ONE OF HIS METAPHORS.

ONE OF HIS METAPHORS.
Thes- men have awful responsibilities,
and sometimes, through the reckicssness
of an engineer, or the unfaithfGlness of
switchInan, it has brought TO mind the
faithfuncss of nearly all the rest OF them.
Some men do not have recognition OF their
services They have small va ges, and much
complaint | very often ride upon loco
motives, and ! very often ask the qges-
tion, as we shoot around some curve, or
under some ledge Of rocks. How much
wages do you get?" Aud l am always
surprised 10 ind how little for such vast
responsibility
Do you suppose God is not going
to recognize the fidelity? Thomas Scott,
the president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. going up at death to receive from
God his destiny. was no better known In
that hour than was know WI last night the
bra keInan who. on the Erie Railroad, was
iamined to death amid the car couplings.

REWARD OF THE FAITHFUL
Fret not. We aged ones Just tarry By
the stuff and and wait for your share OF the
spcilS. Ionder they are coming. / hear
the bleating OF the fat lambs and I see the
Jewels CLINT In the sun. IL makes me
laugh TO think how you viii be surprised
when they throw chain of gold over
YOUR neck and tell you to go in and dine with
the king. see you backing because you
feel unworthy.
THE shining ones come up on the one
side. and the shining ones come up on the
other side, and they push you on and they
push you up, and they say, Here Is an
shining ones viii rush out 10 ward you and
say, Yes, that man saved my soui.' or
they viii rush out and say, oh, yes, she
was with me in the last sickness. And
then the cry will 60 round the circle, Come
in, come in, come in, come up; we saw
you away down there, old and sick and
decrcpit and djscouraS Sed beca you could

''Thcrc is high consolation, also, in this
for aged ministers I see some OF them
here today. They sit In pews in our
churches. They used to stand in pUlpits,
Their hair is white with the blossoms Of
the tSce Of Life. Their names marked on
the roii of the General Assembly, or OF the
consolation. Emeritus They sometimes
hear text announced which brings to mind
sermon they preached fifty years agoon
the same subject
They preached more gospel on S400

is in church. and near by in another pew
there Is husband and wife and a row
Of children. Aud after the benedctiUn the

the heroes uf 1857. By the long grave
trench that cut through half a century, they
have stood sounding the resurrection. They
have been in more Balaklavds and have
taken more SehaStupOiS than you ever heard
Of Sametimes they get n little fretful
because they cannot be at the front. They
hear the sound OF the battle and the old
war horse champs his bit. But the 60 900
ministers OF religion. this day standing In
the brunt of the fray, shall have no more
reward than those retired veterans. Ny

THOSE WHO sTooD GUARD.
Cheer up. men and women of unappre-
ciated services. You viii get your reward,
if not here, hereafter. When Cha rles
Wesley comes up tO judgment, aud the
thousands of souls which are waited
into glory through his songs shall be emu
merated, he viii take mis- throne. Then
John Wesley will come up to Judgment.
and after his name has been mentioned in
connectinn with the salvation of the mil
lions of souls brought to God through the
Methodism which he founded, he viii lake
his throne. But between the twu thrones
of Charles Wesley and John Wesley, there
will be throne higher than either, on
which VIII sit SUSaDnah Wesley, who with
