We may torn to righteousness by Chris
ttan admonition. Do not wait until you
can make a formal speech. Address the
one next to you. Ton wi'l not go home
alone to-day. Between this and your place
ot stopping you may decide the eternal dee
tlnv ot an Immortal spirit. Just one sn
tenfce may do the work. Just one question,
just one look. The formal talk that begins
with a sigh and ends with a canting snuffle
Is not what Is wanted, but the heart throb
of a man In dead earnest. There is not a
soul on earth that vou may not bring to
God if you rightly go at It. They said Gib.
ralter eould not be taken. It is a rock 1000
feet high and three miles long, but the Eng
lish and Dutch did take it. Artillery and
sappers and miners and fleets pouring out
volleys of death and thousands of men reck
less ot danger can doanythlng. The stoutest
heart of sin, though it be rock and sur
rounded by an ocean of transgression, un
der Christian bombardment may hoist the
Bag of redemption.
But la all this admonition and prayer
anu i nrisnan wort tor nothing? Mv text
promises to all the faithful eternal luster.
"They that turn many to righteousness
shall shine as tho stars forever." As stars
the redeemed have a borrowed light.
What makes Mars and Vonus and Jupiter
tn luminous? When the sun throws down
his torch in the heavens, the stars pick up
tho scattered brnnds and hold them lu
procession as thn ipieen of tho night ad
vances. 80 all Christian workers, stand
ing around the throne, wtll shine tn thn
light borrowed from the Kun of Klghteous
ness Jesus In their faces, Jesus In their
songs, Jesus In their triumph.
Again, Christian workers shnll be like
the stars in the fact that they have a light
independent of each other. Look up at
tho night nnd see each world show its dis
tinct glorv. It is not like the conllngra
tlon, in which you cannot tell whero oua
flame stops and another begins. Neptune,
Herschol and Mercury are us distinct as if
each one of them were tne only star. Ko
our individualism will not be lost in
heaven. A groat mult Undo yet eaehonn
as observable, as distinctly recognized, as
greatly celebrated, as if in nil the space,
from gate to gate and from hill to hill, ho
were theonly Inhabitant no mixing up, no
mob, no Indiscriminate rush, each Chris
tian worker Htnnillng out Illustrious, all
tire story of enrthlv achlevment ndherlng
to each one, his self-denials and pains and
services and victories published.
llefore men went out to the last war the
orators told them that they would all be re
membered bytholrcountry and thelrnames
be commemorated In poetry nnd In song.
But go to the graveyard In'i'ilchmonil, ami
you will And thoro fiOOO graves, over each
of which Is ;tho inscription, "Unknown."
The world does not remember Its heroes,
but flu-re will bo notaircrognlzed Chrlstaln
workW in heaven. Each one known hv nil
grandly known, known by acclamation,
an tne past Story of work for Ood gleaming
In cheek nnd brow nnd font ami mtlm Timir
shall shine with distinct light as the stars
forever and ever.
Again. Christian workers slin.ll shine like
tho stars In clusters. In looking up you
flnd the worlds in family clrclps. Brothers
and sisters, they take hold of each other's
hands and danco In groups. Orion in a
n group. The 1'leitides in a irroun. The
system Is only a company of children with
ongar laces, gntuerna around oiro great
fireplace Tho Worlds do not stnurirln n(V
They go In squndrons and fleets, Hailing
through Immensity. Ho Christian workers
In heaven will dwell in nalirhlftrhiuiil. nml
clusters.
I nm sure thnt some neoplo I will like In

Yonder is a constellation of stately Chris
tians. Thoy lived on earth by rigid rule.
They nover laughed. They walked every
iiuur, uuxiuub lent moy siiouiu lose tlielr
dignity. But thev iovud God. mid vnmler
they shine in brilliant constellation. Yet I
shull not long to get into thnt particular
group. Yonder Is a constellation of small
hearted Christians asteroids In theotornal
astronomy. While some souls go up from
Christian battlo nnd blnzo Ilka Mars these
asteroids dart a fooblo ray like Vesta. Yon
der is a constellation of martyrs, of apostles,
of patriarchs. Our souls as thpy go up to
heaven will scok out the ino.it cougoulul so
ciety. Again. Christian workers. Ilka the ulnm
shine in magnitude. Tim most Illiterate
man knows that those things In tho sky,
looking like gilt buttons, nro groat masses
of matters. To weigh them one would
think that It would require scnles with a
pillar hundreds of thousands of miles high
and chains hundrods of thousands of miles
long, and nt the bottom of the obalns
basins on either side hundreds ot thousands
of miles wide, and that then Omnipotence
alone could put the mountains into the
scales and the hills into the balance, but
puny mnn has boon equal to the under
taking and lias set n little balanco on his
geometry anil wolghed world against
world. Yea, lie has pulled out his measur
ing line and announced that Herschol is
8(1,000 miles in diameter, Haturn 7!,000 miles
In diameter and Jupiter 8U.0OO miles In dia
meter and that the smnllest pearl on tho
beach of heaven Is Immense beyond nil
imagination. 80 all thoy Who liuve tolled
for Christ on earth shall rise up to a mag
nitude of privilege, and n magnitude of
strength, and a mugultildeof holiness, and
n mugnuuuo 01 joy, ana tno weakest saint
in glory become greater than nil that wo
can imagine ot an archangel.
Lastly and coming to this point my
mind almost breaks down under the con
templation like the stnrs, nil Christian
workers shall shine in duration. Thesnmo
stars that look down upon us looked down
upon the Chuldean shepherds. Tho meteor
that I saw (lashing across the sky tho other
night I wonder it It was not tho same one
that pointed down to where Jesus iny lu
tho manger, aud If, having pointed out Ills
birthplace, It has even sine- boon wander
ing through the heavens, watching to seo
how the world would treut Htm! When
Adam awoke tn tho garden lu the cool of
the. 4ay, he saw ooiiiiutr out through the
dusk of the evening the same worlds that
greeted us last night.
In Independence Hull Is an old cracked
bell that sounded the signature of the Doo
laration of Independence. Yen cannot ring
It now, but this great chime of silver bells
thnt strike In the dome of night ring out
as sweet a tone as when God swung them
at the creation. Look up at night and
know that the white lilies that bloom in all
the banging gardens of our King are cen
tury plants not blooming once in 100 years,
but through all the ceuturles. Theatarat
which the mariner looks to-night was the
light by which tho ships of Tarstilsh were
guided across the Mediterranean and thn
Venotlan found its way Into Lepanto. Their
armor Is as bright to-night as when, In
ancient battle, the stars In their courses
fought against Sisera.
To the ancients tho stars were symbols
of eternity. But here the figure ot my text
breaks down not In defeat, but . In the
majesties of the judgment. The stars
hall not shine forever. The Bible says
they shall fall like autumnal leaves. As
when the connecting faotory bandsltps at
nightfall from the main wheel all the
smaller wheels slacken their speed and
with slower and slower motion they turn
until they come to a full stop, so this
great machinery of ' the universe, wheel
within wheel making revolution of
appalling speed, shall, by the touch
of God's band, slip the band
of present law nnd slacken and atop. That
Is what will be the mattor with the mount
ains. The ehariots In which they ride shall
halt so suddenly that the kings shall be
thrown out. Htar after star shall be car
ried out to burial amid funeral torches ot
burning worlds. Constollatlons shall throw
ashes on tbelr heads, and all up and down
the highways of space there shall be mourn
ing, mourning, mourning, because the
worlds are dead. - But the Christian work
ers s'jall never quit their thrones they
shall relgh forever nd ever.
INDUSTRIAL ROTES.
Window Olass Advanced PerCentFitta
nrf to Light Leadon.
A meeting was held at Cleveland last
week of the window glaas Jobbers in
the territory between New York and
Chicago. The Jobbers have lately been
making new prices, just & per cent, be
hind manufacturers' prices. Last week
they decided to make another advance
of S per cent. The aecretary of the as
sociation. E. V. Palmer, said: "A crisis
Is approaching the window glass busi
ness. The stock of the manufacturers
and Jobbers is very low. The slags
workers are fighting among themselves
and the manufacturers fighting them.
It looks now as though the manufac
turers would not start their works for
Borne time yet. I am afraid that the
stock on hand will be exhausted in a
few weeks. There Is sure to be a fur
ther advance in prices."

LESSON THOCUHTS.
Eternity Is ushered in with judg
ment. It will be either eternal life or
eternal death; and It Is just now that
we have the opportunity to niuke our
cternnl choice.
As eternity Itself Is infinite, so will
the Joy be Infinite, of those who are
received Into everlasting life, and tho
woe be infinite, of those who come forth
unto the resurrection of damnation!
SELECTIONS.
Each triumph of the Right
Each action grand and pure
Written in lines of light,
Forever shall enden'
Hold fast to the present. Every po
sition, every moment of life Is of un
spcakahlc value ns tho representative
of a whole eternity.
The greatest of all mistakes Is. lo
live for time, when any moment may
launch us Into eternity.
Tls not for man to trille. Life Is brief.
And sin is hero.
Our age is but the falling of a leaf,
A dropping tear.
We have not time to sinirt away the
hours,
All must lx earnest In a world like
ours.

I sat alone with my conscience.
In a place where time had censed.
And we talked of my former living
In tho land whore the years Increased.
And I felt I should have to uuswer
The question It put to me.
And to face the answer nnd question
i nrougnout an eternity.
And I know of tho future Judgment.
How dreadful soe'er it bo,
Hint to sit nlone with my conscience
Will bo Judgment enough for me.
