set on the taJAe the cutlery aud the
cha&W silver waxe of the palace, for
K1w &ud will give a state dinner to-
day. A diatima-ulahad place is kept at
the table for bid eon -int -14-w. a cole-
brated. warrior, David by name. The
guests. jeweled and plumoil, come In
a u
ple axe invited to a king'a banquat
. they are very apt to go. But before
the covers are lifte4 from the feast
Saul loglo a.round and finds a vacant
seat at the table. He says within
himself, or perhaps audibly; " What
does thin moaaf Where is my sun-in-
la,w ? Where in David. the great war

rior I I Invited him ; I expected him.
What I it vactaxit chair at a king's
banquet I" The fact was that David,
the —rior, had. been aeated for the
last time at big$ fathar�in-law'a table.
The day before. .Jonathan had coaxed
David, in the words of my text, "Thou
wilt be inimed, because thy seat wilt
be, empty." The prediction was fulfiii-
ad. David wan missed. Him seat was
empty. (rhat one vacant ohaLr ,spoke
louder than all the occupied altairs at
the banquet. �
'In almost every biouse the articles
of futruilure take a living personality.
Ed that picture a stranger would not
nee anything remarkable, either in its
design or exectitiAn, but it is more to
you than all the pieturest of the Louvre
and the Luxemboarg. You remember
who blought it and who admixed it.
And that bymn-boolk-you remember
who sang out of it ; and that cradle -
you, remember who rocked it -, and
that Bible. -you remembered who read
out of it; and that bed -you remain -
bar who slept in it ; and that room -
you remember who died In it. But
there is nothing in all your house so
eloquent and at) mighty -voiced as the
vacant chair. I suppose that before.
Saul and hili guests got up from this
banquet there was a great clatter of
wine pitchers ; but all that
drowned but by the voice that came
up from the vacant chair at the table.
First. I point out to you the father's
broken chair. Old men always like to
sit In the eaia* place and the
chair. Irbey nomahoav feel more at
home, a -ad sometimes, wJien you axe In
tbdLr plarA and they come into the
room, you jump up. and suddenly say,
" Here. father, here's your chair." The
'
probability in it Is an armchair, for
be is not so Strong as he once was,
and be needs a little upholding. The
ham a little frosty; the gums a little
depressed ; for in bin early days there
wan not much dentistry, Perhaps a
cAna and old-fashioned apparel, for
though you may have suggested some
Lmprovement, father d,oes not -want
any of your nonsense. Grandfather
nelver had mlich admiration for now -
tangled notions. (I sat al the table
of one of my parishioners in a former
congregation. 'An ag&d man was at
the table, and hi,s son was presiding,
and the father somewhat abr,uptly ad-
dressed the son, and said, "My son,
don't, now, try to show off because the
minister is here I" Your father never
liked any now customs of manners. He
preferred the old way of doing things
a -ad he never looked so happy, As when
with his ey&g cloqed� he sat in the
ivrinchair in the corner. From wrin-
e Slippers,
�hat placidity I The wave of the past
yea,rai of his life broke at the toot of
thatchair. Perhaps sometimes he was
a� little Impatient, and Sometimes told
the same story twice, but over that
old, chair hhw many blessed memories
hover. I hbpe you did not crowd that
c,14 chair, and that It did dot get very
muchl in the way, ospeciaily if he ham
been so unwise as to make all big pro-
perty to big children, with the under-
standing that they are to take care
of him. I have mean in such cases chil-
dren crowd ttiti old man's chair to the
door, and then crowd it olear Into t he
street, and then crowd it into the poor
house, and keep on crowding it until
the oild inian fail out of it into his
grave. But your father's chair was
a sacxed place. The children u1sed to
climb up on the rungs of it for a good-
night kiss, and the longeT he stayed,
the better you liked it. The furniture
dea,ler would not give you fifty cents
for it ; but It is a throng of influence
In your domestic circle.
I go a little further ,on in your
house and I find the mother's chair.
It imi wry apt to be a rocking obair.
She bad oo many cares and troubles
to Gentian that It must have rockers.
I remember it well. It waa an old

all these years, trust in God. Oh,
what a iaean%, olf grate to the wurki,
these invalid chairs. On that fjoiji of
human suffering, the grace of God
gets its Victory. But when one of

how BU-9gestive. it is. No cuore of

I PUSS on and I find out� more vac-
aut chair. It is a high chair. It is
the child's chair. If that Chair be oc,-
cuPied, I tUak it is the most Potent
chair in all the household. Ali the
chairs wait on it, all the chairs are
turned tow�trd it. It means more
,
than David's chair at Saul's banquet.
At any rate, it makes more racket.
That in a Strange house that can be

thing to arouse all(A in,elt and sub-
d.ue the soul like a child's voice. But
when it goes frotm, you, the high

there is desolation all around about
you I cannot speak from experlepce,
