tlmeI VIII you stand Still and let tht
avalanche tumble over you? Oh, tina
you would go away into tho warm hear
of Gods mercyl The southern grove
redolent with magnolia ana cactus
never waited for northern fiocks as Goo
has waited for You, saying: u have
loved thee with ali everlasting love
Come unto me, all ye who arc weary
and heavy laden. and ! will give yot
rest. "
Another frost is bidding you away.
1t is the frost Of sorrow. Were do yor
live now? "Oh, you say, II have
moved. " Why did you move? You say,
~ don't want as large house now as
formerly" Why do yor not want as
large house? You say, Ny family is
not so large" Where have they gone to!
Eternity Your mind goes back through
that last sickness, and through the o.
most supernatural effort TO keep life,
and through those prayers that seemed
unaSailine, and through that kiss which
received no response because the lips
were lifeless, and / hear the bells toll
ing, and | hear tho hearts breaking.
While l speak l hear them break y
heart Another heartl Alone, alone,
alone! This world. which in your girl
hood and boyhood was sunshine, is cold
now, and, OH weary dove, you hy
around this world rs though you would
like to stay, when the wind, and the
frost, and the biackening clouds would
bid you away into the heart OF al all
comforting God.
No Comfort Ia yvoridiincss.
Oh. have noticed again and again
what q botch this world makes of it
when it tries to comfort soul in trou-
blel 1t says Don't cryl' How can we
help crying when the hearts treasures
are scattered, and father is gone, and
mother is gone, and companions are
gone, and the child is gone, and every
thing seems gone? IL is no oo,nfort to
tell man not to CRY. The world comes
up and says, ooh, it is only the body
of your loved one that you have put III
tho groundr' But thero is no comfort
in that. That body is precious Shall
we never put our hand in that hand
again, and shall we never see that sweet
face again? Away with yop- heartless-
ness, o world But come, Jesus, end
tell us that when the tears fall they fall
into Gods bottle; that the dear bodies
of our loved ones shall rise radiant in
the resurrection, and all the breakings
down here shall be fittings up there,
and "they shall hunger no moro. neither
thirst any more, neither shall the sun
light on them nor any heat. for the
Lamb which is in the midst Of the
throne shall lead them to living foun-
tains Of water, and God shall wipe ali
tears from their eyes. -
Take All Your Family.
You may have noticed that when tie
ohaf1inch, or the stork Or the crane
starts on its migration it calls all those
of its kind to come too. The tree tops are
full of chirp and whistle and carol, and
the long roll call: The bird docs not
start off alone. Itgathers all of its kind.
Oh, that you might be as wise in this
migration to heaven, and that Eon
naight fake Samuel by the hand, and
Abraham might take Isaac, and Hagar
might take Ishmael. l ask you if those
who sat at your breakfast table this
morning will sit with you in heaven.
ask you what influences You are trying
to bring upon them, what example you
are setting them. Are you calling them
to go with you? Aye, aye, have you
started yourself!
Start for heaven and take your chill
dren with you Come, thou and ali thy
house, into the ark. Tell your little ones
that there are realms of balm and sweet
ness for all those who fly in tho right
direction. Swifter than eagles stroke
put out for heaven. Like the crane, or
the stcrk, stop not night nor day until
you find the right place for stopping
Seated today in Christian service, will
you be seated in the same glorious serv-
ice when the heavens have passed away
with q great noise, and the elements
have melted with fervent heat, and tho
redeemed arc gathered around tho
throne of Jesus?
The Saviour calls
Yc wanderers, come.
Oh, ye bcniehted souls,
Why longer .oaaf
The Spirit calls today
Yield to his power.
Oh, grieve him not away.
'Tis mcrcy's hour.
