Subject: “The Excited Governor.”
Text: ‘‘Folix trembled and answered, Go

venient season I will call for thee," —Acts
xxiv, , 25,
A elty of marble was Csaren wharves of
marble, houses of marble, temples of mar-
ble, This being the ordinary architecture of
the place, you may imagine something ofthe
splendor of Governor Felix's residence, In
a room of that palace, floor tessellated, win-
dows curtained, fretted, the whole

with some of those who are here it ia the an

and the parior-—the wearing peonomy of try

Ten thousand volees of
business, business’ drown the
eternal Spirit, silencing the voles of the ad-
vancing jodgment day, overcoming the voles
of eternity, and they cannot hear ; they can-
not listen, They say, ‘Go thy way for this
time." Bome of you Jook upon your goods,
look upon your profession, I look upon
your memorandum books, and you ses the
demands that are made this very week upon
your time and your patience and your
money, and while I am entreating you about
your sou! and the danger of procrastination
you say : “Go thy way for this time, When
I have a convenient season, I will call for
thee,”
Oh, Felix, why be bothered about the al-
fairs of this world so much more than about
the affairs of eternity? Do you not know
that when death comes you will have to stop
business, though it be in the most exacting
period of it-betwoen the payment of the
money and the taking of the receipt? The
moment he comes you will have to go, Death
waits for no man, however high, however
low. Will you pat your offlee, will you put
your shop in comparison with the affairs of
an oternal world, affairs that Involes
thrones, palaces, dominions eternal? Will
you put 200 sores of ground against im.

yot and yot and yet you wave him back to
thy way for
thistime, When I have a convenient season,
I will call for thee.”
Again, Felix adjourned this subject of re-
lHglon and put off Paul's argument bocause
he could not give up the honors of the world,
He was afraid somehow he would be com

we made afterward showed him to be In
