them or a doxology., There is no such
thing as negative influnce, We are
all positive in the place we occupy,
making the world better or making it
worse, on thie Lord's side or on the
devil’s, making up reasons for our
blessedness or banishment; and we have
already done work In
PEOPLING HEAVEN OR HELL,
1 bear people tell of what they are go-
ing to do. A man who has burned
down a city might as well talk of some
evil that he expects to do, or a Iman
who has saved an empire might as well
talk of some good that he expects to do.
By the force of your evil influence you
have already consumed infinite values;
or you have, by the power of a right
influence, won whole kingdoms for
God,
It would be absurd for me to stand
here, and, by elaborate argument,
prove that the world is off the track.
You might as well stand at the foot of |
an embankment, amid the wreck of a
capsized rail-train, proving by elaborate |
argument that something is out of or- |
der. Adam tumbled over the emnbank-
went sixty centuries ago, and the whole |
race, in one long train, has
tumbling in the same direction. Crash!
crash! The only question now is, by
what leverage can the crushed thing be
lifted? By what hammer may the
fragments be reconstructed? 1 want
to show you
HOW WE MAY TURN MANY |
to righteousness, and what will be our |
future pay for so doing.
First. We may turn them by the
charm of a right example, A child com- |
ing from a filthy home, was taught at |
school to wash its face. It went home |
so much improved in appearance that |
its mother washed her face. And when |
the father of the household came home, |
and saw the improvement in domestic |
appearance, he washed his face, The |
neighbors happening in, saw the change |
and tried the same experiment, until |
all that street was purified, and the |
next street copied its example, and the |
whole city felt the result of one schools |
boy washing his face, That is a fable, |
by which we set forth that the best way
to get the world washed of its sins and |
gone on |
pollution, is to have our own heart and |
life cleansed and purified. A man with |
race in his heart, and Christian cheer-
ulness in his face, and holy consistency |
in his behavior, is a perpetual sermon;
and the sermon differs from others in
that it has but one head, and the longer
it runs, the better.
There are honest men who walk |
down Wall Street, making the teeth of
iniquity chatter. There are happy men
who go into a sick-room, and, by a
look, help the broken bone to knit, and |
the excited nerves drop to a calm beat- |
ing. There are pure men whose pres- |
ence silences the tongue of uncleanuess,
THE MIGHTIEST AGENT
of good on earth Is a consistent Chris- |
tian. I like the Bible folded between
lids of cloth, of calfskin, or morocco,
but I like it better when, in the shape
i'f a man, it goes out into the world |
«3 Bible illustrated, Courage is beauti- |
ful to read about; but rather would 1
see a man with all the world against
him, cvnfident as though all the world
were for him. Patience is beautiful to
read about; but rather would I seea
buffeted soul calmly waiting for the |
time of deliverance. Faith is beauti. |
ful to read about; but rather would 1
find a man in the midnight walking
siraight on as though he saw every- |
thing. Oh, how many souls have been
turned to God by the charm of a bright
example!
When, in the Mexican War, the
troops were wavering, a general rose in
his stirrups and dashed into the enemy's
lines, shouting, ‘Men, follow mel"
They, seeing his courage and disposi.
tion, dashed on after him and gained |
the victory. What men want to rally |
them for God is an example to lead |
them. All your commands to others |
to advance amount to nothing so long |
as you stay behind, To affect them
aright, you need to start for heaven |
yourself, looking back only to give the |
stirring ery of, “Men, follow!”’ :
Again: We may turn maoy to right. |
£OUSICSS
BY PRAYER. :
‘There is no such detective as prayer, |
tor no one can hide away from it, It]
puts its hand on ths shoulder of a man |
ten thousand miles off, It alights on a |
ship mid-Atlantic, The little child
cannot understaud the law of electric-
ity, or how the telegraphic operator, by
touching the Instrument hiere, may dart
a message under the sea to another con-
Linent; nor can we, with our small in-
teliect understand how the touch of a
Christian’s prayer shall instantly strike
a soul on the other side of the earth.
You take ship and go to some other
country, and get there at eleven o'clock
in the morning. You telegraph to New
York, and the message gets here at six
H'clock in the same morning. In other
words, it seems to arrive here five hours
before it started. Like that is prayer.

hear,”” To overtake a loved one on the

toward Dublin and prayed, and there

The breath of Elijah’s prayer blew all
the clouds together, and it was wel
weather. Prayer, in Daniel's time,
walked the cave as a lion-tamer, It
reached up, and took the sun by iis
golden bit, and stopped it,
WHAT PRAYER CAN DO.
We have all yet to try the full power
of prayer, The time will come when
the American Church will pray with its
face towards the West, and all the
prairies and inland cities will surrender
to God; and will pray with face toward
the sea, and all the islands and ships
will become Christian, Iarents who
have wayward sons will get down on
their knees and say: ‘Lord, send my
boy home,” and the boy in Canton
shall get right up from the gaming
table, and go down to find out which
ship starts first for America,
Not one of us yet knows how to pray
All we have done as yet has ouly been
pottering. A boy gets hold of his]
father’s saw and hammer, and tries to |
make something, but it isa poor affair |
that he makes. The father comes and |
takes the same saw and hammer, and |
builds the house or the ship. In the]

er than the lark ever sang; plunges |
deeper than diving-bell ever sank; darts |
quicker than lightning ever flashed, |
Though we have used only the back of |
this weapon instead of the edge, what
marvels have been wrought! If saved, |
we are all the captives of some earnest

My |
text promises to all the faithful eternal |
Justre, **They that turn many to right- |
eousness shall shine as the stars for-
ever.” As stars, the redeemed have a |
borrowed light. What makes Mars
and Venus and Jupiter so luminous?
When the sun throws down his torch
in the heavens, the stars pick up the
scattered brands, and hold them in pro-
cession as the queen of the night ad- |
vances: so all Christian workers, stand.
‘ug around the throne, will shine in the |
light borrowed from the Son of Righte-
ousness—Jesus in their faces, Jesus in |
their songs, Jesus in their triamph.
Christ left heaven once for a tour of
redemption on earth, yet the glorified |
ones knew He would come back again
But let Him abdicate His throne, and |
go away to stay for ever, the music
But is all this
rivers of light stagnate; and every |
chariot would become a hearse, and
every bell would toll, and there would |
not be room on the hillsides to bury the |
dead of the great metropolis, for there |
would be pestilence in heaven, But |
Jesus lives, and so all the redeemed live |
with Him. He shall recognize them as
His comrades in earthly toil. and re-
member what they did for the honor of
His name and for the speed of His
kingdom. All their prayers and tears
and work will rise before Him as He
looks into their faces, and He will di-
vide His kingdom with them; His peace
their peace; His holiness—their holi-
ness; His joy—their joy. The glory of
the central throne reflected from the
surrounding thrones, the last spot of
sin struck from the Christian orb, and
the entire nature a-tremble and a-flash
with light, they shall shine as the stars
for ever aud ever.
Again: Christian workers shall be
like the stars in the fact that they

tinet light as the stars, for ever and

Again;
like the
STARS IN CLUSTERS,
In looking up, you find the worlds in
family circles, Brothers and sisters —
they take hold of each other's hands
and dance in groups. Orion in a group,
The Pleiades in a group. The solar
system is only a company of children,
with bright faces, gatherad around one
great fireplace, The wosds do not
struggle off. They go in squadrons and
and fleets, sailing through immensity,
So Christian workers in heaven will
dwell in neighborhoods and clusters.

are not swift in comparison with
motion of which I speak. The moon
moves fifty-four thousand miles in
day. Yonder, Neptune flashes on eleven
thousand miles in an hour. Yonder
Mercury goes one hundred and nine
thousand miles in an hour, So like the
stars the Christian shall shine in swift-
ness of motion.
You hear now of father or mother or
child sick one thousand miles away, and
it takes you two days to get to them.
You hear of some case of suffering that
demands your immediate attention, but
it takes you an hour to get there, Oh,
the joy when you shall, in fulilment of
the text, take starry speed, and be equal
to one hundred thousand miles an hour!
Having on earth got used to Christian
work, you will not quit when death
strikes you. You will only take on |
more velocity. There is a dying child
in London, and its spirit must be taken
up to God: you are there in an instant |
to do it. There is a young man in New
York to be arrested from going into that |
gate of sin: you are there in an instant |
to arrest him. Whether with spring of |
foot, or stroke of wing, or by the force |
of some new law that shall burl you to |
the spot where you would go, I know
not; but my text suggests velocity, All
space open before you, with nothing to
hinder you in mission of light and love
and joy, you shall shine in swiftness of
motion as the stars for ever and ever.
Again: Christian workers, like the
stars,

The Grand Lama Of Thibet.
A recent number of the Perkin Gazette
contains a memorial to the Emperor
from the Chinese Resident at I"Hassa
stating that a certain Thibetan official,
who is called the Nomenhan of Ulberior
Thibet, reported to him that he had
found three young boys of remarkable
intelligence and strangeness, into one of
whom, beyond a doubt, the spirit of the
late Lama of Teshulumbe (one of the
two supreme poiutiffs) had passed,
Hereupon the Resident sent a reporter
to Perkin, asking that the ceremony of
might be permitted. By the time the
authority arrived the Nomenhan with
the children had reached "Hassa, and a
lucky day was chosen for the ceremony.
The golden vase in which the lots are
cast was brought and placed before the
image of the Emperor. Prayers were
chanted before the assembled Lamas,
and the children were conducted into
the presence of the Resident and the
Thibetan authorities in order that their
persons might be tested
the memorial Stops, the Wier promising
that as soon as lots are cast and the
selection made he will report the result,
