aromatic with all OuOIb. IL u dCCOi Ndht
with all harmonies. Sometimes, when
look Mt that name of Jesus Christ. 1t
seems as il the letters were made OF
tears, and then they seem to be gleain-
ing crowns. Sometimes that name
seems to be twisted out of the straw on
which he lay, and then it seems to be
built out of the thrones on which his
peoule are to reign. Sometimes sound
that word Jesus, and hear in it the sob
of Gethsemane and the groan of Calvary,
and then speak his name and 1t Is all
a-ripple with gladness and airing with
hosanna Glorious namel
Take all the glories of bookbirdery
and put them around the page on which
that name is printed. On ChriFmas
morning wreathe it on the wall. Let 1t
drip from harp's string and let it thun-
der out in organs diapason Sound It
often, sound it well, until every star
shall seem to shine it, and every Tower
shall seem to breathe it, and mountain
and sea and day and night and earth
and heaven acclaim in full chant,
BLESSED be his glorious name forever"
.'The name which is above every name"
1T THRILLS IN SONG.
Have you ever heard in Methodist
church, during time of revival, score
of souls come to the altar and cry out
for mercy under the power of just two
lines of glorious old John Wesley
Jesus. the name high over all,
In heaven or earth or sky.
To the repenting soul, to the exhausted
invalid, to the Sunday school girl, 10 the
snow white octogenarian, it is beautiful
The aged man comes in from long
walk, and he tremulously opens the door
of his home, and he hangs his hat on the
old nail, and he puts his cane in the
usual place, and he lies on his couch,
and he says to his children and his
grandchildren, "My dears, ! am going
away from YOU" And they say, why,
where are you going, grandfather
oh" he says, ii am going to JesusP
and so the old man faints away into
heaven.
And the little child comes in from
play and she filings herself into your
lap. and she says, Mamma, I'm so sick;
I'm so very sick;" and you put her to
bed and the fever is worse and worse,
and some midnight while you are shak-
ing up the pillow and giving the medi-
cine she looks up in your face and says,
Mamma, I'm going away from you. "
You say, why, where are you going,
my darlingG' And she says, 81 am go
ing to Jesus" And the red cheek that
you take to be the mark of the fever
turns out to be only the carnation bloom
of heaven.
Oh, was it not beautiful when little
child heard that her playmate was dy-
ing, and she went to the house, and she
clambered upon the bed of her dying
playmate, and she said to the dying
playmate, where are you going tor
and the dying girl said, I'm going to
Jesus" Then said the little girl that
was we'll, as she bent over to give the
parting kiss to her dying playmate,
"Well, then, if you are going to Jesus,
give my love to him." 1t is beautiful
name, whether on the lips of childhood
or on the lips of the old man. When my
father was dying the village minister
said to him, quoting over his pillow this
passage, This is faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sin
ners," and there he stopped. Then my
father finished the quotation by saying
"of whom | am chief"
But remark again, in regard to this
name of Christ, that it is mighty name
Rothschild is a name mighty in the com
mercial world, Silliman is name
mighty in the scientific world, Irving il
name mighty in the literary world
Washington is name mighty in the po
litical world, Wellington is name
mighty in the military world; but where
in all the earth is name so potent tC
lift and thrill and arouse and rally anC
bless as the name Jesus? Why, tn,
sound of that one name unhorsed Sau
and threw Newton on his face on ship
deck; and that one name today, while
speak, holds hundred million souls un
der omnipotent spell. That name il
England today means more than Vic
toria. In Germany that name toda!
means more than Emperor William
Oh, mighty name
IT ACTS LIKE TALIsMAN.
