If on» stocks holder becomes a cheat, doas that destroy the whole company? { one soldier be acoward, does that condemn the whole army? And yet there are many in this day so unphiluso- phic, so il ozical, so dishonest and s2 uatair as to denounce the entire church of Go { be cause there are here and there bad men bho- longing tit, There are those who say that the church of God is not up to the spirit of the day in which we L.ve; but I have to tell you that, notwithstandiog all the swift wheels and toe flying shuttles and the lightning ecommuni- cations, the world has never vet been able to keep up with the church. As hizh as God is above man, so hizh is toe churcn of God —higher than all human institutions. From her lamp the best discoveries of the world have been lighted. Tha best of our inventors have believed in the Christian re igion-—the Fultons, the Morsas, the W hitneys, the Perrys and the Livingstones, She has owned the Lest of the telescopes and Lovden jars, and while infidelity and atheism have blindiolded amon z the most startling dis- coveries that wer ped the earth, and the air, and the sea have mae quick and maguificent res hristain philosophers, The world will not be 1 Christ until the day so has belo and all governments governments, and all nations, and the ast death shall be brosen voiced shout of nations bor church that Nebuchad in the furancs, and I with the lions, and with the sword, ha floods and endurin » est barbarism, and the black compelled to I is she that loo fair as the moon, clear as the ble as an army with banusrs?

EWAYS her sceptre over island and contine sea. Under ber shining the plaines leaves become ering r, the lage from shore to shore look like shining rors, and the ocean, under her glance, with great tideg come up panting upon the dea mingling, as it were, foam and lire, Under the witchery of the moon tue awful steeps lose their rugge ness and the chasms their terror. The poor man blesses God for throwing so cheap a light through the brokea window pane of his cabin, and to toe sick it seems like a light from the other shore that bounds this great deep of buman pain and woe, If the sun be like a song, full and loud and poured forth from brazm instruments that fli heaven and earth with harmony, the ruoon is plaintive and sad, standing be neath the throne of God, sending up her soft, sweet voice of raise, while the stars listen and the sea! No mother ever more lovingly watched a sict cradle than this pals watehoer of the sky bends over the weary, hertsiok, scumbering earth, singing to it a silvery music, while it is rocked in the eradie of the spheres, Now, save my text, “Who is « the moon?’ Our answer is the Like the moon, stis is a borrowal | gathers up the glory of a Saviears & ings, aSavionr's death, a Saviour's res tion, a Baviour's silve r= ba, Ascrasion, anl pours thas light on palaces and dungeon, on squalid heathenism and eleborate skeoticis Bn, on widow's tears and martyrs robe of lanes on Weeping penitence and loud mouths scorn. Bhe is the only institution to-day that gives any light to our world. Into her por tals the poor come and get the symoathy of a ones pillowiess Christ, the bereaved come and see the bo tie in which God saves all car tears, and the cantives come, ani on the sharp corners of! her altars dash off their chains, and the thirsty come and put their cup under the “Rock of Ages,” which pours forth from its smitten side living water, sparkling water, crystalline water from under the throne of Gol and the Lamb, Blessed the bell that calls her worshipers to prayer. Blessal the water in which her members are baptizsd., Plesso! be ths wine that glows in her sacrarsental cups. Blessed the songs on whic her devotions travel up and the angels of God travel down, As the moon goes through the midst of ths roaring storm clouds uaflushel anl une harmed, und comes out calm aad bmutitul on the other side, #5 thes church of Gol nas gone throuzh all the storms of this world’s caution ani coms out uninjursl, no worse for the fact that Robewmierrs curssd It, and Voitaire caricatare! it, ani Tom Paine meered at it, and all tz foroes of darkness have bombarded it. Not like some baleful comet snoosing across ths sky, scattering terror and disnay among the nations, but above ths long nowling night of the worll's wretchedness the Christian church has made her mild way, “Fair as the moon.” I take a step further in my subject— “Clear as ths sun.” After a season of storm or fog, how you ars thrilled when the sun comes out at noon lay! The mists travel up ufll above hill, mountain abive mountain antil they are «7 lost. The forests ars full of chirp and buzz and song; honey makers { on the jong, bird's vaak psundinr tha bark, the chatter of tha squirrel oa the rail, the call of a hawk out oi a clear sy makes Vat thankiul for the sunshine waich makes all the world so busy ana gind., The same un whieh in tae morning kindled confla. prations among toe casties of c.oul soos down to paint the lily waite and thos butter cup vellow and the forgetmanos bius. What can resist the sua? Lizht for voy. ager on the desp, light tos shepaerds guar BD for the poor who light for the down- cast and the weary, light tor acaing oyas and burning brain and consuminz cantive, light for t% smooth brow of ealidhoot{ and the dim vision of the octozenarvian, light tor the queen's coronal and sewing girl's nselle, “Low there bo light.” Now, says my text, “Who is she that looketh fortn clear as tae sun? Our answer ig, the church. You hive basa going along a road before davbrea:, anil oan oas side you thought you saw a lion, and on the other side You thou rat you saw a goblin of the darkness, but wasn ths sun cams ous vou found tnes» were haraless apoaritions, And it is the great mission of the churel of Jesus Christ to coma forth *‘clear ss tha sun,” to ilumine ull earthly darko, to exe plain, as far as possible, all mystery, anl to make the world raliant in its brightness; and that which you thought was an aroused lion is found out to by a slumbering lamb; and the sepulearal gates of your dead turn oul to be the opening gatss of neaven; and that which you supporsal was a fang sword to keep you out of paradise is an allzed of light to bac ion you in, The lamps on her altars will cast their glow on your dar<est pathway and cheer of you until, far beyona the nesd lantern or lighthouse, you are safely anchorel within the veil.
