wicked to do that sent 80 many OF them to church
this morning. II pieiy were the cause then the sea
air certainly has purely moral eject, and it is a
pity that more Of them cannot be induced to pay

delightful. The sun is very warm, but there o
cool breeze blowing and the beach Is full OF bathers
and lookers-on. At church time this morning tbs
roads were very Lively with Carriages Of all descrlp

paying the place visit were on the road, for per-
maps the only time In their lives, towards good
place. Almost all denominatonsI have O church

heaven" He endeavored 10 impress upon the audi
ence the Importance. OF the truth that heaven is
place for work as well as pleasure. Few really en-
deavor to lit themselves for entering the holy place.
Man longs for Joys for which his state Of affection al
together dsqualines him. He Is too much IN pursuit
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Few are there VINO are willing
to give up the pleasure the world for that place
they must de; they are reminded OF every time

Some men think OF heaven as only place OF
pleasure. The true Christian thinks OF IL only as Q
