THE family of the Rothschilds is
significant of wealth, the loss of forty
millions of dollars in 1915 putting them
to no Inconvenience; and within Il few
years they have loaned Russia twelve
millions OF dollars, Naples twenty-five
millions, Austria forty millions and
England two hundred millions; and
tile stroke OF their pen on the counting

THE ROYAL HOUSE oFJESUS.
: But | come to preach of a family
more potential, more rich and more ex-
'stensivc-tlie royal house of Jesus, of
whom the whoie family in heaven and
on eartll is named. We are blood rela-
stions by the relationship of the Cross;
all OF us are the children of the King.
I First. speak of our family name.
When we see Il descendant of some one
greatly celebrated in the last century
we look ut him with profound interest.
To have had conquerors, kings or
princes in the ancestral line give luster
to the family name. In our line was
skiing and conqueror. The Star iii

Mt his birth. From thence lie 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 to his wheel
or in iron cages; but hear the stroke
of the loofs Of the snow white caval-
cade that bring them to the gates in
triumph.
Our family name takes luster from
the star that Leralded him, and the
spear that pierced him. and the crown
that was given him. 1t gathers fra
GRANGE from the frankincense brought
to his cradle and the lilies that flung
their sweetness into his sermons, and
the box Of alabaster that broke at his
feet. The Comforter at Bethany. The
Rcsurrector at Main. The supernatural
Oculist at Bethsaida The Saviour of
one world, and the Chief Joy of an
other. The storm his frown. The
sunlight his smile. The spring morn
ing his breath. The earthquake the
stamp of his foot. The thunder the
whisper of his voice. The ocean
/ drop on the tip Of his finger. Heaven
sparkle on the bosom of his love.
Eternity the twinkling of his eye. The
universe the flying dust Of his chariot
wheels. Able to heal a heartbrealS, or
hush a tempest, or drown n world or
flood immensely with his glory. What
other family name could ever boast OF
j such an llustrious personage2
SWING OUT THE COAT OF ARMS.
IIenccforth, swing out the coat OF
arms! Great families wear their coat
of arms on the dress, or on the door OF
tile coach, or on the helmet wien they
90 out to battle, or on flags or enslgas.
The l.eraldic sign is sometimes lion,
or dragon, or an eagle. Our coat of
arms, worn right over the heart, here
after shall be Cross, Lamb standing
under it and a Dove flying over it.
Gandest of all escutclleons! Most
significantof all family coats of arrps!"
In every battle l must have it blazing
on my flag-the Dove, the Cross, the
Lamb-and when | fall wrap Inc in
that good old Christian flag, so that
the family coat of arms shall be right
over my breast, that all the world play
see that | looked to the Dove OF the
Spirit, and chung to the Cross. and de-
pended upon the Lamb OF God, which
taketh away the sin of the world.
Ashamed of Jcsus-that dear friend
On whom my hopes of life depend.
- Mol when Iblush be this my shame
That no more revere his name.
