Duty of Parents.
IA deepalch frem dierashington says;
s-elitiev. Dr. Talmage preached from the
following text; "This day is salva-
tion come to this house,"—Luke xix.
Zaceheus see.s a politician and a
eaa_gatherer. 1 -le had an hone‘st
calling-, but the opportunity for
"stealing"was so large, the tellaPI:ad
tion was too much fox him. The
Bible says he "was a sinner"—that is
hs the public., sense. How many fine
men have been ruined by offielal posi-
tion! It is> an awful thing for any
ream to eeek office under government
unless_ his principles of integrity are
deeply fixed. Many a man, upright
in an ine.ignificant position, has made
shipwreck in a great one As far
as I can tell, in the eity of jericho
this Zaccheus belonged to what
might be called the "Bing." They had
things their own way, successfully
avoiding exposure—if by no other
way, perhaps hy hiring somebody to
brealr in and steal the vouchers. Not-
Withstanding- his bad reputation,
theee were streaks of good about him,
as there is about almost every man.

Jesu.s was coming to town. The
people turned out en ,masse to see
him. Here he comes --the Lord of
Glory—ma fOot, dust -covered, ..and
road -weary, limping along the way,
carrying the griefs and woes of the
world. He looks to be sixty years of'
age when he is only about thirty.
Zaechatis was a short man, and could
not see over the people's( heads while
standing- on the ground; so he got

of
THE SUItGING CROWDe
The enost honorable and popular men
of the city are looking on, and trying
to gain his attention. Jesus, instead
ef regarding them, looks up 6.t the_
little man in the tree, and says,
"Zacchens, come down. r am going
home 'With you." Everybody was
clisgusled to think that Christ
would •go home veilla so dishonorable,
I see Christ -entering the front door
f the house of Za_ccheins. The King
heaven and. earth. sits down;
f`ag'—hcfciolte around on the place
eenthe family, he pronounces the
heneediction of the text; "This day is
•
ation come to ,.this- house."
Zaccheus had mounted the eyca-
more tree out at mere inquisitive-
nees. Ile wanted to see how this
stronger looked—the color of his
eyes, the length of 1.1is hair, the con-
tour of his features, the height of
his stature. "Comedown," said Christ.
And so many peeople, in this day,
get up into the tree of curiosity or
speculation to see Diai:ist. They -ask
o thousand qneer questions about his
cliviety, about God's zovereign y,
and the eternal decrees. They specu-
late, and criticise, and hang On to
the outside limb of a great sycainore.
Butt they must come down from, that
if they want to he saved. , We cannot
be saved as philosophers, but as lit-
tle children. You cannot go t9
heaven by way of Athens, but by way
of Bethlehe.m. What matters it vv -ho
are elected to 'be saved, when eve
know that -unless, we believe and r
'it wo shall all be daro.ned? Why
be perplexed about- the way sin came
into the world, when the great clues -
tion 15 hosv we shall, get sin driven
out of our hearts? "How many spend
their time in criticism and religious
speculation! They take the. Rose of
Sharon, or the Lily of the Valley,
pull met tbe a:utiles', scatter the cor-
,olla, and say, "It3 that th'e beautiful
of religion that you. are talk -
about ?" No, flower is beawti-

THE PATH TO HEA:VEN

any rnieteke about it, and yet sieil'en
stop and cavil. ' There is nee -need of
bothering ourselves elesei mysteries
4Utere sees -see' many things that
"Zaccheus, come down! come down !"
I notice that this tax -gatherer ae-
companied his surrender to Christ
with the restoration of property that
'aid not belong to him.. He says, "If
I have taken anything by_fals-e mon-
sation, I restore' fourfold." That is, if
I have taxed any man for ten thou. -
eared dollars, when he had only five
thousand dollars of property, hnd put
in my pocket' the tax for the lastfive
thousand, I will restore to him four-
fold. If I took 'Prom Ilith ten dollars,
I will givehim forty dollars. If. I took
feoen him forty dolla re, I, will g lee him
one hundred and sixty dollars.
Exodus xxide "If a man shall steal
ox or a sheep and kell 'it he sell
it, -he shall eestore five oxen for ant
ox, and four sheep for a sheep. If h
thief be found breaking up-, _and he
smitten that he die, there shall no
bleod be shed for hien., If the sun be
risen "upo'n him, there ,shall be blood
shed for him, for he ehotild make full
restitution; if he have nothing, then
he shall'he sold for his theft. If the
theft be certainly found, in his hand
nlive, whether it be ox, or ass,, or
sheep, he shall restere double. , If
a Man :shall cause a field Or vine-
yard to be eaten, and. shall put in his
beasteand shall feed in another man's
field, 'of t.he hest of his own field,
and of the ,bese of his' own vineyard
shall he make restitution."
Yon say-, "I cannot •-nrake restitu-
! Hen. 'The partiee whoi:n I swindled
are gone." Then I say, "Take the
money _up to .the Americas!. /dibl

gains, and it was his first step in
