SERMONETTE.

MAKE confession unto God"
This Achan had to do. This
every soul must needs do.
But confession at the judy
nent bar of God and confession
at the mercy seat of God are
, as different as life is from
death.
The confession which is
wrung from the unrepentant
heart brings with il no claim
for mercy, but the repentant
heart as IT pours out its confess
sion Of guilt may claim the
promise: "If we confess our
sins God is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and cleanse
US from all unrighteousness."
Ii Is a solemn thought that
all things are to be revealed be.
fore God. duke 12:2-5.) 1--WE shall
all stand before the Judgment
seat of Christ. For 1t Is writ
ten, AS live, saith the Lord,
every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to
God. So then every one of us
shall give account of himself to
God"
Let us fix this thought in
mind, then, o soul: That con-
fession of the hidden things of
J thy heart and life must be made
to God. It may be delayed, but
, it cannot be evaded. II must
come.
But when? The time, the place,
are within the choosing of every
, soul.
To-day II we will hear his
voice." "Now is the accepted
time" This is Gods call to
confession.
His voice sounds out from the
mercy seat where Christ the
crucified one stands to blot out
the transgression and save from
} sin.
CHOOSE you this day." VIII
you unfold your heart and life
to God and receive his mercy
and grace, or will you with re-
beIlious heart shut him out and
turn deaf ear to his cry as
he pleads: Turn we, turn we,
for why will ye die?"
For such there waiteth the day
of wrath and vengeance from God.
The day of grace sinned away, the
soul must at last appear before
God, there to make confession
( to the sins of the life and the
heart. 1t will no longer be a
matter of choice, but of absolute
necessity, for the searching eye
{ of God will discover every hid
den thing.
But oh, how vastly different
; will that scene be from that
which It might have been the
; privilege of the soul to enjoy.
No longer does the voice of God
sound forth from his seat of
; mercy. The day of mercy has
s passed. The day of judgment
has come, and the guilty soul
s can find no refuge in which to
hide. The confession is wrung
s from the unrepentant heart, and
the voice of God sounds from
the Judgment seat saying:
depart from me, we that work
iniquity."

SUN WOULDN'T BEAM
UPON BUFFALO BILL
But His Four Performances
Were Punctiliously Played
Through.

After performing for two days in rain
and mud, BuffaIp Bill and his wild
West show left early this morning for
Philadelphia. A trainload Of Indians,
cowboys, broncos, and trappings left at
100 o'clock followed by another a few
hours later. containing the rest of the
great aggregation.
In spite of the rain and cold. which
marred every performance here, the
noted scout and his expert iorsemen
have gone through four exhibitions IN
dls,nayed.
Considering ne weather the attend
ance has been good, for it was known
that the sturdy plainsmen would not
permit a little thing like the weather
TO interfere with their performance. and
many spectators braved the elements
and were well repaid Beyond a slight
ly bedraggled appearance of the Indians
and their war paint and feathers, and
the slippery ground. which prevented as
fast riding as usual, the performances
were pulled off with vim character
istic Of Buffalo Bill and his hardy as
sistants.
The show opens for a weeks engage
ment at Philadelphia Monday.
