our ci:ies has bacOme so corrupt that
/ the only difference between the Repuh-

each is worse than the other. But what
nothing else in the universe eau DO, the
Gospel can and will accomplish. They
I shall come from the west, aud for that
purpose the evaugelistic batteries are
/ Dlanted all along the Pacific coast, as
/ they are planted ali along the Atlantic
coast. All tue Drairies; all the noun
tains; all the valleys; all the cities are
under more or less Gospel influence, and
when we get enough faith and conse-
Grafton for the work, this whole Amer
lean Continent will cry out FOR COO.
They shall come from the west"
The work Is not 50 difficult as many
suppose. You say, There are the for
eigu populations, Yes; bnt many OF
them are HollanderS, aud they were
brought up to love aud worship God,
aud il will take but little to persuade
the Hollauders 10 adopt the religion OF
their forefathers. Then there are
among these foreigners so many Of the
Scotch. They or their ancestors heard
Thomas Chalmers thunder, and Robert
McCheyne pray. Tue breath Of God so
often swept through the heather OF the
Highlands, and the voice OF God has so
often sounded through the IrosSachs,
aud they all know how 10 sing Dundee;
so that they will not have often TO be
invited 70 accept the God OF John hG0X
and Boutwell, bridge.
Thea there are among these foreign
ers so many of the English. They in
herJed the same language as we III
herited-the English In which Shakes
peare dramatzed, and Milton claimed
his cantoS, and Henry Melville Gospel
lied, and Oliver Cromwell prorogued
Parliament, aud Wellington command
ed his eager hosts.
From all nations our foreign popua-
tion have come, aud they are homeslck,
far away from tie place Of their child
aud our glorious religion presented to
them Alright will meet their needs and
an their souls, and kiudie their enthu-
siasm. They shall come from amid the
wheat sheaveS OF Dakota, and from the
ore beds of Wyoming, and from the sill
YER mines of Nevada, and from the
golden guches Of Colorado, aud from
the baaksof the Platte, and the Oregon,
and tue Sacramento, and the Columbia.
They shall come from the west
But what will they do after they
come? Here is something giOrious!y
consolatory that you have never noticed:
They shall come from the east and
the west, and the north aud the south,
and shall sit down. Ga, this is tired
world, The most Of people are kept on
the run sll their lifetime. Business
keeps them on the run. Trouble keeps
them 90 the run. RiValrieS OF life keep
them on the run. They are running
from disaster.
There is that mother who, through
all the years Of infancy and childhood,
was kept running amid sick trundie-
beds, now to shake up the pillow for
THAI Gaxen head, and now 10 give a
drink to those parched lips, aud now to
hush the frightened dream OF little
one, aud when there was one less OF the
children because the great lover Of
children had lifted one out of the group
into the easy breathing of celestial az.
mosDhere, the mother putting all the
more anxious care on those who were
left: so weary of arm, and foot, and
back, and head, so often crying out, 81
am so tired, am so tired" Her work
done, she shall sit down. And that
business man for thirty, forty, fifty
years has kept on the run, not urged oy
selfshnesS, bGt for the purpose Of
achieving livelihood FOR the house
hold
notice that the most OF the styles of
toll require an erect attitude. There
are the thousands OF girls behind cOun-
tiers, many such persons through the
inhumanity OF employers compelled TO
stand, even when because OF a lack OF
customers there is no need that they
stand. Then, there are all the carpen-
tiers, and the StouemasOnS, and the
blacksmiths, and the farmer, aud the
engineers, and the ticket agents, AID
the Conductors. In most trades, in
most occupations. they must stand. But
ahead Of all those VINO love and serve
the Lord is a resting place, complete
relaxation OF fatigued muscle, some
thing cushioned, and upholstered, and
embroidered, with the very ease OF
heaven. They shall sit down" Rest
from toll. Rest from pain. Rest from
prosecution. Rest from uncertainty.
Beautiful, Joyous, Transporting, ever
lasting rest! Oh, men aud women of
the frozen north, and the blooming
south, aud rom the realms Of the rising
or setting sun, through Christ get your
rs forgiven and start for the place
where you may SIT down In biSsful
recovery from the fatigues Of earth,
while there roll over you the raptures
OF heaven. May OF you have had such
a rough tuSsle in this world that II your
faculties were not perfectin heaven you
would sometime forget yourself and say:
1T istime for me TO start on that jour
new" or at must be time for fme 10
count out the drops OF that medicine;"
or 81 wonder what new attack there Is
on me through\the newspapersP or
"Do YOU think will save anything OF
those crops from the Rrasshoppers, or
the locusts. or the droughts?' or 81
wonder how much l have lost in that
last oargsiu?" or Il must hurry lest l
miss the train" No, no. The last vol
ume of direful, earthly experiences will
be finished Yea, the last chapter, the
last paragraph. the last sentence, the
last word. Fins,
Frederick the Great, Notwithstanding
the mighty dominion over which he
reigned, was so depressed at times he
could not speak without crying, and
carried a small bottle Of quick poison
with which TO end his misery when he
