When losses and alillc tions gather thickly as a dark cloud shutting out tbe light of hope and leaving the euirr. Jug one enveloped hi impenetrable gjoom. then bow cheering, how like a sudden ray of light gleaming through tbe dark clouds, is tbe word or look ef sympathy, and the warm clasp of the friendly band. These thoughts were fore bly impressed upon my mind by an incident which came under my observation not long ago. This as the inlrtbfulness excited In the uiindof a thoughtless young lady at what seemed to her the grotesque appearance of some per sons upon whom the hand of 8 miction -weighs .heavily. She did not realize that youth, and beauty, and wealth, and friend were no protection against the ravages of time, or that sickness and suffering respect neither age nor rank. When her llm to suffer shall oome and come it surely will may kind friends sur round her and tho raoe of tbe loving Heavenly Father be her support. O toy friends be kind to the t JUicted. l.iOItA. evening Lecture. Feb. 14th, 1675 1 Every banian want marks a llne'of Ind try and Invention. Man's natural wants few and simple, but they become more cq plez and more numerous as be progrese civilization and refinement. Tho 8 ret mand of nature is for food, and tbe lead struggle of human life is an answer to demand. Tbe great mass of men toll and! bor simply for their bread. It will be In eating to note some of tbe phases of this strl gle. How would eru hotel have astonished Abraham or j zled Plato, or disgusted that old cynic, ogenesl I Ak any housewife among us, what I consiuers me necessaries or we in toe Jit food. She will likely say, bread, meat, ter, eggs, poultry, milk, salt, sugar, lea, fee, fruits, vegetablts, etc., etc. And u of tbee are generlo terms that imply a list of specitio articles say a half a d i kinds of bread, as many varieties of A and poultry; seven or eight kinds of ve bles and a dozen kinds of frnit. Now, A bam ate mtat only on special ocoasj. Gen. ISiO, He never heard of tea, coffeir sugar. Two or three of tbe coarsest varjs of bread, as many kinds ot truit, and peris a less number of vegetables comlelods list. Butter was unknown to tbe GrB. Sugar was Introduced into Eogland lie fourteenth century. What we call Irisb tatoes wore unknown to the civilized ud before America was discovered. Teaas first used in Europe in the sixteenth cla ry, and cofl'oe not until tbe middle die feyemeenth, .yt we count these:'' WB8 uinong tbe necessaries of life. I Simplicity in tbe art of preparing fooiso passes away as civilztlon advances, Jhe first bread was simply tbe ripe train riled out by bana and eaen. This was coilon in the days of Christ. Luke, 0:1. PefP by accident men learned to prerer tlxbm or wheat parched, lhen some "Invebt" conceived the idea of bruising It batweelwo stones and mixing It with water and bung it In the ashes. Then the two stone ae place to, a mortar; tbe tnorlar loiahan ill); the hard mill to a pair of ugh burrs. Then a coarce 'sieve was lade of reeds, then a liner one ot hair or wii At last, to make a long story short, tbe prgress of evolution developed from thete beitifiings a modern grist mill with all Iih bnrnl bolts smut machines and other mHchineryjcapa ble of turnlngout'a thousand barrels ojwhlt6 flour In a day. At the stiuie time thepritn'- tlve modes of baking have been soloiroved tels are good Institutions for travelers, but people who have no other "home" are to be pitied. ' But after all it, is bad to have the home en- finely dedicated to eating; to have tbe purse constantly drained aud ibf energies of tho faml)yentlrely detoted to tbe furnishing of J sumptuous table while the wants of mind are forgotten. "Better "Is a dinner of herbs twher;e love Is, than a stalled ox nnd hatred therewith." "Grace before meal" is a good seasoning and tbanktjlness and cheerful ness are tbe best condiments. Let Intelli gence sparkle at the table like the glass ware, and.vtltrlng like tbe silver spoons, and let people understand that their stomachs re neither swill tubs nor sausage machines, and eating may become' a means orgraco to anv household. I am mindful of the fact that with many whom (I address tbe means of subsistence is a dally problem that taxes the energies of mind and muscle. And if any. doubt tbe propriety of recognizing the paramount im-j portante or this struggle, or if any suppese it to be unimportant in the sight of Heaven, I refer them to tbe striking fact, that the first direct petition In our Lord's prayor'is, "Oivo us this day our dally bread," But af.eivli have given to this struggle all the Import-'' anoe it deserves, after I have Bhown Its bear log on the worthy enterprises of the world, after I have duly weighed tho moral and re ligious points In tbe great food problem, I am still profoundly impressed with the Superior importance) of Ibat higher nature which In a normal1 state "hungers and'thlrsts after righteousness.' ' I bear the tramn or hurrying Teet as the crowd coes bj i' I'bear the noise ofmwibln. 6ry, ILe clang of hammers, the thunder of freight trains, tho low rustle of then wind over the ripening haiceit 'fields, tbo steady, ruruble'of tbe mills that gf lull bread for tb6 world. But aboye the nolsoatid" turtn6l begotten byHiatuR,e W food, I hear the oaltn, low volce,of Him who says; 'Labor not for the meatthat perished), hut for that which onduret unto everlasting life. My Father give you t-'ie true bread from He&veu. F 'bo bread of God Is he which coineth do'n from Heaven, and giveth life unto the ror,,h Iauj 'be bread of life: he tbatcorn' me shall never hunger, and h tha"u,vetu n me suau never tnirst." . M.
