A man may be full of the Holy Spirit
and be temple for his abode, and have no
supernatural gift. Love supreme, love
made perfect, is superior to all the miracu-

Leaves are light, and useless, and idle
and wavering, and changeabie; they even
dance yet God in his wisdom has made
them part OF the oak. In so doing he has
given us a lesson not to deny the stout

To Us, many of the metaphysical points
connected with the Unitarian controversy
and the nature Of God are uninteligi5le. as
they are untrsuslatatIe into English, or
even Latin. The endless disputes about
the meaning of the words Father"

The most graceful, the most beautiful
thing on earth is the religion of Jesus
Christ and if you awkwardiy preseL it, it
is defamation. We must do our work rap
idly and we must do it effectively. Soon
our time for work will be gone. A dying
Christian took out his watch and gave it to
friend and said Take that watch,
have no more use for it; time is ended for
me and eternity begins" Oh my friends,
when our watch has licked away for US the
last moment, and our clock has struck for
US the last hour, may it be found we did
our work well, that we did it in the very
best way, and whether we preached the
gospel In pulplts, or taught Sabbath
classes, or administered to the sick as
physicians, or bargained as merchants, or
pleaded the law as attorneys, or were busy
as artisans, or as hus bandmsn or as me-
chanics; or were like Martha, called to |
give a meal 70 a hungry Christ or like |
Hannah, to make a coat tor prophet or |
like Deborah, to rouse the courage OF some
timid B,rak in the Lords conflict, we did !
our work In such way that it will stand |
the test of the Judgment And in the loag |
procession OF the redeemed that march |
around the throne, may II be found there |
are many there brought to God through |
our instrumentality, and IN whose rescue |
we are exultant. But, oh, you unsaved,
wait not for that coming sermon. 1t may
come after your obsequies. 1t may come
after the stone-cutter has chiseled your
name on the SLAB fifty years before. Do
not wait for great steamer OF the Cunard
or White Star line to take you off the
