After the invitations to a levee are
sent out the regrets come in. Ono
man apologises for non-attendance on
one ground, another on another
ground. The most of the regrets are
founded on prior engagemente. So

All poor reasons. The fact was, '
they did not want to go, "And they
all with one consent began to nlako
excuse,''
So now God spreads a great ban-
quet. It is tha gospel feast; and
the table reathes across the hemis-
pheres, and the invitations go out,
and multitudes come and sit clown
and drink out of the chalices of God's
love, While other milltitudes decline
coming, the one giving this apology, •
and the other giving. that apology,
"and they all with ono consent be-
gin to make excuse," I propose, sci
far a d a helpe, to examine'
the apologies -Which men ufalee •for .
not entering the Christian life,
Apology the. drst : I .am not sure
there is anything. valuable in. the
Christian religion. It • is pleaded
• that there are so- many impositions
in this day; so many things that
seem to :be real are sham, ' A gilded •
outside may haver, a hollow inside.
There is ecx much quackery in Phys-
ics, in ethics', in politics, that men
come to the -habit ol incredulity, eatcl
after awhile- they allow that incred-
ulity t� collide with Our. holy re- •
ligion. But, my friends, I think .re-••
ligion has made a Pretty good re -
'cord in the world. • How- Many

I can see how men reason them -
Selves into skepticism. With burning

There are mett in the arid desert of

ands of dears if they could get
back to the old religionof their fa-
thers. Such men are not to be cari-
catured, but helped, and not through
their •heads, but through their hearts.
When . the men really do come into
