death of my intimate friend, Feary

for I had left on my study table at home

I have no doubt that he had enemies, for

His father dead, Henry W. Grady, a boy
fourteen yearsof age, took up the battle of
life, It would require a long chapter to re
cord the nauses of orphans who have omimie
to the top. When God takes away the head
of the household He very often gives to soma
iad in that housshold a special qualification
Christ remembers how that His own father
lied early, lsaving Him to support Himself
and His mother and His brothers in
the carpenter's shop at Nazareth,
und o is in sympathy with
all bovs and all young men in the struggle
Yon say: “Oh, i my father bad only lived I
would have had a better education and I
would have had a more promising start, and
thers are some wrinkles on my brow that
would not have been thers” But I have no-
ticed that God makes a special way for ore
phans. You would not have been bail the
man you ars if you had not been obliged
from your early days to fight your ows bat
gles. What other boys got of Yale or
Harvard you gotin fhe University of Hard
Knocks. Go among successful merchants
lawyers, physicians and men of all occupa-
tions and professions, and thers are many of
them who will tell you '"Atten, or twelve, or
fifteen years of age I started for myself;
father was sick, or father was dead”
But somehow they ot through and
got un. I secount for it by the fact that
there is = special dispensation of God for
orphans. All hail, the fatheriesa and the
motherioss The Lord Almighty will see
you through. Early obstacles for Mr, Grady
were only the means for devalopment of his
intellect and heart. And lo! when at thirty-
nine yenrs of ou he put down his and
close] his line for the perpeizal of bie
had done a work which many a man who
lives on to sixty and seventy and eighty
years never mecomplishes, There js a great
deal of senseless praise of longevity, aa
though it were a wonderful achisvement to
livea good while. Ab, my friends, itis not
how long we live, but how well we live and
how usefully we live. A man who lives to
sighty years and accomplishes nothing for
God or humanity might better have never
lived as all. Methusalsh lived nine hundred
and sixty-nine years, and what did it
amount fo! In all those more than nine
centuries he did not sccomplish anythin
which sesrned worth record Paul liv
only a little more than sixty, but how many
Methusalehs would it take tosnake one Paul?
Who would not rather have Pegpl's sixty
years than Methusaleh's nine bundred and
siaty-nine?, Robert MoCheyne dled at thirty
years of age aad John at
twenty-seven years of age,
nor heaven will ever hear

can beat you at that, for it lives a hundred
and fifty and two hundred years. Seay

not ashamed to bow to Christ. Among his

prayers of the churches iz his behalf.
There was that particular quality in him
that you do not find in more than one person
out of hundreds of thousands—namely, per
suomi tag aetisas, People have tried to de-
fine that quality, snd always failed, yet we
have all felt its power. There are some per-
sons who have only to enter a room or step
upon a platform or into a pulpit and you are
thrilled by their presence, and when they
k your nature responds and you cannot
help it. What is the peculiar influence with
which such a magnetic person takes hold of
social groups and audiences? Without at-
tempting to define this, which is inde.
finable, i will say it seems to correspond te
the waves of air set in motion by the voice or
the movements of the body. Just like that
ual vibration which rolls out frem the
soul of what we call a magnetic person,
As there may be a cord or rope binding bod-
jes together, there may be an invisible cord
binding souls, A magnetic man throws it
over others as a hunter throws a lasso. Mr.
Grady was surcharged with this influence,

Yon may not know why, in the conversa-
