peace, rvl'ng midway in th* Christian heart! Sometimes yon have gone ont on the iron-bound beach of the sea when there lias been a storm on the ocean, anil you have seen the waves dash into white foaut your feet. They did not do you any harm. While there yon thought of the chapter written by the Psalmist, and perhaps you recited it to yourself while the storm was making commentary on the passage: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. Therefore will 1 not fear thoush the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea: though the waters thereof roar and b? troubled; though the mountains shak» with the swelling thereof. Selah!” Oh. how independent the religion of Christ makes a man of worldly success and worldly circumstances ! Nelsou, the nigtit before his last battle, said: “To-morrow t shall win either a peerage or a grave in Westminster Abbey.” And it does not make much difference to the Christrian whether he rises or falls iu worldly matters; he has everlasting renown anyway. Other plumage may be torn in the blast, taut that soul adorned with Christian grac.’’ is fairer than the dove, its wings covered with silver and its feathers with yellow gold. You and I have found out that people who pretend to be happy ore not always happy, hook at that young laau caricaturing the Christian religion, seofflug at every thing good, going into roystering drunkenness, dashing the chtimpague bottle to the floor, rolling the glasses from the bar-room counter, laughing, shouting, stamping the floor, shrieking. Is he happy? 1 will go to his midnight pillow. I will see him tnrn the gas off, I will ask myself if the.pillow.on which he sleeps is as soft as the pillow on which that pure young man sleeps. Ah! no. When he opens his' eves, in the morning will the world be as bright to him as to that young man who retired at night saying, his prayers, invoking God’s blessing upm his own soul and the souls of his comrades, and father and mother and brothe rs and sisters far away? No, no. His laughter will viug out from the saloon so t»at you hear it a: yon pass by, but it is hollow laughter; in it is the snapping of heart-strings and the the rattle of prison gates. Happy! that ycuug man happy! Let him fill high the bowl; he can not drown tu upbraiding conscience. Let the balls roll through the bowling alley; the deep rumble and the sharp crack can not overptgprer the voices of condemnation. Let him whirl . in the dance

Why, across every night there flit shadows of eternal darkness; there are adders coiled up in every cup; there are vultures of despair striking their iron beak into his heart; there are skeleton Angers of grief pinching at the throat. I come iu amid the clinking of the glasses and under th > Hashing of the chandeliers, and I cry: “W'oe! woe! The way of the ungodly shall perish. There is no peace, saith my God to the wicked. The way of transgressors is hard.” Oh, my friends, there is inoi-e jbv in one cup of Christian satisfaction than in the whole river of sinful delight. Other wings may drenched of the storm and splashed of the tempest, but the dove that tomes in through the window of.this Heavenly ark has wings like the dove covered with stiver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

""-Agom t remark, religion is au adorn-mentW-JiSS style of usefulness into which it induct* a'fiHUn Here are two young men. The one ht«8ae. exquisite wardrobe, plenty ot friends, jffftijworld-^ ly success, but he lives for himself.'—ITTS* chief care is for his own comfort. He lives uselessly, lie dies nnregretted. Here is (mother young man. His apparel may not be so good, his education may not be so thorough. He lives for others, llis happiness is to make others happy. He is as self-deuving as that dying soldier. falling in the ranks, when he said: “Colonel, there is no need ot those boys tiring themselves by carrying me to the hospital; let me die just where I am.” So this young man of whom I speak loves God, wants all the world to love Him, is not ashamed to carry a bundle of clothes up that dark alley to the poor. Which of those young men do you admire? The one a sham, the other a prince imperial. Oh. do yon know of any thing, my hearer. that is more beautiful than to see a young man start out for Christ? Here is some one falling; he lifts him up. Here is a vagabond boy; he introd tees him to a mission school. Here is a family freezing to death: he carries them a scuttle of coal. There are eight hundred mill on ]>erishing in midnight heathen darkness; by all possible means he tries to send to them the Gospel. He may be laughed at, and he may be caricatured, but he is not ashamed to go everywhere, saying: “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of (Christ. It is the power of Ood and the wisdom of God unto salvation.” Such a young man can go through every thing. There is no force on earth or in hell that can resist him. 1 show you three spectacles. Spectacle the first: Napoleon passes by with the host that went down with him to Kgypt, and up with him through Russia, and crossed continent on the bleeding heart of which he set his iron heel, and aeioss the quivering flesh of which he went grin ding the wheels of his gun-carriages--in his dying moment asking his attendants^to put on t his military boots for him. Spectacle the second: Voltaire, bright .and learned, and witty and eloquent, with tongue and voice and stratagem infernal, warring against God and poisoning whole kingdoms with his infidelity, yet applauded by the clapping hands ot thrones and empires and continents —his last words, in delirium supposing Christ standing by the bedside—his last words: “Crash that wretch!” Spectacle the third: Paul--Paul, insignificant in person, thrust ont from all refined association, scourge.I, spat on, hounded like a wild beast from city to city, yet trying to make the world good and Heaven full; announcing resurrection to those who mourned ut the barred gates of the dead; speaking consolations which light up the eyes of widowhood,and orphanage, and want with glow of certain and eternal release; unda anted before those who coaid take his life, his cheek flushed with transport, and his eye on Heaven; with one hand shaking defiance at all the foes of earth and all the principalities of hell, and with the other hand beckoning messenger wage In to come and bear him away, as he says: “1 am now ready to be offered, and the time ot my departure is at hand; t ha e fought the good fight, I hare finished my coarse, I have kept the faith; hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness 1 which the Lord, the rigfcteoc s Judge, will give me.” Which of the three spectacles do yon : most: admire? When the wind of death struck the conqueror and th t infidel they were tossad like sea gulls in a tempest, drenched of the wave and torn of the hurricane, their dismal roices heard through the everlasting Btor m; but when the urave and the wind of death struck Paul, like ah albatross he made a throne of the tempest, and one day floated away into the calm, clear snmmn-of Heaven, brighter than the dove, i ts 'rings covered with silver and its feathers with yellow gold. Oh, are yon not in li re with such a relfeSon—a religion that! can do so much for a man while he lives an l so much for yon may have noticed the contrast ^be- » to* dtpwturo of * Nrf

tho departure ot an infidel. Deodorus, dying in chagrin because he could not compose a joke equal to the joke uttered at the other end of his table. Zeuxis, dying in at fit of laughter at the sketch of an aged woman—a sketch made' by his own hand. Mazarin, dying playing cards, his friend holding his hands because he wa3 unable to hold them himself. All that on one side, compared with the departure of the Scotch minister, who said to his friends: “I have no interest as to whether I live or die; if 1 die I shall be with the Lord, and if I live the Lord shall be with me.” Or the last words of Washington: “It is well.” Or the last words of McIntosh, tho learned and the great: “Happy!” Or the last words of Hannah More, tho Christian poetess; “Joy!” Or those thousands of Christians who have gone, saying: t*Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Come, Lord Jesus, epme quickly.” “O, death, where is thy sting. O, grave, where is thy victory?”. Behold the contrast. Behold the charm of the one, behold the darkness of the other. Now, I know it is very popular in this day for young men to think there is something more charming in skepticism than in religion. They are ashamed of the oldfashioned religion of the cross, and they pride themselves on their free thinkiug on all these subjects. My young friends, I want toitell you what I know from observation, that while skepticism is a beautiful land at the start, it is the great Sahara Desert at the Iasi, Years ago a minister’s son went off from home to college. At college he formed the acquaintance of a young man whom I shall call Ellison. Ellison was an infidel. Ellison scoffed at religion, and the minister’s sou soon learned from him the infidelity, and when he went home on his vacation broke his father’s heart by his denunciations of Christianity. Time passed on and vacation came, mid the minister’s son went off to spend the vacation,, and was on a journey and came to a hotel. The hotel-keeper said: “lam sorry that to-night I shall have to put you in a room adjoining one where there is a very sick: and dying man. ‘I can give you no other accommodations.” “Oh,” said the young college student and minister’s son, “that will make no difference to me, except the matter of sympathy with any i body that is suffering. The yonng man retired to his room, but could not sleep. All night long he heard the groaning of the sick man, or the step of the watchers, aud his soul trembled. He thought to himself: “Now, there is only a thin wall between me and a departing spirit! How if Ellison should know how I feel? How if KUison should find out how my heart Butters? What would Ellison say it he knew my skepticism gave way?” He slept not In the morning, coming down, he said to the hotel-keeper: “How is the sick man!?” “Oh.” snql the hotel-keeper, “he is dead, poor fellow! the doctors told us he could not last through the night.” “Well,” said the young man, “what was the sick one’s, name? where is he from?” “Well,” said the hotel-keeper, “he is from Providence College.” “Providence College! What is hi« name?” “Ellison.” “Ellison!” Oh, how the young man was stunned ! It was his old college mate—dead without any hope. It was many hours before the young mem could leave that hotel. He got on his horse and started homeward, and all the way l^e heard something saying to him: “Dead! Lost! Dead! Lost!” He came to no satisfaction until he entered the Christian life, until to entered the Christian ministry, until he became one of the most eminent missionaries of the cross, tf»e greatest Baptist missionary

ine worm nas ever swn me «oja w Paul—no superior to Adoniram Judson. Mighty on earth, mighty in Heaven— Adoniram Judson. Which do you like the best—Jndson’s skepticism or Judson'ij tnirisirart^f'~^“*iso“’s suffering fori Christ's sake. J~ dom? Uh, young man, take y< nr choice betweem these two kinds of lives. Your own heart tells you. this morning, the Christian life is admirable, more peaceful, more comfortable and more beautiful. Oh, if religion does so much for a man on earth, what will it do for him in Heaven? That is the thought that comes to me now. lfl a soldier can be allowed to shont “Huzza”’when he goes into battle, how much more jubilantly he can afford to shout “Huzza!” when he has gained the victory i If religion is so good a thing to have here, how bright a thing it will be in Heaven! I want to see that young man when the glories of Hearen have robed and crowned him. I want to hear him sing when oil huskiness of earthly colds is gohe and he rises up with the great dozology. I want to know what standard he will carry when marching under arches of pearl in the army of banners. I want to know what company he will keep in a land where they are all kings and queens forever and ever. If I have induced one of you this .morning to begin a better life, then I want to know it. 1 may not in this world clasp hands with yon in friendship, I may not hear from your own lips the story of temptation and sorrow, but I will clasp hands with you when the sea is passed and the gates are entered, That I might woo you to a letter life, and that I might show you the glories with which God clothes his dear children in Heaven, I wish I could this morning swing back one of the twelve gates, that .there might dash upon your ear one shout of the triumph, that there might Same upon yonr eyes one blaze of the splendor. Oh, when I speak of that good land you involuntarily think of some one there that you lovad—father, mother, brother, sister or dear tittle child garnered already. You want to know what they are doing this morning. 1 will tell you whet they are doing. Singing. Yon want to know what they wear. I will tell you what they wear. Coronet* of triumph, You w wider why oft they look to the gate of the temple, and watch and wait.- I will toll you why they watch and walt^and Iqcjtjo the gate cf the temple. For yourcemieg..
