The subject of DIR. Talmagc's sermon
on Sunday was: Royal Blood" and his
text: Judges viii. IS: Each one re-
sembled the children of king"
Zebah and Zalmunna had been on to
battle. and when they came back they
were asked what kind OF people they
had seen. They answered TINT tho pco-
pie had royal appearances; leach one
resembled the children OF n king" I
stand to-day before many who have
this appearance. Indeed. they are the
coma and daughters OF the Lord AL
mighty. Though now In exile. they
shall yet come to their thrones There
are family names that stand for wealth.
or patriotism. or intelligence. The
name of Washington means patriotism.
although some of the blood OF that
race has become very thin In the last
generation. Tho family Of the Mcdici

But ! come to preach OF family
more potential. more rich and more ex-
tensivc--the Royal House of Jesus. OF
whom the whole family In Heaven and
on earth is named. We are blood rcla-
lions by the relationship of the Cross;
all of ms arc the children of the King.
First speak of our family name.
When we see the descendant OF some
one greatly celebrated In the last CEN
fury we look at him with profound En-
forest To have had conquerors, kings
or princes In the ancestral line give
luster TO the family mama In our
line was king or conqueror. The
Star In the East with baton OF light
woke up the eternal orchestra that
made music mt His birth. From thence
He started forth TO conquer all nations,
not by tramping them down. but by
lifting them mp. st. John saw Him on
. white horse. When He returns He
will not bring the nations chained TO
His wheel. or in iron cages: but hear
the stroke of tho hoofs of the snow
white cavalcadc that bring them TO the
gates In triumph.
Our family name takes luster from
the state that hernldsd him, and the
spear that pierced him. and the crown
that was given him. II gathers fra
GRANGE from the frankincenso brought
TO his cradle, and the lilies that flung
their sweetness into his sermons, and
the box of alabaster that broke ut his
feet The Comforter at Bethany. The
Resurrector at Main. The supernat.
ural Oculist at Bethsaida The
Saviour of one world. and the Chief
Joy of another. The storm his
frown. The sunlight His smile. The
spring morning His breath. The earth
quake the stamp of his foot The
the whisper of his voice. The
ocean a drop on the end OF His finger.
Heaven a sparkle on the bosom of his
love. Eternity the twinkle of His eve.
The universe the flying dust of His
Able TO hear n heart.
break, o. hush a tempest or drown n
world, or flood immcnsity with His
glorv. What other family name could
ever boast of such an illustrious per
sonage?
Henceforth, swing out the coat OF
arms! Great families wear their coat
of arms on the dress. or on the door of
the coach. or on the helmet when they
go out TO battle or on flags and ensigna
The heraldic sign Is sometimes n lion,
or dragon. or an eagle. Our coat Of
arms, worn right over the heart, here
after shall be n cross, n lamb standing
under IL and a dove flying over IT,
Grandest Of ali escutcheons! Most sig.
nidcant of all family coats OF arms"
In every battle ! must have IL blazing
on my fiag-the dove. the cross. the
lamb; and when I fall wrap me In that
good old Christian flag. so that the
family coat of arms shall be right over
my breast, that NIL the world may see
that looked TO the dove OF the Spirit
and clung to the cross. and depended
on the Lamb of God. which taketh away
the sin of the world.
Ashamed OF Jesus that dear Friend
On whom my hopes OF life depend;
MOI when blush be this my shame
ThhtI no more revere bis name.
