but wa hare gone so fnr now that we hare
censed to Inngh at anything as Impossible
for human achievement. Then I ask, is any
thing Impossible for the Lord? I do not b-
Hern that Ood exhausted all Bis grace In
Pnl and Latimer and El ward Payeon. I
believe there are higher points of Christian
attainment to be reached In the luture agea
of the Christian world.
Ton tell me that Taul wont up (0 the tip
top of the Alps of Christian attainment.
Then I tell you that the stork and crane
hare found above the Alps plenty of room
for tree flying. We go out and we conquer
our temptations by the grace of Ood and Ha
down. On the morrow those temptations
rally themaolret and attack us, and by the
grace of Oo 1 we defeat them again, but
staying alt the time In the old encampment
we bare the same obi bnttln to fight over.
Why not whip out our temptations and
then forward march, making one raid
through the enemy's country, stopping not
until we break ranks after the Ut victory.
Do, my brethren, let us have torn novelty
of combat, at any rate.bychanglng.br going
00. by making advancement, trading off
our stale prayers about sins wo ought to
bare quit long ago, golngontowtr I ahlgaer
state of Coristlnn character, and routing out
sins that we bare never thought ot yet.
The fact Is, If the church ot Oo 1, It we
as Individuals, made rapid advancement
In the Christian life these stereotyped pray,
era we have been making for ten or fifteen
years would be aa Inappropriate to us at the
shoes, and the hats, and the fonts we wore
ten or fifteen years ago. Ob, tor a higher

crane In their migration teaching us tha les

Denr Lord, and shall we ever llvj
At thla poor dying rate.
Our love ao faint, so cold to Tii03,
And Thine to us so grent?
Again, I remark that tho birds of ths air
nre wiser than we because they know when
to start. It you should go out now and
shout, "Stop, storks nnd cranot. don't bs In
a hurry I" they would say 1 "So, we 0 innot
stop. I.sst night we heard the roaring In
the woods bidding us awny, and tho shrill
flute of the north wind bns sounded the re
jreat. We must go." Ho ther gather them
solves into companies, and turning not aside
tor etorm, or mountain top, or shook
of musketry over land nnd sea,
straight aa an arrow to the mirk, they
go. And If you come out this morning with
a snck of corn nnd throw It In the Del. Is and
IrySiind get them to stop they nre so far up
Ihey would hardly ate It. They are on their
ray south. Vou could not stop them. Oh,
that w were ns wise about the beet time to
tart for Ood and heaven ! We say: "Walt
-until It Is n little Inter in the i-non ot
mercy. Walt until somt of these green
leaves of hope are all ilrlet up and have
been scattered. Wnlt until next year."
After awhile we start, and it Is too late,
and we perish In the wav when nod's wrath
is kindled but a little. Thcrenre, you know,
exceptional cases, where birds have started'
too late, and In the morulug you have found
them dead on the snow. And there are
those who have perished halfway between
the world and Christ. They wa'lte 1 until
the last sickness, when tho mind was gone,
,or they wore on thecxpress train going at
forty miles an hour, and they camu to the
bridge, nnd tha "draw was up.'' and
they went down. How long to repent and
pray? Two seconds ! To do the work nf a

Home of you have felt tho pinching frort

you nre not h ippy. Tbnrj are void's wilhlu

you that you are pinner, nnd that without

8. "And strslsrhtwar manr were gath

the peonle to ehneeh thst there was no
linger power In Jesus nor In Itis gnpit.
Were It not for Hen. xlll.. ft, one mleM think
He had grntlr channel. Hut knowing
that with Him Is no rarlahlnee. neither
shadow of turn In, we wer eomtelle to
eoneln le that mnnr preachers do not preach
the word i hence the need of such exhorta
tions as Jonah III.. 1: II Tim. Ir.. 2.
'Treach the preaching I bid thee, "Preach
the word."
S. "And ther eoma tints Him bringing
one sick ot the palsv, which ws borne of
four." When those know Jens thus
wnrnnatlr labor to bring the'r friends to
Him, It ts srood evidence of their faith In
Him, but what shsll w say orthlnk of those
who profs to know Him, vet nerer put
forth an effort or ear a word to brlns an
other soul to Him? Can It he that they
hare a name to lire, hut are desd or luke

4. "And when ther could not corns nigh
nnto Htm for the press they uncovered the
roof where He was, and when they ha I
broken It no ther let down the be I wherln
the sick nf the paler tnr." In Luke r.. 19,
It savs. "Intothe midst berore.fesin." Like
the poor woman whom no physician could
help, ther felt If thy could onlr g.t to Him
He would surely do It for them. What
blessed confidence In Jeus ! Ruch trmt is
never put to she- s. We must ask without
waverlnr. He 'alth and doubt no: (J is.
I., , 7 1 Mark xt.. 51. 21).
8. "When Jeeus saw their faith. It sal 1
nnto the sick ot ths palsv. 8 in. thr sins be

Him ! Hear Him concerning the centurlan.
"t hnve not found ao great faith no. not In
Israel." And to the woman of Tvre an 1
8ldon ! "O woman, great Is thv faith. Ilo
It unto the even as thou wilt" (Ma'h. rill..
10: xv.. 21). See how theOreat Plivslclan

sick soul nil John. 2).
fi. "But there were certain of the s'rlhes
sitting there and reasoning In their harts."
This mode of treating Hisworls or Ills do
Intrs will never bring light or paacc. All
reasonings must bo cait down fit Cor. x.. 8).
It Is onlv tho en'raiice of Ills words tint

They might hers thought ot Isa. xllll, 8V
an I said, "This must be the Lord Oo 1 of
the holy prophets, eren our Messiah."
. "And Immediately, when Jems per
ceived in His Spirit that they so reasoned
within theniS'ilvos. He said unfo them.
Why reason ye th"sa things In your hearts'"
The fact that He could rea l their thought
and toil them what was passing in tne t
minds should have convinced them that He
was none other than the one who sai l lo'u
before, "I know the thlnirs that co n'i Into
your miud. every one of them" (E?k. xl.,

9. "Whether is it enMer to sivtottio elelt

say, Arise and take up thy be! nnd walk."
The last would seem to many to bethe gr -litest,
for bodily Intlrmtty Is to manv n mora
grievous thing than unforgiven siu. Wh it
numbers there aro who would give all b"v

They nre blind and devt to spiritual thing
nnd to the unveu anl eternal realities of
heaven and hell.
10. "Hut that ye may know that the Son
of man hsth power on earth to forgive sins
(He saith to the sick of the palsy)." Here is
the truth to be proclaimed urouu ltha worM,
"The Son of man lintli pow:ironearthto lor.

This is the word that hat all power lu It. the
word that at creation spake and it whs dune,
coinmande 1 an 1 It stool fast (I's. xxxlll.,

and there was light. It is the "thus saith
the Lord" of the Old Ti stnment. The same
voice is saying to niaav to-day, "Awake,
thou that slejpest, aud arise froai the ilea I,
nnd Christ shall give tuue light" (Eih. v.,

Where, have determined upon the "treating
habit aa the place In which to put the en
tering wdge of the tempemnee reform. All
the speakers at the league meeting sem to
hold In common the view that, however the
liquor habit may be combnte I In Individual
cases, lit most dangerous outgrowth Is tho
practice of "fronting." And this Is the prae.
tlce which offers the best Hold of effort for
the roformort who wish to over.!o:no lutein,

No observer of the liquor evil In Its rarl.
us phases can doubt fur a moment the g(.n.
ernl correctness of this division. The "lrat
lng" custom Is responsible tor two of the
worst of the attendant evils of drink It
obliges those who follow It to drink morn
than they want or would take, but tor the
take of appearing to be sociable. And It cul
tivates the taste for liquor among young
men who would hnve nothing to do with It
were they not asked and Urged to do so. A
man who enters a saloon alone Is generally
content with as much alcoholic stimulant ns
will appease his thrist and give him a mod
erato exhilaration. Let him be accompanied
by one or two others nnd the senseless cus
tom of treating demands the purchase and
consumption by each drinker of ns many
drinks ns there are members of the pnrty-.
multiplied, of course, by the number of llm-s
that any Individual member may tnke it Into
bis head to "treat."
Tho drink habit in bad enough. In Itself,
but this foollih semblance of goo t fellow
ship" has rastly increased Its dlsaeters. If
tho temperance advocates of this country
cau do away with the treating they will have
sensibly diminished the baneful results of
liquor, even though they do rot strike nt the
