For thirty -Ave year fs his pul- pit was the sole business of his life, He lived and breathed and at and slept and walked and nursed his Strength only for that. When he went 011 lecturing 'tours, it. was not to Make money or to take pleasure, but to get away from his home tasks so that he could come hack refresh- ed to do more valiant service foe Christ. • Every family physician who entered our home declared that the rest of railroad travel had been his physical salvation, -It forced him to • the repose that he would not other- wise allow to himself. He was a genius, but he developed every one a his ten talents by the hardest kind of mental and physical &triplication. No labor for him, was too full. of drudgery. Morning, noon and night found him in Ms study. He took . physical exercise not for pleasure, but to fit himself for the pulpit. lie lived not to eatbut he ate so that he could live. He placed his standard very high, and into eV- ery Elermon he' put his best thought, He used to say to me: "Frank, do not make, the mistake of many liter- ary men. They say to themselves, I will save that thought and put it into another speech or article. Give to the world thebest you • have. Crowd everything iat that strengthens an argument, but always s-trive for quality and not for quantity." When a theological student, I wanted to • occupy for some weeks the pulpit of a small country church. He uttered his protest, saying, "You ought to spend at least three months upon your that sermon, writing upon it from six to tea hours a day!". What a testimony is -this to his own Care- ful work,coming from the cold lips which are now closed in the casket. Nt hat a homiletic lecture it is for the young ministers, for the young law- yers and budding sfateemen who enitintain that the oratorical art is a divine -gift 'which ,lia;a no need for ' struggling upon the .rough Mountain tilde of'. drudgery. What a elation • note it is; etinanonieg all men -and *Omen to do their best tinder all conditions. The lessen is as power- ful foe the merchant of ten :talents as for the clerk of taaa talents. To hirn. that hath not shall be taken away even that which he bath. , There is however, a warningthat • comes , from' myfather's intense ap- plication to work • which deserves • the attentionof all those who are 'bending their physical, , mental. and spiritual . energies . to accomplish something in life's striiggle." About • twenty -live .years ago: the . first •dare: ger signal was lifted when .insomnia, like a hideous spectre,- sat at • the 'foot, of his bed and.. refused to let hint Sleep.

Reputation is what the world thinks abOlib ft man. Character is what, lie really is. Reputation may be wrong. Character is an actual fact. Man looketh upon the out- ward appearance; God. looketh upon the heart. But I have semetimes felt that God has made it possible for other eyes, as well. as his °WA all geeing eye, to look into a man's , heart. The child has the opportun- I ity and the privilege of looking into the parent's heart. When a boy liVes for years by the side of a fa- ther, he knows what are the ruling principles of his life, its strongest inetives and fundamental beliefs. When I lived at home or traveled by my father's side, contirtually with him for weeks or months at a time, I formed the conviction that he was as good a man as • ever lived. I loved to hear him preach, because knew and could testify that his ePok-• • en words were the echo of a sweet, gentle, loving Christian, life, a, We which weer being lived for God. It was because my .father's sermons Were the precincts of a Spirit filled life that the millions. were able to Ond comfort In them. Whenever he Would take a lecture trip the 'People would crowd about him bar thethou- ands, uttering such greetings .as "I read your sermon upon 'Recognitien of Friends In ileairen' to my mother when she was' dying;" "I reed this or that when , .was. dn. a certain trouble, and the sermon brought light to my soul." Let no hearer or reader of this sermon think for • one instant, that my father's work was e- inem, made work, fly father's work was a' divinely inspired work. He was called as certainly • to de his work ea Paul • and Peter :and John were celled to do .theirs. Ile was hispired' by prayer . and communion - with God, and just as certainly may We . In our work be inspirer' if • we plead for the gift of the Holy Spirit; Would. yeti. go with me into the death chamber ?

Ile took up . his cross in the same cheerful, hopeful ite before, though the Wound in. Isis heart never healed. Irealways carried a scar Which was cut by the gravedigger's spade. Yes, he had his troubles, but lie always main-. tained a brave heart and made the most out of life by being cheerful, My father's best .sermon was the daily life which he lived in his own home. I bear my testimony to the fact that front my boyhood Until the time that I entered my own paraari- age and was ordained by him for my own pulpit I had before me the ex-, ample and •upon me the sweet infitt- • elle° of a Christian home. • There never was in America a happier or more prayerful home than that of Whieh he was the head.

At that very tline the Messengere trent Cornelius were near to Joppa, and it Waif necessary that Peter should be ready to receive there and go with them, which be certainly would not have done but for this special visiou. It is beautiful to see Clod' preparing His servants for the good Werhg wbuleb lias- prepared for thew. 11, 12. The Spirit bade me go with them.

Chapter x, 44, says, "While Peter yet spoke these words the Holy.Ghost fell on all them which beard- the word."
