to be regarded as an abiding form
of literature, like the balled, the

diverting. A daring and picturesgie
foray into that borderland in vrhich
new words range as outlaws until

ture you will have to leave thie old
Planet and go Into the endless life

have Yost Made for the momentous

country where you would like to live
tbrough endless eternity, where you
would lilce to live trail time itself
Shell be no longer? Bove you in
readineee for .this eternal journey A
letter of credit 'made met at tile
Bank of Divine Grace? Have you
an eternal passport written in red
ink—written in the, blood which
flowea out of the wounded side of a
dying and an atoning Christ? • If
you have not such a letter of aredit,
you are lost indeed, even though in
this world you heti all the wealth of
Rothschild, a Vanderbilt, a Rbelse-
feller or an Astor, even though you
once on earth lived in Os magnificent
a mansion ats did Ilivoe: of old, at
whose gate the dogs were licking the
sores of a dying beggar, Shrouds
beve no pockets, and a skeleton's
bony linger:a can hold no gold, arid
all your worldly riches still then be
but dross, which you cannot carry
with you on that last journey. But,
if you have the letter of credit of
divine grace and the passport stamp-
ed with tbe crimson seal of Calvary,
then the long journey will be ac-
complished safely, and the gates of
the New Jerusalem will be opened
unto you, no matter how financially
P00? you may have been on earth,
because you aro pleading there for
admittance in Christ's name.
To further carry out the idea of
'my text, the true Chriselan should
look after the spiritual interests of
his children and loved ones ae well
as prepare for his own celestial
translation. The homestead 19 not a
hermitage, not a place built where a
man or woman or child can live in
solitary grandeur. But the house of
the text, implies tbe father and the
mether arid the children, the broth-
ers ahd the sisters, the kith and kin
and
THE MANY LOVED ONES.
All can live together in peace and
happiness within the sanse four walls
and as all the reembeas of a fainiry
dwcllillg within the same house ought
to have a &lemon interest, so you
cannot separate your own indevidual
spiritual interests from the spiritual
interests of your wife and children
and loved ones. •
The simile of .death as long
journey away from thefareily fire-
side is very striking. Wben a . man
takes a long earthly journey, he is
very apt to gather his family about
hien and say, "If 1 should take this
joerney in all probability I' will re-
turn honee at eruch and such a time,
or if the father is going into a new
inuntry to establish 'another home he
stfys to his children, "After I am
settled there ancl find everything all
right you can sell the goods and
Pack up and conie to me. I will be
in such and such a place at such
and such a time."
My brother, as you mutt take this
long journey through the valley of
the shadow of death with the divine
Passport in your hands, how can you
ever expect to rejoin your loved ones
sinless you make previous engorge-
ments with them where to meet ?
Having a letter of credit at the
Bank of Grace, yon say you expect
to journey to the Celeetial City.
Have you ever told yam' loved ones
about that. they ? Have you ever
told them how to get to *that centre
of 'theuniveree ? Have you ever
told them there is only one way to
reach your destination, mid that is
for them to obtain forgiveness of
their sias by the blood ef the Lamb,
eci that their heavealy advent shall
be made possible ? If it is anport-
ant for you to make spiritual pre-
parations for the Journey of death
by being washed in the Saviour s
blood, is it not just as important
for your loved ones to be cleansed
BY THE SAME BLOODa?
- But thereis one oserwhelming
thought about My text upon which
I love to dwell. If we go to the
throne of race in the right spirit of
prayer, God will let everyone of us
live as long es is necessary to do
the week he wants us to do in his
name. When the prephet lsaiith en-
tered the royal palace of Jerusalem!
and said to the sick Bezekiah, "Theis'
settle ehe Lord, set thine house in'
order; for thou elialt die," the king
turned his face toward the wall and
ljegan to Weep. Ilezeiciah was nrt
weeping becteme he had to die. He
I'ves not ahead tee die. But he wept
becaiise he' could 'net 'accomplish for
Goa and hie people that which seem-
ed emeeseary for 111111 to do. .Then,
in ansWer to Hezektah s preyee, God
eald to leelab the prophet, "Go end'
sap to -Hgeakiall, Thus sal th the Lord
the God of B2i+idtily fathee, have
heard the prae-er ;2 have seen the
Beablel - I. Well add unto thy

like Bezel:tale wie will pray in' the
right spleit, 0A1 evill let most of _us'
live long eemigh to early the gospel
message to all of our dear ones, as
well its to spiritually prepare for our
Oevn etersuel joerhey. But, as our
eaftelly time is short, in order to
make this spiritual preparation our-
selvee and to helP Matte the spiritual
preparation of cair loved ones by
bringhig them to the Saviour, .

WHEaT EISSING WAS PENAL.
Several such laws have been passed
at different times, and in the pre-
sent State of Connecticrit such a law
exists to the present dayin fact,
enter a short time ago, in 1891, a
etudent of Yale laniversity kiesed his
sweetheart in a restaurent in Bos-
ton. Both were sentenced to fifteen
days' finprisonment under a, law
passed in the time of Charles II.,
when Connecticut was a British
Colony. Linder the famous 00 111 -
fame -us -131'11e Laws of New England
111011 could be, and were lined and
oven put in the stocks for kiesing
their wives in public on Sunday. It
was considered to be "lewd and un-
seemly behaviour," according to the
morals of thole days. No se& law
has been actually passed in England
but in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, it was 9, penal offence for
a man to kiss his wife, or even his
children on Sundays% •and the pen-
alty foie such an offence was any-
thing from a line to doing penance
in the &Inch, or even being publicly
flogged. In those days, it was also
illegal in Scotism(' to take a walk
of over two miles on. Sundaysun-
less the destination was the chtirch.
leleJUVENATED WOMEN.
It is an extraordinary but incon-
testable fact that some women at
the age when most people dio under-
go a sort of natural process of re-
juvenation—hair and teeth grow
again, the wrinkles clisapr ear from
the skin, and sight and heaving (m-
egrim, their former sharpness. A
Marouiee.de aforabeau is an example
of this rare and remarkable pheno-
menon: She died at the ago of
eighty-six, but a few years before
her death she became in appearance
quite yoUng again. The same change
happened a nun of the name of Mat-
querite Verdur, who at the age of
eiXty-tem lest her wrinelee, regained
her eight and grew several new
teeth. When sh� died ten years later
her appearance was almost, thtet' of
a young girl.
