But | remark again, taking a step for
ward in this subject, that the name OF
Christ is an enduring name. You get
over the fence Of the graveyard and you
pull the weeds back from the name that
has nearly faded from the tombstone,
and you wish that Walter Scott's "Old
Mortality" would come along and re-
chisel it, so that you might really find
out what the name is Why, that was
the name of the greatest man in all the
town. in all the country. in all the
state. now almost faded from the tomb

And so the greatest names of this
world either have perished, or are perish

were once mighty, and they made the
earth tremble. Who cares for them
now? None 80 poor as to do them rev.

the worlds fine art. There will be other

other Ghirlandaajos to present the bap-

tiagration all heaven went down, and
the people come out to look upon the
charred ruins; but even then they would
hear the name of Christ in the thunder
of falling towers, and in the crash OF
temple walls, and see it interviewer into
the flying banners of flame, and the re-
