bowling back with disappointment.
But, I remark again, that the a
of God is like the salt in its preserva-
tive quality. You know that salt alb
serbs the moisture of articles of food
and infuses them with brine. which
preserves them for a long while. Salt
is the great antiputrefactor OF the
world. EXperimenters, in preserving
food, have tried sugar and smoke and
alright jars and everything else, but
as long as the world stands ChriStS
word will be suggestive, and men will
admit that as a great p~reServatlve
salt is good" But for the grace of God
the earth would have become a stale
carcass long before this. That grace
is the only preServative OF laws ana
constitutions n H~teratures. Just as
SOC as a government loses this salt
of divine grace it perishes. The phil
oSophy of this day, so far as il is an
tagonistic ito his religion, putrefies n
StinkS. The great want of our schools
of learning and our institutions OF
science to-day is, not more Leyden
jars and galvanic batteries and spectre
scopes and philosophical apparatus,
but more of that a that will teach
u men of science that the God OF
the universe ia the God OF the Bible.
How strange it is that in all their
magnificent sweep Of the telescope
tney have not seen b morning star OF
Jesus and that in all their experiments
with light and heat they ave not seen
the light and felt the warmth of the
Sun of Righteousness We van more
| of the salt of Gods grace in our homes
in our schools, in u colleges, in oul

| has it not will die. 1 proclaim thu
| tendency of everything earthly to pu-
| trefaction and death-the religion OF

Ny subject in one Of great congratu-
lation to those who have within theil
souls this gospel a~ntiseptic. This sail
will preserve them through the tempta
tons and sorrows Of life and through
the ages of eternity. I do not mean tt
say that you will have a smooth time
because you are a Christian. In tn
contrary, If you do your whole duty,
will promise o a rough m iot
march through an enemys country
and they will try to double up Dot
