The funeral sermon of the lete Richard Balkwill was preached in the Main street Methodist church on Sunday evening last, by the Bev jasper Wilson, M. A. A large unraber of old. neighbors eed acquaint- anoes wee iu attendance besides the ordin- ary copgregation. The Bee.gentleman took for his text II Tim. IV. 6. 7. 8, "For I am now teeady to be offered, and the time of my departure's at band. 1 have fougbt a good fight, I have finished my ccurse, I have liept the faith, Henn forth there i% laid rip for me a orown of righteonsnese, whiehtheLard the righteous Jadge shell giv me at that day, and not te xseooly,bubtoall them also that love his appearing." These are the wot ds of the ascii Paul then in prison but eoon to be led forth to meaty' dont. Imprisoned because he was christian and condemned to death becanso he would persist in preaching the gospel of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Humanly speaking, Paul's life hod been a hard one, In labors abundant, in stripes above measure in prisons frequent, in perils by land and sea, in wearinesa and painful- ness, hunger and thii st often, "and now in his old age in prison again, condemned for no oriole to death, yet the language of the text is not that of melancholy, but of triumph. Persecuted, he wile not forsaken and he rejoietee that he should be counted worthy to suffer death for Christ's sake. In looking through the whole history of his ohrietian life we find that no shadow of gloom ever oast its mantle over his soul. Always rejoioing, his life was like atrium ph - al march, net on a highway of woe and comfort, but on a rough and thorny way where persecutions, withouttnamber, hurled at him their fiery darts, by which however his great soul was unmoved, they falling quenched and powerless before his mighty shield of faith, and indefatigable zeal. Paul in his life ,amassed no wealth. He attained unto no position of temporal power, as many are ambitious to edo now. He spent his last days in a prison and died by the band of an executioner, saying before be died, "I am now ready to be offered eto." Was hie life a failure? Men judge of life from different standpoints. Some think of life as a success or failure acoording to the amount of show a perpon makes in the world: In the eyes of many the man who has been successful in business, who has started with little and has accumulated a great deal is the man who has lived. to some purpose while the plodding poor man, never acquiring a competence is looked upon as having lived in vain, and this might be a correct standpoint from which to look at life, if there were nothing beyond the grave. It belongs to our very nature to admire hermsna and selfsacriece on the part of others, but what does thee amount to if death ends alt? If this life be all, the selfsacritioing man, the hero is a fool,' and ne is the wise man, who regarding hie, own iuterests as superior to all else, cares for others only insofar as P3rieg5foir others' will build up his own intetests and enable him to reach the summit of earthly happi- ness, If this world be all they who spend their lives as Paul dia are of all men the most miserable. But the very fact that we naturally admire selfsacrifice on the part of others, and despise selfishness is a proof that the st.eana of man's life flows on, after death has terminated his earthly °tureen and. if life reaches into a future world we bave to look at it here from the standpoint of its relation to the hereafter. If there were no hereafter, man constituted as he is would be a monstrosity in nature, and life to every thinkiag man would be a bitter disappointment. The demands of our being are infinite and earth, with all her lavish offerings, comes far short of satisfy- ing those demands. Tne infidel Roseean who looked for such aatiefaction in this life says at the close of his life, "I now found myself in the decline of life a prey• to tormenting maladies, and believing myself at the close of my career Aithout having once tasted the sublime pleasures after which my heart panted. Why was it that with a soul naturally expausive, whose very existence was benevolence, 1 have never found one sinele friend with feelings like my own? A prey to the cravings of a heart wbich have never been satisfied, I perceive myself arrived at the conened of old age and dying ere I have begun to live, I con- sidered destiny as in my debt for promises which she had never realized. Why was I created with faculties so refined yet which were never intended to be adequately em - played ? I felt my own value and revenged myself of my fate by recollecting and shed- ding tears for its injustice." It requires a hereafter to satisfy the soul of raan and believing in that life and immortality brought to light by the gospel we keep it in view as we consider the question of the success or failure of this life. Accepting the doctrine of the fall of man and his redemption by the blood of Christ. 13e- lieving in a future state of bliss or woe dependent upou our individual acceptance or rejection of Christ, and believing in tbe universal brotherhood of man, for all these doctritlea are taugbt in the Soripture, we find that the life of Paul was one of the most suocesaful ever lived. In this case he is the wise man who seeks after and en- deavors to do the will of God, inasmuch as that embraoes the purpose of life. He has created tis and we are dependent upon Hint and under obligation to Lim, since in Him We live and inove and have our being, and we cermet get along without Rim. All this would have been true had our rime never fallen, and in an uniallen state, being free f,om melfighness, and the spitit of reboil:ion, we would over have song ht af ter and diligeon ly pursued the will of God, But, being sinners, we are note the loss dependent upon Him, and being redeemed it Is our duty by His help to struggle up Otti of the boodage of sin into freedom from condemn - talon, and. into purity of life, ana following upon this to endeavor to our utmost to raise onr fellowmeu into tbe Smile freedone and purity, God worke through human instill- ulmeausisnememertlAant Harvest lacUrsions. mentality in blessing, the world, and there- fore wherever sin has been working I' s ruin- ous effects upon the race causing disorder and suffering. the chrietian is largely the agent employed in bringing about harmony and happiuess and in acting to the best of Itis ability here, he is glorifying God. And. what nobler purpose oould llfe have titan *hie, that a man should please God, and. be an agent in bleesiug his fellowmen ? It excludes all eelfishneee and awakein him the stint of pure benevolence, and mech. elan living such a life as he conies to its close can have no doubt as to his future Lonny. Looking beck with satisfaction over a life well spenteand looking forward to the bliss of heaven he can say with. PauPet am now ready to be offered I !moo fought a good tight, 1 have finished my (muse, I have kept the faith." "I have fought a good fight." This im- • plies aotiou and effort on the part of Paul, • The fightreferred to was a fight ageiriiit the temptations of the wicked one "Satan" had "buffeted him." It was a fight to keep in subjection evil propeneitiee "wherefore I labor and keep my body io subjection lest that by any meane after I have preached to others Innyself should be a castaway." It was a fight to proclaim and maietain the truth in the face of opposition. He wan in 'perils from falee brethren." 'The love of Christ constrained him and he urged' his way through persecutions and suffering, determined to do his duty as a follower of Christ. The good fight in his case was similar to that which is before every °lariat- ian and in whith every cbristian is engaged and which continues until the "course" is finished. St. Paul's life was a beautiful life. There is nothing more beautiful on earte than a true ohristian life. 7t is manly, • womanly, ehristian to melte the temptation' ef Satan, nothing %YAP call forth greater admir- ation than a man seen successfully struggl- ing against the warring desires and passions of his soul. tbrough divine grace keeping them in subjection, and he who diligently pursues the path of duty and stands ever firm upon the rook of truth and rightin the face of opposing diffieulties will be Pro- nounced a man who fa fighting the good fight. Such a fight develops thetrue man- hood, its objeot being to shake off, overconee and oast under the feet every evil thing, and become poseeseed of the mind of purity, the mind of benevolence, the miue of self- sacrifice that was in Learjet. Compare the man today who is fighting this good figh with the man who is yielkling to nearly every evil desire, and the one is a king while the other is so degraded that the world Meshes to,reeognize him as a roan. The christian attains unto.ae higher man- hood, being possessed of anniud of benevo- lence and self-saarifioe he is ever reaohing out to bee,ss the brotherhood of man.

'Surely he lives ie vain and fang short of true manhoocl who., ruled by sel- fishness, does not make the world any better for his having lived in it, who tails to benefit his fellowman either temporally or spiritually, never reaching out to him a helping hand in his need, His can only be a tally successful life who fights the good fight. The good. fight implies earnest- ness of effort Theme are some who are so thougbtless. Full of animal life, never having met any trouble, nor anticipating any, inconsiderate ef the future, their life is a round of gaiety, like the butterfly flitt- ing in the sunbeam or the pleasure party sailing down a quietstream in summertime. But life is too precious to be thrown away like tin t "Lite is real, life is earnest" and to fight the good fight mese s rowing against the stream of worldly pleasure and beating against the tide of worldly mindedness. "Tis not feu man to trifie,life is brief and sin is here Our age is but the falline- of a leaf, a dropp- ing tear We have no num to snort away the hours All must be earnest in, a world like ours." youne man was coeverted during an illness which prayed fatal, though it was not thought so when be seemed to give his heart to Christ, when the physician an- nounoed an unfavorable (Mange in his con- dition he expressed entire resignation and requested. a friend to sing a hynna ex- pressive of that feeling.

He was al'ways ready, often having a desire to depart and be with Christ, bat here as be knows that the time of Ms death is near, he. teetifies again, "I am now ready to be offered, the time of my clepartare is near at hand'. I have foughea good fight. I have finished my course, :nave kept the faith.
