fle step OF the watchers. and his soul
trembled. He thought to himself: Now
there is OF " thin wall between me and
departing spirit. How If Ellison should
know how | feel? How if Ellison should
find out how my heart fiutters? What
if Ellison knew my skepticism gave
way?" He slept not.
In the morning. coming down, he said
to the hotel keeper. ''How is the sick
mani" oh" said the hotel keeper, The
is dead poer fellow. The doctors tcld
us he could not last through the night"
We'll" SAID the younis man, what was
the sick ones na!ne-where is he FROM?
Well said the hotel keeper, she is
from Providence college" Providence
college! What is his name" ELLISON.
Ellison" Oh, how the young man was
stunned! 1t was his old college mate
dead without am hope.
1t was many hours before the young
man could leave that hotel He got ON
his horse and started homeward. and all
the way he heard something saying to
him: Dead! Lost! Dead Lostr He
came to ITO sat sfaction until he entered
the Christ ian life, until he entered the
Christian ministry, until he became one
OF the most eminent missionaries of the
cross, the gre. test Baptist missionary
the world mas ever seen since the days Of
Paul-nO ;upe; Tor to Adoniram Judson.
Mighty on ea.th, mighty in heaven
Adoniram Judson. Which do you like
the best, j udson's skepticisG or ,Judson's
Christian life, Judson's suffering for
Christ's sake, ,Judson's almost martyr
dom? Oh, you 1g man, take your choice
between these TWO kinds OF lives. Your
own heart tel 5 You this morning the
Christian life IS more admirable, more
peaceful, more comfortable and more
beautiful
IN GOOD COMPANY.
Oh, if religion 1oes so much for man
on earth. what will it do for him in
heaven? That is the thought that comes
to me now. If d. soldier can afford to
shout ''Huzzal' W aen he goes into bat
tie, how much more jubilantly he can
afford to shout @'Huzzar' when he has
gained the victory. Il religion is SO good
Al thing TO have hero, how bright .. thing
it will be III heaven, want to see that
Young man when the gloves Of heaven
have robed and crowned him. waiI
to hear him sing when all huskn ass Of
earthly colds is gone and he rises up
with the great doxology.
I want to know what s6andar he win
carry when marching under arches of
pearl in the army of banners | want
TO know whm. comp any he will keep in
the land wbere they are all kings and
queens fo1eve:. and ever. If | hive in
duced one eE yon this morning to begin
q better life, then 1 want to know It. /

you in friendship. | MAJ at hear frtm
your ov12 bps the story Vi temptation
and sorrow, but will clasp hands with
you VIII An the sea is pass, ii and The gates
are en-; cred.
That might WOO you to q better life,
and tir1 | might show yen the glories
with which God clothes his dear chill
dren in heaven. wish could this morn
ing swing back one of the l. gates that
there might dash upon yolr ear one
shout of the triumph; that there might
flame upon your eyes one blaze Of the
splent!or. Ga, when l speak of that good
land, you Ilvoluntarily think OF some
ore there that you lcved-fsther, moth
er, brother, sister or dear little child gar
nered ALREADY.
You want to know what they are do
ing this morning. will tel you what
they are doing. Singingi Y GU want 10
know what they wear. Twill tell you
what they wear. Co1onets of triumph.
You wonder why oft they look to iie
gate Of the temple and watcii and wait.
l will tell why they watch and wait
ard look 10 the gate of the pie. For
your coniDgl l she ut upward the news
today, for l am sure some OF you VIII re-
pent and start for heaven: 'sOh. We
bright ones before, the throne, your
earthly friends are oming! Angels pois-
ing midair. cry up t ne name, Gate.ieeDer
of heaven, send forward The tidings!
Waterman ON the / attlemenss celestial,

A LOST THRONE.
"Oh,' you say, 's.eligion I am going
to have. 1t is only question Of time"
My brother, l am afraid that you
may lose heaven the way r.c uis Phi
hppe lost his emp re. The Pa sian mob
came around the Tuileries. til, national
guard stood in defense of the palace.
and the comma nder said to L, mis- Phi
lippe: Shall J fire now? Shall / order
the troops to fire? With one vtnley we
can clear the place" No" said Louis
Philippe, mot yet" A few lninutes
passed on, and then Louis Philip, Ne, see
ing the case was hopeless, said to the
general, "N',w is the time to fire.
No" said the general. ..it is too late
now. Don't you see that the soldiers
are exchanging arms with the citi yens?
1t is too late"
Down went the throne of Louis Phi
lippe. Away from the es nth went the
house of Orleans, and all because the
king said. Not yet, not yet.s May God |
forbid that any of you should adjourn
this great subject of relig on and should
postpone assailing yoursp ritual foes I'M
til 1t is toe late, too late you losing a
throne in heaven the way that Louis
Philippe lost throne on earth.
