S—————— } Text: “This day 1s salvation come to this | house.” Luke xix., 8, ! Znecheaus was a politician and a taxgathe | err. He had an honest oalling, but the | opportuniiy for “‘stealings"” was so large : the temptation was too much for him. The ! Bible says he ‘was a sinner’ that Is, inthe ! public sense, How many fine men have been ! ruined by official position! It is an awful | thing for any man to seek offlee under gov- i ernment unless his principles of integrity | are deeply fixed, Manya man upright in an insignificant position has made shipwreck if a great one, As far as I can tell, in the city of Jericho this Zaeccheus balonged to what might be called the “ring.” They had things | their own way, successfully avolding expo- | sure, {{ by no other way perhaps by hiring | somebody to break in and steal the vouch- | ers. Notwithstanding his bad reputation there wore streaks of good about him, as there are about almost avery man, Gold is found in quartz, and sometimes in a small Pperocntage, Jesus was coming to town. The people turned out fn massa to Him.

Zuecheus was wise when he disgorgel his unrighteous gains, and it was his first step in the right direction, The way being plain, Christ walked Into the house of Zacoheus, He becomes a differ “nut man ; his wife a different woman; the children nrodifferent. Oh, It makes a great change tu any house when Christ comes into it! How many beautiful homes are repro. sented among you? There are pictures on the wall, there is music in thodrawing-room, and luxuries in the wardrobe, and a full sap- ply in the pantry. Even if you were halt asleep, thers Is one word with which I could wake you and thrill you through and through, and that word Is “home!” Theres are also houses of suffering represented in which there are neither pictures nor ward robe nor ndorument-—only one room, and a plain cot, or a bunk in scorner, Yet it is the place where your loved ones dwell, and your whole nature tingles with satisfaction Toon on think of it and eall Jt home, T the world may scoff at us and pur- » has 4 belong four! ot Hew CORO nen gue us, and all the day we be tossed about, nt eventide we sall into the harbor of home, Though there be no rest for us in the busy world, and we go trudging about, bearing refuge, and it hath an easy chair in which pose, and that refuge is home, The English soldiers, sitting on the walls around Bevis. topol, one night heard a company of mu sicians playing ‘Home, Bweat Home," sickness, God pity the poor, wreteh who bas no home! your house, would feel His presence, Religion almost always begins there. It Is easier for women 10 become Christians than for us men, They If woman tempted man originally away from holiness, now she tempts him back, She may not make any fuss about it, but somehow every. body in the house knows that thers is a change in the wife and mother, She chides the children more gently, Her fnee times lights up with an unearthly glow. She goes into pome unoccupied room for little while, and the husband goes not her, nor asks why she wasthero, He knows without asking that she has been praying, The bushand notices that her face ight than on the day when, 3 ti nt the marriage altar, 01 he kn Jesus has been putting upon her wreath sweeter than the orange She puts the children to hed, with the formal pr but she lingers now who b 3 i toaund 1i5sd osgod lift ie where th then she kisses ore on, is the news fly ne, Father ts dyis me come § the train, ountry.
