II know much talked of young
woman in this state who put tom o.
stone at the grave of her horse. ana
had flowers placed on the grave OF
dog that was dead. and near the
beautiful home lived a reel footed BOY
who could have been healed with the
money spent on flowers to put on the
grave of the dog, and the price put
into the marble rock at the grave OF
the horse would have paid the nos
pital fee to have had that boys ankle
bones Strengthened. That boy came
crippIfng to the feet of jesus IN one
of my meetings, and God saved his
soul. and l believe God thought some
rich man should fix his legs so he
might walk but he did not do it.
II know a multi-millionaire whom
the constituency of the state in which
he lived lifted him to the highest po-
sitions in the state, and almost the
highest in the nation, yet he lett not
one dollar to the church, or schooi

NAPOLEON dead? l think hiIa one OF
the most marvellous characters in pro-
fame history, but he died amid the
dash of the waves in banishment. he

head, and looked at the sarcophagus
where he sleeps. thought of Val

hearts and thoughts of million Of
rs Martin Luther dead? I de-
clare unto you he still lives. Is John
Knox dead? Is John Wesley dead? In
the heaven pointing finger of each
and every church steeple these men
live today. and will live when the
last star has gone out, and when the
heavens shall be rolled together as
scroll, they will live. / believe in the
resurrection, but that is another ser
mon. I will preach it some other
time. But you dare not deny these
men, and many women who have
lived, and have died live in the heart,
and thought OF you and me. Is your
sister dead? I had one sister, and
she was burned to death. 1 saw
babe pluck at her garments Of death,
and say Speak Mamma but she
lives tonight in my heart, and her in-
fIuenca follows me. Is that little
babe dead? IS your old mother dead
No, no, you can almost feel the touch
OF hand that is still; you can see
face on the well preserved art gallery
of your memory"
