Who have wandered far away from God
who can remember the Christian influences
IN their early home? Do not despise those
Influences, my brother. II you die without
Christ, what will you do with your moth
er's prayers, with your wife's opportunities,
with your sisters eDtreaties? What will
you do with the letters they used to write
TO you, with the memory OF those days
when they attended you so kindly in times
Of sickness? Oh, il there be just one strand
holding you from floating off from that
dark sea, would just like to take hold Of
that strand now and pull you to the beach,
For the sake of your wife's God, for the
your daughters God, for the sake of your
listers God come this day and be saved.
Lastly, 1 wish to say that one OF the
Jpecifc rights Of woman Ia, through the
grace of Christ, finally to reach heave n.
Oh, what multitude OF women in heaven!
Mary, Christis mother, in heaven, Eliza
beth Fry in heaven, Charlotte Elizabeth in
heaven, the mother of Augustine in heaven,
the Countess of Huntington, who sold her
splendid jewels to build chapels, in heaven,
while a great many others who have
never been heard of on earth or known
but little have gone into the rest and
peace of heaven. What resti What a

with no fire and one window (the glass
broken out), and the aching side, and
wornout eyes, to the ''house OF many man.

Some OF you will have no rest in this
world. 1t will be toll and struggle and
suffering all the way up. You will have
to stand at your door lighting back the
wolf with your own hand red with
carnage. But God has n crown for you.
I want you to realize this morning that
He is now making 1t, and whenever
you weep n tear He sets another gem in
that crown, whenever you have pang
of body or soul He puts another gem In
that crown, until after awhile In all
the tiara there will be no room for an
other splendor, and God will say to His
angel, 1.-The crown is done; let her uT
that she may wear it." And as the Lord
Of righteousness puts the crown upon your
brow, angel will cry to angel, "Who is
she?" and Christ will say: 81 will tell you
who she is. She is the one that came up
out of great tribulation and had her robe
washed and made white in the blood OF the
Lamb" And then God will spread BAN
