other, on a table, was his pipe, that
he loved next to his wife.
John felt abashed, to say the least
of it, and it was fortunate for him
that his wife was at his back at that
moment, assisting him in removing
his coat, instead of looking in his
face, otherwise she might have asked
some questions that he would have
found difficulty in answering to her
satisfaction.
Mrs Kimball hung her husbands
coat on its proper peg, helped him on
with his smoking-jackct, chatting
gayly all the while, and paused only
for him to take his seat. John seemed
to suddenly realize that the time had
arrived for him to do something, and
he accordingly sat down, very ciums-
lily, in his chair and stared, veryiva-
cantly, at the fire. His wife's voice
aroused him. and he jumped like a
man who has suddenly and unex-
pectedly come in contact with the
business end of a pin. "John,, DEAR"
she was saying, won't you remove
your shoes, put on your slippers, light
your pipe, and let me finish reading
to you that little story l began the
other night?-or r you too tired to
hear 1t tonight"
Certainly, Helen, I'll take pleasure
in listening to you. There is, really,
nothing that I enjoy more. II was
so busy with-er-my own thoughts
that / quite forgot myself" And
John proceeded to divest himself of
his shoes and don his slippers in the
greatest haste.
"Of what we're you thinking,
John?" she asked, coming over and
placing her hand fondly upon his
shoulder
Johns face crimsoned, and he tied
two hard knots in his shoestring be-
fore he realized what he was doing.
"why-er-I was thinking of the
way some fellows spend New Years
night"
"How do some fellows spend New
Years night, John, dear-nore pleas
antly than you do?"
John had just succeeded in untying
the two knots in his shoestring when
his wife's last question frightened
him into tying three others. She no.
ticed his embarrassment. but could
not account for it, and, without wait
ing for his reply, she said: Come,
John, you'll never get your shoes off
at this rate; let me help you, and
when We have finished you can tell me
how some fellows spend New Years
night" And before he could enter

protest, sven il he had possessed the
courage to try, she was down ON the
floor untying his shoestrings.
Johns face, if it were possible. turned
a shade redder, and he squirmed uneas-
lily in his chair. All married men have
occupied the same position, have ex-
perienced the same feelings that John
Kimball occupied and felt when his wife
kneeled by his side and assisted him
in removing his shoes, and for their
sakes / will refrain from calculation.
For the benefit Of unmarried men, I
will say that John felt like a young
fellow who had just been requested to
purchase a marriage license for his best
girl and another fellow; l think, they
will understand. And, for the benefit
Of the fair sex, 1 will say that John felt

ollect Just when his shoes came off, and
just when his slippers went on. He
was in the act of lighting his pipe
his wife had taken her seat on the
other side of the FIREPLACE and was
turning the leaves of her book in such
an distracted manner that he felt en-.
couraged to hope that she had forgot
ten something-when she suddenly
asked: How do some fellows spend
New Years night, John?"
John forgot to light his pipe; he held
the lighted match between his fingers
until it burned their tips, and then
he blurted out: "Why, my dear. these
fellows I was thinking of assemble in
a large room, drink cigars-I mean,
drink wine, smoke cigars, tell vulgar
tales. make ridiculous resolutions. and

finished, he looked as II he had been
invited to attend his own funeral, and
had accepted the invitation, under pro-
test.
His wife laid aside her book, and
coming over she seated herself on the
arm Of his chair, and, throwing her
arms around his neck, she asked: "Why
should my John think of such things?
You never spent a New Years night in
that manner, did you, John?"

- John kimabal was
on his way home. He was not hurry
ing home; indeed, he was proceeding
rather leisurely for a man who had
been married only six months. But
John was meditating, and when a
man meditates and walks at the same
time he generally forces his feet to
keep pace with his thoughts.
John had just parted from a crowd
of his old friends of bachelor days, such
dear old fellows-I don't mean dear
old bachelors, but dear old friends, for
John was only 25, and none of his
friends were much older than himself.
They had given him such a cordial
rooms of the Bachelors club; they
were such jolly good fellows, so free
and easy and so utterly devoid of
care, that they made John feel as
though he were one of them again,
and the parting from them had caused
his thoughts to meander slowly back
70 the time when he was one of them.
John was thinking of those sweet
old days of bachelorhood, when he
didn't have to go home early at
night; when it didn't really matter
much whether he went home at all.
He was thinking of the wonderful
games of poker he used to play, and
the funny stories that were so often
related at the club Int be was ,h;nL-

In this discourse DR.. Talmage de-
scribes in a new way the sacrifices made
| for the worlds disenthrallment and de-
l~iverance. His text is l. John iv., 16:
God is love-"
Perilous undertaking would it be to
attempt a comparison between the at
| tributes of God. They are not like a
mountain range, with here and there
a higher peak, nor like the ocean,, with
here and there a profounder depth. We
| cannot measure infinities. We would
not dare to say whether His omnipo-
| tence, or omniscience, or omnipresence,
or immutability, or wisdom, or justice,
or love is the greater attribute, but
the one mentioned in my text makes
deeper impression upon us than any
other. 1t was evidently a very old man
who wrote the chapter from which l
take the text. John was not In his
tdotage, as Prof. Eichorn asserted, but
you can tell by the repetition in the
epistle and the rambling style hat he
called grown people little children"
that the author was probably an octo-
genarian. Yet Paul, in midlife master
ing an audience of Athenian critics on
Mars hill, said nothing stronger or
more important than did the venera-
Bile John when he wrote the three words
of my text: God is love-"
Indeed the older one gets the more
he appreciates this attribute. The
h%arshness and the combativeness and
the severity have gone out of the old
man, and he is more lenient and aware
OF his w faults, is more disposed to
make excuses for the faults Of others,
and he frequently CALCULATES: Poor
human n%ature!' The young minister
preached three on the JUS
tice of God and one on the love of God,
but when he got old he preached
three on the love of God
and n on the justice Of God.
Far back in the eternities there came
a time when God would express one
emotion of His nature which was yet
unexpressed. He had made more worlds
than were seen by the ancients from
the top of the Egyptian pyramid, which
was used as an observatory, and more
worlds than modern astronomv has
catalogued or deserted through micro

and not demonstrate an instant Of love.
