Imperial, tender and all persuasive
is this word Come" Six hundred ano
seventy-eight times is it found IN the
Scriptures. 1t stands at the front gate
of the Bible as in my first text, inviting
antediluvians into Noah's ark. and II
stands at the other gate of the Bible as
in my second text, inviting the postd;-
lurians into the ark OF Savl0ur's me-

letters, but it, is the queen OF words. and
nearly the entire nation of EngllSi!
vocabulary bows to its scepter. 1t IS
an ocean into which empty ten thous'
and rivers of meaning. Other words
drive, but this beckons.
All moods of feeling hath that woro
"Come." Sometimes 1t weeps and
sometimes it laughs. Sometimes il
prays, sometimes it tempts and some
times it destroys. It sounds from the
door of church and from the seraglios 0;
sin, from the gates Of heaven and the
gates of he'll. II is continent and accres-
cent of all power. 1t is the helrcss OF
most of the past and the almoner 0,
most of the future. Gomez You may
pronounce it so that all the heavens vii!
be heard in its cadences, or pronounce
it so that all the woes of time and eter-
nifty shall reverberate in Its one sylia-
BILE. 1t is on the lip of. saint and pro-
fisate. It is The mightiest Of al solici-
tants either for good or bad.
