lo tli lat aiialyjiM th'r U only on thing,
after all, of which a human being b afrnhi
and that la his own past life, with Its ao
rruing results. Mont msn are not really
afraid of death per ae, or of pain, or of any
catastrophe which la likely to befal them,
Theai) facts are proven a thousand time a
day. Itooklcssness and Indifference are far,
more prevalent than cowardice and dread.
Hut there Is hardly a man or woman In the
world who d'ws not look back with morn or
less of apprehension and trembling
upon past life as registered in tho
Individual consolousni'ss. Tho world
may not understand the world may even
account them saints from Infnney i but they
know how Ood looks upon them, nnd how
they look upon themselves. How rnre
how almost inhumanly rnro Is tho man
who bus no haunting past ! To every soul,
pondering tho problem of tho futur i life
whether that soul bo avowedly Christian or
not the rhanee of snlvntlou seems to rest
upon tlii righting. In somn way, of
n condemning past. So long n that
h nn ubout a Mian's neck llko n
millstone, there Is no possible tendency
for him. In time or eternity, but down,
down, forever down. Somehow that Incu
bus must he thrown off; somehow the pnst
must be washed out or made rli'lu iin"
any man can be saved. This is the instinctive
eoavlction of the race, no matter what m-w
lie the form of Its religious, or Irreligious,
belief. Superstition must even have Its sac
rifices mad" and Its message sung for th
soul that has already passed to Its account.
On all hands men are crying out, nnd sflv.
lug. nud Isdng cried nnd striven for,
to get rid of their own accusing past.
It Is to this vast, troubled, yearning multi
tude Unit I esus Curl-it comes, itiwi im vmi
derful, precious message of hupe. What
does e s'iy t theslii-biird"liei,in-liaunted
soul Tlie mcssngo Is strangely brief and
simple, yet how murvoloiislv sweet nud sutll
cleiit : Come unto Me, all ye that labor mid
are henvvllldeil, and I will give you rest."
The invitation Is p Ts.inal mid direct. We a-e
simply to c.ime nud east the burden of our
guilt upon Htm, and Me will per
sonally assume It, and forever ro
move' It from us. 'I lie summa ,i
tho whole casuistical problem is so simple,
when this light or perf'i-t love falls upon It !
Hy reason of Ills divine natur ' Christ has
perfect moral right ami power to assume
your sin-liuriteu mid mine just as much
right us your creditor tins to assume or re
mit your debt to Mtn. We have slnii"d
against Christ, mid He, mid He alone, can
unslii us. Where In all the history of human
thought, Is there so sure and logical an an
swer to the universal problem, How r hall a
man escape hi condemning past ,'' None
was ever olTered that brought the peace an I
assiiran.'o of Christ's personal invitation
and promise. Oil. nil ye who are laboring
under the drcii I mid discouragement
of past sill, Ullfo.glMMi, come mid
taste the sweet, Immediate pea ! of the
IMvlllO f irglvetiess ; I ll -re Is no other
escape from this haunting sense of condem
nation for soul-r rde I evil. Tiler" Is no
other spiritual pence save the peace of Ood
111 Christ. Iu vain many men labor t i ntoiie
for past ill deeds and thoughts by present
virtue. In vain imiv they strive to reason
Ood. and a future, and a 'judgment, nut of
the universe. A thought, n consciousness, a
premonition. will unceasingly torment theui ,
and they will know that it is not well with
them unless they are forgiven. No soul ever
got rid of Its li.toiitlug pud until it yielded it
up to tho loving. I'lir.leii-I.eariiig Son of
Ood.

A lady sat at her window on a balmy
spring morning. The sun was out without
a cloud, the blooming Mowers were sending
forth their fragrance to perfume ami bless
tho earth, and the birds sang tin ir songs of
gladness as they went forth to their dally
toll. S-mii the "lady saw that a little worker
had chosen a rosebush for its home nud was,
velyTi'iisy tinging lit "ticks'" unit' Vuur uuV
feathers mid other material to make It
house, "Ah, you pretty little creature,"
said the lady, "you are ' building too low.
Soon the ii 'stroyer will come and bre.-i,

nud then there were eggs In the nest,
and then four big mouths were open

to eat. O:io day the la ly sat by the window
sewing, suddenly die iici. d the cry of the
birds. Iu the deepest distress, and slur
looked out to see what was the matter
Then- was a great .snake that had crawled
up and was devouring the helpless littk
ones, while Jmt above them the poor heart
broken mother llll'.tered about ill the wildest
distraction. Hut It was too late; her chil
dren were gone, und her home was left deso
late, a sad reminder of her folly in bull. Una
so near the ground. So I think it Is will

A book religion such as ours -that Is, a
religion based on written records - has, it it
well to remember, perils US well lis benefits
Olio of the bcncllts is that a people with till!
kind of u system cannot bu altogether illit
erate or uncultured. They are compelled
to lead and hence to think. It is necessary
that they know much concerning books in
general before they enu properly uuders'.nn I
one book. And from this latter truth tins -j
the peril. Many, who have very little a
iiimutanc4 with books, wholly fall lo com
prehend how very easy a thing it is to
misunderstand the thought and mis
interpret the words of writers ninnv
centuries away and many thousands of miles
distant from their own time aud place. Thoy
do not reali.e how poor n medium for con
veying thought words II Ion-' must ever be.
Hence they suppose tile words must have
meant to the writer Just what they seem to
the reader ; and they suppose they have the
authority ,,f prophet or apostle or of Jesus
Himself, for what is wholly, or at liny rate
partially, the product of tiu-lr Imagination,
it U a very grave peril to be constantly kept
In mind. 'The llible Is n womle'ful help if

"Now I lay m down to loop" 'Twos Just at

A little frackled, chubby boy knelt by his
mother's side,
Tho father In his old arm-chair was moved
to tender tears,
The sound of those pathetlo words brought
back his childhood years.

his little bed.
And how his mother knelt there, too nlnsl
she now is ilea I.
Ilo looked back o'er the vanished years when
be was but a hoy,
Bo full of hope and Innocence, his own dear
mother's Joy.
Since then the dn nkard's cup has thrown
Its shadow o'er his life,
It wrecked his years nnd crushed the hope
of his devoted wife.
The wedded love was blighted and their
home wns filled with tears,
And the future seemed to promise only dark
and drenry years,
'Tod bees my papa dear to-night, nn mate
hitn dood nnd true,"
Thus rami) tho words from tender lis. His
heart was stirred nnew.
The mother hugs her little boy and cheeks a
sfnylag tear,
Tho father's heart glows warm again with
love for those so dear.
'TIs night again, nnd side by s'do thry both
