which VIC must start Prescott, the
blind historian, tells us how Pizarro
saved his army for the right when
they were about deserving him. With
his sword he made a long mark on the
tho ground. lie said: My men, on
the north side are desertion and death,
On the south side is victory; on the
north side Panama and poverty, on
tho south side Peru with all its riches.
Choose for yourselves; for my part l
10 to the south" Stepping across the
line one by one, his troops followed
and finally his whole army. The
sword of Gods truth draws the
dividing line today. On one side OF
it are sin and ruin and death,
I'm the other side are pardon and use
fulness and happiness and heaven.
You cross from the wrong side to the
right side and your family will cross
with you and your friends and your
associates. The way you go they will
go. II we are not saved, we will V
save any one else. How TO get sayedl
Be willing 10 accept Christ, and then
accept him simultaneously and for
ever. Get ON the Rock first and then
You will be able TO help Others upon
the same Rock. Men and women have
hsen saved quicker than | have been
talking about il. What, without a
prayerl Yes. What, without time
deliberately to think it overl Yes,
What, without a tearl Yes, believed
That is all. Believe whati That
Jesus died TO ave you from SIN
and death and hell. Win your Do
youg You have. Something makes
me think you have. New light has
come into your countenances, WEI,
GOMEZ Welcomed Hail. Hail! Saved
yourselves, how are you going to save
othersl BY testimony. Tell it to i
your family. Tell il TO your business
aupciates. Tell il everywhere. We
viii successfully preach no more re-
ligion and will successfully talk no
religion than we ourselves have.
BEHAVE WELL YOURSELVES.
The most Of that which you do TO
benefit the souls of this generation,
you will effect through your W be-
havior. Go wrong, ami that will in
duce Others 10 go wrong. Go right,
and that will induce others to go right.
When the great cente nnial exhibition
was being held in Philadelphia, the
question came up among the directors
as TO whether they could keep the ex-
position open on Sundays, when a
director. who was a man Of the world,
from Nevada, arose and said, his voice
trembling with emotion and tears run
ming down his cheeks: II feel like a
rssnrned prodigal. Twenty years ago
| went west and into a region where
we had no Sabbath, but today old
memories come back TO me, and | re-
member what my glorifed mother
taught me about keeping Sunday, and
l seem 10 hear her voice again and
feel as | did when every evening |
knelt by her side in prayer. Gentle
man, | vote for the observance Of the
Christian Sabbath" And he carried
everything by storm, and when the
question was put, Shall We open the
exhibition ON Sabbath" it was almost
unanimous, NO" mo" What one
man can do if he does right, boldly
right, emphatically right.
What If we could get this whole
generation savedi These people who
are living with us the same year and
amid the same stupendous events and
flying toward the future swifter than
eagles To their prey. Wecannot stop.
They cannot stop. We think we Jan
stop. We say, Come now, my friend,
let us stop and discuss this subject"
but We do not stop. The year does not
STOP, the day does not stop, the
hour does not stop. The year is a
great wheel and there is a band on
that wheel that keeps it revolving,
and as that wheel turns, it turns three
hundred and sixty-fve smaller wheels,
which are the days, and then each of
these three hundred and sixty-five
wheels turn twenty-four smaller
wheels, which are the hours, and these
twenty-four smaller wheels turn sixty
smaller wheels, which are the min
utes, and these sixty smaller wheels
turn sixty more smaller wheels, which
are the seconds, and they keep roll
ing, rolling, rolling, mounting,
mounting, mounting, and swiften-
ming, switching, switching. Oh,
Godl il u generation is going
like that and we are going with them,
waken US 10 the short but tremendous
opportunity. lconfess TO you thatmy
n wish is TO serve this generation,
not to antagonize il, not to damage il.
not TO rule il, but 10 serve il. / would
like to do something toward helping
unstrap IFS load, TO stop its tears, TO
balsam its wounds and TO induce il TO
put foot on the upward road that has
at its terminus, reclamation rapturous
and gates pearline, and garlands
amaranthine and fountains rainbowed
aud dominions enthroned and cor
oneted, for i cannot forget that lullaby
in the closing words Of my text:
David, after he had served Sis own
generation by the will of God, fell ON
sleep"
And what a lovely sleep il wasl I'm.
lilial Absalom did not trouble il. Am
bilious Adonijah did not worry it.
Prosecuting Saul did not harrow il.
Exile did not fill il with nightmare.
Since a red headed boy amid his fac
|, der's fiocks at night, he had not had
such a good sleep. At 20 years
Of age he lay down 10 IL. He has had
many a troubled sleep, as in the cav.
rms Of Adullam or in the palace at
the time his enemies were attempting
his capture. But this was a peaceful
deep, a calm sleep, a restful sleep, q
