great deal of her power; many of the
thrones Of the world are being lowered;
many of the scepters of the world are
being shortened; but every tract dis
tributor, every Bible printer, every
Christian institution established,
spreads abroad the mighty name Of
Christ. II has already been heard UNI
der the Chinese wall, and In the Siberian
snow castle, 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 compass
all denominations. ..wW r

But l remark again, taxing a step
forward 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 tomb
stone, and you wish that Walter SCOTS
"Old Mortality" would come along and
rechisel 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 tombstone.
And SO the greatest names of this world
either have persisted or are pcrishing.
Gregory VI, Sancho. of Spain. Conrad
l., of Germany, Richard L., of England,
Catharine. of Russia; those names were
once mighty, and they made the earth
tremblc. Who cares for them nowp
None so poor as to do them reverence.
But the name Of Christ is enduring for
ever.
1t will be preserved in the worlds fine
art. There will be other Belnis. to
sketch the Modonna, and other CHR
landaajos TO present the baptism of
Christ, and other Bronzinof TO show
Christ visiting the spirits in prison, and
other Giottos To appal the vision with
the crucifiX. II will be preserved in the
worlds literature. There will be other
Alexander Popcs To write The Mes
siah," and other DIR. Youngs to cele-
TO sing His love. 1t will be preserved
in the worlds grand and elaborate
architecture. and Professionalism shall
yet have its st. Marks and its ST. Peters
1t shall be preserved in the worlds lit
erature. for there will be other Paleys
to write THE Evidences of Chris
tianity." More than all, IL will be en-
balmed in the hearts of all the good of
earth and all the great ones of Heaven.
Shall the emancipated bondman ever for
get who set him free? Shall the blind |
man ever, forget the divine physician
who gave him sight? Shall the lost and |
wandering ever forget who brought |
them home? Why. TO make the world |
forget that name would be 10 burn up |
all the Bibles and burn down all the |
and then in spite of universal |
arson, go through the gate of Heaven |
and put the torch to all the temples and |
and palaces until in the awful |
all Heaven went down,
and the people come out 10 look upon |
the charrcd 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 inter
woven into the flying banners of flame,
and the redeemed of Heaven would say:
Let tl& temples and the palaces burn;
let them burn; we have Jesus left"
Blessed be His glorious name forever!
The name which is above every name"
My friends, have you made up your
mind by what name you will accost
Christ when you see him in Heaven?
Now, that is practical question.
For you will see him, child of God, just
rs certainly a you sit there and stand
here. BY what name have you made
up your mind 10 call Christ when you
first meet him in Heaven? win you
,all Him Amounted One" or Messiah,
" will you take some one of the SYM
Dolic terms which you read in your
Bible on earth-terms by which Christ
was designated?
Some day, perhaps, you will be wan
lering among the gardens of God on
high, the place abloom with eternal
pringtimc, infinite luxury of lily and
ose and amaranth, and perhaps you
ay: "My Lord, Thou art the Rose OF
sharon and the Lily of the Valley"
some time there will re new soul
ONE into Heaven To take its place in
he armament and shine as the stars,
orever and ever, and the luster Of use
III life will shine forth tremulous and
and you will look up into
he face of Christ and say, my Lord,
thou art brighter Star, the Morning
tar, the Star OF Jacob, the Star of the
sedeemcr." Some day you will be walk
