gates Of heaven. Do You know how they
mark the hours in heaven? They have
no clocks, as they have no candles, but
a great pendulum of halleluiah swinging
across heaven from eternity to eternity.
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God,
But children of the heavenly king
Should speak their joys abroad.
THE DISCOURSE.
Again / remark that sanctuary help
ought to come from the sermon. OF a
thousand people in this or any other
audience, how many want sympathetic
helps Do You guess hundred9 Do you
guess 500? You have guessed wrong. l
will tell you just the proportion. Out
of thousand people in this audience
there are just 1000 who need sympa-
thetic help. These young people want
it just as much as the old. The old peo-
pie sometimes seem to think they have
monopoly of the rheumatism, and the
neuralgias, and the headaches, and the
physical disorders of the world. But /
tell you there are no worse heartaches
than are felt by some of these young
people.

NECESSITY FOR PRAYER.
Again 1 remark that sanctuary help
ought TO come through the prayers OF all
the people. The door OF the eternal
storehouse Is hung on one mnge--a gold
whole audience lay hold of that door, it
must come open. There are here many
people spending their first Sabbath after
some great bereavement. What will
your prayer do for them2 How will il
help the tomb in that mans heart? Here
are people who have not been in church
before for 10 years. What will your pray.
er do for them by rolling over their soul
holy memories?
Here are people in crises ofawful temp
tation. They are ON the verge of despair
or wild laundering or theft or suicide
What will your prayer do for them this
morning in the way of giving then
strength to resist? Will you be chiefly
anxious about the fit of the glove thai
you put to your forehead while yor
prayed? VIII you be chiefly critical o.
the rhetoric Of the pastors petitiunf No
No. A thousand people will feel "Tha
prayer is for me, and at every step of thu
prayer chains ought ia drop off, and tenn
Piles of sin ought to crush into dust, ant
jubilees of deliverance ought to brandisl
their trumpets In most of our churches
we have three prayers-the opening
prayer, what is called the "long prayer,
and the closing prayer.
There are many people who spend tn
first prayer in arranging their appare
after entrance, and spend the secons
