VOL XIX ISLAND POND, VERMONT SEPTEMBER a.,

IL there were no eternity, strive 10 bring hen
into the kingdom of God, as did the other day
Sabbath-school teacher, who was the mean
OF the conversion Of the daughter OF a man OF
immense wealth, and the daughter re
solved TO join the church, and she went home
and said, Father, | am going TO join the
church, and | want you TO come" "0h,
no." he said, Il never go to church
'Well," said the daughter, iii | We're going
70 be married would you not go to see me
marriedg' And he said, "Oh, yes "Wel, -
said she, "this is Of more Importance than
that
SO he went ani has gone ever since. aud
loves TO go. l do not know but that faith
tul Sabbath-school teacher not only saved
woman, but saved man. There may be
in this audience, gathered from all plrts OF
tho world there may be a man whose be.
havior toward womanhOoi has been per.
iidious. Repent stand up, thou master
piece Of sin and death. that | may charge
YOU! As far as possible make reparation.
DO not boast that you have her in your
power ami that she cannot help herself
When that fine collar and cravat, and that
elegant suit OF clothes comes Off and your
uncovered soul stands before God, you VIII
be better Off if you save that woman.
There is another exploit you can do, and
that is TO save a child. A child does not
seem to amount 10 much. IL is nearly a
year old before it can walk at all. For the
first year and a half it cannot speak word.
For the first ten years IL would starve il it
had 10 earn its own foo |. For the first NJ
teen years its opinion on any subject is alb
souteIy valualess. AMI then there are SO
many Of them. Ny, what lots OF children !
And some people have contempt for children.
They are good for nothing but to wear cut
the carpets and break things and keep you
awake nights crying.
Well, your estimate OF cnill is quite
different from that mothers estimate who
lost her child this summer. They took it
to the salt air OF the selshoro AMI 10 the
tonic air of the mountains. but no help
came, and the brief paragraph OF its life IS
ended. Suppose that life could be restored
by purchase, how mlca would that be-
reavel mother give! She would take all
the jewels from her ipgers ami mock and
bureau and put them down. And II told
that that was not enough she would take
her house and make over the deed for 1t,
and il that were not enough she would call
in all her investments and put down all her
mortgages aud bonds and il told that were
not enough she would say: Il have male
over all my property and II can have that
child back | will now pledge that will toll
with my own hands and carry with my own
shoulders in any kind OF hard worG aud 1.-Two
in a cellar ami die in a garret. Only give
me back that lost darling"
| am glad that there are those who know
something of a value of Il child. Its posi-
bilties are tremendous. What will thoss
hands yet doy Where will those feet yet
walkl Toward what destiny will that never
dying soul betake itself? Shall those lips bs
the throne OF blasphemy or benedc.ion'
Come chronoligists, and calculate the decades
| h.,, Of "a
lifetime. On, to save a child Am | not
right in putting that among tue great eI-
ploitss
But what are you going to do with those
children VINO are WORSE Off than IL their
father and mother had diel the day they
were born! There are tens Of thousands OF
such. Their pareutage was against them.
Their name is against them. The structure
of their skulls is against them. Their nerves
and muscles Contaminated by tins inohrloty
or diSsoluteuess of their parents; they are
practically at their birth laid oat on
! plank in the middle OF the Atlantic Ocean,
In an equiuoctial gale, AMI toll II make for
shore. What to do with them is the ques-
ton often asked.
There is another question quito as peril
nent, and that is What arc they going %
do with us! They will, ten or eleven years
from now, hnve AS many votes as the same
number of well born children, aud they will
hand this land over 10 the anarchy and po-
litical damnattOn just as sure as we neglect
them. Suppose we each one Of Us save n boy
or save glrl. You can do it. VIII your
| will.
| How shall we get ready for one or all
/ of these three exploitsl We shall make
dead failure II in our own strength we try
~ save a man or woman or cnild. But my
text suggests where we are to get equip
ment The people that do know tnelr
| God shall be strong aui do exploits Wo
must know Him through Jesus Christ in
our own salvation, and then we shall have
His help in the salvation OF others. And
while you ara saving strangers YOU may
save some of your own kin. You thrS
your brothers AMI sisters AMI children ant
grandchildren all safe but they are not
dead and no one is safe till he is dead. Oa
the English coast there was q wild storm
and a wreck IN the o'iing, and the cry was,
"Man tue liteboat~ But Harry. the usual
leader o. the sailors crew, was not to be
found, and they won't without him, aud
brought back all the shipwrecked people but
one.
BY this time Harry, the leader of the
crew, appeared and said, why dill you
leave that oneY The answer was, III,
c)uld not help himself at all, AMI We could
not get him into tho boat" Man the life
boatH shouted Harry, "anl We will go for
that one.' NO" sail his aged mother,
standing by, you must not 60 lost
your father in a storm like this, and youT
brother win went Off six years ago, and
have not heard word from VIII since h
left, and | don't know where he is, poor Will
and | cannot let you also GO for am Ole
and dependent on YOU His reply was
Mother, | must go and save that one man
and il am lost God will take care of you ii
your old days
Tho lifeboat put out aud after an awfu
struggle with the sea they pickei the poor
fellow out of the rigging just in time tc
save his life, aud startei for the shore
As they came within speaking distance
Harry cried out, 1--WE saved him, aut
tell mother it was brother Will" Oh
YES, my friends, let us start out to save som
one TOR time and for eternity, some mar
some woman, some child. And who know
but it may, directly or indirectly, be tn
salvation of one of our own kindred, an
that will be an exploit worthy of celebratio
when tho world itself is shipwrecked, an
the sun has gone out like spark rom
smitten anvil, and all the stars are dead!
Perfumes Initiated by Science.
Chemistry has found it possible NJ
only to aualyzo perfumes, that Is Il
ottos or essential oils, that would seer
their final resting place, but to build u
substances that have similar odors. Rur
, ether, the substance to which rum owt

troublesome to give, is a regular artic
of commerce in Austria. 1t is made |
taking twelve pounds each of sulphur

twenty six pounds of alcohol, and ten
,, strong acetic acid. These ingredien
are mixed, and twelve piuts distilled fro
them.
