that proiGEe history Is repiete with stories Of
str4nglel m0narchs and Of young princes
gho nave been put cut of the Way Here Is
tie story OF a young king saved. How Je-
hoSheba, the clergyman wife, must have
trembled as she rGahei into the imperial
nursery and snatched up Joash How she
hushed him, lest by his cry lie hinder the e.
cape. Fly with him, Jehosheba, you hold
In your arms the cause OF God aud good gov
ernment Fail, ana he Is slain Succeed,
and You turn tie tile Of the worlds history
ia the right direction. IL seems As II between
that young king and his assassans there IS
nothing but the frail arm Of a woman. But
why should we spend our time in praisiug
this bravery ot expedition when God asks
the same thing OF you and me! All around
US are the imperiled children Of great King
They are born OF Almighty parentage and
will come 10 a throne or "A crown, II permit
ted. But SIN the old Athaliah, goes forth 70
tho massacre. Murderous temptations are
out for the assassination. Valens, the en-
peror, was told that there was somebody in
his realm who would usurp has throne, aud
that the name OF the man who should be the
usurper would begin with the letters T. II
J.. .. d., and the edict went forth from the
ernperors throne: XIII everybody whose
name begins with T. II. +, o. D. And hun
dreds and thousands were slain, hoping by that
massacre - put an end % that one usurper
But sin is more terrific in its denunciation
II matters not how YOU spell your name, you
come under its knife, under It's sword. under
its doom, unless there BE- some omnipotent re
lief brought b tie rescue. But blessed be
God, there is such q thing rs delivering a
royal soul Who will snatch away JOashi
This afternoon, in your Sabbath school
class, there Will be prince of God-some
one who may yet reign king forever be
fore the throne; there will be some one In
itance; there will be some one in your class
who has father and mother who do not
know how TO pray; there will be some one
In Your class who Is destined TO command In
church or state-some Cromwell 20 dissolve
parliament, some Beethoven 10 touch tho
worlds harp strings, some John Howard 10
pour fresh air into the lazaretto, some Flor
ence Nightingale to bandage the battle
wounds some Miss Dix TO soothe the crazed
brain. some John Frederick Oberlin to edu-
cate the besotted, some David Brainard to
change the Indians war whoOp to o Sabbath
song. some John Wesley TO marshal three
fourths of Christendon, some John Knox 10
make queens turn pale. some Joash TO de-
molish idoiatry and strike for the kingdom
of heaven.
There arc sleeping in your cradles by night,
there are playing in your nurseries by day,
imperial souls waiting for dominion. and
Whichever side the cradle they get out will
decide the destiny Of empires For each one
OF those children sin aud holiness cOntend-
Athaliah on the one side, Jehosheba on the
other. But hear people say: Whats the
use % bothering children with religious in
struction' Let them grow Up and choose for
themselves Don't interfere with their voii-
ton" suppose some one had said 20 Jehoshe-
ba: Don't interfere with that young Joash
Let him grow up and decide whether he likes
the palace or not. whether re wants u be king
or not. Don't disturb MS volition Tehoshe-
ba knew right well that unless that day the
young king was rescued, he would never be
rescued AZ all.
/ tell you. my friends the reason we don't
reclaim al cur children from worldlin4-ss ID
because we begin too late Parents wait un-
I'll their children lie before they teach them
the value of truth. They wait until their
children swear before thev teach them ths
importance Of righteous conversation They
wait until their children are all wrapped up
In this world before they toll them II a bet
