Moons Of the week this is the best
afternoon. We are at the very acme
Of history. 1t topk all the ages to
make this era. | pitch my tent to-
ward the sunrise. The nj Ihtiest
agencies for making men better are
now ON foot. The most popular in
stitution in the world TO day is the
church. The most popular book in
the world to-day is the Bible. The
most popular name on cart h to. day
is Jesus. Ten thousand men would
tile for him when one would die
for anybody else. The gospel of
Christ to-day is making mightier
strides than il has in all times Of
past history. The kingdoms Of this
world are becoming the kingdoms
Of Christ. This religion sometimes
under the title Of the gospel and
sometimes under other names is
going from conquest to conquest.
In London / received Telegram
from Mr.. Gladstone saying, Come
to Hawarden." went there and
was going through the park with
Mr.. Gladstone. | was running more
than walking, for though Mr.. Glad.
stoue had celebrated the day before
his 18th birthday he was as fleet as
deer, 40 that instead of a
walk We were ON a run. While
We were going up and down the
park Of Hawarden they pronounce
il Harden over Their. Mr.. Gladstone
said To mo, Don't you think some
peuple have wrong religion in
their heads aud a right religion in
their hearts," lie said, II have no
doubt Of it," and he gave me au
illusi ration from u country (Africa)
where We are going now. He. spoke
about recent war there and he
said: after this war was over Lord
Napier and I were walking along
this path, aud he told ms there had
been a soldier who had his leg
broken in the war. There was dill.
Guilty in moving him but they
decided they would bring him along
anyway. Lord Napier offered a
woman at a town they reached ten
times the money she would have got
ordinarily il she would take care Of
the cripple aud nurse him. She SAID,
No, ] will not take care Of this mau
for this money, but il you will leave
him here ] will take care Of him for
the love Of Cod" Mr.. Gladstone
said, Don't you think that was rcli.
gioUi" And ! said, "Ies. that is
good enough religion for mo-" This
old book sets forth a theory by
which the whole world is to be evan.

the force Of kindness none Of us can

asked To express the entire word Of
God IN one word il | were asked to
put the whole system OF Christian.
ily in one word ! do not know
what word you would select, but |
would select TIA. word "merry."
will tell you what the word mercy
means. When u man goes wrong Il
Is out with him from the house Of
God, out with him from respectable
society. That is the mercy of the
world. But the mercy Of God you
can always tell, because il tells u
man who has gone astray to come
back. II a man goes only n few
miles away God calls him To come
back. When he goes ten thousand
miles away God thunders, Come
back" The worlds mercy To woman
is still worse. When woman eos
astray she Is east out. everybody is
done with her. How different was
the conduct of Jesus when they
brought n woman To him To con
