millions OF dollars in 1S4S putting them

millions Of dollars, Naples twenty-five
millions, Austria forty millions, ana
England two hundred millions; and the
stroke OF their pen on the counting
room desk shakes everything from the
Irish Sea 70 the Danube. They open
their hand, and there is war; they smut

more potential, more rich and more eX-
tensive-the Royal House Of Jesus, OF
whom the whole family in heaven and
on earth is named. We are blood rela-
lions by the blood relationship OF the
Cross: all of US are the children OF the
King.
FIRST. SPEAK
OF our family name. When we see ade-
scendant OF some one greatly celebrated
i'm the last century, we look az him with
profound interest. To have had con-
ouerors, kings, or princes in the ances-
trail line give lustre to the family name.
In our line was King and COnquerOr.
The Star in tho East with baton OF light
woke up the eternal orchestra that
made music 40 his birth. From thence
he started forth TO conquer all nations,
not by trampling them down, but by
lifting them up. st. John saw him on
"a white horse. When he returns, he
will not bring the nations chained 70 his
wheel, or in iron cages; but l hear the
stroke OF the hoofs OF the snow-white
cavalcade that bring them 10 the gates
in triumph.
Ashamed of Jesus.-thlt dear Friend,
on whom ms hopes Of lile depend,
No. when / blush be this my shame
That NO more revere ms name.
Next, speak of the family sorrows.
III trouble come 10 one member Of the
family, all feel It, 10 is the custom,
after the body is lowered into the grave,
for all the relatives TO come to the verge
of the grave and look down into 1t.
First those nearest the departed one,
then those next of kin, until they have
all looked into the grave. So, when
trouble and grief go down through the
heart OF one member o. the family, they
go down through them all. The sad
ness of one is the sadness of al. A
company OF persons join hands around an
electric battery; the two persons at the
ends Of the line touch the battery, and
all the circle feels the shock Thus, by
reason Of the flial, maternal and pater-
nal relations of life, we stand so close
together that when trouble sets its bat
terry, all feel the thrill Of distress. In
the great Christian family the sorrow Of
one ought 20 be the sorrow OF all. Is
one prosecuted? All are prosecuted.
Does one suffer loss? We all suffer loss.
Is one bereayed? We are all bereaved.
Their streaming eyes together low
For human guilt and mortal woe.
IF YOU REJOICE
az another's misfortune, you are not
one Of the sheep, but one of the goats;
aud the vulture Of sin hath alighted on
your soul, and not the Dove Of the
Spirit
Next, ! notice the family property
After q man OF large estate dies, the rel
atiyeS assemble 10 hear the will read.
So much Of the property is willed TO his
sons, and 50 much 90 his daughters, and
so much 20 benevolent societies. Our
Lord Jesus hath died, and we are as
ScmtIed to-day TO hear the will read.
lie says: My peace l give unto YOU"
Through his Apostle he says: "All are
yours What. Everything? Yes,
everything. This world and the next.
In distinguished families there are old
pictures hanging on the wall. They are
called the "heir-lOOms" Of the estate
They are very old, and have come down
from generation 10 generation. So /
look upon all the beauties Of the natural
world as the helr-iO0mS Of our royal
family. The morning breaks from the
east. The mists travel up hill above
Hill, mountain above mountain, until
Sky-lOSg. The forests are full of chirp,
and buzz, and song. Trees leaf and
birds wing futter with gladness.

LIGHT FOR THE POOR
who have no lamps to burn, Light for
