A FATAL DECISION.

1t is fact that to-day fifteen hundred de
scendants of Jonathan Edwards have made their
way in the world since the great mans death.
The iustrious family has had it's representatives
in many callngs, respectable and much more than
that, and they have been amongst the foremost
in those callngs. Among them have been thr-
teen college presidents. And yet grandson of
this illustrious minister of the gospel sad
ception The story of the turning point in the
life of this man, when he left forever the path
which would have led him upward, we have read.
1t is said that when in college a revival wave
swept over the town in which he He,
young of ability and PROMISE along with
others of his college mates, was greatly stirred.
For days he under deep conviction of sin
Others yielded; he hesitated. AT last he made
his decision. 1t awful decision-to let

planned that which to many has been mystery

worse than an infdel." The strength and eff
hclency of church depends on the loyalty of it's
members. Their loyalty finds its truest EXPIRE
sion in the practical interest they show in it's
life and growth, their participation in its
vice, and their hearty support of its activities.
This, of course, includes financial support up to
the measure of their ability. The church love
which utters itself in words only is weak thing
and of little worth
The second responsibility of church members
is to support the work of the denomination with
"hlch they are connected. AS church is strong
and efficient in proportion to the loyalty of it's
members, SO a denomination has strength and
ehclency according to the loyalty of it's churches
Ihere is no real UNCONVENTIONAL LOYALTY which
does not declare itself in practical support of the
general undertakings of the denomination
denomination exists to maintain and propa
gate certain principles. These principles the mem
bers of the churches profess to believe and hold
dear. The denominations missionary enterprises
its educational work, its publications require the
support of all its MEMBERS and afford abundant
opportunity for them to do all they are able for
the spread of the truth-the extension of the
kingdom of Christ

On Saturday preceding the Sd Sabbath in Feb

as first pastor, and served most acceptaby in that
capacity until February, 1889, when he resigned to
accept professorship in the Union Theological Sem

elected.

1.-The Lambs of the Flock in the fold,
And well we may; but what of the sheep?
Shall they be left out in the cold?
Twas sheep, not lamb, that wandered away,
In the parable Jesus told,
A grown-up sheep that had gone far astray,
From ninety and nine in the fold.
Out in the wilderness, out in the cold
Twas sheep the good shepherd brought
And back to the flock, safe into the fold
Twas sheep the good shepherd brought
ana why Tor the sheep should earnestly long,
And as earnestly hope and pray?
Because there is danger if they 90 wrong,
They will lead the young lambs astray.
For the lambs will follow the sheep you know,
Wherever the sheep may stray;
If the sheep 90 wrong it will not be long
Till the lambs as wrong as they.
And Sc for the sheep we earnestly plead.
For the sake of the lambs to-day

Some sheep may have to pay.

LOYALTY TO ONES CHURCH.

without loyalty neither the home, the church
nor the nation can long endure. 1t is absolutely
essential to their maintenance and prosperity.
Undoubtedly there are not few who do not meas
ure up to the highest and truest standards of
loyalty to Church and State. In respect to the
duty and Importance of loyalty to ones own
church, we quote the following and just par
agraphs from Canadian exchange:

THE PURPOSE OF BAPTISM.

Baptism does not people from sin and
punishment One is not a Christian because he
is baptized, but is baptized because he has re-
ceived Christ, and rests upon Him for salvation
The infant children of believers are baptized
not to bring them into the Church. but because
they are born in the Church. They are baptized
upon the faith of their parents, who pledge to
bring them up in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord, and it is to be confidently expected
that when they arrive at years of discretion they
will accept Christ and devote themselves to His
service.

Imprisoned; he had been in prison a wear when his
ueath occurred, as recorded in our lesson Attention
Is called to the fact that Moses the first of Tho
prophets, and John the last with thirteen centuries
between them closed their lives almost on the same
spot John died young man, just thirty-three.
Inc lesson story is too revolving we shrink from
lmpresslng the details of it upon the minds of chill
dren They can be taught that Herodias who was \
granddaughter of Herod the Great (who slew tbe
babies OF Bethleham) a very wicked woman
She could compare with Jezebel the wicked wife of
Ahab She told her own daughter to do an unbecom
ing, ugly thing then cruel, wicked thing. Tt is
awful to have to be remembered for your wckedness
Herodias character is abhorrent even than that
of her husband Herod wicked as he was Herod was
the son of Herod the Great. who died few years
after our Lords birth He became ruler of part of
his fathers kingdom. Galilee and Perea He had been
ruling thrtvtwo years at the time of our lesson and
he lived until six after the death of Jesus IF
you consider the circumstances of his life there was
enough of opportunity for prosperity and happiness
to satisfy anyone but his character made his life
perfect failure. His fear of man made it impos-
sible for him to obey his conscience. PeIps Notes
describe him very wildly who feared every
thing-a perfect contrast to John who fearing God
feared not the face of man.
An accusing conscience is misery The saving is
true Every dead sin sends its ghost to haunt the
soul of the guilty" Macaren says: "Herod was right
in believing that he had not finished with John and
in expecting to meet him again with mightier power
to accuse and condemn. IF twere done when it's
done says Macbeth; but it is not done There is
resurrection of deeds well as of bodies and all
our buried badnesses will front us again, shaking
their CORY locks at us, and saying did them"

Herod and John under the heading, Which Was the

When Griffin told them they would have to
go with him the pair of alleged crooks looked
Griffin over. He is a boyish faced. slender
young fellow and the decided they could
whip him. SO they started in to do SO, and one
of the men hit Griffin blow that staggered the
detective for moment. Then Griffin made 1t
so unpleasant for them that he had his hands
full keeping the men from Ieaping from the car.
The passengers scrambled out of the car and
left clear field for the combat. AT every stop
the two men tried to get off, but were punched
back by the young detective. The mo-
torman blew his whistle. and at 6Oth street
Detective Sergeant Dunn went TO Gritilns as

The prisoners gave the names of Harry Lewis
