the Mozarts Of the earth will Join their
voices aud their musical instruments,
and soft south wind, aud loud-lunged
leuroclydOn will sweep the great organ
pipes, aud YOU shall see Gods hand
striking the keys, and Gods foot
tramping the pedals in the great ora
tori0 Of the ages!
SO all artistic and literary avantages
are in the Christians right. do not
care on whose wall the picture hangs,
/ or on whose pedestal the sculpture
stands it belongs TO Christians. The
/ Bierstadts aud the churches are all
/ working iOr US. "All are. yours. The
Luxem b0urg'S the Louvre, all the gal
/ leries Of Naples, and Rome and Venice
they are al 10 come into the posses
sion OF the Church of Jesus Christ. We
I may not now have them on our walls,
I bat the time will come when the writ
OF eiectment will be served and the
church will possess everything. All
parks, all fSh-pODds, ali colors, al har-
vests-all, ''all are yours"
SECONDLY, I REMARK
that tho right 10 full temporal support
I is i'm the Christians name. 1t is great
affair 10 feed the world. just think OF
the fact that, this morning, sixteen
hundred millions OF our race breakfast
ed at Gods table! The cOmmisSary de-
partmeut Of hundred thousand men
IN an army will engage scores OF people;
/ but Just think OF a commissary depart
ment of a world Think or the gather
I ing up from the rice SwampS, and the
the tea fields, and the orchards and the
fisheries. No one but God could tell
how many bushels it would take to feed
five continents.
Then, to clothe all these people-how
many furs must be captured, and how
much fax broken, and how much cot
too picked. Just think Of the infinite
wardrobe where sixteen hundred million
people get their ciOtheSl God spreads
the table first Of all for his children.
or course, that would be a very selfish
man who would not allow other people
20 come and sit at his table sometimes;
but. first Of all, the right Is given to
Christian people. aud therefore 10 is eX-
IRENE folly for them ever to fret about
food or raiment. Who fed the whales
sporting of Cape Hatteras this morning?
Out of whose hand did the cOrmOrant
pick IT'S food? Whose loom wOve the
butterhy'S wing? Who hears the hawks
cry? II God takes care OF WARNS,
and Siberian dog, and wasp, will he
not take care of you? viii a father
have more regard for reptiles than for
his sons and daughters? III God clothes
the grizzly bear. and the panther, and
the hyena, will ne not clothe his own
children? Come, then, this morning,
and get the key Of the infinite store
house. Come and get the key OF the
infinite wardrobe. Here they are-ail
the keys. "AIl are yours"
so ALL THE vICIssUUDEs
of this life. so far as they have any re-
ligious profit, are in the right of the
Christian. II you should stand among
the Allegheny mountains, especially
near what is called the Horseshoe, "
you would find a train OF cars almost
doubling on itself, and sitting in the
back car you see a locomotive coming
as you look out OF the window, and you
think 10 is another train when it is only
the front of the train in which you are
riding; and sometimes you can hardly
tell whether the train is going toward
Pittsburg or toward Philadelphia, but
it is on the track, and il will reach the
depot for which it started, and all the
passengers will be discharged at the
right place. Now, there are great
many sharp curves in life. Sometimes
we seem 70 be going this way, and
sometimes we seem TO be going that
way: but il we are Christians we are on
the right track, and we are going to
come out az the right place. Do not
get worried, then, about the sharp
curve. A sailing vessel starts from
New York for Glasgow. Does il go in
a straight line? Oh, no. 1t changes
its tack every little while. Now, you
say, This vessel instead of going TO
Glasgow, must be going TO Havre, or it
is going to Hamburg, or 1t is going to
MarseilleS." No, no, 10 is going to
Glasgow. And IN this voyage OF life
we often have 10 change our tack. One
storm blows us this way, and another
storm blows us that way; but he who
holds the winds in his fist will bring US
into a haven OF everlasting rest just at
the right time. Do no worry, then, If
you have 70 change tack.
GO FURTHER,
and tell you that the Christian owns not
only this world, but he owns the next
world. No chasm to be leaped, no des-
ert TO be crossed. There is the wall;
there is the gate Of heaven. He owns
all on this side. Now, | am going to
show YOU that he owns all on the other
side. Death Is not ruffian that comes
down TO burn US out of house and home,
destroying the house of the tabernacle,
so that we should be homeless forever.
Oh, no, He is only a black messenger
who comes to tell US it is time to move;
to tell US to get out Of this hut, and go
up into the palace. The Christian owns
an heaven. ''All are yours" Its pal
aces OF beauty, its towers Of strength,
its castles of love. He will not walk in
the eternal city as a foreigner in a
strange city, but as a farmer walks over
mis- own premises. "All are yours" All
the mansions yours Angels your com
pauiOns. Trees of life your shade. Hills
OF glory your lookout. Thrones OF
heaven the place where you will shout
the triumph, Jesus is yours. God is
yours. You look up into the face Of
God, and say, my Father" You look
up iato the face Of Jesus, and say, MY
brother" Walk out on the battlementS
of heaven and look of upon the city Of
the sun. No tears. No sorrow. No
death. No smoke OF toiling warehouse
curling on the air. No voice OF bias
phemy thrilling through that bright,
clear Sabbath morning. No din Of strife
iorriro the air Then take mt your
