6 THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1867. ACONSISTANT CHRISTIAN His Life is an Illustrated Edition of the Bible. Many Bouls Have Deen Turned Into the Right Path by the Example of a Follower of Jesus — They Shine Like Stars. Dr. Talmage's latest sermon contains many comforting words for those who are endeavoring to follow in the foot. steps of Christ. His text was Daniel 13: 8: “They that turn many to right= eousness shall shine as the stars for- ever and ever." Every man has a thousand roots and a thousand branches. His roots reach down through all the earth; his branches spread through all the heav- ens. He speaks with voice, with eye, with hand, with foot. His silence often is lond as thunder, and his life Isa dirge or a doxology. There is no such thing as negative influence. We are all positive in the place we occupy, mak- | ing the world better or making it worse, on the Lord's side or on the devil's making up reasons for our blessedness or banishment; and we have already done work in peopling Heaven or hell. I hear people tell of | what they are going to do. A man who | has burned down a city might as well | talk of some evil that he expects to do, | or & man has saved an empire | might as well talk of some good that | By the force of your have already con- who he expects to do. evil influence sumed intl 108: or you have by the power ight influend Wot \ 4 | - { r rod 1a 1 absurd for me ela ' 4 nrove t : BY h | Si ¥ ff the track You ® at the i t {f an « $ 1 4 ; y : CO ‘ her washed her face.

It alights on © ship in mid-Atlantic. The little child understand the law of electricity. the tele graph operator, by touching the instrument here, may dart a under the sea to another continent; nor can we, with our small intellect, understand how the touch of a Christian's prayer shall instantly strike a the other side of the earth. You take ship and go to some other country, and get ' prayer ’ cannot or how message soul on there at 11 o'clock in the morning Yoi telegraph to America and the message gets here at 6 o'clock the same morning. In other words, it seoms to arrive here five hours be- fore it started. Like that is prayer God says: ‘“Hefore they eall, I wiil hear.” To overtake a loved one on! the road, you may spur up a lathered | stead until he shall outrace the one that brought the news to Ghent; but a prayer shall catch it at one gallop. A boy running away from home may take the midnight train from the country village and reach the seaport in time to gain she ship that sails on the mor row; but a mother's prayer will be on the deck to meet him, and in the bam- mook before he swings into it, and at the capstan before he winds the rope | around, aud on the sea, against the — ——— A — sky, ns the vessel ploughs on toward it. There is a mightiness in prayer. George Muller prayed a company of poor boys together, and then he prayed up an asylum in which they mizht be sheltered. He tarned his face toward Edinburg and prayed, and there eame a thousand pounds He turned his face toward London and prayed, and there came an thousand pounds. He turned his face toward Dublin and prayed, and there came a thousand pounds. The breath of Elijah's prayer blew all the clouds off the sky, and it was dry weather, The breath of Eli. jah's prayer blew all the clouds to- gether, and it was wet weather. Prayer, in Daniel's time, walked the cave as a lion tamer. It reached up, and took the sun by its golden bit, and stopped it, and the moon by its silver bit, and stopped it. We have all yet to try the full power of prayer. The time will come when the American church will pray with its face toward the west, and all the prairies and inland cities will surrender to God; and will pray with face toward the sea, and all the islands and ships will be- come Christian. Parents who have wayward sons will get down on their knees and say: “Lord, send my boy home,” and the boy in Canton shall get right up from the gaming table and go down to find out which ship starts first for America. Not one of us yet knows how to pray. All we have done as yet has only been pottering. A boy gets hold of his fa- ther's saw and hammer, and tries to make something, but it is a poor affair that he makes. The father comes and | takes the same saw and hammer and builds the house or the ship. In the childhood of our Christian faith we make but poor work with these weap ons of prayer, but when we come to the stature of men in Christ Jesus, then under these implements, the temple of God will rise, and the world's redemp- 2 3 4 iVes © » Cap id God that, Lmnig otent We may turn many to righteousness by Christian admonition Do not wait until you can make a formal speech Address the one next toyou.

They shall shine with distinct light as the stars, forever and ever. Again: Christian workers shall shine lke the stars in clusters. Inlooking vp you find the worlds in family circles Brothers and sisters—-they take hold of each other's hands dnd dance in groups. Orion in a group. The Pleia- des in a group. The solar system is only a company of children, with bright faces, gathered around one great fire. place, The worlds do not struggle off. They go in squadrons and fleets, sail- ing through immensity. So Christian workers in Heaven will dwell in neigh- borhood s and clusters. I am sure that some people I will like in Heaven a great deal better than others.

This help and complicity of the people she was to find everywhere on her rod. The king and the nobles accepted ber because she served their purpose; the people believed in her and lent her strength, Thus from the first step of her undertaking her situation was clearly outlined, as it was to be to the end--~to martyrdom. The poor peo- ple gave from their poverty to buy her # horse and vestments of war, and a squire, Jean de Metz, won by the popu- lar enthusiasm, offered to scoompany her with a few men. They set out for Chinon, where the court was assembled. The way was long and beset with | danger, but Joan upheld the courage of her companions, ‘Fear nothing,'' she said. "The Lord God has chosen my route; my brothers in paradise guide me on the way.''
