Thoco U we may lounge without being thought ungraceful. There it the place where we may express aflection without being thought silly. There is the plane where we may forget our aanoyantes and exasperations and troubles. Forlorn earth pilgrim no home! Then die That is better. The graTe is brighter and! grander and more glorious thus this world with no tent from mare tings, with no harbor from the storm, with no plan of rest from this scons of grotd and gouge and loss and gain. God pi sythe ma:a or the woman who has no homo. Farther, I remark that home is s political safe-guard. The safety of the State must be built on the safety of the dome. Why can not France come to n placid republic? Brer and anon there is a tin out of national capable. France as a nation has not the right kind of a Christian tome. The Christian hearth-stone is the only cornerstone fora republic. The virtues cultured in the family circle are an absolute necessity for the State. It the re be not enough moral principle to made the family adhere, there will not be »i tough political principle to make the State adhere. “No home” means the Goths and Vandals, means the Nomads of Asia, means the Numidians of Africa, changing from place to place, according as the p isture happens to change. Confounded lie all those Babels of inquity which would overtoner and destroy the home. The same storm that upsets the ship in whi >h the family sails will sink the frigate of the Constitution. Jails and penitentiari as and armies and navies are not onrbeiit defense. The door of the home is the best fortress. Household utensils are the best artillery, and the chimneys of our du elling houses are the grandest monuments of safety and triumph. No home, no repuhlio. Further, I remark that home is a school. Old ground must be turned up with subsoil plows, and it must he harrowed and reharrowed, and then the orop will not be as large as that of the new ground with less culture. Now, youth and childhood are new grouud, and all the influences thrown over their heart and life will come up iin after life luxuriantly. Every time you. have given a smile of approbation, ajl the good cheer of your life will ecine up again in the geniality of your children. Avid every ebullition of anger and every uncontrollable display of indignation will be fuel to their disposition twenty or thirty or forty years, from now—fuel for a bad Are a quarter of a century from this. You praise the intelligence of your child too much sometimes when you think he is not aware of it, and yon will see l,he result of it before ten years of age in t is annoying affectations. You praise his beauty, supposing he is not large enough to understand what you say. and you will find him standing on a high chair before a fluttering

mirror. Words and deeds and example are'the seed of character, and children are very apt to be the second edition ol their parents. Abraham begat Isaac, so virtuo is apt to go down in the ancestral line; but Herod begat Archelans, so iniquity is transmitted. What vast responsibility comes upon parents in view of this subject! O, make your home the brightest plaoe on earth if you would charm your children to the high path of virtue and rectitude and religion. Do not always turu the blinds the wrong way. Let the light which puts gold on the gentian and spots on the pansy pour into your dwellings. Do not expect the little feet to keep step to a dead match. Do not cover up your walls with such pictures as West’s “Death on a Pale Horse,” or Tintoretto’s “Ma sacre of the Innocents.” Rather cover them, f you have pictures, with “The Hawking Party,” and “The Mill by the Mountain 8ti earn,” and “The Pox Hunt,” and ‘The Children Amid Flowers,” and “The Harvest Scene,” and “The Saturday Night Marketing.” Get you no hint of cheerfulness from grasshopper’s leap, and lamb’s frisk, and quail’s whistle, and garrulous streamlet, which from the rock at the mouni tin top clear down to the raeadowWrns under the shadow of the steep, comes looking I pr the steepest place to leap off at, and talking just to hear itself talk? If all the skies hurtled with tempest, and everlasting storm wandered over the sea, and every mountain stream went raving mad, frothing at the mouth with mud foam, and there was nothing but simoons bt awing among the bills, and there were neither lark’s carol nor humming-bird’s trill, nor waterfall’s dash, but only a bear’- bark, and panther’s scream, and wolfs howl, them you might well gather inti your homes only the shadows. But whei God has strewn the earth and the Heaver s with beauty and with gladness, let us tat e into our home circles all innocent hilarity, all brightness and all good cheer. A dark home ‘makes bad boys and bad girls, in preparation for bad ruen and bad women. AJl^e all, my friends, take into your hMt.esChnstran ptv&ssple. Can it bs that in any of the oomfortable homes of my congregation the voice of prayer is ’never lifted? What! No supplication at night for protection? What! No thanksgiving In the morning for care? How, my brother, my sister, will you answer God ,u the day of judgment with reference to your and children? It is a plain question therefore 1 ask it. In the teuth chapter of Jeremiah God says he will pour out his fur}’ upon the families that call not upon his name. O, parents! when you are dead and gone and the moss is covering the inscription of the tombstone, will your children look baok and think of father and mother at family prayer? Will they take the old family Bihle and open it and see the mark of tears of contrition and tears of ooKioling promise wept by eyes long before gone out into darkness? Oh, .if you do not inculcate Christian principle in the hearts of your children, and you do not warn them against evil, and ycu do not invite them to holiness and to God, and they wander off into dissipation and into infidelity, and at last make shipwreck of their immortal souls, on their dealih-bed and in their day of judg raent they will curse you! Seated by the register or the stove, what if on the wall should come out the history of your children? What a history—the mortal and immortal life of your loved ones! JSvery parent is writing the history of his child. He is writing it, composing'it into a song or turning it into a groan. My mind runs back to oue of the bust of early homes. Prayer, like a roof, over it, Pee.ee, like an atmosphere, in it. Parents, personifications of faith in trial, and comfort in darkness. The twc pillars of that earthly h »ne long ago crumbled to dust. But shall I ever forget that early home? Yes, whei the flower forgets the sun that warms it. Yes, when the mariner forgets the star that guided him. Yes, when love has gone out on the heart’s altar and memory has emptied ttr urn into forgetfulness. Then, home of my ohildbood, l will forget thee; the family altar of a father’s importunity and i a mother’s nets, the voioes of affection, the it als i»f our dead (either and mother, with interlocked arms like intertwining branches of trees making a perpetual yirbor of love and peace and kindness—then I them—and only then. You a hundred times _ kept out of sin by the inemseene as I have been deoften had raging what ha< held grasp. I tell you a a home *< t who has 1 over it.

tolled tty att ar world, t think ttot tto window* ud balconies wen thronged, and that the pearline beach was crowded with those who had come to see him sail out of the harbor of light into the oceans bey »nd» Out and out and out, and on and on and oU* and down and down and down he sped, until one night, with only one to greetaim, he arrived. His disembarkation so UU* pretending, so quiet, that it was not known on earth nntil the excitement in the cloud gave intimation that something grand and glorious had happened. Who comes there? From what port did he tail? Why was this the place of his destination? 1 question the shepherds, I question the camel drivers, I question the angels. I have found out. He was sn exile. Bui the world has had plenty of exiles. Abraham an exile of Ur of the Chaldees; John an exile from Ephesus; Kosciusko an exile from Poland; Masaini uexile from Ecme; Emmet an exile from Ireland; Victor B ugo an exile from France; Kossuth an exile from Hungary. But this one of whom I speak to-day had such resounding fare well and come into such chilling reception--for not even a hostler went out with his lan» tern to help him in—that he is more to be celebrated than any other expatriated one of earth or Heaven. It is ninety-jBve million miles from her* to the sun, and all astronomers agre» in saying that our solar system is only one of the small wheels of the great machine* y o the universe, turning round someone great center, the center so far distant it is beyond all imagination and calculation; and if, as some think, that great center in the distance is Heaven, Christ came far from home when he came here. Have you ever thought of the homesickness of Christ? Borne of you know wb^t homesickness is, when yon have been only a tew weeks absent from the domestic circle. Christ was thirty-three years away from home. Borne of yon feel homesickness when you are a hundred or a thousand miles from the domestic circle. Christ was more millions of miles away from home-than you could calculate if all your life you did nothing but calculate. Vou know what it is to ba homesick even amid pleasurable surroundings; but Christ slept in huts, and he was athirst, and he was ahungered, and he' was on the way from being born in another man’s barn to being buried in another man’s grave. 1 have read how the Swiss, when they are far away from their native country, at the sound of their national air get so homesick that they fall into melancholy, and sometimes they die under the homesickness. But oh, the homesickness of Christ! Poverty, homesick for celestial riches. Persecution, homesick for hosanna. Weariness, homesick for rest. Homesick for angelic and archangeiic companionship. Homesick to go out of the night;, and the storm, ud the world’s execration, and all that homesickness suffered to get ui home!

ac our dosc estate we are only pilgrims and strangers here. “Heaven is our home.” Death will never knock at the door of that mansion, and in all that country there is not a single grave. How glad parents are in holiday times to gather their children home again. But I have noticed that there is almost always a son or a daughter absent—absent from some, perhaps absent from the country, perhaps absent from the world. Oh, hoar glad our Heavenly Father, will be when he get* all his children home with him in Hea venl And how delightful it will be for brothers and sisters to meet after long separation) Once they parted at the door of the tomb; now they meet at the door of immortality. Once they saw only through a glass darkly, now it is face to face; corruption, incorruption; mortality, immortality. IV here are now all their sins and sorrows and troubles? Overwhelmed in the Red ftna of Death while they passed through dry shod. Oates of pearl, capstones of amethyst, thrones of dominion do not stir my soul so much as the thought of home. Once there, let earthly sorrows howl like storms and roll like seas. Home! Let themes rot and empires wither. Home! Let the world die in earthquake struggle, anil be buried amid procession of planets and dirge of spheres. Home! Let everlasting ages roll irresistable sweep. Home! No sorrow, no crying. No tears. No ctnath. But home, sweet home; home, beautiful home, everlasting home, home, home with each other, home with angels, home with God. . One night lying on my lounge, when very tired, my children all around about me in full romp and hilarity and laughter —on the lounge, half awake and halt asleep, I dreamed this dream: I was iin a far country. It was not Persia, although more than oriental luxuriance crowned the cities. It was not tht tropics, although more than tropical fruitfulness filled the gardens. It was not Italy, although more than Italian softness filled the air. Aud I wandered around looking for thorns and nettles, but I found that none of them grew there, and I saw the sun rise, aud I watched to ate it set. but it sunk not. And l saw the' people in holiday attire, and 1 said: “When will they put off this and put on workmen’s garb and again delve in the mine or swelter at the forge?” but they never pu't oil the holiday attire. And I wandered in the suburbs of the city to find the pilace where the dead sleep, and I looked all along the line of the beautiful hills, tha place where the dead might most blissfully sleep, ami I saw towers and oastles, hut not a mausoleum or a monument or a white slab could 1 see. And I went into the chapel of tha great town and I said: “Where do the poor worship and where are the hard benches on whioh they sit?” And the answer was made me: “We have no pom-in . this country.” And then I wandered out to find the hovels of^the destitute, and I found mansions of amber and ivory and gold, but not a tear could 1 see, not a sigh could 1 hear, and I was bewildered and I sat down under the branches of a great tree and I said: “Where am I? and wheuos comes all this scene?” Aud then out from among the leaves, and up tha flowery paths and across the bright streams there came a beautiful group, thronging all about me, and as I saw them come I thought I knew their step, and as they shouted I thought I knew their voiees; but then they wore so gloriously arrayed in apparel such as I had never before witnessed, that I bowed as stranger to stranger. But when ag ain they dapped their hands and shouiied: “Weloom», welcome!” the mystery all vanished, and I found that time had gone and eternity had come, and wa were all together again in our new home in Heaven. And I looked around and I said, “Are we all here?” and the voices of many generations responded, “All here!” Aud while tears of gladness were * raising down our cheeks, and the branches of the Lebanon cedars were clapping their hands, and the towers of the great :ity were chiming their welcome, we all together began.to leap and shout,and sing, “Home, home;home, home!”
