But L must have a word with those who
during the present commercial calamitles

years Of age, II Is only sharp discipline gen.
orally by which later he comes to larger sue
cess. 1t is all folly for man to sit down in
midlife discouraged. The marshals of

said, I'VE have lost the battle and we
are being cut to pieces" Napoleon took
his watch from his pocket and said 1T

Though the meridian of life has passed
with you and you have been routed in many
a conflict, give not up in discouraGement.
There are victories yet for you to gain. But
sometimes monetary disaster comes to a
man when there is something in his age or
something in his health or something in his
surroundings which make him know well
that he will never get up again
In 1857 II was estimated that for many
years previous 10 that time annually thers
had been so, 900 failures In the United States.
Many of those persons never recovered from
the misfortune. But let me give word OF
comfort In passing. The sheriff may sell You
out of many things, but there are some
things OF which he cannot sell you out. He
cannot sell out your health. He cannot sell
out your family. He cannot sell out your
Bible. He cannot sell out your God. He
cannot sell out your heaven You have more
than you have lost.
Sons and daughters Of God, children of NJ
eternal and all loving Father, mourn not
whom your property goes. The world Is
yours, and life is yours, and death is yours,
and Immortality is yours, and thrones OF in
perial grandeur are yours, and rivers Of
gladness are yours, and shining mansions
are yours, and God is yours. The eternal
God has sworn it. and every time you doubt
1t you charge the King OF heaven end earth
with perjury. Instead of complaining how
hard you have 1t, go home, take up yOu
Bible full OF promises, get down ON youl
knees before God and thank Him for what
you have instead of spending so much time
| IN complaining about what you have not.
Some OF you remember the shipwreck o.
| the Central America. This noble steamer
had, think, about 500 passengers aboard.
Suddenly the storm came, and the surYes
trampled the decks and swung into the
matches, and there went up a hundred voiced
death shrek. The foam on the jaw of the
wave the pitching OF the steamer as though
| il were leaptng a mountain 4; the dismal flare
of the signal rockets the long cough OF the
| steam pipes the hiss OF the extinguished
| furnaces the walking OF God on the wave
| The steamer went not down without s;ruG-
| gle.
! As the passengers stationed themselves in
rows to bale out the vessel, bark to the
! thump OF the buckets as men unused to toll,
| with blistered hands and strained muscle,
/ tug for their lives. There is sail seen
| against the sky. The flash of the distress
| gun is sounded Its voice is heard not. fa-
|
| few passengers escaped, but the steamer
| gave one great lurch and WAS gone So
| there are some men vino sail on prOsperOusly
| in life. Ais well. oils we'll But at last
| some financial disaster comes-a euroclylon.
| Down they go the bottom of this CONNER
| cial sea strewn with shattered hulks.
But because your property goes do not
| let your soul go. Though all else perish,
| save that, fo- l have to tell you OF a more
| stupendous shipwreck than that which L
| have lust mentioned. God launched this
| world 5000 years ago. 1t has been going on
| under freight Of mountains and immortals,
| but one day It will stasger at the cry OF fire.
| The timbers OF rock will burn, the mountains
flame like masts and the clouds like sails in
! the Judgment hurricane. Then God shall
| take the passengers of the deck, and from
| the berths those who have long been asleep
| in Jesus and he will set them far beyond
| the reach OF storm and peril.
But how many shall go down2 That will
| never be known until 1t shall be announced
| one day In heaven-the shipwreck Of a world
| oh, my dear hearers, whatever you lose.
| though your houses go, though your lands
| 20. though all your earthly possessions per-
| ish, may Almighty God. through the blood oi
the everlasting covenant. save all your souls.
