WOFkcr III uOlue, duu ClluTCl dlu SCdVc, who may never be immortalized in his tory, these all give honor to God.
 What have we, Gods personal pro- perty produced for Him? Has our voice sung for our King? Has our in- tellect been keen and responsive in its quest for Truth? Have our lips been the vehicle of his messages? Have our feet been swift and beautiful in His Missons? Is any soul on earth or in heaven glad that we have lived, and nobler for it?
 ''No one fulfls the plan of his creation
 Who cannot say
 That he has led one soul from wilful blindness
 Into the day!
 We may not stand on some shigh mountain
 summit.
 With wisdom crowned. And see a brother lie in human weakness
 Low on the ground.
 We cannot reach the blessed land of promise
 By one swift flight,
 But step by step. not halting in our weakness;
 We reach the light.
 If we but make ladder of our aiiinss
 And round by round
 Climb up. a helping hand outstretchins
 Rest will be found.
 Ourwelcome will be warmer at the ending
 Ifit be known
 Tha, we have have he ped some struggling.

 come to the last thought I shall en- deavor to garner from the text, viz: III. PROPERTY POSSESSES THE FAC ULTY OF IMPARTING A SENSE OF KEsTFULNEss AND ENJOYMENT.
 After years have been spent in toll and sacrifice the heart seems to gather enjoyment out of the thohght of a per manent home for the remainder of this life. There is peculiarly charming sense of restfulness prevailing every possible good thing out of the home of retirement. And to this end it is as tonishing how much there is to be in vested:-but there need be no fear of bankruptcy as the largest and most lavish expenditure will be Love. Erie. a-brac gathered by loving hands from the worlds four quarters, sculpture, paintings, music, literature, the gems of our best loved leaders and flowers, the best loved things of God, without souls. If we aim at beautiful life we must have the beautiful out of which to construct it, and the splendid fabric is reared in the sunlight of Home. ''In my Fathers house are many man. sions," has very expressive meaning 1e lot U1 t,l- tr our heavenly life all the beautiful we have been enabled to incorporate into his life-and we have had such wealth of material. The mansions in our Fathers house are not alike in beau ty-though all beautiful. We need not fear; we shall have that which our life needs for it's appropriate setting. I have never seen an nentrancingly love ly picture spoiled by it's frame if the artist were allowed to select it.
 The eminent philosopher, Emanuel Kant, was accustomed to study and write by window which looked out on the grand ca thedral. Whenever he lifted his eyes from the page they look. upon it's marvelo us windows, dome and minarets, towers and turrets, and the silent enjoyment of the beauty rested and refreshed him. Trees grew up and their foliage bid his view, and he be came depressed. A friend understand ing the cause, trimmed the branches and restored his vision. May God give us just such friend to clear away the shadows that shut out the beautiful visions all around about us.
 come now to the inspiration of this sermon-God expects to enjoy His DOT tion, His people, His church in this world. He has made His portion beautiful and productive of beauty. He keeps himself in close touch with His people. He renews their mercieS every morning! He crowns the day with his loving kindness, and stands sentinel at night watching over His own. He is joyful in their joy, and glad in their gladneSs. Their thanks giving and praise are very sweet to Him. God appreciates their conti- dences, and their prayers are as in-
