worlds sufferingl Some know not
which way to turn. But not so the
Christian man. He looks up toward
the heavens. He sees q bright appear
ance in the heavens. Can Il be only a
flashing meteor? Can IL be only q fall
ing star? Can lt be only a deluslon?
Nay, nay. The longer he looks, the
more distinct it becomes, until, after o
while. he cries out: "A star a morn
ing star! a star Of comfort! a star OF
gracel a star OF peace! the Star OF the
Redeemer.' Peace for all trouble.
Balm fer all wounds. Life for all
dead. Now Jesus, the great-heart-
healer, comes into our home. Peace!
Peace that passeth all understanding.
We look up through our tears. We are
cOmf0rtei! 1t is the morning star OF
tho Redeemer. "WhO broke of that
hower?n said one servant in the
garden 10 another. "WhO broke OF
that fower?" and the other servant
said, THE master" Nothing more was
said, for n the master had not q right
10 break of a flower to wear over his
heart or 10 set in the vase In the man
sion, who has q right to touch the
flower? And when Christ comes down
into our garden 10 gather lilies, shall
we fight him back? Shall we talk as
though he had no right to come? II
anyone in all the universe has a right
TO
THAT WHICH Is BEAUTIFUL
in our homes, thea our Master has, and
he will take It, and he will bear IL over
his heart, or he will set it in the vase OF
the palace eternal. The Lord gave,
aud the Lord hath taken away; blessed
be the name OF the Lord" Peace,
troubled soul! l put the balm on your
wounded heart tonight. The morning
star, the morning star Of the Redeemer.
Again, Christ heralds the dawn or
mjllennial glory. II is night In emma,
night in India, night in Siberia, night
for the vast majority or the WORLDS
population. But it seems to me there
are some intimatiOns Of the morning.
an Spain is 70 be brought under the
influence Of the Gospel. What is that
light / see breaking over the top OF the
Pyrennees? The, morning. Yea, all
Italy shall receive the Gospel. She
shall have her schools, and her col
leges, and her churches; her vast pop
ulation shall surrender themselves 10
Christ. WHAT'S that light see break
ing over the top Of the Alps? The morn
ing. All India shall come TO God. Her
idols shall be cast down. Her Jugger-
nauts shall be broken. Her temples OF
fniQuity shall be demolished. What Is
that light / see breaking over the top
OF the Himalayas? The morning. The
empurDled clouds shall gid the path OF
the c@onouering day. The Hottentot

LOOK AT THE DAWN;
the ChinameA will come up on the gran
ite cliffs, the Norwegian will get up on
the rocks, and all the beach OF heaven
will be crowded with celestial lnhaol-
tants come out TO see the sun rise over
the ocean OF the worlds agony. Ihey
shall come from the East, and from the
West. from the North, and from the
South. and sit down in the Kingdom OF
God. These sWeltered under tropical
suns. These shivered under icelandic
temperature. These plucked the vine
wards in Italy. These packed the tea
boxes in China. These were aoorigines
lifting I'D their dusky faces in the
dawn. And the wind shall watt 1t, and
every mountain shall become a trans
fguration, and the sea shall become the
walking place Of him who trod the
wave cliffs OF stormy Liberals, and the
song of JOY shall rise toward the neaVen'
and the great sky will become a sound
ing board which shall strike back the
shout Of salvation to the earth until 1t
rebounds again 70 the throne or the
Almighty, and the morning star OF
Christian hope will become the full
sunburst Of millennial glory.
Again, Christ heralds the dawn OF
heaven upon every Christians dying
pillow. suppose that you have no
that the characteristics Of people In
their healthy days are very apt 10 be
their characteristics in their dying
davs. The dying words OF ambitious
NAPOLEON were: Head OF the army.
The dying words of poetic Lord Byron
were: 81 must sleep now" The dying
words of afectionate Lord Nelson we're;
kiss me, Hardy" The dying words
of Voltaire we're, as he saw one whom
he supposed TO be Jesus In the room:
"Crush that wretch" But / have no.
ticed that tue dying words OF Christians
ALWAYS mean peace. Generally the pain
} f. all gone, and there is great Q%uietude
through the room. AS one OF these
brothers told me of his mother in the
last moment: ''She looked up, and said,
pointing 10 some supernatural being
that seemed to be in the room, Look
at that bright form. WY, they have
come for me now"
THE LATTICE Is TURNED.

.,Whv. can this be a dying room? 1t

and Won look out OF the window, and
YOU come back and look at your watch,
and YOU look at the face Of the patient
again. and there is no change, except
that the face is becoming more radiant
more Illuminated. The wav OF death
seems coming UP higher and higher
until it has touched the ankle, then 1t
comes on up until it touches the knee,
and then it comes on up until 1t
reaches the girdle, and then 1t comeson

IS about to be noated away into glory,
and you roll back the patients sleeve,
and you put your finger on the pulse
and it is getting weaker and weaker,
aud the pulse stops, and you hardly
know whether the life has gone or not.
