Judgment" This view of history claims my respect.
 Does our narrow view lead us to lose faith in humanity, both as we see it iR the lump and expressed in individual lives? Then
 LET US FOLLOW CHRIsT'S EXAMPLE and have reverence for every life. He has called us not servants, but friends. Around Him He 6rew the outcast, the vicious, the forlorn, that He might inspire within them respect for themselves. I have often thought of that expressi n,re- ferriDg to Matthew's call, ,"He saw man named Matthew" Christ saw the man in Matthew-Matthew the swindling publi- can, no better than his class; and Christ sees to day the manhoo od, the woman hood, in every life, and longs to bring it out. In the Samaritan woman Christ saw not the woman of impure life, but one thirsting for living water springing up into eternal life. Ia Mary of Magdala He saw not the woman racked by the devils of sin, but one fit to wear the crown of womanhood in being first to meet her risen Lord. Every life is ma iestic because of the struggle it passes through. For the possession of every life three worlds contend-Heaven, earth and Hell; and the turning of one life toward the right wakes the whole angel hosts to song. One stands before the Laocoon group in the Vatican, where the father Band asons struggle kwith two immense serpents that have come to destroy them from the depths of the sea; and & feeling of ad- miration is excited for the father and the boys. But no less of struggle goes on in every life. Phillips Brooks once said: "No man is so. poor, so mean, so low that do not stand in we before him,''
 If we would help men, we must rever- ence them. The unfortunate do not care for our money even so much as they need our reverence. We go to the poor labeled all over with our charities, crop ping out everywhere with committes and the organization way of doing things, and then wonder that the poor are repel- led. Lowell has cutely said:
 ",'Taint knowin' kind of cattle
 That is ketched with mouldy corn" The Jews called those outside their hcly places kheathen, those who did not have Athenian culture the Greeks called bar barians. I am afraid that great many Christians spend most of their time in thanking God that they are not like other men. The masses will never be reached by patronizing them; the world is not coming to Calvary by being calIed fools. Respect not the sin of the sinner, but reverence the Christlike spirit that may reign in his heart.

 Reloboam would not deign to take mo- tice Of the counsel of the old men. These old u sn had been the cOunselors of his lathe ., King Solomon. They knew about the affairs of State. They knew the tenn per the people. They knew what the peopls wanted. They knew how much the pt ople would stand. They had been called in consultation and they acted in good part. They gave the best advice which they were able to give; but Reho- boam, youag man, despised their ad- vice. Be would have none of it. He woulG take the counsel of the young men.
 The people of Israel under Jeroboam wanted Rehoboam to relax the severity of his fathers rule. They said that if he would accomplish for them certain re- forms they would prove faithful servants to him. Rehoboam asked three days to consider the matter; and when the peo- pie with Jeroboam returned, following the advice wholly of the young men that were grown up with him, he said: My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke. My father also chas tised you with whips, but will ,chastise you with scorpions" And you know the result of this word. Ten of the I2 | tribes went over to the side of Jeroboam there were two kingdoms in Israel.
 This, my friends, was not the first time that the counsel of old men has been lset aside. Ie was not the first time when old | men have been regarded as back num- be-, their usefulness in society having gone. It was not the first time that old men have been pooh-poohed simply be- cause they were old. It was not the first time that gray hair and wrinkles have been thought badges of shame. It waa not the first time that old men have been made very plainly to feel that they were In the way. All that feeling on the part Of the young which manIfests itself tow

Secular Sermon.
IT IS INFAMY TO DIE AND NOT BE MIssEI

IT IS INFAMY TO DIE AND NOT BE MISSED
 My text, beloved, is taken from the sayings of some modern wise man, "It k ipfamy to die and not be missed"
 It was a saying concerning the great Galilean prophet, Jesus of Nazareth
 while he was here upon the earth, that
 'He could not be hid." Although He seemed to shun the multitude and sought to withdraw himself from the throne who pressed about Him, drawn by curl osity, it was nevertheless impossible for Him to escape entirely the seeking oi men. He had that which is implied in our text, helpful spirit and sympa- thetic heart, and so was sought for and must have been missed when at last the cruciixion brought an end to that holy life.
 In impressing the lesson of these words will you not notice that if man will be missed in the world he must be helpful man. There are } many people in this world who need help. The poor and the Wretched, the sick and the troubled, al need helping hand, and find so little of it in this present age. Wrapped in cur own selfishne s } we seek our own and not the help of others. We have our hos pitals and our trained nurses and our complex municipal machinery for the care of the helpless and the poor until there is little place left for the scope of individual action. And yet the help of the individual is still needed because it Is the touch of man with man. One of my aged Christian friends delights to tell of one of the customs of his younger Jays when if there was sick family in he parish, who needed help, the pastor would announce the fact from the pulpit,

can speak like book when so minded;
and brave-lion's nothing alongside of

All OF the crew respected and even
obeyed him. He had way Of talking
