ust above the Jordan; its rippling waters
tell me of Abraham, of Jacob, of Joshua, of Saul, of David, of Elijah,
of Elisha, of Naaman, of John the Baptist, and of Jesus of Nazareth.
How sweet and musical is the story! How impressive its truths as I hear
it to-night? Then I watch the play of the moon-light on the water,--the
glittering sheen on the smooth surface above the bridge, and the
flashes of light on the rapids below. It is all so beautiful!

And this is the Jordan! For many years I have heard of it; I have read
of it; I have sung of it. It has been to me for many years a type of
death. Again I look upon the calm blue depths on the north, and then
again on the rapids below--I see the peace here, and hear the rush
there. Then I turn my eyes again to the mountains, and upward to the
moon, and past the moon to the stars--and by faith beyond the stars to
search for Him of this land, because of whose earth-life I am here, and
upon whom I rely for support in the hour of my approach to the shore of
that river of which this is the type.
