Friday night by Rev w. a. Sunday
on the subject, Eternal Life" fol-
lows:
! would like, in my sermon, n my
ttrength will permit and your pa
tience endure, TO ask and answer
three questions.
First, what do want most OF all
man in Chicago said 10 me ono
day. "If ] could have all I wanted
pf any ono thing ] would tako
money."
You if you would make similar
choice. Not that money Is not noe
lessary. but there are lots OF things
money cannot buy.
IL you should meet with an accl-
dent which would require n surgical
operation or your iifo would De de-
Fpaired OF, there Is not a man here
but that would gladly part with all
the money he has " mat would give
him the assurance that no could hvo
AZ months longer
But II you had all tho money in
the world you couldn't ~ 10 tho
Graveyard and put that loved one
back I'm your arms and have them all
'sround the family ciroiD agnin and
bear that voice sp"ak your name
again.

mp at her wharf. having Just returned
from the Klondlko. and ms the
people walked down tho plank their
friends met them to congratulate
them on their success or TO enCour-
Oge them through their defeat. And
among the crowd was "A man l used
10 know In Fargo, 3. -
5 Friends rushed up aud said, well,
swc hear that you were very SUCCESS
Gful I'm tho far off uOTtl.'
yes, wife and | loft hero six
months ago with Just enough money
20 pay our faro and now we have
Si5O.000 worth OF gold dust In the
hold OF that ship
Thon somebody discovered that
their little boy WAS not with them
and said, where is JIM"
Tho tears rolled down his cheeks
and no said, I'VE left him buried on
ihe banks o fthe Yukon beneath the
snow and ice, and we would gladly
part with all the gold II We only
had our boz"
But all the wealth of tho Klondlke
could not open tho grave and put
that child back Into their arms Mon
ley can't buy the peace OF God that
.passeth understanding. Money can't
rake the sin out OF your lie.
y Money can surround your sick
bed with luxuries. hut II cannot re-
store your health. Money can fur
nish you with bod OF awandown,

guilty conscience. Money will
purchase parasites. but It has never
bought a truo and tried friend that
will stand by you until the last
Juitch.
Is there any particular Kind OF
,iife you would like TO have2 IL you
could live 100 years You wouldn't
a. a II. \ 1..NI
y want to stay as long as Gods Will
wiz lot me stay. but when Gods
time comes for mo I'm ready TO go.
sBut II l should live 1000 years !
like to stay. L don't want to die. l
always thought there was something
wrong with fellow who wanted TO
die. am not afraid to die. But
TO try TO convipce Him that II would
not hurt to let mo stay little
longer.
All Must Die,
And 40 what l want Is eternal
life. You want It. everybody
wants IT,
Can / get eternal ilfc?" That Is
the next question.
kgIf you are III the most natural
thing for you to do is to so for your
doctor. lie It II TO whom you phone
amy hour of tho day or night, and
then you let him whistle for his
lmoney.
You will say to him. II have been
Blinking this matter over and have
come 10 the conclusion that / don't
want to die. Can you help meY''
'llo will tell YOU, II can diagnose
your case and / can prescribe for
" 5dr fiiaiady, but i cannot sell life.
q have iea patients on my hand,
nil asking me tho Same thing. None
OF them want to die. cannot pro-
long life"
When your time comes you win
have to go.
SO, then you go TO your philoso-
pher. lie It is that reasons out the
problems and mysteries OF life by
the application OF reason. You say
70 him, II have como to you for
help. l want to live forever. Can
gou help meY'
He says TO goa, young man, my
ihalr and my beard have grown long
and white as snow, and my eyes are
dim, my shoulders bend with the
weight OF my years, and / am just
as far from the solution OF that
problem as 1 was when started.
100 must die soon and sleep beneath
thc sod
Then you turn to the millionaire,
And you say, "Oh! millionaire, you
will not die. You can bribe death"
He will say IL can hire the best
doctors and visit the world famous
Banitariums, and / can cruise In my
yact and travel, but / cannot bribe
death. / cannot prolong my life"
And In my imagination have
stood by the bedside of the dying
Pullman palace car magnate. George
Nj. Pullman, whose will probated
$4,000, 900, and ! have said, oh
MIR. Pullman. you will not die. You
can bribe, death"
1 watched the pupils OF his eye
lids dilate and his breast heaves and
she gasps---and he is gone. Then
send for tho undertaken and he
fnakes an incision in his left arm,
pumps in the embalming fluid be-
meath whose power he turns as rigid
and white as ice and alabaster. and
they put him In the rosewood jew
eled coffin trimmed with silver and
gold, and then they put that In the
lhermetically sealed casket
The gravediggers so to Grace
land cemetery, on the shores OF
lake Michigan, and dig his grave
In the old family lot; and dig his
grave 0 feet wide, and they put
