Skip twenty yeart, aud come back to tb
neighborhood whef4e that family used
live. You meet or the street or on tb
road an old inhabitant Of that neighbol
hood, and you say Can you tell me an,
thing about the Rstersons who used to liv
here3" Yes, y says he old inhabitant; "
remember them very well. The fathe
and mother have been dead for years.
/ well, how about the children? Wha
has become Of themp The old inhabitan
replies: They turned out badly. Yol
know the old man was about half an in
fidel and the boys were all infidels. TIL,
oldest son married, but got into drinkir..
habits, and in few years his wife was moi
able TO live with him any longer and hi.
children were taken by relatives, and h,
died Of delirium tremens on Blackwells
island. His other son forged the name ol
his employer and fed to Canada.

ously and has not been heard Of. There

some thought it was her, but cannot say. "

possible The family is a complete wreck. 4"
Ny hearers that * just what might have
been expected. All this Is only the Echo,
the dismal Echo. the awful Echo, the
dreadful Echo Of parental Obliquity and
unfaithfulneSs. The old folks heaped upa
mountain Of wrong influences, and this is
only what my text calls THE sounding of
the mountains"
Indeed our entire behavior in this
world will have resound. While oppor.
tunities fly in straight line and lust
touch us once and are gone never to return,
the wrongs we practice upon others fly in
circle, and they come back to the place
from which they started. Doctor GuillO

5trument of death named after him, but !

THE DAY OF ALL DAYS.

'hings in the world that need to be fixed
Up and explained. If God had not ap

All the footsteps in that prison corridor
the Christian reformer walks to the
lcket OF the incarcerated, yea all the
'hispers Of coincidence in the ear of that
Dor soul dying in that garret, yea all the
