1 learn one more lesson from this Uriental

s {‘llt‘JllltI that is that every wilderness has a
well in it. Hagaranl Ishmael gave up to
die Hagar‘s heart sank within her as she
heard her child crying: ““‘nterl water!
wateri" “Ah." she sa_ s “my darling. there
is no water. This is a desert." And then
God's ante] said from the cloud:. “\Vbat
aileth thee. Hagan“ And she looked up and
saw him pointing to a well of water. where
she filled the bottle for the lad. Blessed he
lied that there is in every wilderness a well,
if you only know how to find it—fount-ains
for all these tbiisting souls this morning.
On that Ins: day, on that. rent day of the
feast. Jesus stood and criei : “If any man
thirst. let him come to me and drink." All
these other fountains you flu' are mere
mirages of the desert. Paracolsus. you
know.spent his time in trying to findmt the
elixir of life—a liquid which. if taken, would
keep one (perpetually young in this world,
and woul c ange the age back again to
outh. Of course he was disappointed: he
ound not. the elixir. But 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 you will
neverl die. "Ho, everv one that thirsteth.
come ya to the waters: ’ Ah, here is a man
who says: “I have been looking for that
fountain a. great while, but can‘t find it.”
And here is some one else who says: “I be‘
have all you say, but I have been trudging
along in the wiliieruw, anl can‘t find the

 

fountain. " you know the reason!
I thl tell you. You no car looked
In the right direction. ‘ ‘Oh," you

say, “I have looked eve where. I have
looked North. South. Eastryend IVest and I
haven‘t found the fountain." Why, you
are not looking in the right :dlrection "at
all. Look up, ,where Hagar looked. She
never would have found the fountain at all
but when she heard the voice of the ’
she looked up and she saw the finger point-
Ing to the supply. And, 0 soul, if to-day
With one earnest, intense prayer you would
only look up to Christ, He would not point
you down to the supply in the wilderness.

Playing Substitute for an Invalid.

During the war about twenty Confedv
crate prisoners were at Fort Mcucury,
stored away in a folder loft under guard.
One morning (‘aptaiu Ned Bridges was
playing an innocent game of cards when
the sick call was sounded—the signal for
ailing soldiers to report at the surgeon's
other: and be examined.

“Lieutenant,” said Captain Bridges,

turning to a young soldier, “answer sick

call for me and let us finish this game.
Go down there and personatc me and tell
the doctor you want another box of his
liver pills.” .

The obli ing Lieutenant marched out
and proc ed with other soldiers, under
escort of the nerds, to the surgeon‘s of.

was called, the Lieutenant‘s face ap«

Missed Ills Discharge.

As hospital steward of our regiment I
had opportunity to notice the ifl’erent
tricks and devices employed for “getting
out of thi- army," says it write.- in the
Detroit Fru' l‘riu. (Inc of the most
laughable and best piavcd was that of a
private of one of the companies, who had
been suffering: from rheumatism for some
time. He persistently used a cane while
walking—cue of his legs appeared to be
drawn up and lame. Although closely
watched, be had been :0 consistent in
his actions that the regimental surgeon
and camp ofiicers thought it best to give
him a discharge. After having been ex-
amined by the brigade saigmn the‘
sofdhzr‘s papers were sent up to bend-
quartEIe, but on account of some ,reds
tape omission ca‘nc bark to us for cor-
rection. The campinggmnnd, on the
right trunk oftthe Mississippi, was very
much infested by rats. and the boys ens
joyed themselves by pouring water into
the rats’ holes, causing them to come out.
whereupon they would be pursued and
much fun resulted from the chase. ' One
morning while _, eating breakfast our
crip 'ed soldier was standing near the
kitchen tent, a dueply-mlcrcsled SPPC-
tator of the sport: the boys‘wcre having
in drowning out and watching the sons-

man surprised us by running as fast and
well as a schoolboy would, calling out:
“Rats, boys, there is 8 mt," and throw—
ing his one at the rat at the same time.
