THE rPHoorixG cIAssEs
have preached this sermon for four or
five practical reasons: Because want you
to know who are the uprooting classes Of
society. Because l want you TO be more
discriminating in your charities. Because
! want your hearts open with generosity,
and your hands open with charity. De-
cause / want you TO be made the sworn
friends OF all city evangelization, and all
ncwsboys' lodging houses. and al chill
dren's aid societies. and Dorcas societies,
under the ski;lfal manipulation Of wives
aud mothers and sisters and daughters;
let the spare garments Of your war1robes
be fitted TO the limbs OF the wan and shiv-
ering. shorld not wonder IL that hat
that you give should come back jeweled
coronet, or IL that garment that you hand
out from your wardrobe should nysteri-
ously be whitened. and somehow wrought
into the Saviour's own robe, 80 in the last
day he would run his hand over it and say,
Il was naked and ye clothed me-" That
would be putting your garments to glori-
Gus uses.
But moro than that, have preached the
sermon because / thought In the contrast
you would zee how very kindly God had
dealt with you, and l thought that thou
sands of you would 60 to your comfortable
homes and sit 1t your well filled tables
and at the warm registers, and look at the
round faces Of yocr children, and that then
you would burxt into tears at the review of
Gods goodness to you, and that you would
60 to your roam and lock tho door and
kneel down and say:
20 Lord. have been an ingrate; make
me thy child. o Lord, there arc so many
hungry and unclad and unsheltcretl today.
thank thee that all my life thon hast
taken such good care of me. o LORI, there
are SO many sick and crippled children to-
day, thank thee mine are we.i--s0me of
them on earth. some of them In heaven.
Thy goodness, 0 Lord, breaks mo down.
Take me once and forever. Sprinkled rs
was many years ago at the altar, while my
mother held me, now consecratc my soul
to thee in q holier baptism Of rcpenting
tears.
Fer sinners. Lord. thou cam'st to bleed.
And I'm sinner viic indeed;
Lord, believe thy greco is free.
o magnify that grace to me-"
