The prodigal, wishing to suppose a man of five or ten or twenty years of illdoing resolves to do right. Why, all the forces of darkness are allied against him. He gets down on his knees at midnight and cries, "God help me!" He bites his lip. He grinds his teoth. He clinches his fist in a determination to keep to his purâ€" pose. He darse not look at the bottles in the window of a wine store. It is one long, bitter, exhaustive, hand to hand fight with inflamed. tantalising merciless habit. When he thinks he is entirely free the old inclination pounces upon him like a pack of hounds, all their muzzles tearing away at the flanks of one poor reindeer. In your boyhood you had good asâ€" sociates and bad associates. Which most impressed you? During the last few years you have heard pure anecâ€" dotes and impure anecdotes. Which the easiest etuck to your memory? You have had good habits and bad habits. To which did your soul more easily yield? But that moral gravitaâ€" tion may be resisted. Just as you may pick up anything from the earth and hold it in your hand toward heaven, Just so, by the power of God‘s grace, a fallen soul may be lifted toward peace, toward pardon, toward salvation. The force of moral gravitation is in every one of us, but also power in God‘s grace to overcome that force. ‘ So far as (God may help me I proâ€" pose to show what are the obstacles to your return and then how you are to surmount these obstacles. The first difficulty in the way of your return is the force of moral gravitation. Just as there is a natural law which brings down to earth anything you throw into the air, so there is a corresponding moral gravitation. I never shall forget a prayer I heard a young man make in the Young Men‘s Christian associaâ€" tion of New York. With trembling voice and streaming eyes he said: "O God, thou knowest how easy it is for me to do wrong and how hard it is for me to do right! God help me!" That man knows not his own heart who has never felt the power of moral gravitaâ€" tion.

To that class of persons I this day address myself. * You compare what what you were three About a mile from Princeton, N.J., there is a skating pond. One winter day, when the ice was very thin, a farmer living near by warned the young men of the danger of skating at that time. They all took the warning except one young man. He, in the spirit of bravado, said, "Boys, one round more." He struck out on his skates, the ice broke, and his lifeless body was brought up. And in all matâ€" ters of temptation and allurement it is not a prolongation that is proposed; but only just one more indulgence; just one more sin. Then comes the fatality. Alas for the one round more! "I will seek it yet again,." Our libraries are adorned with eleâ€" gant literature addressed to young men, pointing out to them all the dangers &nd perils of life, Complete maps of the voyage of lifeâ€"the shoals, thg rocks, the quicksands.

But I am now going to tell you how Hannibal may scale the Alps and how the shackles may be unriveted and how the paths of virtue forsaken may be regained. First of all, throw yourâ€" self on God. Go to him frankly an* earnestly and tell him these habits you have and ask Him if there is any help in all the resources of omnipotent love to give it to you. Do not go on with a long rigmarole, which some peoâ€" ple call prayer, made up of ohs and ahs and forever and forever amens. Go to God and cry for help. Dhen, also, I counsel you, if you want to get back, quit all your bad associ-‘ ates. One unholy intimacy will fill your soul with moral distemper. In all ‘ the ages of the church there has not' tbeen an instance where a man kept one | evil associate and was reformedâ€"| 1s going to be baptised, whether by sprinkling or immersion, and what kind of a church he is going to join. It is a poor time to talk about Presbyterian catechism and Episcopal liturgies and Methodist love feasts and Baptist imâ€" mersions when a man is about to come out of the darkness of sin into the glorious light of the gospel. membership, too anxious about their denominations, and they rush out when they see a man about to give up sin and return to God and ask him how he ouniry I think #»lso that men are often hindered from returning by the fact that churches are anxious about their The prodigal, wishing to get into good society, enters a prayer meeting. Some good man without much sense greets him by saying: "Why are you here? You are about the last person I exâ€" pected to see in a prayer meeting. Well, the dying thief was saved, and there is hope for you." You do not know anyâ€" thing about this, unless that you have ilearned that when a man tries to reâ€" turn from evil courses of conduct he runs against repulsions innumerable. How thes: dainty, fastidious Chrisâ€" tians in all our churches are going to get into heaven I do not know unless they have an especial train of cars cushioned and upholstered, each one a car to himeelf. They cannot go with the great herd of publicans and sinâ€" . ners. O ye who curl your lip of scorn on the fallen, I tell you plainly that if you had ‘been surrounded by the same influences instead of sitting toâ€"day amid the cultured and refined and the Christian you might have been a crouching wreich in stable or ditch covered with filth and abomination! It is not because we are naturally any better, but because the mercy of (iod has protected us.

The professor of religion looks at him, looks at the fadea aApparel, and the marks of dissipation, and instead of giving him a firm grip of the hand offers him the tip end of the longer fingers of the left hand, which is equal to striking a man in the face. Oh, how few Christian people understand how much gospel there is in a good, honest handshaking! Someâ€" times when you have felt the need of encouragement and some Christian man has taken you heartily by the hand have you not felt thrilling through every fiber of your body, mind | and soul an encouragement that wu‘ Just what you needed? | _ "For example, we have observed durâ€" |ing a career of about 137 years ,’th.-lt when a couple are married in ‘a private house, it is almost invariaâ€" | bly conceded to be a pleasant home | wedding. Now, what‘s the use of these words? Would anybody on such an | occasion, write of an unpleasant wedâ€" ding, or of an unpleasant â€" homeâ€"â€" whichever the adjective may be taken to refer to ? It is an old rule of corâ€" rect writing to go through the arâ€" ticle after it is drafted and eliminate every adjective not needed to tell the story. Applying that trsatment to pleasant home weddings, they would appear simply as weddings. The rest goes without saying. ‘ "Similarly the frequent explanation that a wedding occurred at high noon seems to be about one word too long. Is there any other than one kind of noon? When does low noon come in, if 12 o‘clock is high ? "We have observed, too, that when people ‘are married they are vyery apt to receive wedding gifts. What else would the gifts be at the time?

Their wings are interâ€" locked this moment above you, conâ€" tending for your soul, as above the Apâ€" ennines eagle and condor fight midsky. This hour decides eternal destinies. And then the man said to the bad angel: ‘"What does all this mean? I trusted in what you said at the street corner; I trusted 1t all. Why have you thus deceived me?" Then the last deâ€" ception fell off the charmer, and he said: "I was sent from the pit to deâ€" stroy your soul. I watched my chance for many a long year. When you hesi< tated that night at the street corner, ? gained my triumph. Now you are here. road there was a serpent, and the man said to the bad angel, "What is that serpent?" And the answer was, ‘"That is the eerpent of stinging remorse." On the left side of the road there was a i. u1, and the man asked the bad angel," ‘"What is that lion?"* The anâ€" swer was, "That is the lion of all deâ€" vouring despair." A vulture flew through the sky and the man asked the bad angel, "What is that vulture?" The answer was, "That is the vulture waiting for the carcases of the slain." The young man hesitated at a time when hesitation was ruin, and the bad angel smote the good angel until it deâ€" parted, spreading wings through the l starlight, upward and away until a door swung open in the sky, and forâ€" ever the wings vanished. That was the turning point in the young man‘s hisâ€" tory, for, the good angel flown, he hesi.â€" tated no longer, but started on a pathâ€" way which is beau‘tiful at the opening, but blasted at the last. The bad angel led the way through gate after gate, and at each gate the road became rougher and the sky more lurid, and, what was peculiar, as the gate slamâ€" med shut it came to with a jar that inâ€" dicated it would never open. Past each portal there was a grinding of locks . and a shoving of bolts, and the scenery . on each side of the road changed from gardens to deserts, and the June air be. came a cutting December blast, and the bright wings of the bad angel turn. ed to sackceloth, and the fountains that at theâ€"start had tossed with wine pourâ€" ed forth bubbling tears of foaming blood.* And on the right side of the "Oh, no," said the bad angel; "come with me. I have something better to offer. The wines I pour are from chalâ€" ices of bewitching carousal. The dance I lead is over floors teesellated with unrestrained indulgence. There is no God to frown on the temples of sin where I worship. The skies are Italâ€" ian. The paths I tread are through meadows daisied and primrosed. Come with me." I will spread my wings over your pilâ€" low. I will lovingly escort you all through life under supernatural proâ€" tection. I will bless every cup you drink out of, every couch you rest on, every doorwa you enter.

Come with me," said the good angel in a voice of unearthly symphony. It was music like that which drops from a lute of heaven when a seraph breathes on it. This hour the door of mercy swings wide open. Hesitate not a moment. In many a heeitation is the loss of all. At the corner of & street I caw a tragedy. A young man evidently doubted as to which direction‘ he had better take. His hat was lifted high enough so you could see he had an intelligont foreâ€" head. He had a stout chest and a robuet development. Splendid young man! Cultured young man! Why did he stop there while so many were going up and down? The fact is that every young man has a good angel and a bad angel contending for the mastery of his spirit, and there was a good angel and a ba‘d« angel etruggling with that young man‘s soul at the corner of the‘ street. ‘"Come along with me," said the good angel. "I will take you home. I brought diegrace on his father‘e name! God pity the young man who has broken his mother‘s heart! Betâ€" ter that he had never been born. Better if in the first hour of his life, instead of being laid against the warm bosom of maternal tenderness, he had been coffined and sepulchered. There is no balm powerful enough to heal the heart of one who has brought parents to a eorrowful grave and who wanders about through the dismal cemetery, rending the air and wringing the hands and crying, ‘"Mother! ‘Mother!"

The clasg of men God usually calls are of this disposition. The sel"â€"assertive and sel‘â€"agssured do not often, if ever, appear on God‘s honor role. God proâ€" vided a proper and competent asâ€" sistant for Moses nnd assured him of divine help. God deals the same with those He ralls toâ€"day. Moses was not predestined to his work beyond his power to resist. Had he been, this remarkable call would have been a mockery. He was marâ€" vellously cared for by a divine proâ€" vidence from his birth, and his perâ€" ronal acquiescence in the call is clear, in his "choosing to suffer afâ€" flksltlon" and in his answoering the call. This tail was cloar andt definite. God‘s calls are all of this character. Moses had Intimations of God‘s will concerning him long before this. +I think he had before ho "came to years," and "re‘used to be called the son of Pharaoh‘s daughter," but when he spoke to the Israelites that quarreled we know he had heard the call, and that he suppoged they would know something of it alzo. / pi ons it Di t oA ies nc in Tssc t tss hsa t & 34 11A a pamillel in the annals of human history.
