Go homo this day and ask the blessing
ON your MONDAY meal Tonight set up
tho family altar DO not wait until YOU
become Christian yourself This day
unite Christ Co your household for the
Bible distinctly says that God will pour
out his fury upon the families that call
not upon his name Open the Bible and
read a chapter; that will make you strong
Knccl down and offer the first prayer in
your household II may be a broken petit
ton It may be only God be merciful to
me- a sinner, but God win stoop, and
spirits will listen, and angels will chant,
Behold, ne praysl'
DO not retire from this house this morn
ing until you have resolved upon this mat
ter You viii be gone ! viii be gone,
many years will pass, and perhaps your
younger children may forget almost every
thing about you, but 40 years from now,
in some Sabbath twilight, your daughter
will be sitting with the family Bible on
her lap reading to her children, when she
will stop, ana peculiar solemnity will
come TO her face, and tear will start, and
the children will say, Mother, what
makes you cryi' and she will say, Moth
ing, only was thinking that this is the
very Bible out of which my father and
mother used to read at morning and even
ing prayer
All other things about you they may
forget, but train them up for God and
/ heaven. They will not forget that
When queen died, her three sons
I brought an offering to the grave. One son
! brought gold, another brought silver, but
/ the third son came and stood over the grave
and opened one Of his veins and let the
/ blood drop upon his mothers tomb, and all
who saw it said it was the greatest demon
stration of affection. My friends, what is
the grandest gift we can bring to the sep
ulchers of q Christian ancestry 1t is n
life all consccratcd to the God who made
us and the Christ who redeemed us. can
not but believe that there are hundreds Of
parents in this house who have resolved to
do their whole duty, and that at this mo
ment they are passing into "A better life,
and having seen the grace of the gospel in
this place today You ARE now fully ready to
return to your own house and show what
great things God has done unto you.
Thong parents may in covenant be
And have their heaven in view,
They are not happy till they see
Their children happy too.
May the Lord God Of Abraham and Isaac
and Jacob, the God of our fathers, be our
God and the God Of our children forever!
