The text is II Kings, xi., 2, 3: "Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king‘s sons, which were slain, and they hid nim, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. And he was with her hid in the house of the Lora six years." Grandmothers are more lenient with their children‘s children than they were with their own. At 40 years of age of discipline be necessary chasâ€" tisement is used, but at 70 the grandâ€" mother, looking upon the misbehavior of the grandchild, is apologetic and disposed to substitute confectionery for whip. There is nothing more beautiful than childhood. Grandmother takes out her pocket handkerchief and wipes her gpectacles and puts them on and looks down into the face of her mischievous and rebellious descendant and says: "I don‘t think he meant to do it.

But I hear people say: ‘"What‘s the use of bothâ€" ering children with religious instrucâ€" tion? Let them grow up and choose for themselves. Don‘t interfere with their volition.‘" Suppose some one had said to Jehosheba: ‘"Don‘t interfere with that young Joash. Let him grow D," and hundreds of thousands were slain, hoping by that massacre to put an end to that one usurper. But sin is more terrific in its denunciation.

They are born of Alâ€" mighty parentage and will come to a throne or a crown if permitted. But sin, the old Athaliah, goes forth to the massacre. Murderous temptations are out for the assassination.

When Jehosheba rushes into the nursery of the king and picks up Joash, what shall she do> with him? Shall she take him to some room in the palace? No, for the official desperâ€" adoes will hunt through every nook and corner of that building. Shail she take him to the residence of some wealthy etizen? No; that citizen would not dare to harbor the fugitives. But she has to take him somewhere. She hears the cry of the mob in the streets; she hears the shriek of the dyvin« nobility; so she rushes with Joash unto the room of the temple, into the house of (Go«A, and there she puts him down. She knows that Atâ€" haliah and her wicked assassins will not bother the temple a great deal. They are not apt to go very much to church, and so she sets down Joash in the temple. There he will be hearing the songs of the worshipers year after vear: there he will breathe the odor of the golden censers; in that sacred snot he will tarry, secreted until the gix years have passed and he come to enthronement. Ah, when you pass awayâ€"and it will not be long before you doâ€"when you pass away it will be a gatisfaction to see your children in Christian society. You want to have them sitting at the holy sacramenkts. You want them up and decide whether he likes the place or not; whethér he wants to be king or not. Don‘t disturb his volition." Jehosheba knew right well that unless that day the young king was rescued he would mever be rescued at all. 1 tell you. my friends, the reason we don‘t reclaim our children from worldliness is because we begin too late. Parents wait until their children lie before they teach them the value of truth. They wait until their children swear before they teach them the importance of righteous conversation. They wait unâ€" til their children are wrapt up in this world before they tell them of a better world. Too late with your prayers. Too late with your discipline. Too late with your bemediction. You put all care upon your children between 12 and 18. Why do you not put the chief care between 4 and 97 It is too late to repair a vessel when it has got out of the dry docks. It is too late to save Joash after the executioners have broken in.

The Bible in all its teachings is a very bad book for faise religions. In the thirteen verses of this parable many leading errors «re squarely met and strongly denourniced. 1. There is poor encouragernent for praying . to saints. 2. The parable, certainly, is not favorable to Universalism, even in its modern â€"phase of restorationism to which some leading, soâ€"called orâ€" thodox â€" divines have : such _ dersded lesning. _A great gull was fix. 31 so there could be no passing between Abraham and the rich man. 3. The Sadduccelsm of that day and this TEACHINGS.â€"Men should beware of priding themselves in their riches. God‘s love, or his displeasure, cannot be judged by outward circumstances ; his enemies may "flourish like the green bay tree," while his own peoâ€" ple may, for wise reasons, be "destiâ€" tute, afflicted, tormented." No sitaaâ€" tion in life is so wretched and miserâ€" able as to prevent God from taking up his abode with his people. Death is a messenger of peace to the rightâ€" eous. The pomp of the ungodly rich cannot shied them from the darts of death. s 31. Neither will they be persuadâ€" edâ€"â€"‘The Scriptures contain all that is necessary to lead men to God.

Let them hbear themâ€" "Let them hearken to the warnings and instructions given them in the Scripâ€" tures." 23. And in hellâ€"‘"‘In Hades."â€"R. V. "The Scriptures contain four words that are reiwidered ‘hell in the Auâ€" thorized Version. They are Hades, Sheol, Gehenna and Tartaros. Sheol is a Hebrew word and is equivalent to the Greek word Hades. Gehenna, as used by Christ, designates a State or place of retribution. Tartaros is a dark prison where the fallen angels awalt their doom." 28. Lest they also comeâ€"He shows more interest in them now than he did when he was with them on the earth. 27.

One was a leader in society, very wealthy and highly respected ; the other was a despised and loathsome beggar. But God does not look upon men as we do.

After the war they went on mmoking, and the example of the Crimean heroes made the pip»> and cigar generally indulged in.
