SUNDAY NIGHT.

-
Long before the hour for services
to begin the Tabernaclel began to
fill and there were more in the
building by probably 500 people
than at the afternoon services
Even before the prayer for conse-
Grafton for the collection the crowd
continued to pour IN. The subject
was, mot Far From the Kingdom
of Cod" The 18th chapter of Mark,
beginning at the 28th verse was
read down to the to the 34th verse.
The Doctor said shat the scribe
thought to catch Jesus in his tar.
After listening to Christ for awhile
and perceiving that he answered
well, he asked Jesus the question
(Which is the first commandment
Christ's answer summarized in one
sentence both tables, of the law.
The scribe then exclaimed, '.Well
said, Master. There is one God;
and to love Him with all the
heart, and with all the understand
ing and to love his neIghbor
as himself, is more than all burnt
offerings and sacrifices. Jesus
said to him. Thou art not far from.
the kingdom of God. He was a
serious-minded man. There is a
warning IN this. Sooner or Tzter
most men, by their environments
and circumstances, will be near the
kingdom of God. Ii is a crisis.
They must make an NEGLIGENT de-
clslon for their life, They are in
the valley of decision. Herod was
near 1he kingdom but went back.
Plate was was in a similar posi-
ton. Some of you here tonight
are in the valley OF decision
are debating the question, and
must go forward or go back. Some
men are nearer than others in men
tai and moral attitude. That man
is nearer who is born and raised in
happier circumstances-nearer by
reason of his privileges, who has
godly father aud mother-than the
poor, unfortunate man in a home
where God is not known and recog-
nized. There is nothing so unfor-
tunate as a Goddess and Christless
home, where there is no Christian
atmosphere and where God is not
worshipped. The man is not near
the kingdom who never goes to the
house of God. There are men and
women who do attend, church occa-
slonally, because they think it is
the proper thing to do, and like the
scribe, give their assent to the
great truths of the word of God, but
they do not accept Christ and are
still out of the kingdom, Men have
said to me, "The teachings of the
Gospel commend themselves to me,
but / have not embraced Christ.
There are honest hearts that are
seeking the kingdom of God. Ma
thaniel was an honest seeker, sit
ting in the garden studying the
scriptures. No honest inquirer is
far from the kingdom of God. Cor
nelius stepped into the kingdom.

thread of the Doctors discourse
picked out here and there a pearl
of comfort and consolation that Will
be treasured up in memory.
The Doctor chose as the founda-
tion of his remarks the 18th chap
ter of Matthew, verses l to 8 iuclu-
sive. He spoke of the Father bear
ing witness that Christ is the son
of God. Besides, Peter, James and
John were there on the mount and
heard the andlble voice of God say.
ing, "This is my beloved son, in
whom / am well pleased, hear ye
him." And there we're Moses and
Elias talking with him. The de-
claration of the eye-witnesses is
found also in I'd Peter 1; 10, "We
have not followed cunningly de-
vised fables, but were eye-wi,-
nesses of His majesty" ellis face
did shine as the sun" They be-
held his glory, God manifest in the
flesh. Christ was human enough
for all to be accessible to him. Six
ty years after the TRANSPORTATION
John heard him say, II was dead
but am alive forevermore. He
felt the thrilling touch of his dear
hand and heard the thrilling tone
of his dear voice saying to him on
the Isle of Patmos, Il am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the
end" "Fear not, John" Paul
saw that glory on the way from Je-
rusalem to Damascus, heard that
voice-"Saul, why persecutest thou
me?"
So we learn that heaven is not
very far away. God said on that
mountain to hear-not Moses, not
the prophets-"My beloved Son, in
whom l am we'll pleased"-the son
of God.
Where is HEAVIER , I
do not think it is very far away.

OLD JOE, THE MONT wATonMAN

OLD JOE, the NIGHT WATERMAN
(From the Pail Mall Gazette, Londoo.)
How often on returning homo late
on a dreary winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
night-watchman as he sat huddled up
over his cage fire, overlooking the e1-
cavations which our city council IN
their wisdom or otherwise, allow the
different water companies to make so
frequently in our congested streets.
In all weathers and under all climatic
conditions, the poor old night-watch-
man is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property, and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What
a life, to be sure; what pr1vat1ons and
hardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains, which nothing but st. ia
cob's Oil can alleviate.
''Old Joe" is in the employ OF the
Lambeth Water Works, and is well
and favorably known. He has been
night-watchman for many years, In
the course Of which he has undergone
many experiences. What with wet and
cold, he contracted rheumatism and sci
atica, which fairly doubled him up, and
1t began to look serious matter for old
Joe whether he would much longer be
able to perform his duties, on which
his good wife and himself depended
for a livelihood; but as it happened, a
pnsserby, who had for some nights no
ticed Old Joe's painful condition, pre-
sented him with a bottle OF St Jacobs
| Oil, and told him to use 1t. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and bade his
wife rub his aching back with the st.
Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him..
and undoubtedly his wife did rub. for
when old Joe went On duty at night no
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils you
gave me. Guv'nor, did give me doing;
they was like pins and needles for
time, but look at me now" and old
Joe began to run and jump about like q
young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been tell
fng everybody he met what St jacob
Oil had done for him. Old Joe says
now he has but one ambition in life,
and that is to always to be. able to
keep a bottle of ST. Jacobs Oil by him
for he says there is nothing like 1t in
the world.
St. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.
It has conquered pain for fifty years.
and it will do the same to the end OF
time. It has no equal, consequently
no competitor; it has many cheap imi-
tations, but simple facts like the above
tell an honest tale with which moth
ing on earth can compete.

Mr.. Rhodes schemes are nothing If

in May, 1899, and has taken nearly
two and half years to complete. 1t
