- !, :, ~~A"eiAuh OTOW, SAID. ''Of
suSn Is the kingdom of Heaven"
On beautiful name, the name of .Tc-
sus which stands for love, for patience.
Ior self'Sacrifice, for magnanimitv. for
everything that Is good and glorions
ard tender and sympathetic and kind,
IL Is aromatic with all odors. II il ac-
cordant with all harmonics Some.
times, when l look ut that name of Je-
sus Christ, IL seems as IL the letters were
made OF tears, and then they seem TO
DC cleaning crowns. Sometimes that
name seems TO be twisted out of the
straw on which He lay. and then IL
seems to be built out Of tho thrones ON
which His people are 10 reign. Some
times l sound that word Jesus. and I
near IT in the sob of Gcthscmane and
the groan of Calvary. and then l speak
HIS name and it is all a-rippling with
gladness and a-ring with hosanna. Clio
rious name NH. II.
Take all the glorics of bookbindcry
and put them around the page on which
that name is printed. On Christmas
morning wreath it on the wall Let il
drip from harp's string and let IL thun-
der out in organs diapason. Sound il
often, sound IL well, until every star
shall seem To shine il. and every flower
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"
Have you ever heard in a Methodist
church, during 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 exhaust
ed invalid, to the Sunday-school girl. to
the snow-whitc octogcnarian. il is beau
tiful. The aged man comes in from
long walk, and he TREMENDOUSLY opens
the door of his old 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 dcars am
going away from you" And they say:
why, where are you going, grand
father?" OH he says, Il am going to |
Jesus and so the old man faints away |
into Heaven"
And the little child comes in from |
play and she filings herself in 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 shaking
up the pillow and giving the medicine,
she looks up to you and says, Mamma,
I'm going away from you" You say,
why, where are going, my darling?"
And she says, Il am gong to Jesus"
And the red check 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
clambcrcd upon the bed of the dying
playmate, and she said to the dying
playmate: Where are you going to?"
and the dying girl said; I'm goiItg to
Jesus" Then said the little girl that
was well, rs she bent over To give the
parting kiss To her dying playmate:
We'll. then. if you are going to Jesus
give my love to Him" 1t is n beautiful
name, whether on the lips of childhood
Or 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 a faithful saying, and
worthy of all acceptation, that Christ
Jesus came into the world TO save sim
ncrs," and there he stopped. Then my
ather finished the quotation by saying:
OF whom am chief"
But remark again in regard 10 this
name of Christ, that il is a mighty
lame. Rothschild is mighty name in
he commercial world, Stillman is a
lame mighty in the scientific world,
rving is name mighty in the literary
world, Washington is a name mighty in
he political world, Wellington is a
lame mighty in the military world; but f,
where in all the earth Is n name so
,otcnt to lift and thrill and arouse and
ally and bless rs the name Jesus?
Why, the sound of that once endorsed
saul and threw Newton 'on his face on
hips deck; and that one name to-day,
While speak, holds hundred million 5
ouls under omnipotcnt spell. The name l
n England to-day means more than '
'ictoria. In Germany that name to- s
ay means more than Emperor William.
)h, mighty name!
have seen a man bound hand and {
DOT OF the devil, and captive of all evil
abits, ut the sovnd of that name dash
own his shackles and march out forev- I
r free. have seen a man overcome OF
Misfortune and trial, every trouble had
e. but at the sound of that name the
