Gsmbetta. Some chased the chsmois
among the Alpine precipices. Some plucked
the ripe clusters from Italian vineyard.
Some Ef ed their faces under the midnight
sun of Norway. 1t is no dishonor to our
land that they remember the place Of their
] nativity. Miscreants would they be IT,
while they hayo some of their windows open
to take in the free air Of America and the
sunlight Of an atmosphere which no kingly
despot las ever breathed, they forgot some
times to open the windows towards Jeruss'
lem. No wonder that sometimes when the
Swiss is far away from home at hearing
the national air Of his own country sung,
the malady Of home sickness comes on him
| so powiully ss to cause his death. You
have the example of the heroic Daniel Of
my text for keeping early memories fresh
| Forget not the old folks at home. Write
often and il you have surplus Of means and
they are deficient, make practical contrlb1-
| tions and rejoice that America is bound 10
sll the world by ties of sanguinity as is no
other nation. Who can doubt but il is sp-
pointed for the tvangehzstion OF all lands
What stirring, melting, gospehzing theory
! that Gil the doo' of other nations are open
toward us WI lie our windows are open
toward them.
But Daniel in the text kept this port'hole
of his domestic fortress unclosed because
jerusalem was
The Capital of Sacred Influences.
There smoked the sacrifice. There was the
Holy of HOLES. There was the ark of the
covenant. There stood the Temple. We
are all tempted to keep our windows open
on the opposite side, toward the world, that
we may see and hear and appropriate its
advantages Whst does the world say?
What does the world Think What does the
world do2 Worshippers Of the world instead
of worshippers of God. Windows open
toward Babylon. Windows open toward
Corinth. Windows open toward Athens
Windows open toward Sodom. Windows
open towards the fats instead OF windows
open toward the hills
Sad Mistake;
for this world as o god is like something /
saw the other day ir the museum Of Stras-
burg, Germany: The figure of a virgin in
wood and iron. The victim in olden time
was brought there and this figure would
oLen its arms to receive him, and once en-.
Z drd, the figure closed with a hundred
knives snd lances upon him aud then atter-
ward let him drop $50 feet sheer down. SO the
world f. st embraces its idolaters then closes
upon Il m with many tortures and then lets
them DR., p foreverdown. The highest honor
he world could confer was 10 make man
Roman Emperor, but out OF sixty.three EN-
percrs it slloSed only Elk TO die peacefully
H. their beds The dominion OF this world
owe, multitrdss is illustrated BY the names
II coins Of many countries. They have
their pieces of money which they call SOW
ereiens snd halfsovereigns, crowns and halt
crowns, Napoleons and half Nspoleons,
Fredericks aud double Fredericks and
ducats and Issbellinos, all of which names
mean nor 30 much usefulness as dominion
The most of our windows open toward the
exchange, toward the salon Of fashion
toward the God of this world. In olden
times the length OF the English yard was
fixed by the length Of the arm OF King
Henry l., and we are apt 10 measure things
by variable standard and by the human
arm that in the great crises of life can give
us no help. We need, like Daniel, to open
our windows
Toward God and Religion.
But, mark you, that good lion-tamer is
not standing at the window but kneeling
while he looks out Most photographs are
taken OF those in standing or sitting posture
| now remember but one picture OF
a man kreeling, and that was David Liv:
ingstone, who, in the cause OF God and
civilization, sacrificed himself and in the
heart of Africa his servant, Msjwsrs, found
him in tte tent by the light Of candle
stuck on the top of box, bis head in his
bands upon the pillow and dead on his
knees But here is a great lion-tamer, lv-
ing under the dash of the light and his hair
drsheveled of the breeze, praying The
fact is that man
Can See Further on His Knees
than standing on tiptoe. Jerusalem was
about $50 statute miles from Babylon and
the vast Arabian Desert shifted its sands be-
tween them. Yet through that open window
Daniel ssw Jerusalem, saw all between it,
saw beyond, saw time, saw eternity, saw
earth and saw heaven. Would you like to
see the way through your sins to pardon,
through your troubles to comfort,
through temptation to rescue,
lhrough dire sickness to immortal
health, through night to day, through thing
terrestrial 10 things celestial, you will not
see them ill you take Daniels posture No
cap Of bone 10 the joints Of the fingers, no
cap Of bone to the joints Of the elbow but
cap OF bole TO the knees, made go because
the god Of the body was the god OF the soul,
an especibl provision for those who want TO
pray, and physiological structure Joins With
spiritual necessity in bidding Us pray and
pray and pray. In olden times, the Earl OF
Wesrnorelspd said he had no need to pray
beceuse be bad enough pious tenants on his
state 10 pray for him, bat all the prayers Of
church universal amount to nothing unless
like Daniel we
Pray for Ourselves.

Baby lonish window open tosard the
southwest. "0h, you say, that is the d.

on the other side of the desert is God, is
Christ, is Jerusalem, is heaven. The Brut-

whose windows have been dsrkened BY be-
