Howards are not to hs given aceor.llngto th amount of noise rou make In the world, nor even according to the amount of goo I you do. but according to whether you work to vour full capacity, Recording to whether or not yon do your full duty In the sphere where Ood has placed von.

Of course not! If Ood give wealth or social position or elo nuenee. or twenty times the faculty to a man than He gives to the ordinary man. Is He go ing to give to the favored man a reward lie cause he has more power nnd more influence On, no. In other words, if you and I were to do our whole duty, and you had twenty times more talent than I have, vou will get no more divine reward than I will. Is Ood going to reward vou because He gave yon more? Thnt would not be fairs that would not be right. Tbee200 men of the text who falntcl by the brook Ibor did their whole duty. They watched thelnggage, they took enreof the stuff, anil they got as much of the spoils of victory as the men who went to the front. "As his nart is that goeth down to the bnttle, so shall his part bo thnt tnr rleth by the stuff." There I high encouragement In this for all who have great responsibility and liltle credit for what they do. You know the names of the great commercial house of these cities. Do you know the names of the conllilentlnl clerks the men who have the key to the eafo, the men who know the com bination lock? A distinguished merchant goes forth at th watering place, and he Hashes past, and you sav. "Who is that?" "Oh." replies some one, "don't you know? That is the gret importer; that is the great bnnker; that Is the great manufac turer. 'J The confidential clerk has his week off. Nobodv notice whether he come or go'. Nobody knows him, and after n while) his week is done, nnd he nits down ngaln at bis desk.

These men have awful re spoD.sibilitien. and sometimes, through tho recklessness of nn engineer or the unfaithfulness of a switch man. it tins brought to mind the faithfulness of nearly all the rest of them. Some men do not have recognition of tnelr services. Thev have small wigm and much complnlnt. I very often rid upon locomotives, and I very often n-tk tiieonesUon. as we shoot around somn curve or under some lo lire of rocks. "How much wage do vou get" And I am alwavs surprised to find how little for such vast responsibility. Do you suppose O.id la not going to rejognlf that fidelity? Thomas Hcott. the President of the Pennsylvania Itailroa I, going up at death to receive from Ood his deHtiny, was no better known In that hour than was known Inst night the brakeman who, on the Erie liailroa l, was lammed fo death amid the car couplings.

Wtior- evar they tlnd him lit the barn or iu tho house he is rending a book. "What a pity it is." they say, "that Ed cauuot get an edu- ;ntion!" His father, work a hard n he will, enn no more than vupport the family by the product of tilt) farm. Ono night Ed has retired to uls room, aul there is a family couferuu"o about him. The sisters say: "rather. I wish vou would seud hi to college. If you will, we will work harder than we ever did. and we will nuiku our old dresses do.'1 The mother says: "Yes; I will get along without auy hired help. Although I um not its strong us 1 used to lie, I think I can get ulong without any hired help.'' The father says! "Well, 1 think by hUHkiiig corn nights 1 can get along without auy nsslxiunce." Hugar is banished from the table, nutter is banished from the plate. That family is put down on rigid yea, Mifferiiig economy that the boy may go to college. Time passes on. Coin muuucmeut day has come. Think not that I mention an imaginary case. Ood knows it hiipiicucd. Commencement dav has come. nud the professors walk iu u the stugu in their long gowus. The interest of the oc casion is pushing ou, uud Hfter awhile it comes to a climax of Interest us the valedictorian is to be introduced.

They huve mude that scene possible, and la the (luy when Uud shall uiuro fully reward sulf saeriliues made for others He will give grand uud glorious recognition. "As his part la that goetb down to tho battle, so shall bis part be that turrluth by the stuff." There is high eucnurugemeut lu tbli tuV- 'jeet also fnrthne who once wronght might ily for Christ nnd the church, but through sickness or collapse, of fortune or advanced years cannot now go to th front. These two hundred men of the text Were veteranf. T.ot that man bare his m and show how the muscles were torn. Let him pull aside the turban and see the mark of a battles, roll aside the coat and pee where the spear thrust him. Would it have been fair for those men, crippled, weak and old by the brook Besor. Jo have no share tn the spoils of triump.i? I was In the Holdicr's hospital in Pari and I saw there some of the men of the first Napoleon, and I asked them where they bad fought nnder their great commander. One man said. "I was at Atuterlitir." Anothci man said, "l wa at the pyramids." Anothet man snbt, "I was in the awful retreat from Mocow." Another mnn said. "I was at the bridge of I.odl." Home of them were Inme, thoy were all aged. Did the French Oov. ernment turn off those old soldiers to die In want? No. Their lat davs were spent like princes Do you think my Lord Is going to turn off His old soldiers because thev are weak and worn nud became they fainted bv the brook Ueor' Are they going to get no part of the spoils of the victory? .lust look at them. Do you think those crevice In the face nre wrinkle? No. They are battle soars. They fought against iekno.. thev fought against trouble, thev fought against sin, tbey fought for Ood. they fought for the church, thev fought for the truth, tbey fought fot heaven. When they had plenty of money their nsmns were nlways on the subscription list. When there was nny hard work to be done for Ood thev were readv to take the heaviest part of It. When there came a great revival they were readv to prav all night for the anxious and the sin struck. They were ready to do anywork, endure nnv sacrifice, do the most unpopular thing that Ood demanded of tbem. Hut now they can not go further. Now tbey have plivslenl infirmities. Now their bend trouble them. They are weak and faint by the brook flesor. Are thev to have no share In the triumph? Are they to get non" of th" tr"a. ure. none of the spoil of oon,U'Vt? You must think that Christ has a very short memory If you think Helms forgotten their services. Fret not. ye age 1 one, .lust tarrvbvthe stuff nnd wait for your share of the' spoil". Yonder they nre coming. I hour the blent ilig of the fat lambs, nnd I see the Jewel, glint in the sun.

The shining ones comes up on the one Hide and the shining ones come up nn the other side nn l tbey push vou on, and thv push you Up, and thev say, "Her. nn old soldier of Jesus ' Christ." nnd the shining ones will rush out toward vou and sav. "Yes; that man saved my soul." or they will rush out and sav. "(lit, ve: he was with mo In the Inst sicknesH'" And then the cry will go round the circle: "Come in, come in, come In. come no! W'e saw you away down there, nl I and sick und decrepit nnd discouraged because you could not go to the front, lint 'As hi par, I that go-th down to the battle. i hull bis part bo that tarrieth by the stuff.'" There Ishlgh consolation also in till for aged ministers. I see some of them here to. day. They sit In pews in our churches. They used to stand In pulpily. Their hair Is white with the blossom of the tree ot life, their names marked on the roll of the general assembly, or of the consociation, emeritus. Thev sometimes hear a text an nouueed which brings totnlud a senium they trenched fifty years ago on the nme sub ject. They preached morn gospel on tlDO a year than some of their Successors nreeh on 1000. Home Kiinduv I ho old minister is In a church, and near by in another pew there are a husban I and a wife and a row of childreu. And after the bene lie. tlou Mie Indy comes uu and says. "Doctor, you don't know me. do you?" "Well," he savs. "your face is fxmilinr. but I cannot J-CAll vou by pame." "Why." slm says, "you napttzeii me, and you married me, nud you buried my father ami mother and sisters." "Oh. ye,"' ho say. "Mv eyesight Isn't as good as It used to be." Thev are in all our churches '.he heroes of 1HJ0. the bor ic of IHJ2, the heroes of 1837. Ilvthe long crave trench that cut througn half a century they hnv. stoo I sounding the resurrect Inn. They havo been iu more It ilaklavasiind havetakon nioro Hovo-Hlopols than you ever heard of. Sometimes they get a liltle fretful beeauso they cannot In) nt tin front.

"My father, my father. ! the chariots of Isra d mi l the horsemen thereof." "As his part Is th i' go -th down to ! the battle, so shall his pur; lie that tarrieth by the .stuff."
