A jrreat multitude of Christian wo
man have met tojrether for a gener
ous puqiose. There is one woman
in that crowd who seems to have the
confidence of all the othera, and they
all look' up U her for her counsel
and for her prayers. Wtto is she?
This afternoon you will find her in.,
the Sabbath School, while the teach
er tells her of that Christ who clothed
the naked, and fed the hungry, and
healed the sick. My mind, leaps for
ward thirty years from now, and I
findg, myself in an African jmnrle;
andthere is a missionary of the cross
.addressing the natives, and thiir
dusky countenances are irradiated
with the jrlad tidinjrs of jrreat joy and
salvation. Who is he? Did- vou
tiot hear his voice
this
mormmr m
the first -son a of the service?
j My miiid leaps forward thirtv
years from now. and I find myself
lookinjr' throujrh tike wickets of a
prison. J see a face scarred with
every crin le. His chin on his open
palm, hiselbow on his knee a pic
ture of despair. As I open the.wicket
he starts and I hear his chain clank.
The jail-keeper tells me that he lias
been in there ihvw three times first
i for theft, theft for arson, now for mur
der. He steps upon the trap-door,
the rope is, fastened to his neck, the
pi; nk falls, his hod v-swings into the
air, ids soul swings off into( eternity.
Who is he, and. where is he? This
afternoon playing kite on the city
commons. Mother, vou are this
morning hoisting a throne or forging ;
a chain; you are kindling a star or !
digging a dungeon. :

her as she lieard her child erving:
"Water! Water! Water!" '"Ah!"
she says, "my darling, tliere is no

Cod's angel said from the cloud:
"What aileth thee, Hagar ?"; And

God, that there is in every wilder
ness a well, if you only know: how to
find jt fountains for all these thirsty
souls this' morning. On that last
day, on that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried : "If -any man
thirstj'let him come to Me and drink."
All these other fountains you find
are mere mirages of the desert. Par
acelsus, you know, spent his time in
trying to find out

a liquid in which, if taken, would
keep one perpetually voting in this
world,-and would change the aged
back again to youth. Of course he
iv; s disappointed ; he found not the
elixir. Hut 'here' I tell you this
morning of the elixir of everlasting
life bursting from the "Rock of Ages,"
and that drinking that water you
shall never get old, and you will
never be sick, and vou will never die.
"Ho, every'one that thirstcth, come
ye to the waters.'' Ah ! here is a
man who says: "I have been look
ing for that fountain a great while,
but can't find it." And here is some
one else who says: "I: believe all you
say, but I have been trudging along
in the wilderness and can't find the
fountain." Do you kiiow the reason ?
I will tell you. You never looked
in the right direction. "Oh," you
sav, "I have looked everywhere. I
have looked north, south, east, and
west, and I haven't found the foun
tain." Why, you are not looking in
'the .right direction at dll.
L(OK I P,
where j Hagar looked. She never
would have found the fountain at
all, but.Vhen she heard the voice of
the angel she looked up, and she saw
the finger pointing to the supply.
And, O soiil, if to-day with one ear
nest, intense prayer you would only
look up to Christ, He would point
you down to the supply in the wilder
