How few men thorH arn who know how 70
keep the Lords day away from homel
great many who are consistent on the banks
OF the st. Lawrence, or the Alabama, or the
Mississippi are not consistent when they get
so far off rs the East River. l repeat
though it is putting it on a low ground
you cannot financially afford TO break the
Lords day. 1t is only another way of tear
ing up your Government securities and put
ting down the price OF goods and blowingup
your store. l have friends who are all the
tiCa2 slicing of pieces of the Sabbath They
cut little of the Sabbath or that end All
4 little OF the Sabbath of this end. They
DO not keep the twenty-four hours. The
Bible says, "Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy"
have good friends who are quite accus
toned to leaving Albany by the midnight
train on Saturday night and getting home
before church. Now, there may be occasion
when it is right, but generally it is wrong.
How if the train should run off the track into
the North Riverl 1 hope your friends will
not send to me to preach your funeral ser
mon. II would be an awkward thing for me
to stand up by your side and preach, you, a
Christian man, killed on a rail train travel
Ing on Sunday morning. Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" What does
that mean? 1t means twenty-four hours.
A man owes you dollar. You don't want
him to pay you ninety cents. You want the
1Olar. II God demands of US tWenty-four
hours out of the week. He means twenty-four
hours, and not nineteen. Oh. We want to
cecp vigilantly in this country the
american Sabbath and not have trans
planted here the European Sabbath, which
or the most part Is no Sabbath at all. If any
)i you have been in Paris. you know that on
'abbath morning the vast population rush
Iut toward the country with baskets and
bundles and toward night they come back
Jagged out, cross and intoxicated. May God
preserve to us oar glorious, quiet American
Sabbaths.
Oh, strangers, welcome TO the great citvl
Nay you Ind Christ here, and not any physi-
al or moral damage. Men coming from in
and, from distant cities, have hero found
God and found Him in our service. Nav
hat be your case to-day. You thought YOU
were brought to this merely for the purpose
Of sightseeing. Perhaps God brought YOU
% this roaring city for the purpose of work
ing out your eternal salvation. Gro back to
your homes and tell them how You met
Christ here, the loving, patient, pardoning
and sympathetic Christ. Who knows but the
citY which has been tho destruction of so
many may be your eternal redemption?
good many years ago Edward Stanley,
he English commander, with his regiment
took fort. The fort was manned by some
300 Spaniards. Z iwarl Stanley came closs
up to the fort, leading his men, when n Span
ard thrust at him with n spear, inten ling TO
destroy his liie hut Stanley caught hold of
20 Jerk thu spear away from Stanley, lifted
him up into the battlements. No sooner had
Stanley taken his position on the battlements
than he swung his sword. an his whole reg
lment leaped after him, and the fort was
taken. SO 1t may he with you, o stranger
The city influences which have desi :oyed SO
many and dashed them down forever shall
be the means of lifting you up into the tower
Of Gods me- y and strength, your soul more
than conquered through the grace of Him
who has promised an especial beneiiction TO
those who shall treat you well, saving. ~
