But | remark again, taking step for

Christ is an enduring name. You ge

pull the weeds back from the name tina
Las nearly faded from the tombstone
and you wish that Walter SCOTS "OlC
Mortality" would come along and re
chisel it, SO that you might really inc
ont what the name is. Why that wa'
the name Of the greatest man in all The
town, in all the country, in all the
state, now almost faded from the tomb
stone.
And SO the greatest names Of this
world either have persisted, or are perish
ing. Gregory vi, Sancho of Spain
Conrad Of Germany, Richard of Eng
land, Catherine of Russia. Those names
We're once mighty, and they made the
earth tremble. Who cares for them
now? None so poor as to do them rev
erence. But the name of Christ is ell
during forever. 1t will be preserved in
the worlds fine art. There will be other
Bellinis to sketch the Madonna. and
other Ghirlandaajos to present the bap-
tism of Christ, and other Bronzinos to
show Christ visiting the spirits in prison,
and other Giottos to appal the vision
with the Crucitixion. 1t will be pre-
served in the worlds literature
There will be other Alexander Popes
to write the Messiah" and other Dr.
| Youngs to celebrate his triumph, and
other Cowpers to sing his love- 1t will
be preserved in the worlds grand and
elaborate architecture, and Protestant
ism shall yet have its st. Marks and
St. Peters. 1t shall be preserved in
the worlds literature, for there will be
other Paleys to write the Evidences of
Christianity" More than all, it will be
embalmed in the hearts of all the good
of earth and all the great ones of heav-
en-. Shall the emancipated bondman
ever forget who set him free? Shall the
blind man ever forget the divine phvsi-
clan 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 to burn upall the Bibles
and burn down all the churches. and
then, in the spirit of universal arson, go
through the gate of heaven and put
the torch to all the temples and man
sions and palaces until in the awful CON
fagration 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-
deemed of heaven would say, "Let the
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 aocest
Christ when you see him in heaven?
Now that is a practical question. For
you will see him, child Of God, just as
certainly as you sit there and stand
here. By what name have you made up
your mind to call Christ when you first
meet him in heaven. Will you call him
"Anointed One" or "Messiah?" or will
you take some one of the symbolic terms
which you read in your Bible on earth
terms by which Christ was designated?
THE ROSE OF SHARON.
Some day perhaps you will be wander |
ing among the gardens of God on high,
the place abloorl with eternal spring |
time. infinite luxury Of lily and rose and |
and perhaps you will look up
into the face Of Christ and say, my |
Lord, thou art the Rose Of Sharon and |
the Lily of the Valley" Sometime there
will be a new soul come into heaven to
take its place in the frmament and |
shine as the stars forever and ever and
the luster of a useful life will shine
forth tremulous and beautiful, and YOU
will look up into the face of Christ and
say, MY Lord, thou art brighter star,
the Morning Star, the Star of Jacob, the
Star of the Redeemer.'
Some day you will be walking among
the fountains that toss in the sunlight
falling in crash of pearl and amethyst
into golden and crystalline urn, and
up the round banked river to
the place where the water first tinkles
its silver on the rock, and from chalices
of love you will be drinking to honor
and everlasting joy, and you will look
up into the face of Christ and say, "My
Lord, my Lord, thou art the Fountain
of Living Water" Some day you will
be wandering among the lambs and
sheep of heaven feeding by the rock, re-
joicing in the care of him who brought
you out of the wilderness world into the
and you will look up into his
face and say. MY Lord, my Lord, thou
art the Shepherd of the Everlasting
