RELIGION CAE HELP YOU.
You may have had accumulation OF sor-
row aud misfortune. They come in nocks,
they come in herds upon your soul; and yet
i have TO tell you that this religion can CON
sole you, that 1t can help you, that it can de-
liver you if nothing else viii DO you tell me
that the riches and the gain of this world can
console your How was it with the man who
had such a fondness for money that when he
was sick he ordered basin OF gold pieces TO
DO brought to him, and he put his equity
hands down among the gold pieces, cooling
his hands Off III them, and the rattle and roll
and entertainment. All. the gold and silver,
the honors, the einoluments of this world
are poor solaco for perturbed
spirit. You want something better than
this world can give. y young prince, when
the children came around To play with him,
refused to play he said, | will play only with
kings. And it might be supposed that you
would throw away all other solace before
this regal satisfaction, this imperial JOY. Ye
who are sons and daughters OF the Lord Al
mighty ought to play only with kings.

TIE HON DRIED PALM TREE
But my text takes a step further, and il
says. go into the mountain, and fetch olive
branches, and pino branches, and palm
branches.n Now tho pain tree was very
much bonorel by the ancients. Ii bad three
hundred and sixty different uss& The fruit
was conserved; the sap was beverage, the
stems were ground up for food for camelS;
the base OF the leaves was turned into hats,
and mats and baskets. and tho leaves were
carried in victorious PROFESSIONS, and from the
root 10 tho top "a tho hi@acs. leaf there was
usefulness The tree grew eighty -fivo feet in
height sometimes, AID az spread broad leaV %
four and five yards long. 1t meant usefulness,
aud IL meant victory; usefulness for what It
produced victory because it was brought
into celebrations of triumph And oh, how
much we want the palm branches In the
churches OF Jesus Christ at this timel A
great many Christians don't amount 70 any
thing. You have 20 shove them out OF the
way when tho Lords chariots come along
We don't want any moro OF that klld Of
Christians in the church.
The old maxim says: "Do not put all your
eggs into ono basket !" but | have TO tell you
In this matter Of religion you had better give
your all 10 God. and then ct In yourself.
"Oh,r saws soune ono, my business Is TO sell
silks aud cloths" Wei, then, my brother,
sell silks and cloths TO the glory Of God. And
some ono SAYS, MY business j. 10 raise corn
and carrots Then, my brother, raise corn
and carrots 10 the glory Of God. And some
ono says: My business is to manufacture
horseshoe nails Then manufacture horse
shoe nails TO the glory OF God There i.
