QUEENsToWN Special hsEe the steamer
Aurania, from Liverpool, WIS living in this
harbor a few hours waiting for the mails,
many of the passengers went ashore. The
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage; 3D., was among
the number. and took advantages of the OPP
portunity topreael Hissubject vas What
Is in Nanne? and his text, Philippians ii, 3:
"a name which lisa boEe. every name" The
eminent preacher said:

to America i preach, to- Won from this text,
which was. one of PauRs rapturous and en-
thusiastic descfiptions.ol the name of Jesus.
By comman proverb VAS have come to believe
there is nothing in name. and so pa
rents sometimes present their children for
baptism regardless of the title given
them, and thinking that that particular
title Will lie. either q hinirance or a help.
Strange mistake. You have no right to
give to your child q name that is lacking
either n.euphony or in moral meaning 1t
is a sinafor you to cell your child Jehoiakim
or Tiglathr Pileser: Because you yourself
may aave an exasperating name is no reason
why you should gave it to those who come
after you. But how often we have seen some
mama, filed wish jargon, rattling down from
generation to generation, simply because
some one a long time ago happened to be
afflicted with It, Institutions and enterprises

ton taken their nomenclature Mighty des-
TIMES have been decided by the significance of
q name There aremen who all their life
long toll and tussle to get over the influence
of some unfortunate name. While we may,
through right behavior and Christian de-
meanor, outliye the fact that we were bap-
tiled by the name of a despot, or an inhdel !,
or cheat, how much better it would have
been if We could have started lie without
any such incumbranc When find the apos-
tle In my text and other parts OF his writing,
breaking out i'll Inscriptions OF admiration in
regard to the name of Jesus, l want to- in
quire what are some of the characteristics OF
that appelation. And 0 that the Savior
himself, while speak, might fill rne with his
own presence. for We never can tell to others
that which we have not ourselves felt.
First, the name OF Jesus is IN easy name.
Sometimes We are introduced to people
whose name is so long and unprononpceable
that we have sharply TO Listen. and to hear
the name given to us two or three tiHaRs be4

amid all the families represented here today.
there is Que household where the little one
speaks OF s.father" and mother and
brother" and SISTER, and not O" tho same
which is above every name?"
Sometimes we forget the titles Oh our very
best friends and We have to pause and think
before We can recall the name But can you
imagine any freak ofintelect in which you
could forget the Sayior's designation? That
word .JesuB" seems to fit the tongue in every
dialect. When the voice in old age gets feeble
and tremulous, and indistinct, still this regal
word his potent utterance.
Jesus. I love Thy charming name,
IT'S mrsic to my ear;
Fan would sound it out so loud
That heaven and earth might hear.
Still further remark tits beauti III name.
lou have no ticed that it is impossible to dis
sociate q name from the person who has the
name. So there are names that are to me

while those very names are attractive to you.
Why the difference? 1t is because | happen
to know persons by those names, who are
Cross and sour, and snappish, and qneer,
while the persons you used to know by those
names We're pleasant and attractive. AS we
cannot dissoclate a name rom the person
who holds the name, that consideration
makesChrist's name SO nnspeakably beautiful
NO sooner is it pronounced in your presence
than you think bethlehem and Gethsemane,
am Golgotha, and you see the loving face,
and hear tta tender voice and feel the gentle
touch You see Jesus, the one who, though
banquetinC with heavenly herarchs, came
down TO breakfast on the fish that rough
men had just hauled out of Genessaret;
Jesus, the one, who, though the clouds are
the dust of his feet walked footsore on to
the road to Emmaus Just as soon as that
name is pronounced in your presence you
think OF how the shining one gave back the
centuron's daughter, and how he helped the
bind man to sunlight, and how he made the
cripple's crutches useless, and how he looked
down into the babes laughing eyes, and, as
the little one struggled to go to him, flung
ont his arms around it and impressed a Low
ing kiss on its brow. and said: s'Of snch is
the kingdom of heaven" Beautiful nome
