IN The last day IL Will be found that Hugh
IstimeT and John Knox and Hass and
Ridley were not the greatest martyn, BAT
Christian men who went up inoOrruPt
from the contaminEtlons and p.erpisKitiss
Of Wall street. Water street, Poarl street
Broad street, State street and Third street
On earth they were called brokers or STOCK
jobbers. OF retailers, or Importers, but Ia
heaven, Christian heroes No fagOts were
heAped about their feet, no ms uisitioE De
manded nom them roc&ntAtisu; no soldier

physical consuming is as the breath Of .
spring morning.
CHEArEB oUT OF THEIR FAITH
| hnd in the community q large class ot
men who have been so cheated, SO lied
about, SO outrageoasiy wronged. that they
have lost their faith in everything la a
world where everything seems so uopsy
turvy they do not see how there can be
any God. TAey are c0nfoundeo aud fren-
zied and misanthrople. Elaborate argu-
ments 10 prove 10 them the truth OF Chris
tisnity, OF tho truth Of anything else, touch
them nowhere. Hear ne, ell such men. |
preach 10 yOG no rounded periods, no orna-
mental discourse; but pat my hand on
your shoulder, and invite you into the
peace Of the Gospel Here is a rock Oh which
you may stand firm, though the waves
dash against il harder than the Atlantic
pitching its surf clear above Eddystone
lighthouse. Do not charge upon God all
these troubles OF the world As long as the
world stuck 10 God. God stuck 70 the
world; but the earth s-ooded from his gov
eminent, and hence all those outrage and
all these woes. God Is good. For many
hundreds Of years he has been coaxing the
world 10 come back TO him; but the more
he has coaxed the more violent have men
been in their resistance. and they have
stepped back and stepped back until they
have dropped into ruin.
Try this God, We who have had the blood
hounds after you, and who have thought
that God had forgotten you. Try him,
and see if be viii not help. Try him, and
see If he will not pardon Try hinl, and
see if he VIII not save. The flowers Of
spring have no bloom SO sweet IS the
Towering Of Christ's affections. The sun
hath no warmth compared with the glow
Of his heart. The waters have no refresh
nent like the fountain that will slake the
thirst of thy soul. At the moment the
reindeer stands with his lip and nostril
thrust In the cool mountain torrent the
hunter may be coming through the thicket.
Without cracking a stick under bis foot,
he comes close by the stag, aims his gun,
draws the trigger, and the poor thing rcars
in its death agony aud falls back ward. its
antlcls crashing on the rocks; but the pant
ing hsrt that drinks from the water brooks
of Gods promise shall never be fatal y
wounded and shall never die.
FIND PEACE WITH GOD.
This world is poor portion for your
soul. Oh business mani An eastern king
had craven on bis tomb two fingers, repre-
presented as sounding upon each other
with q snap, and under them the motto:
"All is not worth that" ApiciGs COelius
hanged himself because his steward in
formed him that he had only eighty thou
sand pounds sterling left All Of this
worlds riches make but a small inherit
ance for soul Robespierre attempted 10
win the applause OF the world, but when
he was dying, a woman came rushing
through the crowd. crying 10 him: "Mur-
derer Of my kindred, descend TO he'll. GOV
cred with the curses Of every mother In
Frsncer' Many who have expected the
plaUdits Of the world have died under its
ARathema Maranatha
Oh, find your peace in God. Make one
strong pull for heaven. No half way work
Will do it. There sometimes comes a time
on shipboard when everything must be
sacrificed TO save the Passengers. The cargo
Is nothing. the rigging nothing. The cap
tain puts the trumpet 70 his lips and shouts,
"Cut away the mast"' Some Of you have
been tossed and driven, and you have, In
your effort 20 keep the world, well nigh lost
your soul Until you have decided this
matter, let everything else 20. Overheard
with al those other anxieties and burdensl
You will have 10 drop the sails Of your
pride and cut away the mast With one
earnest cry for help. put your cause into
the hand Of him who helped Paul out Of
the breakers Of Melita, and who. above the
shrill blast of the wrathisst tempest that
ever blackenod the sky or shook the ocean,
can hear the faintest imploration for mercy.
