What. rcy friends, if every winter had not its
spring. and every night its day, and every gloom
its glow, and every bitter now its sweet here
after! If you have been on the sea you know as
the ship passes in the night there is phosphor-
resent track left behind it, and as the waters
roll up they toss with unimaginable splendor.
Well, across this great ocean of human trouble
Jesus walks. Oh that in the phosphorscent
track of his feet we might all follow and be illu-
minated!
There was gentleman in railcar who saw
IN that same car three passengers of very differ
ent circumstances. The first was a maniac. He
was carefully guarded by his attedants; his
mind, like ship dismantled, was beating
against dark, desolate coast from which no
help could come. The train stopped, and the
man was taken out into the asylum to waste
away, perhaps through years of gloom The
second passenger was a culprit. The outraged
law had seized on him. AS the cars jolted, the
ty and despair. The train halted, and he was
taken out to the penitentiary to which he had
been condemned. There was the third passen-
ger under far different circumstances. She was
bride. Every hour was gay as marriage
bell. Life glittered and beckoned. Her COM
panion was taking her to his fathers house.
The train halted The old man was there to
welcome her to her new home, and his white
locks showed down upon her as he sealed his
word with fathers kiss.
Quickly we fly toward eternity. We will soon
be there. Some leave this life condemned cul-
prits. They refused a pardon; they carry their
chains. O., may it be with US that, leaving this
feeting life for the next we may find our
Father ready to greet us to our new home with
him forever. That will be marriage banquet.
Fathers welcome. Fathers's kiss. Heaven.

Chinese Gordon.

Funk g. Wagnalls, New York. have issued a

Gather about us what we will of comfort and
luxury, when the pale messenger comes he does
not look at the architecture of the house before
he comes in; nor, entering, does he wait to ex-
anime the pictures we have gathered on the
wall; or, bending over your pillow, he does not
stop to see whether there is color in the cheek
or gentleness in the eye or intelligence in the
brow. But what of thatl Must we stand for
ever mourning among the graves of our dead9
No! MOI The people in Bengal bring the cages
of birds to the graves of their dead, and thon
they open the cages and the birds go singing
heayenward. So I would bring 10 the graves of
your dead to night all bright thoughts and con-
sratulations and bid them sing of victory and
redemption. l stamp on the bottom of the grave
and it breaks through into the light and glory of
heaven.
The ancients used to think that the straits en-
tering the Red sea were very dangerous places
and they supposed that every ship that went
through those straits would be destroyed and
they were in the habit of putting on weeds of
mourning for those who had gone that voy-
age, as though they were actually dead. Do
you know what they called those straits? They
called them the "Gate of Tears" Oh stand
tonight at the gate of tears, through which
many of your loved ones have gone and want to
tell you that all are not shipwrecked that have
gone through those straits into the great ocean
stretching out beyond The sound that comes
from that other shore on still nights when we
are wrapped in prayer makes me think that the
departed are not dead. We are the dead-we
who toll; we who weep; we who sin; we are the
dead How my heart aches for human sorrow
This sound of breaking hearts that l hear all
about US This last look Of faces that never
will brighten again This last kiss of lips that
will never speak again This widowhood and
orphanage! Oh, when will the day of sorrow be
gomez
After the sharpest winter the spring dismounts
from the shoulder of Southern gale and puts
its warm hand upon the earth, and in its palm
there comes the grass, and there come the dow-
