In contrast with his eulozium of the ch y,
look at the denunciatory things tauat are
said in our day inregardtoit. 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,

Under the witchery of the moon tue awful

throwing so cheap a light through the brokea

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

sweet voice of raise, while the stars listen

forth from its smitten side living water,
