and let him give with glad heart, for
the Lord Ioveth a cheerful giver.
What an appeal 1t is. 1t is to make sure
that this church shall stand here for gen
erations to come a faithful witness for
God and righteousness; an unfailing
messenger of the everlasting Gospel:
refuge to the weary and heavy-laden:
lighthouse to show to perishing men the
way to the safe harbor of eternal life:
home and a sanctuary for all who seek
its shelter and its inspiration.
A Splendid Object.
For such an object is it not worth while
to make some sacrifices? And by what
considerations is the appeal enforced? BY
Your love for the church of your bap-
tism. BY the sacred memories of those
dear ones who have sat with you and
wcrshiped with YOU here! BY the charity
which the Master has kindled in your
hearts for the welfare of your fellow
men. In short. by the love Of Christ and
strained to respond to this appeal. Some
of you have doubtless seen the copy OF
great picture which was exhibited to
the public of Washington some years ago.
1t represents dead knight lying on his
bier. amid the emblems and instruments
Of his glory and his pleasure during life
his armor-his sword-his lance-his lutte
his jeweled coronet.
Beneath one reads the inscription:
What I spent 1 had. What I saved
I lost-what / gave away. that l have
1T is a fitting and impressive reminder to
us all that when our hands are folded.
and our feet crossed, and our eyes closed
in death. the only treasure that will be
ours will be the treasure that We have
laid up in heaven. What we shall have
spent in the enjoyments and pleasures of
life will be gone; what we shall have saved
will be lost; only what We shall have
given away in deeds of charity and mercy
for the good Of our fellows. for the glory
church-only that will then be ours

lincoln.

The air this last week has been vibrant
with the praises of Abraham Lincoln
In the innumerable tributes to him one
fact shines clearly. -forth. Lincoln is
loved today and will be loved to the
end of time, because he got under hu-
manity and lifted it. That is what
makes him a man, not Cf his own times
only, not of his own nation alone. but
universal man. II he had been born
fifty years earlier. or fifty years later, or
born in Russia or China instead of in
Kentucky. he would have made his
own distinct and remarkable contribu-
tion to the progress of mankind. Have
you noticed that it is not simply at the
banquets of the rich and privileged
classes that Lincoln has been eulogized.
but the common people in great numbers
and with intense enthusiasm have come
together drawn by the desire to honor
Lincoln?

period alone, but increasingly true of all

Of men are the theme. I have heard gath

Lincoln as heartily as that Of Keir Har-
