instruction for Chi dren.

This afternoon III Your Sabbath
school class there will be a prince of
GCd. some one may yet reign as king
forever before the throne: there will
be some one in your class who has a
corrupt physical inheritance, there
will be some one in your class who
has a father and mother who do not
know how TO pray; there Will be some
one in your class who is destined to
command in church or state. some
Cromwell to dissolve a parliament:
some Beethoven to touch the world s
harp strings, some John Howard TO
pour fresh air in the lazaretto. some
Florence Nightingale TO bandage the
battle wounds, some Miss Dix to
sOothe the crazed brain. some John
Frederick Oberlin to educate the be-
sotted. some David Brainerd to change
the Indians warwhoop to a Sabbath
song. some John Wesley to marshal
three-fOurths of Christendom. some
John Knox 10 make queens turn pale.
some Joash to demolish idolatry and
strike for the kingdom of heaven.
There are sleeping in your cradles by
night, there are playing in your nur-
series by day, imperial souls waiting
for dominion. and whichever side the
cradle they get out will decide the
destiny of empires. For each one of
those children sin and holiness con-
tend-Athaliah on the one side. Jeho-
sheba on the other. But | hear people
say: What's the use of bothering
children with religious instruction?
Let them grow mp and choose for
themselves. Don't interfere with their
volition. Suppose some one had said
to JehOsheba: Don't interfere with
that young Joash. Let him grow up
and decide whether he likes the palace
or not; whether he wants to be king
or not. Don't disturb his volition. ;"
Jehosheba knew right we'll that un-
less that day the young king was res
cued he would never be rescued at all
tell you, my friends, the reason we
don't reclaim all our children from
worldllness is because We begin too
late. Parents wait until the children
lie before they teach them the value of
truth. They wait until their children
swear before they teach them the i'm
pOrtance of righteous conversation
They wait until their children are all
wrapt up in this world before they tell
them of better world Too late with
your prayers. Too late with your dis
clpllne. Too late with your benedic-
ton. You put all care upon your
children between twelve and eighteen.
Why do you not put the chief care be-
tween four and nine? 1t is too late
to repair vessel when it has got out
of the drydOcks. 1t is too late to save
Joash after the executioners have
broken in. May God arm us all for
this work of snatching royal souls
from death to coronation.
Work of souI saving.
Can you imagine any sublimer work
than this soul saving? That was what
flushed Paul's cheek with enthusiasm;
that was what led Munson to risk his
life amid BOrnesian cannibals; that
was what sent DR.. Abeel to preach un-
der the consuming skies of China; that
was what gave courage to Phocas in
the third century. When the military
officers came to put him to death for
Christ's sake. he put them to bed that

I'd the American Bible society? Have
hey exterminated the British and For
ign Bible society? Have they exter-
minated the thousands of Christian in
titutiOns whose only object it is 20
multiply copies of the Scriptures and
pread them broadcast around the
world? They have exterminated un-
Il instead OF one or two copies of the
Bible in our houses we have eight or
en-, and We pile them up in the cor
lers of our Sabbath school rooms and
send great boxes of them everywhere.
T they get on as well as they are now
;oing on in the work of determination,
do not know but that our children
nay live to see the millennium. Yea.
if there should come a time of perse-
cutiOn in which all the known Bibles
Of the earth should be destroyed, ali
.heSe lamnS of life that blaze in our
puipits and in our families eXtingIiSh
ed. in the very day that infidelity and
sin should be holding jubilee over the
universal extinction. there would be
in some closet of backwoOds church
a secreted copy of the Bible. and This
Joash Of eternal literature would come
out and come up and take the
throne and the Athaliah of infidelity
and persecution would fly out the back
door of the palace and drop her miser-
able carcass under the hOofS of the
horses of the kings stables. You can
not exterminate Christianity. You
cannot kill Joash.
The second thought I hand you from
my subject is that there are OppOr-
tunities in which we may save royal
life. You know that profane history
is replete with stories of strangled
mOnarchs and of young princes who
have been put out of the way Here
is the story of young king saved.
How Jehosheba, the clergyman's wife,
must have trembled as she rushed into
the imperial nursery and snatched up
Joash, How she hushed him lest
by his cry he hinder the escape. Fly
with him, Jehosheba, You hold in
your arms the cause of God and good
government. Fail. and he is slain.
Succeed. and you turn the tide of the
worlds history in the right direction.
Ii seems as if between that young king
and his asSaSsinS there is nothing but
the frail arm of d woman. But why
should we spend our time in praising
this bravery of expedition when God
asks the same thing of you and me?
All around us the imperiled children
of great king They are born Of AL
mighty parentage and will come to a
throne or crown if permitted. But
sin. the old Athaliah. goes forth to the
massacre. MurderOus temptations are
out for the assassination. ValenS, the
emperor. was told that there was
somebody in his realm that would
usurp his throne and that the name of
the man should begin with the letters
T, H. E. o. d. and the edict went forth
from the emperor's throne, Kill ev
erybody whose name begins with T, H
E. o. D." And hundreds and thou
sands were slain. hoping by that mas
sacre to put an end to that one usurp-
err But sin is more terrific in its de-
nunciatiOn 1t matters not how you
spell your name, you come under the
knife. under it's sword. under its DOOM
unless there be some OmnipOtent relief
brought to the rescue. But. blessed
be God, there is such thing as deliv
eriEg a royal soul. Who will snatch
away JOash?

Cannot BE Extinguished.

Well. my friends, just as poor n
botch does the world always make Of
extinguishing righteousness. Super
stition rises up and says, Il will just
put an end to pure religion" D~mi-
tan slew 10000 Christians, Diocletian
slew $4,000 Christians. And the
scythe o. persecution has been swung
through all the ages, and the flames
Kissed, and the guillotine chopped. and
the Bastille groaned, but did the foes
of Christianity exterminate it? Did
they eXterminate Alban, the first Brit
ish sacrifice. or Zwlngii. the Swiss re-
former, or John Oldcastle, the Chris
tan nobleman, or Abdallah, the Ara
bian martyr, or Anne Askew, or San
ders. or Cranmer? Great work of ex-
termination they made of it. Just at
the time when they thought they had
slain all the royal family of Jesus some
Joash would spring up and out and
take the throne of power and WELD

AN ABLE SERMON,
The Pulpit of The Presbyterian
Church.

city, and al present agent of the Amer
ican Bible Society of Maryland. occupied
the pulpit OF the FirstPresbyterian Church
of this city yesterday morning in the alb
sence Of the pastor. Rev. Geo. S. Bell.
Rev. DR.. Widerman preached an elo-
quent and impressive discourse from the
Acts of the Apostle. TX chapter and 9th
verse: "And he. troubled and astonish-
ed. said, Lord, what wilt thou have me
do ? And the Lord said under him,
Arise and GO into the city. and it shall
be told thee what thou shalt do"
He referred TO Paul as man of great
learning and influence. and how he be-
came converted by the power OF the Holy
Spirit. and what mighty power he be-
came for good with the love OF Christ in
his heart. He said it mattered not what
a mans creed was if he had the love Of
Christ abiding in him he could do all
things-endure all things. He said Paul
was one OF the greatest characters in the
Bible. and his life and character would
live forever as shining light unto the
world.
At the close OF his sermon, which was
listened TO with wrapt attention, he said
he was employed as the State agent OF
the American Bible Society, which in
cluded all evangelical denomin a,ions for
the spread OF the gospel, and there was a
greater demand for the Bibls today than
ever before. and he offered An opporiu-
nifty to all who would contribute to this
good cause. A special collection was
taken up and good sum was contrib.
uted. DIR. Widerman preached at night
at his old charge, the First M. E. Church,
and the pastor. Raw. DR.. Van Arsdale,

The repeated reverses experienced by
