thin," says the wife to the husband, flor there will not be enough to go around 1 for all the children. Cut the slices thin" Blessed be God there is a full loaf for every one that wants it. Bread and enough to spare! No thin slices on the Lords table!
 Healing Balm for Wounds.
 remember that while living in Phlla- delphia7 at the time I spoke of minute ago, the Master Street hospital was opened, and a telegram was received say ing: There will be 300 wounded men to- night. Please take care of them" From my church there went out twenty or thir- ty men and women. As the poor wound ed men were brought in no one asked them from what state they came or what was there percentage. There was a wounded soldier and the only question was how to take off the rags most gently and put on the cool bandage and admin ister the cordial And when a soul comes to God he does not ask where you came from or what your ancestry was. Heal ing balm for all your wounds; pardon for all your guilt comfort for all your troubles!
 Then. also, counsel yon, if you want to get back, quit all your Bad associates. One unholy intimacy will i'll your soul with moral distemper. In all the ages of the church there has not been an in- stance where man kept one evil associ- ate and was reformed-among the 1,600- | 000,000 of the race, not one instance. Give | up your bad companions or give up heaven. It is not ten bad companions that | destroy a man nor five bad companions, | nor three but one.
 What chance is there for the young man I saw along the street, four or five r.ytt I,t i., D( shop, urging him to go in, he resisting. violently resisting, until after awhile they forced him to go in? It was a summer night, and the door was left open and I saw the process. They held him fast and they put the cup to his lips, and they forced down the strong drink What chance Is there for such a young man?
 I counsel you also to seek Christian ad- vice. Every Christian man Is bound to help you If he declines to help you, he is not a Christian. Now gather up all your energies of body, mind and soul, and appealing to God for success, de- clare this day everlasting war against all evil influences. half and half work will amount to nothing; it must be 8 Waterloo. Shrink back now and you are lost. Push on and you are saved. A Spartan general fell at the very mo- ment of victory but he dipped his finger
 
 near which he was dying, Sparta has conquered" Though your struggle to get rid of sin may seem to be almost a death | struggle, you can dip your finger in your own blood and write on the Rock of Ages, Victory through our Lord Jesus | Christ"
 Surrendering to God.
 Some of you, like myself. were born in the country. And what glorious news might these young men send home to their parents that this afternoon they had surrendered themselves to God and started a new life! I know how it is in the country. The night comes on. The cattle stand under the rack, through which bursts the trusses of hay. The horses have just frisked up from the meadow brook at the nightfall and stand knee deep in the bright straw that in yites them to lie down to rest. The perch of the hovel is full of fowl, their feet warm under their feathers. When thu nights get cold the flames clap theil hands above the great backlog and shak' the shadow of the group up and dowI
