ment, living Cor herself and for time as
! IL there were no eternity strive to bring
her into the kingdom of God, as did the
other day Sabbath-school teacher, who
was the means of the conversion of a
daughter of man of immense wealth,
and the daughter resolved to join the
church, and she went home and
said: Father l am going to join the
church and want y on TO come" "Oh,
no." he said, II never go to church"
"Well" said the daughter, eff / were
going to be married, would you not go
to see me married?" And he said:
ooh yes" WELL" said she, this is
of more Importance than that" So he
went, and has gone ever since, and
loves to go. l do not know but that
faithful Sabbath-school teacher not only
saved woman, but saved a man. There
may be in this audience, gathered
from all parts of the world, there may
be a man whose behavior toward wom-
anhood has been perfidious. Repent!
Stand up, thou masterpiece of sin and
death, that / may charge you! AS far
as possible make reparation. Do not
boast that you have her in your power
and that she can not help herself
When that fine collar and cravat and
that elegant suit of clothes comes off
and your uncovered soul stands before
God you will be better off ii you save
that woman.
There is another exploit you can do.
-, - Il,
does not seem to amount to much. 1t
is nearly year old before it can walk
at all. For the first year and half it
can not speak word. For the first ten
years it would starve if it had TO earn
its own food For the first fifteen years
its opinion on any subject is absolutely
valueless. And then there are SO many
of them. My, what lots of children!
And some people have contempt for
children.
They are good for nothing but to
wear out the carpets and break things
and keep you awake nights crying.
Well, your estimate of child is quite
different from that mothers estimate
who lost her child this summer. They
took it to the salt air of the sca-shorc
and to the tonic air of the mountains,
but no help came, and the brief para
graph of its life ended Suppose that
life could be restored by purchase,
how much would that bereaved mother
give? She would take all the Jewels
from her fingers and neck and bureau
and Put them down. And if told
that that was not enough, she would
take her house and make over the deed
for it, and if that was not enough, she
would call in all her investments and
put down all her mortgages and bonds,
and If told that was not enough, she
would say, Il have made over all my
property, and if ! can have that child
back | will now pledge that will toll
with my hands and carry with
my own shoulders in any kind
of hard work, and live in n cell
lar and die III a garnet. Only give mo
back that lost darling!" 1 am glad
there are those who know something OF
the value of child. It's possibilities
are tremendous What will those hands
yet do? Where will those feet vet
walk? Toward what destiny will that
never-dying soul betakc itself? Shall
those lips be the throne of blasphemy
or benediction? Come, chronologist,
and calculate the decades on decades,
the centuries on centuries, of its life
time. Oh, to save child! Am | not
right in putting that among the great
exploits?
