Open the Church Doors.
 An, when you pass away-and It will not be long before you do-when you pass away, 1t will be a satisfaction to see your children in Christian society. You want to have them sitting at the holy sacraments. You want them min gling in Christian associations. You would like to have them die in the sa- cred precincts. When you are on your dying bed, and your little ones come up to take your last word, and you look into their bewildered faces, you will want to leave them under the church's benediction. do not care how hard you are, that Is so. said to a man of the world: Your son and daughter are going to join our church next Sunday. Have you any objectionsr "Bless you," he said, objections? I wish all my children belonged to the church. don't attend to those matters myself. I know I am very wicked. But I am very glad they are going, and I shall be there to see them. I am very glad. sir; l am very glad. I want them there" And so, though you may have been wanderers from God and though you may have sometimes caricatured the church of Jesus, 1t Is your great de sire that your sons and daughters should be standing all their lives with in this sacred inclosure.
 More than that. You yourself will want the church for a hiding place when the mortgage Is foreclosed, when your daughter, just blooming into wo- manhood, suddenly clasps her hands in a slumber that knows no waking; when the gaunt trouble walks through the parlor and the sitting room and the dining hall and the nursery, you will want some shelter from the tempest. An, some of you have been run upon by misfortune and trial. Why do you not come into the shelter?

For each one of those children sin and holi- ness contend, Athaliah on the one side, Jehosheba on the other. But I hear people say: What's the use of bother ing children with religious instructionf Let them grow up and choose for themselves. Don't interfere with their volition."

Je- hosheba knew right well that unless that day the young king was rescued he would never be rescued at all. tell you, my friends, the reason we don't reclaim all our children from worldliness Is because we begin too late. Parents wait until their children lie before they teach them the value of truth. They wait until their children swear before they teach them the im- portance of righteous conversation. They wait until their children are all wrapped up in this world before they tell them of a better world. Too late with your prayers. Too late with your otaainlans. Tee Ats with xour hszadic.

this subject Is that the extermination Of righteousness Is an impossibility. When a woman Is good, she Is apt to be very good, and when she Is bad she is apt to be very bad, and this Athaliah was one of the latter sort. She would 'exterminate the last scion of the house tof David, through whom Jesus was to Ieome. There was plenty of work for embalmers and undertakers. She would clear the land of all God fearing and God loving people. She would put an end to everything that could in any wise interfere with her imperial crim- nnality. She folcs her hands and says: ''The work Is done. It Is completely done." Is it7 In the swaddling clothes of that church apartment are wrapped the cause of God and the cause of good government. That Is the scion of the house of David. It is Joash, the God worshiping reformer. It Is Joash, the friend of God. It Is Joash, the demoral- izer of Baalitish idolatry. Rock him ten derly, nurse him gently. Athaliah, you may kill all the other children. but you cannot kill him.
