A Sleeping Church.

Mr.. D. L. Moody relates the fol.
lowing:
There was a little story told in the
American press that made a great
impression upon me as father. A
father took his little child out into
the field on Sabbath and lay down
under beautiful shady tree, 1t being
hot day. The little child ran about
gathering wild flowers and blades of
grass, and coming to its father said !:
Pretty, pretty" At last the father
fell asleep, and while he was sleeping
the child wandered away. When he
awoke his first thought was Where
is my child !" He looked around, but
could not see him. He shouted -ss,
the top of his voice, and all be heard
was the ecbo'of his own voice. No
response. Then going to a precip,ce
some distance be looked down, and
there upon the rocks and brisrs he
saw the mangled form of his loved
child. He rushed to the spot took
up the liteless corpse, and hugged it
to his bosom and accused himself of
being the murderer of his own child.
While he was sleeping the child wan.
dered over the preciplce.
l thought when Iheard that, what
picture of the Church of God ? How
many Christian men are sleeping now
