 was reading of an entertainment given in kings court, and there were musicians there with elaborate pieces of music. After awhile Mozart came and began to play, and he had blank piece of paper before him, and the king famil- iarly looked over his shoulder and said: What are you playing? see no music before you" And Mozart put his hand on his brow, as much as to say, 'I am improvising." It was very well for him, but, oh my friends, we cannot extem- porize heavenl If we do not get pre- pared in this world we will never take part in the orchestral harmonies of the saved. Oh, that we were as wise as the crane and the stork, flying away, flying away from the tempestl
 Some of you have felt the pinching frost of sin. You feel it today. You are not happy. look into your faces and l know you arc not happy. There are voices within your soul that will not be silenced, telling you that you are sin ners and that without the pardon of God you are undone forever. What are you going to do, my friends, with the &C., cumulated transgressions of this life time? Will you stand still and let the avalanche tumble over youp Oh, that you would go away into the warm heart of Gods mercy! The southern grove, redolent with magnolia and cactus, never waited for northern flocks as God has waited for you, saying: I have loved thee with an everlasting lover Come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and will give you rest"
 SORROW WARNS US TO PREPARE.
 Another frost is bidding you away it is the frost of sorrow. Where do you live now? "Oh," you say, Il have moved" Why did you move? You say "I don't want as large house now as formerly" Why do you not want as large house2 You say, My family is not so large" Where have they gone? "To eternity" Your mind goes back through that last sickness, and through the almost supernatural effort to save life, and through those prayers that seemed unavailing, and through that kiss which received no response because the lips were lifeless, and l hear the bells tolling and hear the hearts breaking while I speak 1 hear them break. A heart! Another heart! Alone, alone. alonei
 This world, which in your girlhood and boyhood was sunshine, is cold now, and, oh, weary dove, you fly around this world as though you would like to stay, when the wind, and the frost, and the blackening clouds would bid you away into the heart of an all comforting Godl Oh, have noticed again and again what a botch this world makes of it when 1t tries to comfort soul in trouble! It says. Don't cryi" How can we help crying when the hearts treasures are scattered, and fa- ther is gone, and mother is gone, and companions are gone, and the child is gone, and everything seems gone?
 It is no comfort to tell man not to cry. The world comes up and says, "Oh, it is only the body of your loved one that you have put in the groundw But there is no comfort in that. That body is precious. Shall we never put our hand m that hand again, and shall we never see that sweet face agsini Away with your heartlessness, oh, worldl But come, Jesusl and tell us that when the tears fall they fall into Gods bottle; that the dear bodies of our loved ones shall rise radiant in the resurrection, and all the breakings down here shall be lifted up there, and "they shall hunger no more, neither thirst DO more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living of water, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes"
 You may have noticed that when the or the stork, or the crane starts on its migration it calls all those of it's kind to come too. The tree tops are full of chirp and whistle and carol and the long roll call. The bird does not start off alone. Itgathers all of it's kind. Oh, that you might be as wise in this migra- tion to heaven, and that you might gather all your families and your friends with you! would that Hannah might take Samuel by the hand, and Abraham might take Isaac, and Hagar might take  Start for heaven yourself, and take | your children with you. Come thou and | III thy house into the ark. Tell your title ones that there are realms of balm l md sweetness for all those who fly in | he right direction. Swifter than eagles | itroke put out for heaven. Like the ,rane or the stork, stop not night nor lay until you find the right place for stopping.
 Today the Saviour calls,
 Ye wanderers come.
 Oh, ye benighted souls,
 Why longer roam2
 The Spirit calls today,
 Yield to his power,
 Oh, grieve him not away,
 "ris mercy's hourl
