praises of this One altogether fair. OH
thou flower of eternity, thy breath is
the perfume of Heaven! Oh, blissful
daybreals. let all people clap their
hands in thy radiance! Chorus!
Come, men. and saints. and cherubim,
and seraphim, and arcahangel-all
heights, all depths, all sfnrnensities.
Chorus! Roll Him through the heavens
in chariot of universal acclaim, over
bridges of hosannas, under arches of
coronation, along by the great towers
Ginning with eternal jubilee. Chorus!
s.Unto Him who hath loved us, and
washed us from our sins in HIS own
blood, to Him be glory, world without
end.''

Again, the Holy Spirit is ready. Why
is it that SO many sermons drop dead
that Christian songs do not get their
wing under the people-that so often
PRAYER goes no higher than hunters
s.helloa?r 1t is because there is link
wa ntinr-the work of the Holy Spirit
Unless that spirit give graphing hooks
to a sermon, and lift the prayer, and
watt the song, everything is "a dead
failure. That spirit is willing to
come at our call and lead you
to eternal life; or ready to come with
the same power with which He un-
horsed Saul on the Damascus turnpike,
and broke down Lydia in her fine
store, and lifted the three thousand
from midnight into midnoon at the
Pentecost. With that power the spirit
of God now beats at the gate of your
soul. Have you not noticed what
homely and Insignificant instrumental
ity the spirit of God EMPLOYS for mans
conversion? There was man on a Hud-
sou river boat to whom a tract was Of
fered. With indignation he tori hap and
threw it overheard. But ono Regiment
lodged on his coatsleeve: arits9she saw
on it the werd "eternity;" and he
found no peace until he was prepared
for that great future. Do you know
