i, but ! remark again, in regard to
inns name OF Christ, that it is a mighty
name. Rothschild is q name mighty
IN the commercial world, Silliman IS
q name mighty in the scientific world.
irving IS name mighty in the liter

mighty in the political world, Yelling
Ton IS name mighty in the military
world; but where in all the earth is q,
name 50 potent to lift, and thrill, and
arouse, and rally, and bless,
AS THE NAME JESUS?
z Why, the sound Of that one name

name while | speak, holds q hundred

the sound Of that name the sea- drop

the black horse Of death must come

OOl!ei uo1nlnlOns seem to be giving
way: France had to give up some Of

a great deal of her power; many ofthe
thrones of the world are being lower

world are being shortened.

tuition established, spreads abroad
the mighty name of Christ. It has al

and in the Brazilian grove, and in the
Eastern pagoda. That name will
swallow up all other names. That
crown will yet cover up all other
crowns: That empire will yet COM

But l remark again, taking a step
forward in this subject, that the name
OF Christ is an enduring name. You
get over the fence of the graveya ard
and you pull the weeds back from the
name that has nearly faded from the
tombstone, and you wish that Walter
Scott's cold Mortality would come
along and rechisel it so that you
might really find out what the anne
is. Why, that was the name of the
greatest man in all the town, in all
the county, in all the state, now al
most faded from the tombstone. And
so the greatest names of this world
either have persisted or are perShing.
Gregory vi, Sancho, of Spain, Conrad
l., of Germany, Richard l., of Eng
land, Catharine of Russia. Those
names were once mighty and they
made the earth tremble. Who cares
Tor them now? None so poor as to do
them reverence. =.
~- BUT THE NAME OF CHRIST
is enduring forever. 1t will be pre-
served in the worlds fine art. There
will be other Bellinis to sketch the
Madonna, and other Ghirlandaajos
to present the baptism of Christ, and
other Bronzinos to show Christ visit
ing the spirits in prison, land other
Giottos to appeal the vision with the
crucifiction. It will be preserved
in the worlds literature. There
will be other Alexander Popes
to write the Messiah" and 9TH
er Mr.. Youngs to celebrate his
triumph, and other Cowpers to sing
his love. It will be preserved in the
worlds grand and elaborate architect
ure, and Professionalism shall yet have
its st. Marks and it's st. Peters. It
shall be preserved in the world litera-
ture, for there will be other Paleys to
write the evidences of Christianity"
More than all, it will be embalmed in
the hearts of all the good of earth,
and all the great ones of heaven.
My friends, have you made up your
mind by what name you will accost
Christ when you see him in heaven?
Now, that is a practical question.
For you will see him, child OF God,
just as certainly as you sit there and
| stand here. By what name have
you made up your mind to call Christ
when you first meet him in heaven?
Will you call him "Annointed One"
or "Messiah?" or will |you take some
one OF the symbolic terms which you
read in your Bible on earth-terms
by which Christ was designated?
