In Elm Patk church id. evening n.
seinion In obscrvnnco of the ninth an
niversary of the npwurth l"ni;uo wnB
preached by tho pastor Rev. Dr. C. M.
(31flln, for the particular benefit of the
league or tluit enure n.
Dr Glllln's topic was "The Top of the
Ladder." HIp text was from Genesis,
xxvlll 12. "And he drenmed, anil behold
a ladder set tin on caith, and the top
of It i cached to heaven: and behold
tho angels ot God ascending and de
scending on U."
The laddet revealed to Jacob, Dr.
Gillln said, wat but a symbol of tho
vast reaches that arc; stretching up
ward for nil mankind. The possibili
ties of going up or down were great,
but in this stirring age of opportunities
there wns no reason for taking the
wrong coui.se. In considering the
course symbolized in the ladder It were
well to note how the ladder rests. Us
foundation should be firm, substantial
and solid to withstand tiemendous
piessttro. It must be plumb and solid
on both sides. No ladder-climbing
would be successful if cither side rented
on n soft basis.
When propel ly placed, a ladder
should be ptopcrly pointed. Young'
people should turn their plans toward
heaven. Nothing would bo accomplish
ed on the mine principle which extends
from a level In sunlight downward to
on" in darkness. If tho dieam of Jacob
tho slumberer were to be a reality,
there should be something moro than
stiength of intention. That was a good
and bad characteristic of Americans. It
developed too many dtones and sloep
eis, however.
MCDONALD'S MANIA.
George McDonald had a mania fioin
bovhood to climb or be lifted to im
mense heights that ho might get a
broad and unobstructed Mew of tho
horlon. Ho wanted a great, ast ex
panse of lslon. This tiait was mii
trary to thut possessed by Scianton's
inanimates, hundreds of them, victims
of absolute loutli.e. An thing was
worthless, Dr. Glilln said, that did not
have one's will and woik in It. In
herited wealth was an Illustration
Dizziness would come from looking
down the ladder. The climber should
set his gaze high in the sky. And in
the climbing one should remember that
he cannot slide up. The movement is
accomplished Innd on or hand, uiund
aftei lound. It Is by gtades and
stages.
That the woild .a developing its
climbeis. Dr. Gillln believed. The world
was going tovaid lis ptescrlbed high
altitude and Scrantun wus going neater
heaven. It was fo with character.
Man has learned It by tudy. Invention
and toll. It lequitfcl effoit for one to
appteeiiite that he could handle him
self better. Among the hlndi anc.es was
the trashy Sunday newspapei.
The mistake should not be made In
the belief that the top of the ladder
was leached when only half the t'ls
lanie had been traversed. One's edu
cation is not leached at stude.ithuod.
Many had made the mistake of stop
pi. lg too soon, not icallzlng that the
scheme of llle for everv soul was im
mense and that satisfaction could not
be attained until it had been thor
oughly mastered.
Counting the lounds wus not as ad
vantageous us climbing. In listening
to a sermon, its leal length might ,eem
brief 'ind its matter good If the listener
would vield himself to the speaker and
not keep time on him up to the llnlsh
LOFTY MOI'NTAINS.
Th-ie wete mountains so high that
peace was alwas thete, so high that
daylight come eatly and stajul late,
where the stir of u btceze was un
known, so still was eveivthlng that a
travler who ttaced some woids with
his ilmret In the ashes of a lite found
the tracings there several jeais later.
So It was In life. The peace, light and
silliness wett not below. As Watson
vviute.
'I he re Is toll on the stetps
On the summit, leposc.
When the top of the ladder wns
leaihed the climber should not forget
he was once at the bottom. The top
may be In the skies hut the bottom Is
on the common level. Those below
c lalmed and were entitled to recogni
tion and consideration
Dr Gillln concluded with a fervently
expressed hope that the young people
among his hearers would follow the life
suggested by his discourse and receive
the blessings that would be leaped no
coidingly.
