All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.
THE SERMON.

Mr.. Harmon then announced as his tex
the 10th verse of the xix. chapter of St
Luke-"For the Son of man is come tC
seek and to save that which was lost
gu won't find his name written on the
Golden Eagle register tonight No COM
mittee met him on the outskirts of the
town to welcome him, or to extend to him
the freedom of the city. But he is in our
midst, he is upon our streets, he has come
among us to seek and to save.
1t is not the lost that we are after. The
young man seeking for a bride is not look
ing among the lost, but he is search
ing among the purest and most spotless.
Jesus in looking for a queen of heaven
turns away from the matchmaking ma
irons of heaven, he passes by the brown
stone fronts where holiness and purity
dwells, he searches in the alleys of the back
streets among the poor prostitutes for the
lost soul. We always want the best of
everything. The military school at West
Point wants the pick of the land. No
blemish is allowed; in their critical exam
lnation crook in the arm or a cooked eye
is sufficient to debar entrance to that train
ing school, where the requisite is fault
less symmetry and a perfect manhood
physically.
Jesus invites us all into the church, and
admits the most distorted hunchbacks of
humanity and makes them the warriors of
heaven.
As nation we want citizens of the best
class. On our Pacific border we have a
har A. - 90 n
Chinese need apply" On our Atlantic
will not admit the riff-raff and hoodlums
of Europe. Along the great continent of
eternity there is nothing to debar the en-
trance of the most depraved creature of
Chinatown.
The sons of God do not stand higher in
heaven than do these who are saved from
the slums, when washed with the blood of
the lamb.
Jesus has made a feast for us, in doing
which He has impoverished heaven to
make the banquet spread. He has come to
seek and save, and all who believe in Him
will be the honored guests of God.
We can see the common sense in this act
of Jesus. Look at that little sister who is
the owner of beautiful flower garden in
which are blooming roses, tulips, lilacs and
all the splendid fora of earth. She goes
into the garden in the morning. Does she
waste her time on that beautiful full-blown
rose, or that vigorous and fragrant pink :?
MOI Her whole time and attention is de-
voted to poor withered flower which she
is DESTROYS of making grow and bloom.
So it is with Jesus. He is not wasting
his time on the Angel Gabriel, or the
winged hosts of Heaven, but he saw poor
humanity down in this world whitening
and dying. and he came down and pours
his tears and blood around its roots and
saves it.
When the physician starts out in the
morning, at which house does he stop !?
He don't stop at the house of the man
with physique of a John l.. Sullivan,
who never had an ache or pain, but he
goes to the home of the invalid, he calls on
the sick and bed-ridden. Jesus comes to
humanity that is bleeding and wounded
with sin. He bears them to the hospital
of love, lifts you again and places
you ON the right hand of God
To-day in California people are looking
after barren lands, and by system of irri-
eating canals are making the deserts and
wasfe places blossom like the rose. God is
looking away from the angelic lands and
comes down to US; He is running his irri-
eating canals through my heart, through
your heart. and making gardens of holi-
ness of purity and of love
