THESAUA Further - .r i^BEK n« Facts Aln*djri -lattnlen with Who TmM Qt velous Case la the 1 Medical Self ! A few weeks ago an artlele appeared In this paper copied from the Albany, N. Y.,. Journal, giving the jikrticulareof one of the most remarkable cures of* the 19th century The article was under the heading “A Saratoga Co. Miracle,” and excited such widespread comment that another Albany paper —the Express—detailed a reporter to make a'thorough investigation statements appearing in the #JBMft t’s" article- The facts aa elicited by the Express reporter are given in the follow! »g article, which appeared in that paper on April 16th, and makes one of theoapost in&resting stories ever related5*“':.* A few weeks ago there was published in the Albany Evening Journal the story of a moat remarkable—indeed so. remarkable as to well justify the term “miraculous”—euro ot a severe ease of locomotor .ataxia, or creeping paralysis; simply by the use of Pink Fills for Pale People, and, In compliance with instructions, an Express reporter has been devoting some time in a critical Investigation of the real frets of the ease The story of the wonderful cure of Charges A. Quant of Galway, Saratoga county, N. Y., a* first toitl iu “The Journal,” has been copied into hundreds if not thousands of other daily ai td weekly newspapers aud has created ouch a sensation throughout the entire country that it was deemed a duty due ail the people and esKcmlly the thousands of similarly afflicted, at the statements of the case as made in “The Albany Journal” and copied into so many other newspapers should, if true, be tany otuer newspapers i.uuutu, u u ue, ut verified; or, If false, exposed as an imposivvrvini, or, a luiar, tion upon publio credulity. The result of the Express reporter’s investigations authorizes him in saying that the story of Charles A. Quant’s euro of locomotor ataxia by tho use of Pink Pills for Pale People, a popular remedy jwejjmrcd t popular r and put up by the Dr. .W llliums Company, Morristown, S. Y., and Brockville, Ontario, IS TRUE, and that ail Its statements aro not only justified, but verified by the fuller development of the further facts of the case. Perhaps the readers of the Express are not all of them fully familiar with the details of this miraculous restoration to health of a man who after weeks and mouths of treatment by the most skillful doctors in two of the best hospitals iu the state of New York—the Roosevelt hospital in New York city and St Peter s hospital In Albany—was dismissed trom each as incurable and, because the ease was deemed incurable, the man was denied admission into several others to which application was made la his behalf. The story as told by Mr. Quant himself and published iu the Albany Journal, is as follows “My name Is Charles A. Quant. I am 37 years old. 1 was born in the v Hinge of Galway and excepting while traveling on business and a little while lit Amsterdam, have spent my whole life here. Up to about eight years ago 1 had never been sick and was then in perfect health. 1 w as fully six feet tall, weighed ISO pounds and was very atrbng. For 13 years I was traveling salesman for a piano and organ company. o, or at least did do, a great deal and had to do,- . _ of heavy lifting, got my meals very irregularly and slept in enough ‘spare beds' in country houses to freoze any ordinary mau to death, or at least give litm the rheumatism. About eight years ago 1 began to feci distress in my stomach, aud consulted several doctors about It. They all said it •»» u-j dyspepsia, and for dyspenst- i was treated by various doeto** »•* aineient places, aud idok all me patent medicines 1 could hear bf that claimed to be a cure for dyspepsia. But I continued to grow gradually worse fqr four years. Then 1 began to have pain ‘ - back and legs and bet aine conscious ■ Un___ j . aHH I that «ny legs were getting weak and my stepunstca ly, and then I staggered when 1 walked. Having received no benefit from the use of listent medicines, and feeling that I was "constantly growing worse, 1 then, upon advice, began the use of electric belts, pads and all the many different kinds of electric appliances I could hear of, and ejpent hundreds of dollars ’or them, but they* did me no good. (Hcse Mr. Quant showed the Journal reporter an electric suit of underwear, for which ho paid $191). In the fall of 18S8 the doctors advised a change of climate, so I -went to Atlanta, Ga., and acted as agent for the Estoy Organ Company. While there I took a thorough electric treatment, but it only seemed to aggravate my disease, and the ouly relief I could get from the sharp aud distressing pains was to take morphine The pain was so intense at times that it scenic 1 as though I could not stand It, and I almost longed for death as t he ouly certain relie f. In September «“ my l ....... I cad double sight and wns dizzy. My aeatn as toe ouly < beroflSSS my legs gave oul entirely and - left eye was drawn to one side, so thai trouble so affected my whole nervous system that I had to give up business. Then I returned to New York anX went to tho Itooscvelt hospital, where for four months f was treated by specialists and they pro■I_ ny < curable. Afterl had been under treatment by Prof. Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they told mo they tad done all they could for me. Then 1 wen* to the New York hospital on Fifteenth street, where, upon examination, they said 1 was incurable and would not take me in. At the Presbyterian hpepital they examined me and told me the same thing. In March, PwO, I was taken to St Peter a hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Him frankly told my wife my ease was hopeless; that he could do nothing for me and that she had batter take me Dack home mid save my inkney. But I wanted to make a trial of Prof. Hnn’s famous skill and 1 remained under his treatment for nine weeks, but secured no benefit All this time I bad been Sowing worse. I had become eutirely paryxed from my waist down and had partly lost control of my hands. The pain was

In the Albany hospital they put 17 big burns on toy back one day with red hot irons and after a few days they put 14 more burns on and treated me with electricity, but 1 got worse rather than better; lor.t control of my bowels and water, and, upon advice of the doctor, who said there was no hope for me, 1 was brought home, where it was thought that death would soon come to relieve me of my sufferings. Last September, while In this helpless and suffering condition, a friend of mine in Hamilton, Ont, called my attention to the statement of oue John Marshall, whose case hud been similar to my own, and who had been cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills for Pale People. In this case Mr. Marshall, who is a prominent member of the Royal Uemplars of Temperance, had, after four years of constant treatment by the most eminent Canadian physicians, been pronounced incurable, and paid the $1,000 touti disability claim allowed by the order in such cases. Some months after Mr. Marshall begau a course of treatment with Dj, iWilllams’ Pink Pills, and after taking some 15 boxes was fully restored to health. 1 thought 1 would try them, and my wife neat for two boxes of the pills, and 1 took t rem according to the directions on the wrapper on each box. For the first few cays the cold baths were pretty severe as I waa so very weak, but 1 continued to follow i nstmetions as to iHiking the pills and the treatment, and even before 1 had used up the two boxes of the pills I began to feel beneikial results from them. My pains were not so bad. 1 felt wanner; my head felt bettor; my feed began 16 relish and agree with me; I could straighten np; the feeling began to come back into my limbs; I began t» be able to get about on crutches; my eye came back again as good as ever, and uow, after the use of eight boxes of the pills, at a cost of only $4.0&—seel—I can with iheholpof a cane only, walk all about the house and yard, can saw wood, and on p easant days I walk down town.

In order that our rejxn-ter might Ret n copy of tho. history of the case or Mr. Quaut from the hospital record ho very courteously gave him a letter of which the following is » copy:— , v i>r. M. A.

By means of this letter access to the records was permitted and a transcript or the history ot Mr. Quant's case made from them as follows:— . , „ , "No. 14,081. Admitted September 16th, 1SS9, Charles A. Quant, aged 34 years. Born V. S, Married. Hoboken.” History ol the case:—Dyspepsia for i*st four or five years.

And then said: "Dr. Waro can tell you more about the case as Quant was under his more personal treatment. 1 am surprised,” he said, “that the man is alive, as I thought he must be dead Ions? ago.r’ Onr reporter found P»*. Edward Ware at hts office, No. lta West Ninety-third street, New York. He said: “I have very distinct recollections or the Quant ease. It was a very pronouuned ease. 11 rested him about eight months. This was in the early summer of 1890. I deemed him incurable, and thought him dead before now. Imagine my surprise when 1 received a letter from nun about two weeks ago telling me that lie was alive, was get ting well and expected soon to be fully recovered.” . "What do you think, doctor, was the cause of his recovery 1” “That is more than I kuow. Quant says he has been taking some sort of p.lis and that they have cured 1dm. At all events, 1 am glad Ihe peer fellow is getting well, for his was a bad case and he was a great sufDr. Theodoirc R. Tuttle, No. 319 West Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is Indebted lor assisting courtesies, said of locomotor ataxia: "1 have had seveytd cases of this disease iu the course of my practice I will uot say that it is incurable, hut 1 never knew oi a caso to get well; but I will say it is not deemed curable by any remedies known to tho medical profession. ’ After this successful and confirmatory investigation in New York, our rei« rter, Saturday April ind, 1892, visited St PeterV. hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception by Sister Marv ruilomena, tho sister superior. of st. reter's hospital, and when to id the object of his visit, said she rememi.eredthe ease of poor Mr. Quant very distinctly. Said she: "It was a very distressing ease and excited my sympathies much. l'oor fellow he couldn't bo cured and had to go home in a terrible condition ot lietpiessnessaud suffering.” The houso physician, on consulting tho records of St. reter's hospital, said ho found only that Charles A. Q ant entered the hospital March 14th, 1890, was treated by Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by Dr. Van Derveer, who was thou, 189t>. at tho head of the hospital, ttnd that his case being deemed not possible ol euro, lie left the hospital and was taken tc his home, as hesupposed todio. Such is thiWuU history of this most remarkable ease of successful recovery from a heretofore supposed ineurablo disease, and after all tlie doctors bad given him up, by the simple use of Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People. Truly It Is an interesting story of a most miraculous euro of a dreadful disease by the simple use of this popular remedy. A further investigation revealed tho fact that Dr. Williums’ Pink Pills are not a patent medicine in the sense iu width that term is usually understood, but aro u scientific preparation successfully used in general practice for many years -before being offered to the public generally. They contain in a condensed form ail the elements uecossary to give new life ami richness to the blood, and restore shattered nerves They aro an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, herveus headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired ioellng resulting from nervous prostration;, all diseases depending upon vitiated humors tu the Wood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, eto They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks. Iu the caso of men they effect a radical euro in all cases arisiug from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. On further inquiry tho writer found that these pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, BrockviUe, Ontario, and Morristown, N. Y„ and arc sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred) at SO cents a box, or sir boxes for 52.00, and may be had of ail drug gists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, from either address The price at which these pills are sole makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment.

_ In a recent discourse in the Brooklyn T. DeWitt TaImage of Jesus” for his tabernacle Rev. look “The Name theme. The text was.The name which is above every name —PhilPlans ii.,». Paul is here making rapturous and enthusiastic description of the name of Ihrist, There are merely worldly names that sometimes thrill yon through and through. Such was the name of Henry Clay to a Kentuckian, the name of William Wirt to a Virginian, the name of Daniel Webster toa New Englander. By common proverb we have come (to believe that --there is nothing in a name."’ and so parents sometimes at' thc baptismal altar give titles to their children, reckless of the faet that that title, that name, will be a life-time hinderajree or a lifetime help. You have rtWright to give your ehild a name lacking either in euphony or moral meaning. It is a sin to call a child Jehoiakim, or Tiglathpilcser—or by anything that is disagreeable. Because you have had an exasperating name yourself is no reason why yon should inflict it upon your progeny. And yet how often it is that we see a name full of jargon rattling down from generation to generation. simply because a long while ago some one happened to he afflicted with it. Institutions and great enters prises sometimes without sufficient deliberation take nomenclature. Mighty destinies have been decided by a name. While we may, by a long course of Christian behavior, get over the misfortune of having been baptized with the name of a despot or a cheat, now much better it would have been if we could have all started life without any such inenmbranee! When Paul, in my text and in other passages of Scripture, burst forth in aspirations of admiration for the name of Christ, 1 want to inquire what are the characteristics of that appellation, ‘-The name which is above every name.” In the first plaee, speaking to yon in regard to the name of Christ, I want to tell you it is an easy name. Yon art- sometimes introduced to people with long unpronounceable names, and you have to listen eautiously to get the names, and you have to hear them pronounced two or three times before you risk trying to utter them: but within the first two years the little chilli folds its hands and looks upward, and says: “Jesus.” Can it In- that in all this church this morning there are representatives of any household where the children are familiar with the names of the father and mother and brother and sister,s yet know nothing about --that name which is above every name?“ Sometimes you forget the name of a quite familiar friend, and you have to think and think and think before you get it: but can you imagine any freak of intellect by which you should forget the name of Jesus? That word seems to fit theSongue in every rtiuleet. Down to old age, when the voice is tremulous, and uncertain, and indistient, even then this regal word finds potent utterance. When an aged father was dying, one of the children came and said: “Father, do yon know me?” and in the delirium of the last sickness he said: “No, 1 don't know you.” Another ehild came and said: “Father, dil you know me?” “No,” he said. “1 don't know you.” Then the village pastor came in and said: “Do yon know me?” He said: “No. I don't think I ever saw yon.” Then, said the minister: “Do you know Jesus?" “Oh. yes!" said the dyman. “1 know Jesus: ehief among ten t housand is He, and the one altogether lovely.” Yes for all ages and for all languages, and for all conditions it is on easv name.

Jems. 1 love Thy charming name. Tis musk to my ear; Fain would I sound it out so loud That Heaven and earth might hear. Hut 1 remark further in regard to this name of Christ that it is a beautiful name. Now you have noticed that you ean not disassociate a name from the character of the person who has it. There are some names, for instance, that are repulsive to my ear. Those names are attractive to your ear. What is the difference? Why. 1 happened to know some persons of that name who were cross, or sour, or queer, or unsympathetic, and the persons yon h.tve happened to know of that name were kind and genial. Sinee, then, we can not disassociate a name from the character of the pel-son who has the name, that consideration makes the name of Jesus unspeakably beautiful. 1 ean not pis mounts- that name in your presence. but you think of Bethlehem and ticthsemane and Golgotha, and you see His loving face and you hear His tender voice and yon feel His gentle touch. As soon as 1 pronounce His name in yonr presence yon think of Uiim who banqueted with heavenly hierarchs, yet who came down and breakfasted on the fish which the rough men hauled out of Genesaret: you think of Him who. though the clouds are the dust of His feet walked footsore on the road to Kmmaus. I can not speak His name in your hearing this morning, but yon think right away of the Shining One who restored the centurion's daughter, and who helped the blind inan to sunlight, and who made the cripple's eruteh useless, and who looked down into the laughing eyes of the babe until it struggled to go to Him; then, dinging His arms around it, and impressing a kiss upon its beautiful brow said; “Of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” Oh. beautiful name, the name of Jesus, which stands for love, for patience, for self-sacrifice, for magnanimity, for everything that is good and glorious and tender and sympathetic and kind! It is aromatic with all odors. It is accordant will all harmonies. Sometimes, when I look at that name of Jesus Christ, it seems as if the letters were made of tears, and they seem to lie gleaming crowns. Sometimes that name seems to be twisted out of the straw on which Ho lay, and then it seems to be built out of the thrones on which His people arc to reign. Sometimes I sound that word Jesus, and I hear, it in the sobs of Gethsemane and the groan of calvary, and then I speak, His name and it is ail a-ripple with gladness and a-ring with hosanna. Glorious name! Take all the glories of bookbindery ancl put them around the page on which that name is printed. On Christmas mosming wreath it on the wall, bet it drip from harp's string and let it thunder out in organ's disapason. Sound it often, sound it well, until every star shall seem to shine it, and every flower shall seem to breathe it, and mountain anil: sea, and day and night, and earth and; Heaven acclaim in full chant, “Blessed be llis 'glorious name forever.” “The name which Is above everyname.” Have yon ever heard in a Methodist church, during a time of revival, a score ‘Sr ' '■* " ;!-i* ••

old nail and he puts his cane U the usual place, and he lies on his touch, and he says to his children and g raudchildren: “My dears, 1 am going away from you.” And they say: ‘'Why, where are you going grandfather?’’ “Ohr*hesays. “lam going to Jnust” and so the old man faints away into Heaven. And the litttlc child comes in from play and she flings herself in your lap. and she says, “Mamma, I’m so sick, l‘m so very sick:” and you put her to bed, and the fever is worse and worse, and some midnight, while you are shnkiug up the pillow and giving the medicine, she looks up in your face and says: “Mamma. I'm going away from yon.” You say: “Why, where are you going, my darling?” And she says: “I am going to Jesus.” And the red cheek that you take to be the mark of the fever turns out to be the eamation bloom of Heaven. Oh? was it not beautiful when a little child heard that her playmate was dying, and she went to the house, and she clambered upon the bed of her dying playmate, and she said to the dying playmate: “Where are you going to?” and the dying girl said:1’ I’m going to Jesus.” Then said the little girl that was well, as she bent over to give the parting kiss to her dying Maymate: “Well, then, if you are going to Jesus, give my love to Him.” It is a beautiful name, whether on the lips of childhood or on the lips of the old man. When my father was dying the village minister sakl to him, quoting over his pillow the passage: “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” and there he stopped. Then my father finished the quotation by saying, “of whom I am chief.” But I remark again, in regard to this name of Christ, that it is a mighty name. Rothschild is a name mighty in the commercial world. Silliman is a name mighty in the scientific world, Irving is a name mighty in the literary world. Washington is a name might y in the political world, Wellington is a name mighty in the military world; but where in all the earth is a name so potent to lift, and thrill, and arouse, and rally, and bless, as the name of Jesus! Why, the sound of that one name unhorsed Saul, and threw Newton on his face on ship's deck: and that one name to-day, while 1 speak, holds a hundred million souls under omnipotent spell That name in England to-day means more than Victoria. In tiennany that name to-day means more than Emperor William. Oh, mighty name. I have seen a man bound hand and foot of the devil and captive of all evil habits, at the sound of that name dash down his shackles and march out forever free. 1 have seen a man overcome of misfortune and trial every kind of trouble had he: but at the sound of that, name the sea dropped and the clouds partial and the sunburst of eternal gladness poured upon his soul. 1 have seen a man hardened in infidelity, defiant of Clod, full of jeer and scoff, jacose of the judgment day. reckless of eternity, at the sound of that name blanch, and cower, and groan, and kneel and weep, and repent, and pray, and believe, and rejoice, and triumph. Oh! it is a mighty name. Under its power the last temple of superstition will come down, and the last Juggernaut of iniquity will be shattered to pieces. The red horse of carnage, spoken of in apoealyptie vision.1 and the black horse of death must come back on their haunches: while the white hoi'se of victory goes forth, mounted of him ivho hath the moon under His feet, and the stars of Heaven foe His tiara. Mighty name! It will first make the whole earth tremble, and then it will make all the nations sing. Mighty name! Other dominions seem to he giving way; France had to give up some of her favorite provinces: Spain has lost a great deal of her power: many of the thrones of the world are being lowered: many of the scepters of the world are being shortened, but every tract-dis-tributor, every Bible printer, every Christian institution established, spreads abroad the mighty name of Christ. It has already been heard under the Chinese wall and in the Siberian snow castle, and in the Brazilian grove, and in the Eastern pagoda. That name will swallow up all other names. That erown will yet cover up all other crowns. That empire will yet compass all dominations. All crimes shall cease and ancient frauds shall feel.

Returning justice litt aloft her scale. Peace o’er the world her olive wand extend. And white-robed iunoc nee from Heaven descend. llut 1 remark again, taking a stop forward in this subject, that the name of Christ is an enduring name. You get over the fence of the graveyard and you pull th0 weeds hack from the name that has nearly faded from the torn!stone, and yon wish that Walter Scott’s “Old Mortality” would come along ami reehisel it so that you might really find out what the name is. Why. that was the name of the greatest man in all the town, in all the country, in all the state, now almost faded from the tombstone. And so the greatest names of this world either have perished or are perishing. Gregory Yl., Sanehoof Spain, Conrad L of Germany, Richard I. of England, Catharine of Russia. Those names were onee mighty, and they made the earth tremble. Who eares for them now? None so poor as to do them reverence. But the name of Christ is enduring forever. It will he preserved in the workl’s fine art. There will he other Bellinis to sketeh the Madonna. and other Ghirlandaios to present the baptism of Christ, and other Bronzinos to show Christ visiting the spirits in prison, and other Giottos to appal the vision with the crucifixion. It will he preserved in the world's literature. There will he other Alexander Popes to write the "Messiah,” and other Ihr. Youngs to celebrate His triumph, and other Cowpers to sing Ills love. It will he preserved in the world’s grand and elaborate architecture, and l*rotestaism shall yet have its St. Mark's and St. l*eters. It shall be pre. served in the world's literature, for there will he other Paleys to write the “Evidence of Christianity.” More than all, it will be embalmed in the hearts of all the pood of earth, and all the great ones of Heaven, Shall the emancipated bondman ever forget who set him free? Shall the blind man ever forget the Divine physician who gave him sight? Shall the lost and wandering ever forget who brought them home? Why, to make the workl forget that name would be to burn up all the Bibles, and burn down all - the chiuehes, and then, in the spirit of universal arson, go through the gate of Heaven and put the torch to all the temples and mansions and palaces, until in an awful conflagration all Heaven went down, and the people came out to look upon the eharred ruins; hut even then they would hear the name of Christ in the thunder of falling towers and in the crash of temple walls, and see it interwoven the flying banners of flame, and of Heaven would say: and the patacw bum; ‘ ■*

up your Cwill accoet in Heaven? when you see Now, that » a practical question. For you will see Hind, child of God, just ns certain as you sit there and 1 stand here. By what name hare you made up your mind to call Christ when you first meet Him in Heaven? Will you call Him “Annotated One,” or “Messiah?” or will you take some one of the symbolic terms which you read in your Bible on earth—terms by which Christ was designated, Some day perhaps you will be wandering among the gardens of God on high, the place a-bloom with eterhal spring time, infinite luxury of lily and rose and amaranth, and perhaps you will look up into the face of Christ and say: “My Lord,'thou art the Rose of Sharon and the Lilly of the Valley.” Some time there will he a new soul come into Heaven to take its, place in the firmament and shine as the stars forever and ever, and the luster of a useful life will shine forth tremulous and beautiful, and you will look up into the face of Christ and say: “My Lord, thou art a brighter star, the Morning Star, the Star of Jacob, the Star of the RedeemSome day you will be walking among the fountains that toss in the sunlight, falling in' crash of pearl and amethyst into golden and crystalline urn, and wandering up the roundbanked river to the place where the water first , tinkles Its silver on the roek, and from ehaliees of love you will be drinking to honor, and everlasting joy, and you will took up into the face of Christ and say: “My Lord, my Lord, Thou art the Fountain of Living Water.” Some day you will be wandering among the lambs and sheep of Heaven feeding by the rock, rejoicing ta the care of Him who brought you out of the wilderness world into the sheepfold, and you will look up into His faee. and say: “My Lord, my Lord. Thou art the Shepherd of the Everlasting Hills.” Rut there is another name by which you can call llim. Verhaps that will he the name 1 have not mentioned yet. 1 imagine that Heaven is not all full. Every throne has its king. Every harp has its harper. All the wealth of the universe has come into Heaven. There*, is nothing to be added. The song full. The ranks full. The mansions all full. Heaven full. The sun will set afire with its splendor the domes of the temple, and burnish the golden streets into a blaze, and be refleeted back from the solid pearl of the twelve gates, and it would be noon in Heaven. Noon on the river. Noon on the hills. Noon in the valley. High noon. And then you look up. gradually accustoming your vision to the sight, shading your eyes at the first lest they be extinguished with the insufferable splendor. until after awhile yon can look upon the full irradiation, and yon will ery out, “My Lord, my Lord, Thou art the sun that never sets.” But at this point 1 aiu staggered with the thought that there may be persons in this house for whom this name has no charms, though it is so easy, though it is so beautiful, though it is so potent, though it is so enduring. Oh; eome today, and see whether there is anything in Christ. 1 challenge' yon to test with me this morning whether Cod is £oud. and whether Christ is precious, and whether the Holy Ghost is omnipotent. Come, my brother. 1 challenge you. Come, and we will kneel at the altar of merey. Yon kneel on one side of the altar and I will kneel on the other side of the altar of mercy, and we will not get up fMn our knees until our sins are pardoned and we are able to aseribe all honor to the name—you pronouncing it and 1 pronouncing it—“the name whieh is above every name."

Sure the whole earth would love Him, too. I pray (loti He may move upon this assemblage now, that we may see Him walking all through these aisles, that the lloly Spirit may spread his wings over this auditory. Now is your time for Heaven. O my friends! meeting onee, perhaps never again until the books are opened, what shall we say of this morning's service? Have 1 told yon the whole truth? Have yon listener! to the whole truth? Now is yotir time for Heaven. Come .into the kingdom. If yon never had an invitation before 1 give it to yon now. 1 do not ask what your sin has been, or what your wandering. That is not pertinent to the question. The only thing is whether yon want Christ. Come in, the furthest off. Come, the nearest by. "Where sin abounded grace shall much more abonnd." Is there in all this august assemblage a man who feels he is too wieked to come? You are mistakenCome now. "Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation.'' K O ye who are young! come now. It' is no gloomy religion that I preach. It will take no lustre from your eye. It will take no color from your eheek. It will take no spring from your step. 1 know what 1 am talking about. 1 have felt the consolation of this grace in my own heart. It is not a theory with me. 1 know on whom 1 believe, and He has been so good a friend tome, I have a right this morning to commend His friendship to all the people. Oh! come into the kingdom. Do not say yon are too bad. "Let the wieked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts.” "Look unto me, all ye ends of the earth.” How is lie going to do—drive you into the kingdom? He will not do it. If yon get in at all. it- will be because yon are drawn in by His love. What does He say? "Look mate me, all ye ends of the earth.” lie was lifted up. What for? To drive? No! lifted up to draw. Oh! come now, come now into the kingdom of our Lord Jesus. You have heard of that warrior of aneient times who went into bottle against Christ. He hated Christ, and he went into battle fighting Christ; but in the battle he goA wounded, he was struck by the arrow and fell, and as he lay with his faee up to the sun, and the life-blood oozing away, he put his hand to his heart and took a handful of blood from the wound, and held it up towards the sun, and cried out: "O Jesus! thou has conquered." Anil if to-day. my hearer, struck through by the arrow of Hod’s gracious Spirit, you realize the truth ol what I have been saying, yon would surrender yourself to the Lord who bought you; you would say: “I will no longer battle against Christ's mercy. Lord Jesus, thou hast conquered." Glorious name! 1 know not what you will do with it: but 1 will tell you one thing before I stop—I must tell it. I will tell you one thing here and now. that 1 take Him to be my Lord, my God, my pardon, my peace, my comfort, my salvation. my Heaven, blessed be His glorious name forever.
