VSTESA5LE PROPOSITIONS
There is 4 mistake we make about young
men. We put them in two GLASSES; the
one class is moral, the other Is dissolute.
The moral are safe. The dissnluee cannot
lie reclaimed. / deny both propositions.
The moral are not safe unless they have
laid hold Of God, and the dissoluts may b
reclaimed. suppose there are self right
eous men in this house who feel no need Of
God, and will nes seek after him, aod they
will go out ia the world. and they viii bs
tempted. and they will be flung down by
misfortune. and they will 60 down, down,
down, until some night you will see them
going homo hooting, raving, shouting
blasphemy-going home to their mother,
going home to their sister. going home
to the young companion to whom. only .
little while ago. in the presence Of bril-
liant assem- Slace, flashing lights and
oranss blossoms. and censers swinging in
the air, they promised fidelity and purity,
and Kindness perpetual. AS that man
reaches the door, she viii open 1t, not
with an outcry, but she will stagRer
back from the door as he comes in, and
in her look there will be the prophecy
Of wees that are coming, want that will
shivey In need OF fire, hunger that will
cry in vain for bread, cruelties that
win not leave tho heart when they have
crushed il, but pinch it again and stab
1t again, until some night she will open
the door of the place where her compassion
was ruined, and she will ding out her arm
from under her ragged shawl and say.
with almost onnipotent eloquence: "Give
me back my husband! Give me back my
protector! Give me back nay all! Him OF
the kind heart and gentle words aud the
manly brow-give him back to mep' And
then the wretches, obese and filthy, will
push back their matted locks and they
will say: Put her out! Put her ourr Oh!
self righteous man, wishout God you are
in peril. Seek after him today. Amid the
ten thousands temptations OF life there Is
no safety for q man without God.

gone assray, and SO assault that other
proposition that the dissolute cannot be re-

Come home, young man, to your fathers
