So (it is all the way down. I suppose that the last time Methuselah was out of doors in a storm :he was afraid of getting hir feet Wet lest it shorten his days. Incleed,, I some time ago preached a sermon on the blessings of longevity, but in this; the last day of 1893, and when many are filled with sad- ness at the thought that another chapter of their life is closing, and that they *have 362 days less to. live, I propose to preach to you about lie , advantages of an abbreviated earthlylexistence. man is blessed in proportion to the number of years he can stay on "terra firma," because -after Which he falls off 1\ the docket and if he is ever picked out of ,the depths it is only to be set up in, some morg e of the universe to see if God made elie to last forty ot fifty or a hundred years, and then he . wet to go business ought to be to "keep alive and even in good weather to be very cau- tious, anc3 to carry an umbrella and take overshoes; and lifekpreservers, and bronze armbr, and ,weapons of defence less he fall Off into nothingness and ob- literation. . But, my friends, you are not agnos- tics. 'You believe in: SMmortalitv and the eternal residence of the righteous in : Heaven, and therefore I first remark to be desired, and is- a blessing because it makes,one's lite work very compact. Some men go to bueiness at seven o'clock in the morning , and return at seven., in the evening. Others . go at eight and return at twelve. ' Others go at ten and retarn at four. I have -friends who are ten hours a day in busi- ness, others who are • five hours, others who are one hour. They all do their work well • the'y do their entire work and then tiey return. Which position do you think the most desirable ? You say, tether things being equal, the man who is the shortest time detained . in business and who can return home the quickest is the most blessed. Now, my friends, why not carry •that good sense into the subject of transference from this world? If a person die in childhood. he gets through his 'work at nine o'clock in the morning. If he die at forty-five yeare of age, he gets through his work at twelve o'clock boon. If he die. at seventy years of age, he gets through his work at five o'clock in the afteru,00n. If he die at ninety, he has to tOil all the way on up to- eleven o'clock at night. The sooner we get through our work the better.. The harvest all in barrack or barn, the farmer does -not sit down in the stulsble field, but shouldering his scythe. and taking his pitcher from under a tree, he makes a straight line for the old homestead: All we want to be anxious about is te get mil. work done and . well done ; the quicker the Again: There is a blessing in an ab- brevitated earthly existence .in the fact that moral disaster . might come upon. the man if he tarried longer. A man who had 0 been prominent in churches, - and who had been admired for his gen-. erosity and Iindness everywhere, for forgery%was sent to State prison for fif- teen years. . 'Twenty years before'there was no more probability of that man's conimitting. a commercial dishonesty. The number Of men who fan ioto ruin between fifty and seventy years of age is eimply appaling. If they. had died thirty years. before it woukl, have • been better for them and better for their families. The shorter the voyage the less chance for a cyclone. ' There is a wrong theory abroad that a one's youth be rig,ht his' old age will be right. 'You might as well.saY there is nothing \ranting for a ships safety ex- cept to get it fully launched on the Ate lantio'Oeean. I have sometimes asked • those who were school mates or c -11ege mates of sonie great defaulter, "What kind of a boy was he?

'The fact is the great tempta- tion of life sometimes comes on in mid The first. time I crossed the Atlantic Ocenn it was as smooth as a mill pond, end I thought the sea captains and the voyagers had slandered the old ocean, and I wrote home an essay for a maga- zine on -The SMile of the •SeaS" but I never afterward could have written that thing, for before we got' hOme we got a terrible shaking up.- The first voyage of li!'e may be very sinootli; the last may a 'euroclydon.

The solid and the perManint fortunes for *almost part do not come to their climax untilin mid liff4 or in old ige. The most _of the bank presiderte have white- hair. Many of those who have been largely succesidul have been flung of arrogance or worldliness of dissipation in old age.. They may not have lost their integrity, -but they have become so worldly and so selfish under the influence of large success that it is evident to everybody that their success hae'been a temporal calamity and an eternal dam- age. Concerning many people it may be said at seems as if it would have been if they could have embarked from Ms life at twenty or thirty yeats of age. Do, you know the reason why the vast majority of people die before thirty-five? is because they have not the moral endurance for that wl;rich is beyond the thirty, and a inercifukGod will not al- low theni to belput to the fearful "strain. Again:, There is a blessing in an ab- breirtated earthly existence in the fact that one the sootier taken off the de- fensive. As soon at one is aid enpugh to take care of himself he is put. on his guard. Bolts on the dOur to keep out the robbers. Fire -proof eafee ed keep off the flames. Life insurance and fire int surance against accident. Receipts less you have to pay: a debt twice, Life- boat against shipwreck. Westinghouse air brakes against railroad collision. There are many ready to overreach you and take all you have. Defence against cold, defence against heat, defence egainst sickness, defence against the tvorld's abuse, defence all the wav down to the grave, And even the tembstone sometimes is not a sufficient barricadel' If a wither who has been on guard, shivering and stung with the cold,pacing up andelown the parapet with shoulder- ed muaket, is glad when someone comets to relieve guard and he can go inside the fortress ought not that_ man to shout for joy wile cap put down his weapon of earthly defence and go into the King's castle? Who is the more fortunate, the soldier who has to stand guard twelie hoa-s? We have comirion sense about everythibg but. religion, common sense about everything but transference frOm this world._ Again, there is a blessing in an ale- breviated earthly- existence in the fact ,that one eecapes so many bereavenneOts. The longer, we live the more attach- ments and the.more kindred, the more chords to be wounded or rasped or sun- dered. If a man live on to seventy or eighty years of age, how many graves are cleft at his feet ? In that long reach of time father_ and mother go, brothers \and sisters go, children go, grandchildren go personal friends out- side the family circle, whom they had loved with a love like that of David and Beside that, some men have a natural trepidation. about dissolution, end ever and anon during forty or fifty or sixty . years, this horror of their dissolution shudders through soul.and body. Now, Suppose the lad goes at sixteen years of age ? He eseapes fifty funerals. fifty caskets, fifty obsequies, fifty awful wrenchings of the heart. It is hard enough for us to bear( their departure, but is it not easier foreie to bear their departure than fez. them eo stay aod bear fitty departures ?

At this 4distance. of dine, which - do you think was, the one . to be con- gratulatedethe shorttlived child or the longslived father ? Had David died as early as that child died. he would,in the first place, havo escaped that particular bereavement ; theu he would have , es- caped the worst bereaverneut of Absa- lom, his tecreant son, end the pursult.of the Philistines, and the. fatigue of his military campaign, and the jealousy of Saute and s the :perfidy of •Allishophel, and the Corse of Shiutei.and the destrua- ofilialamily at Ziklag, and above all,he weuld have escaped the two great calamities of his life, the great sin of un- cleannese and murder. David lived tO .130 Of vast USb to the Church and the. w Geld, but se -far as his own happiness was con'cereed, does it not seem to you - that it eyould have been -better for him to have' vile early ? e Now, this, :my friends, explains some things that to yonhave been inexplicible. This shows- you why, when God takes little children from a hoesehold, he is very apt to take the btightest, the Most genial, the meet .sympathetic, the most talented. Why? • It is because that kind of oatere suffers the most whep it does suffer, and is most liable to temptation. God saw the tempest sweeping up from the Caribbean, and he put the delicate craft into the first harbor. "Taken away fiom the evil to come." Again, my friends, there is a blessing in an abbreviated earthly eicistence in the fact that it.Iputs one sooner in the .centre of things. Ali astronomers, in- fidel as well ass Christian, agree in be- lieving' that the universe swings around some great centre. Any one who has , studied the Heavens knows that G-ocl's' favorite.figure in geometry is a circle. When God put forth his hand to .dreate the universe, he did not strike that hand at right angles, but he waved it in a circle until °systems and constellations and galaxies and all worlds took that motion. Our planet swinging around the sun, other planets swinging aronnd other suns, but somewhere a great hub around which the great wheel of the universe tutns. Now,- that centre is Heaven. Thank; tl*' capital of the universe. That is tIZ. great metropolis of immensity. NOW, -.does not our common sense teach us tbat in matters of study it is better for ns to move out from- the cen- ter toward the eircumference, rather than to be on the circumference where our world now is? We are like those - who study the American continent while *ending on the Atlantic beach. The - way to study the continent is to cross it, or go to the heart of it. Our stand-, point in this World is defective. We are at the wrong eed of the telescope,, The best way to Study a piece q- mat chinery is not to stand- at the doorstep and try to look in,. but to go in with the Through eh kin& of -optical inetruineuts trying to ipeer in through the -cracks and the -keyholes of heeven-eafralu that WWI - doors of the- cedeetial mansion win be : fision—rtiehing about among the apethe. cary tihope Of this. world, wondering li tine is good for thennitatism, and that le good for netralgiat and eteinethlng dant is goodtfor a bad cough, lest we be sud- denly ushered into a land -of everlasting . health, where the inhabitant never ;says, Weat fools we an are to prefer the circumference to the coulee.

How glad we ought to feel tint& they will never have to 'come through the struggles which we. have - had to go throug,h. They had justtime enough to get out of the 'cradle and run up the spriugteine hills of this world ande see how it looked, aod then they start- ed • for, a better stOpping-place. They were like ships that put it at St. Helena sengers go up and see the barracks of Napoleon's captivity, and boist sail for the - port; of their. own native, land.

After life had departed, his face was illuminat- ed ' as though he were . „just goine ieto - harbor. The fact was lie had already gone through the "Nar- rows." In the adjoining room were the Christmas presents waiting _for his disteibution. Long ago, one night when he had narrowly escaped with his ship feom being run down 'by a great - 'ocean steamer,, he lied made 'his peace with God, and a kinder neighbor ,or a better' man you would not find thie stde of Heaven. Without a moment's` warn- ing, the pilot of the Heavenly :harbor, had met hirn just off the light -ship. The captahrOften talked to me of the gOod- ness of 'God, and -especially of a time whent he was abelat to go ,in New . York -harbor with his' ship front Liverpool, and he wile . suddenly impressed that ' he ought to put back to sea. Under the protest of the crew and under their very - threat, he put 'beck to sea, fearing at the same time he wee losine his mind, for it did seem so unreasonable that when they could get into harbor that night they could put back to sea. But they put back to -sea, and, the &plain said to his Mate, "You call me at ten o'clock at night." . At twelve c'clock -at night the captain was aroused, and said: "What does this mean? I thought I told you to call me at ten o'clock, and here it is twelve." "Why," said the mate, "I did 'cell you at ten o'clock, and you got up, -looked around and told me to keep right. on this same course for two hours, and then to call you et twelve o'clock." Said the captain, "Is it possi- ble.? I have no reniemorance of that." - At twelve o'clocic the captain went on, dela, and through the rift of the cloud.' tIO moonlight fell upon the sea and showed him a shipwreck with -one hun- dred struggling 'passengers.
