The De1usion In Delay.
Be not among these who give their
whole life to the world and then give
their corpse to God. 1t does not seem
fair that while our pulses are in full
play of health we serve ourselves
and serve the world and then make
God at last the present of a coffin. 1t
does not seem right that we run our
ship from coast to coast carrying car
goes for ourselves and then, when the
ship is crushed in the rocks, give to
God the shivered timbers 1t is great
thing for man on his dying pillow to
repent-better that than never at all;
but how much better, how much more
generous, it would have been if he had
repented fifty years before! My friends,
you will never get over these procras-
tinations.
Here is a delusion. People think, 81
can go on in sin and worldliness, but
after awhile I will repent and then it
will be as though l had come at the
very start" What mistake! No one
ever gets fully over procrastination. If
| you give your soul to God some other
| time than this, you will enter heaven
with only half the capacity for enjoy
ment and knowledge you might have
| had. There will be heights of blessed
ness you might have attained that
then you will never reach; thrones of
| glory on which you might have been
seated, but which you will never climb.
We will never get over pracrastinatiOn,
neither in time nor in eternity.
We have started on a march from
which there is no retreat. The shadows
Of eternity gather on our pathway.
How insignificant is time compared
with the vast eternity! AS l was
thinking of this one day while coming
down over the Allegheny mountains at
noon, by that wonderful pass which
you all have heard described as the
Horseshoe-a depression in the side Of
the mountain where the train almost
turns back again upon itself, and you
see how appropriate is the name of the
Horseshoe-and thinking on this very
theme and preparing this very sermon,
it seemed to me as if the great courser
of eternity speeding along had just
struck the mountain with one hoof and
gone on into illimitable space. So short
is time, so insignificant is earth, COM
pared with the vast eternity! This mo-
ment voices roll down the sky and all
the worlds of light are ready to rejoice
at your disenthrallment. Rush not into
the presence of the King ragged with
sin when you may, have this robe OF
righteousness. Dash not your foot tC
pieces against the throne of a crucified
Christ Throw not your crown of life
off the battlements. All the scribes OF
God are at this hour ready with vol
umes of living light to record the news
of your soul emancipated.

RESOLUTION FOR REMOVAL
- Went to the Committee and Moth
Code Revision.

Tho General Assembly disposed OF con-
siderable business yesterday for sa'ur-
day session again vindicating its repn'a-
ZION as 3 working body. a number OF pi'is
and resolutions were taken up and acted
on in both bodies. being either passed
or advanced as far as the rules OF pro-
ccdure permitted.
IN the House Mr.. Heermans. one or the
minority representatives. proposed 70 dis-
miss the Committee for Courts OF Justlce
from the consideration further or the
resolution OF inquiry in the case of Judge
Clarence l. Campbell, of Amherst ana
offered in its stead a resolution impeach-
ing and removing the judge and giving
notice to him of such proposal TO remove
him from Office. The resolution embodleo
charges against the Judge. No expression
OF tte members on the merits of the case
was elected. but the impression was gen.
erai that the Committee for Courts Oh
Justice haS had no opportunity to con-
slider the bill which ii was proposed to
e,ipersede more drastic action. The reso-
luton vas accordingly referred to the
committee Whether there viii be iur-
Their action in the matter. and Il So when,
remains TO be seen. Mr. Heermans init
mated his desire that some action on the
Bill and in the event that some report
m II is not soon made TO the House. he
wli; call 1t up again.
In the Senate the most important ac-
ion of the day was the Introduction and
subsequent withdrawal Of a resolution
proposing to create a codfying commits
sion of the two houses. 1t would have
reonened the old difference between the
two bodies on this question and uselessly
consumed the time Of the more numerous
body. Several bills and resolutions Of
considerable public interest were offered
In both bodies.
