business death warrant; that new tariff
may change !he current OF trade; that a
man may be rich today and POOR tomor-
row. And God, by all these misfor-
tunes, is trying TO loosen our yrip. hut
still we hold on. God smites us with a
stall, but we hold on. Aud ho strikes
us with rod, but we hold on. Aud he
sends over us The IRON wheel of misfor-
tune, but we hold on.
There ire men who keep their grip on
Chs world until The last moment who
suggest TO me the condition and conduct
OF The poor Indian in the boat in the
Niagara rapids coming on toward the
tail. Seeing that he could not escape. a
moment OF two before he got to the
verge OF the plunge he lifted wine bot
tie anddrank it Off and then tossed the
bottle mao the air. So there are men
VINO clutch the world, and they 60 down
through the rapids of temptation and
sin, and Trey hold on to the velv last
moment Of life, drinking to their cLern II
da nnation as they go over and 90 down.
Oh, let 90! Let 60! The hest for.
tunes &c in heaven There are no alb .
scondlng cashiers from that bank, no
itilin% IN promises TO pay. Set your al-
lectlons on things above. not on thlurs
on tho earth. Let 90! Depend upon It
tha! God will keep upon you the staff,
or The rod, Or the IRON wheel until y0u
do let 90.
Another thing my text teaches us is
lhaL Christian sorrow is going to have q
sure terminus. My text SAYS, "Bread
corn ls hrulsc1 because he will not be
ever thrashing it," Blessed be God Tor
that! Pound away, o ilall! Turn on,
y wheel! YOm work will soon be done.
Nlle Will not be ever thrashing it.n
Now, the Christian has almost ae much
use IN the organ Ior the stop tremulanL
a5 he has for the trumpet. But after
awhile he will put the last drgc into the
p0rtlollo Forever. SO much of us as is
wheat VIII be separated from 80 much
as II chan, and there will be no more
