Tha sunrise, which wo all so much love, s an appar- aat fact; the nbsolute fact Is that the carth ypens over. Philosophera tell us that the ab- solute color of the rose lies Infts power to dis- tolve the rays of llght and to_ ruflect into our tind only one of many beamc; but the henomenal faet Js that tho rose ia red, and Panhrr we think not and care not, Thero belnge {hus two forma aof fact, it is the ohepowenal o apparent fact which we most love, W lave the commut, topular munrire, and must leave to others the fittal philosoply of the cyent; and el tove the red Fise, and must consign to tar deep philosoplicrs the last possible argu- ment sbout Lthut erlmson bist, With slinflar prinetplea et us come to speak of motlyes of htman life, not a8 philosophers Shonceka detinltion, but as friends who ary snxious to talle togethier about moking the host uee of Hfe.

There are changes for cach hour. But from amid this ond- [rss variety thera rlse up w few large ones which far the tost part rule the whole ol life. As ihere are some mountains which ovcrtop atl othier, and some rivers which make other risers seem but brooke, su there are motives whose excellence leaves them without any shenificant final, It you will look cither ontward upon saclety or lunard upon sclf, you will find that the - 10an soul 18 drawn alone by six angels of good, or its boat Is impelled by six, winds—Lradeé winds—s¥eeping a Jurgo aen. Mati {s impelled by the deafre ot intellcctunl culture, l?- the nwtive called home, by considerations of fame, br the hopo of pleasure, by love of mankind, sod by religion, Education, home, fame, hap- pluess, benevolence, and religion are six great motives ot uction” wud thoueht, — Into each heart )l these fmpulses should enter and ahide, They should toms to man in his youth and’ remain with him to the end.

The rafn did not keep many away from the Bitld readiug at Farwell 11l vestcrday after- noom, there heing “about 1,000 people present. After a hall hour of song-service, participated In by the Bliss Memorlal Cholr, led by F. B, Williums, and the male cholr which grew out of the Tentecosl and Stebbins meetings, led by Prof. Clark, Dr. Munro (iibson took up his subject, *The Third, Ere, which Began with the Call of Avraham.' ‘Twice had corruption spread wll through the human family. What was to be done! Abraham was called out of tho world. There was {Lis ditferenco between llm and Noak, The world was taken from the tatter, but Abraham was taken from the wurid to be the hoad of a wuew dwpensa- tion. The covenant made with Adam, and enewed with Noah, was made with Abraham substantlally, only with n,nnm!lmv. In the devpest sense this era was golur on still. Abra- Liam was **tho futher of all that beieved,” We werd included, Wm bis tine the contintons history of the Bitte begaw, ‘There were ouly fragrwients t the fheat und sccond cras, A to the Mosaie veonomy, It had pazsed away, cotnme 1o slimply as a Kklad of parentuesis in tho nidst of this third era.

We bail to bu separated Lo hve by faith, ' For convenlence' raka he divldaid (he era thus: The separated family, the separsted tution, tho separated church, but constlered only ths first tor want of tme, subdividing it fnto father nml sons, vet leavims tho eons until next Sabbath, We read about Abraham from tha eleventh to the twenty-fifth chapter of Two teading thonehts would elve & comprehenslve grasp of hiy hietory, and enable us tn see it In the development of “thy covenant of grace, Thic first was Lis separation, e had ta be separated, taken from tho world, fu order that ho might develop the trua life, Lhe hope ot holiucss,~that Lie might receive the promises— Lhat the covenant might be made with hun. And the second thounhit was that ft was the Gospel of God unto which Abratiam was sepa- rated. 'The Ductor then looked at him a8 a rep- arated man—the separation begimmug when Abraham was called Trom ms_home is Messo- potanna, It was no ssusll thnfe for i to go and be the founder of anew nation, Chalden at that thng represented Lhe knowa world, aud Abraham was calted {from it e went furth not kunowing whither,—one of the greatest examoples of twth the world bad cver 6cen, s father (Farah), awd his nephew (Lut), am} gome others fowed him, und they traveled around {o the lnd which the Lond was to show thiem, But, attracted by the fertitity of the suil am! the beaut v of the country, they re- mafued {n Haran, Iers Tarub died. © God took iy away. This was the secumd seonration, The Doctor didn't belleve Varat was a lost man, but that he was saved under the okl dis- pensation, No one could tell how much he nst by staying in Haran,—amnd by going only balf way, Bowitho great many moderns, by not behie ready to make a full sacrilice when the Lord catled them to honor and ustful- nuss. The third separation was frum Cangan, not Abrahum’s bome, though, for “tent" conveved the flca of a phgnm and stranger, Then cama the scparauon from Ligypty—eyldontly to (est s fuith, e went there without consutting tho Lurd, The iden was not inconsistens that God had o rm;lmsn In his_golng there, The guine was the tulilliment of His purpose, notwithstanding it wus becauso Abrahntn's fulth fafled bitn, Next was his sep- aratfon frum_Lot, who belunged to the now dis- peusation. There was this diiference between them: Abraham was a thoroughly separated man, ot only locally but ju spirit, from the worldi Lot was sepsrated locatly, but not in spleit. ils was made ovident on tho veeasion of the strite_between the herdsmen, Lot looked towurd Bodom and sat at the wate, The experiences of the two were contrasted, The next separation was from [sbmael, Aurabam had fullowed his own devices, distrusted the vromise, and was left atone. Hut Howar and Istunnel’ had to go. Tue promise was noy to be fuitllted fn Ishmael, but in lsaac, heo came the scparstion from hine sclf, and ufterwards from Isage,—the light of his ey, nud the hope of his vation, Tue Lord thouehit it necessary for ilm Lo trust not in tire it but In the giver, not in the promise but intho promiser. The Lerrible order for the sacrt- ficu came, and Abraliam atood thetest, Next waa the soparation from Sarah by desth,—the eaddest day—it tust have been—in it his lis- tory, But Low bo demeaned himseltl In the purchase of the grave he showed s faith in od, It was tho earnest of the fuberitance untll the redemption of the purcnased pusition. And next wa found Abralinin _separated from all, Everything was given to Tssae, With hls denth the'separation was compicte, When he bad given up all, what remamed! God! “I am thy shield, und thy exceeding great re- word,' Thot was what he trusted o, So Avraham siood out capeclally as 3 man of faith,—** the father of all them that believe." Tho sccond thoupht was then taken up, the Gospel of God unto which Abrahain was scparated,—the Abrahnmitic covenaut. Itegard- 1ni tho restriction, we such remember (1) betore the policy was sdupted the offer of salvation had been” threa thnes tnade to all inen, sud eeted § (2) that, while the covenant ricted tu a slugle Tamily aud nas tion, the policy wus sdopted, not fur tho sake of that particuiur family or nation, but for the worla’s sake; it wus the ouly way the world coulg bo savedy and (3) that even during the. time thu covenant was restricted the dour was oven oll the while, ** Whosocver will, let hiin come.” It is true thero was a wali of partition, but fe was full of mafesy and over every gate was written * Welcame.* ‘There wers g1 Adam of the , to Noan of the land safs Irom encroaching walers, aud tu Shem-- *tBlessed be the Uod of shem.” Adverting to the first tho speaker called attention the fitteenth, seventeenth, - and tweut: nd chaptors of Genvsls, luall of which iuns of the cuvenunt the sced came In, trst a8 u great multitude, then as many uations, and thenas ol natlune, Replylng to criticlsun, ho suid the Jetter Kilted Iterdlity, but, takime the spisit, as oxplafned by laul in ‘the Osllatsns, the mcauiog wae clear. “Tugy that be of fuith are the secd of Abrubam.” There was mot only collective seed, hut s personal secd, “ju thy sced !
