to church to-day and hear our singing::'
Come and let me introduce to You q
Christian man whom you will be sure tc
admire:" Come with me into assOcia

4 AMPLE ROOM FOR ALL MEN.
With that word which has done 50
much good for others | approach you
to-day. Are you all right with God?
NO" YOU say. Il think not: am some
times alarmed when think of Him: !
fear will not be ready to meet Him ON
the last day: my heart is not right with
God" Come then and have ii made
right. Through the Christ who died
to save YOU. come. What is the use of
waiting? The longer you wait the
further of you are and the deeper you
are down. Strike out for heaven. You
remember that few years ago Il steam
er called the Princess Alice, with u
crowd of excursionists aboard, sank in
the Thames. and there was an awful
sacrifice of life. \ boatman from the
shore put out for the rescue, and he had
big boat. and he got it so full 1t would
not hold another person. and as he laid
hold of the oars to pull for the shore,
leaving hundreds helpless and drowning,
he cried out: 20. that | had u bigger
boat" Thank God am not limited,
and that can promise room for all in
the gospel boat. Get in: get in. And
vet there is room. Room in the heart
of pardoning God. Room in heaven.

II any ever escape the struggle OF life, l
nave not found them. They are not
certainly among the prosperous classes.
In most cases it is a struggle all the way
up till they reach the prosperity, and
since they have reached these heights
there have been perplexities, anXieties
and crises which were almost enough
to shatter the nerves and turn the brain.
It would be hard to tell which have the
biggest fight in this world-the pros
perities or the adversities, the conspic-
uities or the Obscurities. Just as soon
as you have had enough success to at
tract the attention of Others. the envies
and jealousies are let loose from their
kennel. The greatest crime you can
commit in the estimation of others is to
get on better than they do. They think
your addition is their subtraction. Five
hundred persons start for certain goal
of success: one reaches it and the other

MIGHTY AID IN ALL DISTRESS.
1t would take volumes to hold the
story of the wrongs, Outrages and defal-
cations that have come upon you as a
result of your success. the warm sun
of prosperity brings into life swamp
| full of annoying insects. On the other
hand the unfortunate classes have their
struggles for maintenance. To achieve
livelihood by one who had nothing to
start with. and after awhile for family
as we'll, and carry this on until children
are reared and educated and fairly start
ed in the world, and to this amid all the
rivali.ies of businesa and the uncertain
ties of crops and the fickleness of tariff
legislation, with an occasional labor
strike. and here and there a financial
panic thrown in, is mighty thing to
do, and there are hundreds and thous-
ands such heroes and heroines who live
unsung and die unhonored. What we
all need. whether up or down in life or
half way between, is the infinite solace
OF the Christian religion. And so we
employ the word-''Come" 1t will take
all eternity to find out the number of
business men who have been straight
ened by the promises OF God, and the
people who have been fed by the ravens
when other resources gave out, and the
men and women who, going into this
battle armed only with needle or saw,
or axe. or yardstick, or pen, or type, or
shovel, or shoe last have gained a vic
tory that made the heavens resound.
With all the resources OF God promised
for every exigency, no one need be left
in the lurch. S~HN
| like the faith displayed years ago in
Drury Lane, London, in humble home
where every particle of food had given
out. and a kindly soul entered with tea
and other table supplies, and found a
kettle on the fire ready for the tea.
The benevolent lady said: How is 1t

And the daughter of the home said:
Mother would have me put the kettle
on the fire, and when l said, what is
the use OF doing so, when we have moth
ing in the hOuse?' she said, my child,
God will provide: thirty years he has
already provided for me through all my
pain and helplessness, and he will.-nOt
leave me to starve at last. He will
send us felp though we do not yet Ssee
how We have been waiting all ethe

we saw you we knew not how it was to
come"
