Make up your mind whether you will walk in earthly joys, or fly with heavenly expectations. Be not a bat, fit neith- er to walk nor fly, having just enough of heaven to spoil the world, and so much of the world as to spoil heaven, Christ says that your present condi- tion nauseates him to positive sick- ness: “Because thou art neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth 1” In the ruins of Pompeii there was found a petrified woman, who, instead of trying to fly from the destroyed city, had spent her time in gathering up her jewels. She saved neither her life nor her jewels. There are multi- tudes making the same mistake. In trying to get earth and heaven they lose both. “Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.” Be one thing or the other Tread the earth like a lion, or mount the air like the eagle; for my text says, "Ye shall have in abomination among the fowls, the bat.” Again, taking the suggestion of the text, drive out the chameleon from your. soul. There is some difference among good men as to the name of this creepin thing which God pro- nounced unc ean, but I shall take the opinion which seems best suited to my purpose. ‘ ' THE CHAMELEON is a reptile chiefly known by its changeableness of color, taking the color of the thing next to it, some- times brown, sometimes red, and sometimes grey, but always the color of its surroundings, a type of that class of Christians who are now one thing in religious faith, and now in- other, just to suit circumstances, al- ways taking their color of. religious belief from the man they are talking to. They go to Boston, and are first- rate Unitarians. “Jesus was a good man, but nothing more.” They go to' Princeton, and they are Trinitarians, almost willing to die for the divinity of Jesus.

Now I am going to die, and am very much perplexed, shall I believe you or take the belief of my mother!" The father said: “Choose for yourself.” She said. “No; I am too weak to choose for myself. I want you to choose for me.” “Well," said the father after much hesitation and em.- barrassment, “Mary, I think you had better take the religion. of your moth- er.” The time will come when we shall have to believe something.
