Yes. there are a great multitude of young men who know that the question of the text is appropriate when asked in re- gard to them. They know the tempta- tions by which they are surrounded; they see so many who started life With as goml resolutions as they have who have fallen in the path. and they are ready to hear me ask the question of my text. “Is the young man Absalom safe 3” The fact is that this life is full of peril. He who undertakes it without the grace of God and a proper understanding of the conflicts into which he is oing must certainly be defeated. ust look off upon society toâ€"day. Look at the shipwreck of men for whom fair thin'r: were promised. and who started life with every advan- tage. Look at those who have dropped from high social position and from great fortune. disgraced for time. dis- graced for eternity. All who sacrifice their integrity come to overthrow. Take a. dishonest dollar and bury it in the centre of the earth and keep all the rocks of the mountain on top of it; then cover these rocks with all the diamonds of Golconda. and all the sil- ver of Nevada. and all the gold of Cali- fornia and Australia. and put on top of these all banking and moneyed in- stitutions, and they cannot keep down that one dishonest dollar. That one dishonest dollar in the centre of the earth will begin to heave and rock and upturn itself until it comes to the res- urrection of damnation. "As the part- ridge sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not. so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall eave them in the midst of his days, and at his and shall be a fool.” v“.-‘., any club, yuan, vuvubu his armies had been victorious. his sop had been slain, the father turned 1118 back upon the congratulations of the nation and went up the stairs of his palace, his heart breaking as he went. wringing his hands smuecimes and then again pressing them against his tegn- ples as though he would press them In. crying: "O Absalom. my son. my son! \Vould to God I had died for thee. 0 Ahgalop: my .5301). my _50n1',', Is it a question in regard to the es- tablishment of his throne! Does he say: "Have the armies of Israel been victorious! Am I to continue in my Imperial authority? Have I over- thrown my enemies?" Oh. no! There is one question that springs from his heart to the lip and springs from the “9 into the ear of the besweated and beduswd messenger flying from the battlefieldâ€"the nus->tion. "Is the young man Absalom safe I" when it was told to .Davzid._ t_he kiqg, that, though L2- -,.,, his father's government. The day of battle had come. The conflict was be- gun. David. the father, sat between the gates of the palace waiting for the tidings of the conflict. 0h. howraPidly his heart beat with emotion! Two great questions were to be decidedâ€" the safety of his boy and the continâ€" name of the thmne of Israel. After awhile, a servant, standing on the top of the house. looks off and sees some one running. He is coming with great Speed. and the man on top of the house announces me coming of the messen‘ get. and the father watches and waits and as soon as the messenger from the {i Id of battle romes within hail ing (15‘ tance the fame: cries out. But. not withstanding all his brilliancy 0‘ appearance. he was a bad boy and broke his father's heart. He was plot.- ting to gain the throne of Israel. He had marshaled an army to overthrow The heart of David. the father, was wrapped up in his boy Absalom. He was a splendid boy, judged by the rules of Worldly criticism. From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot there was not a single blemish. The Bible says that he had such a luxuriant shock of hair that when once a year it was shom what W83 out off weighed over three pounds. a subject of universal interest to young men.

No man can continuously break the Sabbath and keep his physi- cal and mental health. Ask those aged men, and they will tell you they never knew men who continuously Another safeguard IS a. respect for the Sabbath. :l'ell me how a young man spends hrs Sahbath and 1 will tell you what are hls prospects in bus- iness, and I will tell you what are his prospects for the eternal world. God has thrust into our busy life a sacred day when'we are to look after our souls. Is It exorbitant. after giving six days to the feeding and clothin of these perishable bodies. that Go should demand one day for the feed- ing and clothing of the lmmqrtql soul? Another safeguard that I want to Pres?“ to young men is a. high ideal of hie. Sometimes soldiers going into battle shoot into the ground instead of Into the hearts of their enemies. They are apt to take aim too low, and it is very often that the captain. going in to yonllict with his men, will cry out. “how. men, aim high!” The fact is that_1n life a great many men take no aim at all. The artist plans out his entire thought before he puts it upon canvas. before he takes up the crayon or the chisel. An architect thinks out the entire building before the work- men begin. Although everything may seem to be unorganized, that architect has in his mind every Corinthian col- umn. every Gothic arch, every Byzan- tine capital. A poet thinks out the entire plot of his poem before he be- gins to chime the cantos of tinkling rhythms. And yet there are a great many men who start the important structure of life without knowing whether it is going to be a. rude Tar- tar’s hut or a St. Mark’s cathedral. and. begin to write out1 the intricate poem of their life Without knowing whether it is to be a Homer’s "Odys- sey" or a. rhymester’s botch. Out of 1000 999 have no life plot. Booted and spurred and caparisoned. they hasten along. and I run out and say: “Hallo. man! Whither away 3" “Nowhere!"1 they say. 0 young man, make every‘ day's duty a. filling up of the great life; plot. Alas, that there should be on‘ this sea of life so many ships thatl seem bound. for no portl They are} swept every whither by wind and} wave, up by the mountains and downi by the valleys. They sail with no‘ chart. They gaze on no star. TheyI long for. no. harbor. 0 young man. have a high ideal and press to it. and it will be a. mighty safeguard. Therea never were grander opportunities opâ€"j ening before young men than are open-, ing now. Young men .of the strong? arm, and of. the strong heart, and of! the bounding step, .1 marshal you toâ€"l day for a great achievement. 1 .- 0h. young man, you must have in- dustry of head or hand or foot or perâ€" ish! Do not have th" idea that you can get along in the world by genius. The curse of this country to-day .13 geniusesâ€"men with large self conceit and nothing else. The man who pro- poses to make his living by 1118 Wlts probably has not any. 1 should rather be an ox, plain and plodding and use- ful, than to be an eagle, high flying and good for nothing Lut to pick out. the eyes of carcasses. Even in the garden of Eden it was not safe for Adam to be idle, so God made. him .3 horticulturist. and. if the married pair had kept busy dressing the vines they would not have been sauntering under; fruit that, the tree. hankering after ruined them and their posterity!

There are ‘a great many people trying to make their yvay through the world with their wits instead of by honest toil. There is a. young man who comes trom the coun- try to the city. He fails twice before he is as old as his father was when he first saw the spires of the great towm. He is seated in his room at a rent of 32.000 8. year, waiting for the banks to declare their dividends and the stocks to run up. After awhile he sets impatient. He tries to improve his penmanship by making copy dates of other merchant's signatures. Never miml~all is right. in business. After awhile he has his estate.

They started [or the theatre to see that vile play, and their early convictions came hack upon them. They felt it was not right to go, but still they went. They came to the door of the theatre. One of the young men stopped and started for home, but returned and come up lathe door, but had not the courage to go in. He again started for home and went home. The other young man went in. He went. from one degree of tempta- tion to another. Caught in the whirl of frivollty and sin. he sank lower and lower.

Six days shalt. thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work." A man said that he would prove all this was a fall:wy,and so he said, "I shall raise a Sunday crop." And he plowed the field on the Sabbath, and then he put in the seed on the Sabbath, and he cultured the ground on the Sabbath. When the harvest was ripe. he reaped it on the Sabbath. and he carried it into the mow on the Sabbath. and then he stood out defiant to his Christian neighbors and said. “There, that; is my Sunday crop: and it is all garnered.” After awhile a storm came up, and a great darkness. and the lightnings of heaven struck the barn and away went his Sunday qrop. broke the Sabbath who did not fail in mind, body or moral principle.

THE CHARGE. He concluded at 12.20. and his Lord- ship Mr. Justice Ferguson immediately began his charge to the jury. In his charge the learned Judge did not take up the specific points of the evidence. but rather dealt with the broad general outlines of the case. The genera trend of his charge was decidedly in favor of the prisoners, and he spoke frequently ot the unsupported sus icions which seemed by the charge 0 the prosecu- tion to be directed against the accused. He scarcely touched at all upon the eviâ€" dence elicited by the Crown's examina- tion in chief, but frequently brought into clear relief the paints which were obtained by the counsel for the defence in their cross-examination of the wit- nesses. The testimony of the defence. too. was given much credence by his Lordship. The charge wasa very stro and clear one, admirably delivered. an was listened to with grofound respect not only by the jury ut the throngfiad court room. 'l‘oward the close of is charge his Lordship was especially im- pressive, and when before dismissing the jury. after a very strong charge to them in favor of the prisoners. he point- ed out to them \hat the true spirit of Brit ish justice leaned toward the escape of many guilty persons rather thanthe mistaken conviction of one innocent one, the auditors in the court room felt that the scales of justice were held by a. strong and steady hand.
