old man who quits the throne OF his OPP
portunity and turns his back upon a hcav-
enly throne, and tramps off into iguominy
and everlasting exile! That is an abdica-
ton enough to turn a universe. In Persia
they will not have blind man on the
throne, and when reigning monarch Is
Jealous of some ambitious relative he has
his eyes eXtinguished so that he cannot
possibly ever come to crowning. And that
suggests the difference between the way
sin and divine grace takes hold of man.
The former blinds him 50 he may never

the blind that he may take coronation.

There comes in every September and
October large influx Of those between
sixteen and twenty-four years of age, and
New York and Brooklyn damn at least a

off and down with no more compunction
than that with which a coal-heayer scoops
the anthracite into the dark ccller. What
with the wine cup, and the gamblers dice,
and the scarlet enchantresS, no young
man without the grace Of God, is safe ten

which is the worst city of the continent
Some say New York, some
saw New Orleans, some say
Chicago, some say ST. Louis. What
have to say is, you cannot make much
comparison between the infnities, and in
all our cities the temptation seems intin-
