apart, or set away, but it win never
lose its queenly power; it will always
preach Of trust in God and cheerful sub
mission. Suffering all ended now. With
respect to that invalid the words OF my
text have been ful6lled;
Thou shalt be missed, because thy seatwil
be empty.
4 Ipass on and find one more vacant
chair. It is a high chair. IL is the child's
chair. If that chair be occupied, think it
il the most potent chair in all the house,
hold. All the chairs wait on it; and the
chairs are turned toward it. 1t means
more than David's chair at Saul's banquet.
st any rate, it makes more racquet. That
is a strange house that can be dull with
child in 10. How that child breaks up the
hard worldliness of the place, and keeps
you young to sixty, seventy and eighty
years Of agel If you have no child Of
your own, adopt one; it will open
Heaven to your soul. It win pay
its way It's growing in the morning will
give the day a cheerful starting, and
its glee at night viii give the day a
cheerful close. You do not like children?
Then you had better stay out Of Heaven,
for there are so many there they would
fairly make you crazy Only about 500,-
600, 600 of them The old crusty disciples
told the mothers to keep the children
away from Christ
"You bother Him." they said, you
trouble the Master"
Trouble Him He had filed Heaven
with that kind Of trouble.
A pioneer in California says that for the
first year or two after his residence in
Sierra Nevada County there was not
single child in all the reach Of a hundred
miles. But the Fourth OF July came,
and the miners were gathered to-
gether, and they were celebrating the
Fourth with grafton @nd poem and
boisterous brass brand and whiFs the
band was playing, an infants voice
was heard crying, and al the miners
were startled, and the swarthy men
began to think of their homes
on the Eastern coast and OF their
wives and children far away, and their
hearts were filed with homesickness as
they heard the babe cry. But the music
went on, and the child cried louder and
louder, and the brass band played louder
and louder, trying to drown out the in-
fantile interruption, when swarthy
miner, the tears rolling down his face, got
up and shook his fist, and said:
"Stop that noisy band, and give the
baby chance"
Oh, there was pathos in it as we'll as
good cheer in It'll There is nothing to
arouse, and melt, and subduo the soul like
a child's voice.
But when it goes away from you, tho
high chair becomes a higher chair, and
there is desolation all about you. In
three -fourths Of the homes of my congre-
cation there is a vacant high chair. Some-
how you never get over it. There is no
one to put to bod at night; no one TO ask
strange questions about God and
Heaven. Oh, what is the use Of that
high chair? 1t is to call you higher. What
a drawing upward it is to have children
! iR Heaven. And then it is such a pre-
| ventive against sin. IL a father is going

enough to allow us children to put our
heads into her lap. That was the bank
where we deposited all cur hurts and
worries. o, what a chair that wasI 1t
was different from the fathers chair;
entirely different. You ask me how? 1
can not tell, but we all felt it was differ
ent Perhaps there was about this chair
more gentleness, more tenderness, more
grief when we had done wrong. When
we were wayward father scolded, but
mother cried. 1t was a very wakeful
chair. In the sick days of children other
chairs could not keep awake; that chair
always kept awake, kept easily awake
That chair knew all the old lullabies and
all those world Sss songs which mothers
sing to their sick childrsR-songs in which
all pity and compassion and sympathetic
influences are combined. That old chair
has stopped rocking for a good many
years. 1t may be set up in the loft or the
garnet, but it holds queenly power yet.
When at midnight you went into that
grog-shOp to get the Intoxicating draught,
did you not hear a voice that said:
''My son, why go in there?''
And louder than the boisterous encore
of the place of wicked amusement, a voice
saying;
''My son, what do you here?"
And when you went into the house of sin
a voice saying:
"What would your mother do if she
knew you were here?"
And you were provoked with yourself,
and you charged yourself with supersti-
tion and fanaticism, and your head got
with your own thoughts, and you went
home and you went to bed, and no sooner
had you touched the bed than "a voice
said:
"What a prayerless pillow! Man, what
is the matter2n
This: You are too near your mothers
rocking chair.
ooh, pshaww you say. "There's moth
ing in that. Pm 500 miles of from where
was born. Pm 5000 miles off from the
church whose bell was the first music 1
ever heard"
I can not help that; you are too near
your mothers rocking chair.
"Oh," you say, "there can't be any thing
in that; that chair has been vacant a great
while"
can not help that; it is all the mightier
for that; it is omnipotent, that vacant
mothers chair. 1t whispers; it speaks; it
weeps; it carols; it mourns; 1t prays; 1t
warns; it thunders. A young man went
off and broke his mothers heart and
while he was away from home his mother
died, and the telegraph brought the son,
and he came into the room where she lay
and looked upon her face, and he cried
out:
ooh, mother, motherl what your life
could not do your death shall effect. This
moment give my heart 10 GOd.n
And he kept his promise. Another vic
tory for the vacant chair. With refer

were fulfilled:
Thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will
be empty.

Not symptoms, but the Disease.

1t would seem to be truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the heal
ing art, that to remove the disease, not to
alleviate its symptoms, should be the chief
aim of medication. Yet in how many in
stances do we see this truth admitted in
theory, ignored in practice. The reason that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is successful in
SO many cases, with which remedies previous
" tried were inadequate to cope, is attribute
able to the fact that it is medicine which
reaches and removes the causes of the various
maladies TO which it is adapted. Indigestion,
fever and ague, liver complaint, govt, rheuma-
sism, disorder of the bowels, urinary atiec-
lions and other maladies are not palliated
merely, but rooted out by it, it goes to the
fountain head, 1t is really, not noIninally, q
radical remedy, and it endows the system
with an amount of vigOr which Is its best
protection against disease.
