must have Leen buried with all the
cathedrals sounding dirge and all
the towers of all the cities tolling the
national grief Who art thou, mighty
one of heaven? ~ lived by choice the
unmarried daughter in IA humble home
that l might take care of my parents
in their old age and | endured with
out complaints all their querulousness
and miuistere1 TO all their wants for
twenty years."
Let us pass on round the circle of
thrones Who art thou, mighty Que of
heaven? Il was for thirty years II
Christian invalid, and suffered all the
while, occasionally writing note of
sympathy for those worse off than l,
and was general confdant of all TN ose
who had trouble, and once in "a while
/ was strong enough to make gar
ment for that poor family in the back
lane" Pass on to another throne.
Who art thou, mighty one of heaven?
81 was the mother who raised a whole
family of children for God and they
are out in the world. Christian mer-
chants, Christian mechanics, Christian
wives, and have had full reward of
all my toll" Let us pass ON in the
circle of thrones. II had n Sabbath
school class, and they were always on
my heart, and they all entered the
kingdom of God, and | am waiting for
their arrival"
But who art thou, the mighty one Of
heaven, on this other throne? I'm
time of bitter persecution | owned a
house in Damascus, house on the
wall. A man who preached Christ
was bounded from street to street, and
hid him from the assassins, and when
| found them breaking in my house
and | could TO longer keep him safely
l advised him to flee for his life, and n
basket was let down over the wall
with the maltreated man in it, and
was one who helped hold the rope. "
| And said: us that ALP" and he an
swered, THAT is all >" And while
was lost in amazement / heard a
strong voice that sounded as though it
might once have been hoarse from
many exposures and triumphant as
though it might have belonged to one
of the martyrs, and it said: Not
many mighty, not many noble are
called, but God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the
things which are mighty, and base
things of the world and things which
are despised hath God chosen, yea,
and things which are not, to bring to
naught things which are, that no flesh
should glory in his presence And
looked TO sec from whence the voice
came, and 10. il was the very one who
had said: Through window in "a
basket was l let down by the wall"
Ilenceforth think of nothing as in
significant A little thing may decide
your all. A Cunarder put out from
England for New York. 1t was well
equipped, but in putting up stove in
the pilot box nail was driven too
near the compass. You know how
that nail would affect the compass
The ships officer, deceived by that
distracted compass, put the ship 200
miles out of her right course, and sud-
denly the man on the lookout cried,
Land, hon' and the ship was halted
within few yards of her demolition
on Nantucket shoals A six-penuy
nail came near wreclsing n Cunarder
Small ropes hold mighty destinies.
A minister seated in Boston at his
table, lacking word puts his hand
behind his head and tits back his chair
to think, and the ceiling falls and
brushes the table and would have
crushed him. A minister in Jamaica
at night by the light of an insect called
the candle-hy is kept from stepping
over a precipice a hundred feet f.
| w. Robertson, the celebrated English
Clergyman, said that he entered the
ministry from train of circumstances
started by the barking of dog. Had
the wind blown one way on a certain
day, the Spanish Inquisition would
have been established in England: but
it blew the other way, and that
dropped the accursed institution with
rs, 600 tons of shipping to the bottom
of the sea, or flung the spiintercd logs
on the rocks.
Nothing unimportant in your life or
mine. Three ciphers placed on the
right side of the figure one make a
thousand, and six ciphers on the right
side of the figure opA. million, and
our nothingness placed on the right
side may be augmentation illimitable.
All the ages of time and eternity af-
fected by the basket let down from q
