gates Of eternity were swinging on
their hinges, and life's great business
was undone."
Here the preacher drew, with a
few swift, bold strokes, mental pic
ture of an unfinished house which a
young husband had designed for his
wife. Death claimed the wife, his for
tune was dissipated, and there stood
the unfinished house-magnificent
blocks of marble-tools lying around
idle-an unfinished mansion-a mock
cry. It was designed for a house of
love, where should be heard the laugh
ter of happy children, the sound of
bounding feet, where the cares of the
world should be shut out.
what a picture of our own lives, "
he exclaimed. "What homes we
might have builded-what temples we
might have erected"
Time to Minister to Others.
"God entrusts US with a portion
of His time that we may administer
to others. Many a wife is neglected
because business has come between
her husband and her, an almost i'm
passable barrier. No time TO COM
mune-so many things demand atten-
tion-caught up in the everlasting
grind and hurly- -burly of our modern
life. One day the husband who has
allowed the cares Of busy life to
crowd out the sweet and tender things
goes homes and finds a flush on the
face of his wife, and in a few days
there is a funeral. No use then to
stand by the grave and tear the hair.
Bitter regrets will not make that
heart beat with love again.
"Your old mother is almost forgot
ten. You came to town and left her
in the country home. She is getting
old and lonely. She sits and waits
for the football that is so long in COM
ing. Soon the tired hands will be
folded, and the opportunities you hal
to administer to her will be forever
gone. Don't neglect the old mother
the wife-and friends.
Children.
"God entrusts US with children. No
greater responsibility ever was plac-
ed upon a human soul. What wreck
and ruin come from neglect of our
children! Busy here and there, chas-
ing butterflies. chasing dollars! The
days are no longer than they were at
the beginning; we have just so much
time to lead them in the right way.
Manifold Means of Grace.
"God entrusts us with the manifold
means Of grace, yet we are so busy
here and there. We might have been
strong where we are weak and puny
and hating and stumbling.
GAS thy servant was busy here and
there the golden opportunity was
gone."'
