-ij, iTunr, uu um oiuer iiaini, some or tlie
beet nieu and women of this day are those
wuo nave come ul au ancestry of which it
would not be courteous to speak lu their
preseace. The practical ana useful object
of this sermon Is to show you that if vou
have come of a Christian ancestry then you
are solemnly bound to preserve and develop
the glorious Inheritance, or if you have come
of a depraved ancestry then ft is your duty
to brace yourself against the evil tendency
by all prayer and Christian determination,
and you are to rind out the family fralltie-.
and in arming the ensile put the struuge.-t
guard at the weakest gate. With thesti
smooth stoues from the brook I hope to
strike you, not where David struck Goliath,
in the head, but where Nathan struck David,
in the heart, "Whose sou art thou, thou
young many"
There is something In all winter holldnvs
to bring up the old folks. 1 think mMny oi
our thoughts nt such times are set to the
tune of "Auld Lang Hyue." The old folkc
were so busy at such times in making tis
happy perhaps on lues resource wade
their ( .ud daughters happier than you
on tart,., resource are able to make your
sous and daughters. The snow lay two feet
above their graves, but tbey shook off the
white blankets aud mingled iu the holiday
festivities the same wrinkles, the saee
stoop of shoulder under the weight of age.
the same old style of dress or coat, the taiue
smile, the same tones of voice. 1 hope you
remember them before they went away. It
act, I hope there are those who have site J
to you what they ware, and that there may
ba In Tour houee some article of dreaa or
furniture with which you associate their
memories. I want to' arouse the most saerd
raemoriea of your heart whlla I make the
Impassioned Interrogatory In regard to your
pedigree, "Whose son art thou, thou young
manV"
First I accost all those who are descended
of a Christian ancestry. I donotaak If your
pnrenta were perfect. There are no perfect
eople now, and I do not snpposethere w.re
any perfect people thsn. 1'erhaps there was
sometimes too much blood In their eve when
they chatised you. But, from what I know
of you, yon got no more than you deserved,
and perhaps a little more chastisement
would have been salutary. But you are
Willing to acknowledge. 1 think, that they
wanted to do right. Krom what you over
heard in conversations and from what you
saw nt the family altar and at neighborhood
obsequies you know that they had Invited
Clod Into their heart and their life. Th-re
was something that sustalnet those old
people snpernaturally. You have no doubt
about their destiny. You expect If you ever get
to heaven to meet them as you expect to meet
the Lord Jesus Christ.
That early association has been a charm
for you. There was a time when you got
right up from a honeof Initially and walked
out Into tho fresh air been u so you thought
your mother was looking at vou. You have
never been very happy In sin because of a
sweet old fnce that would present Itself.
Tremulous voices irom the p-st accost I you
until they were se enlngly audible, and you
looked around to see who spoke. There was
an estate not mentioned In the last will and
testament, a vast estnte of prnver and holy
example and'.Cbristlnn entreaty and glorious
memory. Tho survivors of tho family gath
ered to hear the will rend, and this was to
be kept and that was to be sold, aud It was
"chare and share nlike." But there was an
unwritten will that read something like this:
"In the name of God. amen. I beingof sound
mind, beoiieath to my c'dldren nil mv iirnv-
era for their salvation: I bcpieuth to them
all the r 'suits of a lifetime's tolli I bequeath
KJincrutun unrltlnn religion, which has
been ao much comfort to tne, and I hope may
be solace for tlieinj I beipii-nth to them a
hope of reunion when the partings of life nr-
over. 'Share and rhar nllke.' mav they In
herit eternal riches. 1 bemieath to'them the.
wish that they nmy avoid mv error Hint
copy anything that may havo'lven worthy,
la tho name of (bid who made me. ml the
Christ who redeemel me. un l the II iiv
Ghost who sacrifices me. 1 make this u.v la-t
will nad testament. Witness all v.m imi.
nfheivcn. Witnc-s time, witness eternity.
Signed, sealed and delivered in this our
dylug hour, Father and Mother." You did
not get that will proved at the surro-ruie's
office, but I take It out to-day an I I rend it
to you. I take It out of the alcoves of vour
heart. I shake tho dust off a. 1 ask It you
Will accept that inheritance, or will ..n
break the will?
O yo of Christian nn''eirv. vou have a
responsibility vast beyond nll':ii.'iiiiriiioi.t.

the man who can truly say this morning:
'iTie tint woidl iou.--p.oei 1,t.,t. cuW-

lack of lias. un II r-t twenty years of mv
If" I was aso 'lated with the 'vicious. 1 seume'i

Now, my brother, ou-tht you n d I leave

Cl.rlstiaulul' .i'U v? Standing as you do be
tween tho generation that i-t pact an ! the
ge.ieratiou that Is to come, are y.m going to
pil-sth' blessing on, or are vou going t
have your life tlie gulf ir. which that tide of
blessing shall drop out of sight forever? You
are the trustee of piety In that ancestral line,
na I are you going to augment or s prucler
mat aoinaiii trust ititid? Are you going to
disinherit vour sops and daughters of tho
heirloom which your parents left y .u? Ah.
th;.t cannot bu possible it cannot 'bo possible
that you are going to ta! such a position s
thi.t. You are very careful about life insur
ances, and careful about the de ids. and
careful about the mortgage, aud careful
about tlie title of your property, because
when Vou step ofl the stage you want vour
children to get it all. Are vou making no
provision that they nlie.ll get grandfather's
or grandmother's religion? Oh, what a la-t
will and testHtiieiit yo-i am making, n.y
brother! "In the uaaie of God, amen. I.
bciugot souud mind, make this my last will
and testament. I hepinih to mv children

It shall not be In vain. Ah, no, no, It shall
not be In vain. 1 will pray for myself. Who
baa sinned against so much Instruction at I
have? Against to many precious prayers
fmt up to heaven for me by one of the most
ovoly, tender, pious, confiding, trusting of
mothers In her Heavenly Father'a cam and
grace? she never doubted: she believed.
She always prayed aa if she did. My Bible,
my mother'a Bible and my conscience teach
what I am and what I nave made myself.
Oh, the bitter pangs of an accusing con
science! I need a Havlour mighty to save.
I must seek Him. I will. I am on the se.t
of existence, and I can never get off Irom It.
I am afloat. No anchor, no rudder, nocom
pass, no book of Instructions, for I have pnt
them all away from me. Havlour of the
perishing, save, or I perish." Do you won
der that the next ilav he nroso Ir prayer
meeting and said: "My brethren, I stand
before you a monument of God's amazing
mercy and goodness, forever blessed be Ills
holy name. All I hnve and all I am I runs,
crate to Jesus, my Havlour and my God?"
Oh, the power of ancestral prayer! Hear it!
Hear It! '
Hut J tnrn for a moment to thoso who had
evil parentage, nnd I wnnt to tell vou thnt
the highest thrones In heaven nnd the might
iest triumphs and the brightest crowns will
tie for thoso who had evil parentage, but
who by the grace of God conquered -on-(piered.
As good, as useful, us splendid a
gentleman as I ever knew had for a father a
man wno died blaspheming God until tho
neighbors had to put their fingers in their
ears to shut out thehorror. One of them ist
