"Vashti has lost her VEIL" When see

Again, I want you this morning to con-
slider Vashti the sacrifice. Who is this
that sec coming out Of that palace gate
OF Shushans It seems 10 me that have
seen her before. Sho comes homeless,
honseless, Hiendless, trudging along with
. broken heart. Who is she3 1t is Vashti
tho sacrifice. Oh, what change 1t was
from regal position to wayfarer's crust!
A little whilo ago approved and sought
for. Now. none SO poor as to acknowledge
her acquaintanceship Vashti the sacrifice.
All, you and have seen 1t many time!
Here Is home empalaced with beauty.

Ahasuerus, the husband and the father, Is

old story over again. Brutal centaurs 1
breaking up tho marriage feast Of Lapi-
the. Tho house full of outrage and cruel
ty and abomination, while trudging forth
from the palace gate arc Vashti and her J
children. There arc homes in all parts Of
this land that arc in danger Of such break
ing up. Oh, Ahasuerus, that you should
stand In homo by dissipated life de-
Btroying tho peace and comfort Of that
home! God forbid that your children
should ever have to wiring their hands and
have people POINT their finger at them as
they pass down tho street and soy, "There
goes drunkards child" God forbid that
tho little feet should ever have to trudge
the path Of poverty and wrctchedness
God forbid that any evil spirit born of tho
wine cup or the brandy glass should come
forth and uproot that garden, and with
lasting, blistering, all consuming curse
shut forever tho palace gate against Vashti
and tho children.
