fohg enough; ana II the world does not
last, then with the earth's dissolution the
pyramid will also dissolve. But the mem.
cries of those with whom we associate are
indestructibe They win be more vivid
the other side OF the grave than this side.
1t is possible for nae to do you Q good and
for you to do me good that will be vivid
in memory as many years after the world
is burned up us all the sands Of the sea-
shore, and all the leaves Of the forest, and
all the grass blades of the field, and all the
stars Of heaven added together, and that
aggregate multiplied by all the figures
that all the bookkeepers of all time ever
wrote.
That desire to be remembered after we
are gone is diyiney implanted desire
and not to be crushed out but, | implore
you, seek something better than the i'm
naturalization of rock or bronze or book
Put yourself into the eternity Of those
whom you help for both worlds, this and
the next. Comfort a hundred souls and
there will be through all the cycles of eter-
nifty at least a hundred souls that will be
your monuments. A prominent member
of this church was brought to God by some
one saying to her at the church door at

it be possible for that one so invited to for
get the inviter?
A minister passing along the street every
day looked up and smiled to "a baby in the
window. The father and mother won
dered who it was that thus pleasantly
greeted their child. They found out that
he was the pastor of a church. They said,
1--WE must go and hear him preach" They
went and heard him and both were con
verified to God. VIII there be any power
in fifty million years to erase from the
souls of those parents the memory of that
man who by his friendiiness brought them
to God? Matthew Cranswick, an evangel-
list, said that he had the names OF two hun
dred souls saved through his singing the
hymn, "Arse, my soul, ariseW Will any
of those two hundred souls in all eternity
forget Matthew Cranswick? viii any of
the four hundred and seventy-nine women
and children imprisoned at Lucknow, In
dia waiting for massacre by the Sepoys,
forget Havelock and Outram and Sir David
Beard, who broke in and effected their res
cue?
To some Of you who have loved and
served the Lord heaven will be great
picture gallery of remembrance. Hosts of
the glorfed will never forget you. All,
that is the way of building monuments
that shall never feel the touch of decay !
do not ask you to suppress this natural de-
sire of being remembered after You are
gone, but | only want you to put your me-
MORALS into Il shape that shall never weak
en- OF fade. During the course of my min
istry | have been intimately associated
in Christian work with hundreds of good
men and women.
My memory is hung with their portraits
more accurate and vivid than anything
that Rembrandt ever put on canvass Faith
er Grice, De Witt G.. Moore, Father Voor
hees, e. p. Hopkins, William Stephens,
John Van Rensselaer,, Gasherie De Witt
Dir. Ward and hundreds of Others, all of
them gone out of this life, hut | hold the
memory of them and will hold them for
ever. They cannot escape from me. | will
remember them just as they looked on
earth, and | will remember many of you
after the earth has been an extinct planet
for ages infinite. Oh what stuff the mem
DRY is for monument building
