Frank Do Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text: Matthew xix, 14, "StarerJiLtip ehildren, and forbid them not, to 001810 unto 010." This is ChhIsdreit's day. This is the morning when the Sunday schools Of America, headed by their superintendents and teachers, have made a grand charge and captured the pulpits tend pews and choir lofts of all Protestant churches for their own sacred service. This is the day When the church auditoriums are, for the most part, fragrant with two kinds of flowers.

That day first came when WO sent her to school, It was a sad time for the parental heart when our oldest child had to Pack her little school books and leave home. Her mother took her up to a great big room filled with little boys and girls and left her there. In that school we knew that there wero bad girls as well as good girls, bad boys as well as good boys, and she had to sit there and associate to some extent with them all, Now, who is going to look after my little girl when she goes to meet the tone -na- tions of school unless Christ, who aro also tho human buds which were gathered out of the nurseries of many homes.

We know not which to admire most -.the pale lilies in the cheeks, the red roses in the lips, the goldenrod dancing among the yellow curls or the roguish glances of theso "black eyed Sus- ans." if any one should ask. me what X considered the most import- ant day in the ehureh year, without hesitation X would answer, Child- ren's day. This is the Sabbath morning when parents not only bring their children to the churches where Clusist is reached, but when their own thoughts, I believe, are irresistibly drawn toward the divine teachings. If a father cannot feel his affections stirred with love to. ward God when his little girl is singing her Saviour's praise in the holy sanctuary, his heart Inust be indeed as dead as a stone, This is children's day. I would talk to the children fo.r a little while about one of the sweetest scenes in all the Bible. There was a great Crowd jostling and pushing about jesus Christ. It was the time of the Saviour's earthly popularity. Every ono wanted to speak to Christ, CONSIDER THE CHILDREN. But in the crowd surrounding Christ there was also a lot of on- synepathetie men and women. They belonged to that great clam of peo- ple who think that children are a born nuisance and that they should never be seen and never heard in p-ublie, places. They think, if they go and visit a married friend, that friend should have his children eat in the Ideation while they are there, or oleo have the children wait until the older folks axe through and then go to the second table. Now, I do not believe that is the right way to bring up boys and gees. If my friends who visit my homIl aro not willing to eat at the same table with my babies they need not come and 11511 MC at Mi. I am Just headstrong enough to believe that what is good enough for smy child- ren is good enotigh for my friends. Them 1)07.0 801110 men that day, too, who followed Jesus wherever he went and were called his disciples. They knew how precious every word he uttered was and how many sick and blind and deaf people he was curing, and they did not want his time taken up with iittIu childeen. So these disciples told the fathers arid mothers not to bother Jesus with their children. They said; "Here, fathers and mothers, what are you bringing those chilchon here for? Why do you not take them home, where they belong?" But Jesus, hearing the cornmotioe, stop- ped and asked the cense. Then when Christ heard that these men wore driving the babies train his side he turned and ensaCtieally• said: "Alt that is not right. Do not push those little ones away, Open a path there rind let the children mine to my hems and be blessed." Then he uttered the sweet words- of my toxt, "Softer little children, and feebid them not, to come unto '10e, erort," of such is the kingdom of hea- t Christ gave this sweeping invite, ion to all children to he brought to his arms, Therefore I ehall try, Wilaren, it a few" plain, simple Words to tell why it is important — very important—for you to moue to Christ while you are young.

Little ohildren should come to Cliirlst soon, very soon. Their kohristiali fathers and mothers will not be able much longer to shield • them from the evil temptations as they have been able to do, When My little boys and girls were at home I could do what 3 pleased with them. X could say "Susan" or "Geri:lode 01' '"Dhoiesee De Witt" or "Frank"— for I have four children — "I wish you woOld not associate with that little boy you were with this morn - Ins." And if ono of iny 1iltle ghee should say, "Why, papa?" X \mold atswer: "I do not think ho is a eice little boy.

That little boy, who after- ward grew up to be a big man, had to go through life with his eye blinded. I knew of another little boy who, because he did not hav Christ with him'wanted to frighten O Playmate, as had boys sometemes do. Ho pushed 111411 from a bank into a river and the littio boy was dreamed, I saw his poor little body after it was teken out of the water and I heard the broken heart, ed mothee weeping over it.

Than, alter awhile, you mast go still farther away from the protect- ing care of your' parents. As young men and women you must go out in- to the great wide world and live en- tirely away from home, You must be like your father teed mother and earn your own living. Then, if you do not have Jesus by your side, there are many, many temptations which will beset you and trip you p. Are you now going to drive Christ away front your heart and life? Remember he is your chief pro Lector. A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD. But there is aitother reason, chil- dren, why you should come to Christ, and that is so that you can bring your father and mother, big brothers and sisters along with you to Christ. 011, 110W many 0111101011 there are here whose fathere never ask a blessing at the table or have family prayers by the home altar! Oh, how many little ehildeen Were aro hero whose fathers and mothers and big brothers and sisters are drifting out ioto a, life of sin merely because thoy _have never answered the pleading call of Jesus and have not come and 'Melt at the Saviour's feet!

Do you not realize, boys and girls, that as the Bible describes the day of millennium as the time when "the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the little child shall load them" the greatest gospel Inessengers who ever lived are the little children who are leading the grown up peo- ple to the foot of the cross? Boys alui girls, if you have a, fa- ther who never goes to church, what a good thing it would be if you could bring him! ty Suppose you ehould go home from this service and clamber up ieto his lap and say: "Papa, why do not ,you come to church?

Ho would be doing just as that great lawyer and statesman of Philadelphia did a few years ago. He was home from Washington for a little while on a vacation, While he was sitting in tho parlor his little eix-year-old daughter rushed into the room, crying: "011, papa, I have learned to read.

Beautiful picture thati And yet it is the pic- ture which is seen in every true par- ent's life. We always should have our babies hanging upon us. And the way WC go into the kingdom of jesus Christ will often decide the way our children will follow. Fathers and mothers, will you start for heaven to -day as a grand climax to this children's day festival? Stand- ing amid this beautiful human flow- er garden of little del:leen, I have ono more word to speak. I congra- tulate this church because it places its chief emphasis in the place Noliere it belongs. Next to tho prayer meeting the most iinportant of ser- vices is tho Sunday sehool session. May Clod bless tho Sunday school 'superintendents of America. May God bless the teachers and the other Sunday school officers. May God bless the scholars, and may every 'Sabbath be a children's day. No Sunday shoeld bo allowed to pass in any Christian church without some boy and some girl being led to seek Christ, the one who always has loved and always will love little children. TIIE S. S.

Now, therefore, hearken unto their voice; howbeit yet proteat sol- emnly unto them and shew them the manner of the King that shall reign over them, The Lord assures Samuel that this misconduct of Israel is nothing new, that Over 811100 they left, Egypt they have acted thus toward Him and that Samuel rnust not feel slighted or injured, but accept it all as fel- lowship with Cod Himself.

God wants; eheerfel, willing service, the love of Christ cone:raining. He does not love that which is done grudg- ingly. The Lord loved a cheerful giver ((T. Cor. ix., 7). But when He sees people determined to have their own way He sometimes gives them their request, though it brings leanness into thole souls (Ps. evi., 151. 10.

Then when the people insist, not- withstanding, on having this king "Samuel heard all the words of the people, and ho rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord" (verse 21). Me is no man pleaser; he speaks the messages intrusted to him faithfully, leaving results to Cod (Jer xxiii., 28; Gal, 1., 10). A God of love will not lot His people rush into ruin blindly, 1101' Neill He overthrow Eris enemies without offering tbein mercy as He did to the people of Noah's time before the flood and al- so to Pharaoh and his people.

The president of the committee re- »varked that for many years past people /lad been trying to improve the breed of cattle, horses, end oven pigs, now it was the turn of the human race.

Such news as leaks out of 1111,n -e churla Is till corroborative of the opinion that Russia, while nominal- ly evacuating the province, is reels. ly strengthening her hold Upon it, This sho is enabled to do by the treaty stipulations which permit her to protect the Manchurian railroad, • It would be dififeult for ally Power other than Russia to deter:rein° just what steps are necessary for the safe! maintenance of the line. As long as Russia asserts that the building of strategio roads and the quarter- ing of Russian troops in various towns and cities aro essential to her legitimate interests it is hard for her rivals to gainsay her.

Russian officers, frieedly with Chinese, have earnestly advised them 110 return to their families in China and not come back -until af- ter the war, on the ground that the whole of Littotung and Southern Manchuria will soon be a great bat- tlefield." The last sentence, if true, indicates the feelings of the Itoseian army 31/711, although it does -not prove the intentions of the Russian Government. f WORK 13IARD AND LOOK YOUNG., Is it hand week that makes people grow old, oir is it because they do not have enough to do, or, rather, die not find the thing they aro best fitted to do?
