want rest. Whether that belongs to come
dy or tragedy soy not
Tho man who gave one half Of his early
existence to the world and Of the remain
ing two quarters one to Christian worh
and the other to rest would not, I suppose
get q very brilliant reception In heaven
II there are any dried leaves In heaven,
they would be appropriate for his garland,
or If there Is any throne with broken stops,
1t would be appropriate for his coronation,
or any harp with relaxed string, It would
be appropriate for his lingering. Ny broth
or, you give nine-tenths Of your life to sin
and satan, and then get converted, and
then rest awhile in sanotified iaziness, and
then 60 up to get your heavenly reward,
and I warrant II will not take the cashier
Of the royal banking house great while
to count out to you all your dues He
will'not ask you whether You will have 1t
in bills Of large denomination or small. I
would like to put ono sentence Of my SER
mon in ITALICS and have II UNDERSIGNED
. and three exclamation points at tho end Of
the sentences, and that senteroo IL this: A.
we cannot live our lives over again, the
nearest we can como to atone for the past
Ia by redoubled holiness and industry in
the future. II this rail train Of life has
been detained and switched of and 10 fAr
behind the time table, the engineer for the
rest Of the way must put on more pressure
of steam and 20 mile minute In order
to arrive OF the right time and place under
the approval Of conductor and directors.
Your Own Application.
As I supposed 1t would be, there are
young people on whom this subject has
acted with the force Of a galvanio battery.
Without my saying word to them, they
have soliloquized, saying: "As one cannot
live his life over again and can make
only ono trip must look out and make
no mistakes. have but ono chance, and
I must make the most Of It," My young
friends, am glad you made this applica-
ton of the sermon yourself When min
lister toward the close Of his sermon says,
"Now, few words by way Of applica-
tion," people begin to look around for
their hats and get their arm through one
sleeve Of their overcoats, and the sermonio
application ia failure. I am glad you
have made your own application, and that
you arc resolved, like Quaker Of whom I
read years ago, who in substance said, II
shall be along this path Of life but once,
and so I must do all the kindness can
and all the good oan."
My hearers, the mistakes Of youth can
never be corrected. Time gone Is gone
forever. An opportunity passed the thou
sandth part Of second has by one leap
reached the other side Of great eternity.

from Eternity past, Where arc they

whistled last wear in the meadows or the
robins that last wear caroled In the sky as
to try to fetch down and bag one of the
past opportunities Of your life Do not
say, II will lounge now andlnake it up
afterward." Young men and boys, you
can't make IL up. NV observation Is that
those who in youth sowed wild oats to the
end of their short life sowed wild oats,
md that those who start sowing Genesee
wheat ALWAYS SOW Genesee wheat,
Roaming tho Harvest.
