CONDENSED SERMONS.

THE more able man Is, II he makes i'll
use Of his abilities, the more dangerous
will he be to the commonwealth.
WE have right to keep what belongs
to us, but no arguments can justify our
retaining the property Of another.
DEVOTION to the person Of Christ that
steers US clear Of the doctrines and pre-.
cepts of Christ is sentimental rhapsody.
No MAN imparteth his joy to his friends
bat he joyeth the more; and no man i'm.
parteth his grieis but he grieveth the less.
IT is better to be a beggar than an ig.
norant person; for a beggar only wants
money, but an ignorant person wants hu'
manly.
PLACE before children nothing but what
is simple, lest you spoil their tastes, and
nothing that is not innocent, less you spoil
their hearts.
general application: "Grandfather farm
er; father trader; son gentleman; grand.
son beggar."
WEALTH is like bird; II hops all day
from man TO man, as that doth from tree
to tree, and none can say whore II will
roost at night
LET a man learn that everything in ma.
turc, even notes and feathers, goes by
law and not by 'luck,n an that what he
sows he reaps.
WE are reminded of the folly Of parent
al indulgence. Much Of Adonijah's wick.
edness and of David's fresh and last mis-.
cry came of It.
Con only Ia the creatures home,
Though long and rough the road;
Yet nothing less can satisfy
The love that longs for God.
JESUS is the worlds rightful King, but
there are many usurpers who would sup
plant Him. We must stand by Hin
against them And He will prevail.
THE history of every discovery, of
every enterprise Of benevolence, Of every
reform, is the history of toll and watch.
ing through long discouragements.
The sleep of some men is much more
wearying than refreshing. Unbidden
thoughts steal away the couch from ul-
der them and throw thom on the rack.
1HERE is no preacher listened to but
time, which gives us the same train and
turn Of thought which older people have
tried in vain to put into our heads before.
THERE has nearly always been a good
wife behind every great man; and there
is a good deal OF truth In the saying that
a man can be no greater than his wife will
let HIM.
The leaves that give out the sweetest
fragrance are those that are the most
cruelty crushed; so the hearts Of those
who have suffered most, can feel for
others woes.
WIcKEDNEss Is never profitable. Sc
Absalom and his associates had found.
30 Adonijah and those who joined him
row discovered. Its day is short. Its
gains impart no good while they last.
The enthronement Of Solomon was the
defeat OF Adonijah. So bring In the true
and tho right and good, and the false and
wrong and evil are thereby expelled. Ex
tirpate sin by cultivating holiness.
THERE is great blessing in true friends
who hasten TO our help In an evil time
David and Solomon had true friends IL
Nathan and Zadok and Benaiah. Coco
men are likely TO have such helpers.
LORD, do Thou choose for me, not only
the whole state and condition Of being
but every little and great accident Of It
Keep me safe by Thy grace, and then us'
what instrument Thou pleaseth for bring
ing me 10 Thee. Lord, am not solicitou
Of the passage, so may get TO Thee.
