ment. A sword is a divider, A sword is a separator. First we must have a cutting asunder, a separation, a division. Then cornea peace, rest, union, quietitude, fellowship, joy and progress. Asa farmer, if you are not successful, cut loose or separate from yonr present meth ods and be directed by common sense. Asa mechanic, lawyer, teacher, doctor, or editor, if you make a success you must daily separate yourself from errors and ignorance and be transform ed to light. Why should a farm er go around humped under a load of ignorance all his life? Ex ercise your brain. Whyjbe a me chanic ten years to get intelli gence enough to construct a chicken coop? Why should a law yer take nis seat under a dilpi dated shingle and read novels and talk politics and lose out out on prudence and jurisprudence? Wny should a doctor court as epidemic and use a multiplicity of words? Why not cure one case and get a dozen more? As to editors, they are so full of blunders and such necessary evils, if I could I would, just bunch them and turn them all over to the Lord at once. Is all well with you? Is there no danger, approaching? The sword sent by Christ Jesus is our sword. It separates us from our evils. Then it is in our power to üße it to separate sin from righteousness, good from evil, Peter and Andrew were fish ing; the sword of separation had arrived on earth; they heard a yoice saying. Follow roe. They followed. Unregenerate: Has the sword of the spirit never said to you, Follow me? James and John were at work and the request to them was, “follow me,” The sword, the Word, separated them from their former calling. Act honest, young people. Have you not heard the call cf the still “small voice?” Matthew was not in a revival but busily engaged in a “custom house.” The sword that was sent to divide the world smote him and separated him from his former assoeiates, customs, hab its. and he followed. Have you, reader, never been called? Have you never been to the cross fence that separates darkness from light, ignorance from knowledge, sin from holi ness? Have you never been in calling distance of heaven? It not, where have you been? You may deny it, but if you have arrived at the strge of ac countabilitp you have felt the impress of the sword-the spirit of ftruth that is to touch every one that cometh into the world, Saul was a persecutor, an hon ost Jewish officer. He labored legally under the law dispensa tion. The sword of division smote him as he neared damascus. He was separated from his law ser vice and put in the grace brigade or under the covenant of grace. Here we might dismiss the dolts, dullards, idiots, idiosyncrasy and most of the dupes, and ask you if your common sense don’t teach you better than to aet a fool and go to hell? <T’- somebodp says, grace! Saved by grace! So say I. Then accept it and shut pour mouth. But somebody says, faith! faith! So say I. Exercise it and rejoice in hope. But some body says works! works! So say I. Put on your harness just right and get at it. But some body says elect! elect! So say I. Then become an elect by being grafted in having an incision made in pour left aide by the sword and a cutting from the ‘‘true vine” inserted. Christ is the Elect. Sinner, you may want to plead good works. AH right. If you had a court of gorillas, chipaneez and prairie dogs, they could hear your pleadings and reward you amply. You may think it too great a sacrifice on your part to give up all for Christ Christ Jeaua made a cemplete sacrifice for you and he only wants to treat you as your moth er did in infancy—was you,dress you up, take care of pou, keep yov decent Itili the Father needs you. You may be ashamed to acknowledge Christ. If Christ Jeaua ia not the Lord then Jeho vah is not the Creator and that would make you a common ani mal or on the gorilla descent. Turn about, separate from evil, yield to the sword’s division, then live on forever. BROOKWOOD.

Revs J W Gill and Hardagree have just closed a revival at Pleasant View. The farmer is the most dis couraged man we know just now and no wonder. If he makes any thing to put on the market he sells for the lowest price that said stuff ever brings, and when he buys he pays the highest price so the men between get the prof it going and coming: and when he sells the other fellow does the weighing and when he buys the same thing happens, and yet he Is the one that feeds the world. Wish we had a thousand men like Thos E Watson. Now some old mass back have a fit. Rev J W Gill;is running a meet ing at Sheltonville this week.
