did the other day a Sabbath school

There is another exploit you can do. and
| that is to save child. A child does not
seem to amount to much. It is nearly a
| year old before 1t can walk at all For the
| hTst year and Il half it cannot speak word.
| For the first ten years it would starve if II
| had to earn its own food. For the first
fifteen years its opinion on any subject Is
absolutely valueless Aud then there are so
many OF them. My; what lots of children
| And some people have contempt for chill
dren. They are good for nothing but to
wear out the carpets and break things and
keep you wake nights crying. Well, your
estimate of a child is quite different from
that mothers estimate who lost her child
this sumatAr. They took 1t to the salt air Of
the seashpre, and to the tonic air of the
mountains, but no help came, and the brief
paragraph 81 its life is ended. Suppose that
| life could be restored by purchase, how
much would that bereaved mother give?
She would take all the jewels from her
| fingers and neck and bureau and put them
| down. And II told that that was not
enough she would take her house and make
over deed for 1t, aud if that we're not
enough, she would call in all her in
vestments, and put down all her mort
cages and bonds. aud if told that
| were not enough, she would say: ~
have made over all my property, aud if |
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 work and live in cellar and
die in garrett. Only give me back that
lost darlingw am glad that there are
| those who know something of the value of u
| child. Its possibilities ore tremendous
What will those hands yet do. Where will
those feet yet walkg Toward what destiny
will that never-dying soul betake itselfl
Shall those lips be the throne OF basphemy

calculate the decades on decades, the CEN
turtles on centuries, of its lifeline Oh, to
save childl Am | not right la putting
that among the great exploitss
| But what are you going to do with thoss
| children who are worse off than il their
father and mother had died the day they
| were borna There are tens Of thousands Of
such. Their parentage was against them
| Their name Is against them. The structure of
their skull is against them. Thor nerves and
muscles are contaminated by the inebriety
or dissoluteness of their parents; they are

What to do with them is the question often
| asked. There Is another question quite as
| pertinent, and that is, what are they going
| to do with us9 They will ten or eleven wears
| from now, have as many votes as the same
number Of we'll born children, aad they will
hand this land over to anarchy and political

How shall we get ready for one or all of
these three exploitsl We shall make dead
| failure If in our own strength we try to
save man or woman or child But my
text suggests where we are 10 get equip

| God shall be strong and do exploits" We
| must know him through Jesus Christ in our
OWN salvation AMI then we shall have his
help IN the salvation Of others. And while
| you are saving strangers you may save
| some OF your own kin. You think Your
brothers and sisters and children aad grand
children all safe, but they are not dead, and
no one is safe till he is dead On the English
| coast there wss q wild storm, and a wreck
| in the citing, and the cry was: Man the
lifeooatp But Harry, the usual leader Of
| the sailors crew, was not TO be found, and
they went without him, and brought back
all the shfpwrecked people but one. BY this
time Harry. the leader of the crew, ap-
peared and SAID: why did you leave that
oneP' The answer was: "He could not
help himself at all, ard we could not get
him into the boat" Man the lifeboat ="
shouted Harry. and we will go for that
one" NO" said his aged mother, standing

and cannot let you also go,
for l am old and dependent on you "
His reply was: mother, l must go aud

The tehoAt put out, and after an awful
struggle with the sea tGey picked the poor
fellow out OF the rigging just in time to
save his life, and started for the shore And
as they came within speaking distance,
Harry cried out: I'VE saved him, and tell
mother it was brother Will" Oh, yes, my
friends, let US start out 10 save some ope
for time aud for eternity, some man, some
woman, some child AID who knows but
1t may, directly or in iirectly. be the saliva
ton OF one of our own kindred, and that
will be an exploit worthy OF celebration
