JESUS CHRIST 4 PRACTICAL PREACHER.
Christ Jesus was q wonderful
preacher. He was wonderful in that
he was always practical. No man
could leave an audience to whom
Jesus had preached and say, well,
he discussed some theological dogma
I was not interested in; he was argu-
ing some ecclesiastical question that
l felt no personal interest in But
Jesus had some things to say to
every one. Why, when he preached
he looked over to the farmers present,
and said: Listen, you farmers, you
tillers of the soil. The kingdom Of
heaven is like unto a man going out
to SOW seed" He looked over at the
fishermen present, and said: Give
me your attention. The kingdom of
heaven is like q net let down into the
water, and it break with fishes as
yoa pulled it up" When Jesus
preached to the house-carpenters he
said: give me your ear. Take
heed how you build" And when he
preached to the housewives present
he said: Give me your attention.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto
the measure Of meal IN which you
put the Ieaven; and when you 60
back you will ind the whole lump
leavened." When he preached to the
merchants and business men present
he looked them in the face, and said:
"You men who run on profit and loss,
what will it profit you if you gain the
whole world and lose your soul?"
LITTLE FELLOWS.
There are so many little fellows in
the Church; but, thank God: in the
harvest time we need them all.
Down South, in harvest time, every
body is busy. The men are laboring in
the field, the women are cooking, and
the children even are at work bring
inc water, down to the three-yearold
bows. A little after dinner a black
cloud comes moving up from the
southwest, and the father sees big
storm is coming. Everything is hur-
ried until the last shock OF wheat is
put up and the big drops commence
to fall, and all the company are pres
ent except little Willie. Where is
he9 He was seen momeut ago.
Father runs up the hill and sees little
Willie in the far side Of the field,
stumbling along under the weight Of
bundle Of wheat. He would fall
down and get up again. The father
runs hurriedly to him and gathers up
both She little boy and the. shock Of
wheat. and bears him away in safety.
I don't care how, small you are, or
how big sinner you may wrestle
with. the Lord will come and take
hold of you and help you along.
sALLIE AND THE CHILDREN.
Many 4 fellow in this country says,
II amt making this money for my
self; I'm just laying it up for Sallie
and the children" Yes, and you
will give your life Jor money, and
hoard it, an1 lay it up for Sallic and
the children; but if you could see
Sallie and the children six months
after you were dead-Sallie with her
new teeth Qsughter), and the boys
with their fine lurnou,s-you'd be
surprised to see how we'll Sallie and
the children got along without you.
(Laughter.) You would that. l heard
of one old man who gave his life for
money, and spent his life getting
money and piIing it up for his wife
and children, and the preacher told
me he was visiting at the house about
six months after the old man died,
and they put him in one ofthe garrett
rooms; and when he went in he saw
g picture. with its face to the wall,
setting over in the corner, and ne
went over and turned it around. and
saw it was the old mans picture.
They put it away offrhere, and tur">.;
it's face to the wall
