a Chri. tan minister in England called
upon a home OF great destitutlon. There
we're the husband, the wife and there were
the children. No comfort in the house
hold. Everything indicative of want and
struggle. The minister Of the Gospel said
to this young man:
YOUR MISTAKE WAS IN MARRYING so EARLY.
Do you not think that was the mistake Of
your hfeP He had been told that that had
been the mistake of his life before. The
minister said: 1T would have been a great
deal better for you to have gone on and
got something Of property before you
entered into the marriage state. Don't you
think it would have been beIterf And
then the young man looked around, and
his eyes filled with tears, aud he looked to
1 his poorly.clai wife and said: No, sir;
she been the same to me all through!
All, there are some of you who would
never have known what your homes we're
worth, if trouble had not come. Perhaps
Vour companion in life may have been too
fond of the world and its gsyeties; but one
touch of misfortune turned her into a Mir
lam shouting the triumph on the banks
of the Red Sea- If you have spoken
of frivoR:y and fondness OF

man, you may have to correct your mis-
take in some bitter pass Of life, when all
other resources having failed you are up
held by a wifes hand, suddenly armed OF
the Lord God Almighty for that emer-
gency. Oh, in this tremendous pass OF
your earthly existence crying unto God,
aud ask his direction. Make mistake
here aud you make it forever. Walter
Scott wrote something, half Of which | do
not like, for it is sarcastic, but the other
halt do like, for it is 30 true:

Blessed that home in which the newly.
married couple dedicate their souls to
Christ. Blessed the Family Biole in which
their names have just been written.
Blessed the hour of morning and evening
prayer. Blessed the angels Of God who
join wing tip to wing tip. over that home.
making q canopy Of light aud love and
blessedness. IL may be only yesterday
that they clasped hands forever. The
orange blossoms may fail and the fragrance
may die On the air, out they who marry in
Christ shall walk together on that day
when the Church, which is the Lambs
wife, shall take the hand Of her Lord and
King amid the swinging OF the golden
censers.
Again, | remark Il is tremendous
pass in life when man comes to
HIS FIRST GREAT SUCCESS.
You get in the cars some evening.
Everybody that looks at you knows there
has something glad happened. You 81,
down in the car, your face illuminated, and
lady comes in. There is no place for
her to sit, aud you get up in great cheer
and insist on her taking your place. and
With great courtesy she says, Thank
you," and sits down. You say nothing to
any body, but it is evident from your man
ner and appearance that great good for
tune has happened unto you. Now, that
is crisis in your lie. At such time tee
questions will arise: "Iu Whist enterprise

What shall be my wardrobe? What shall

At that point hundreds Of men make O

he crisis in lie where 30 many fail, be
cause they have no God to direct them.
There are men who, before their success
are kind and auiable, and genial and use
