that once rang with childish

can stand that without Thy
grace to help, without Thy grace
to pmoothe, without Thy grace
to comfort? Oh, you will want
Christ in your first trouble, and
so I beg of you this morning to
take Him as yours,
You say you are strong and
well. So pi. You say that
life is buoyant and beautiful.
So it is to me,. But sickness
will come to you and it will come
to me. We shall be told we
cannot go out, the door will be
closed against the world, there
will he two watches, and some
will order silence bn the stairs,
saying; -“Kush, hush!” and in
Christ, We will want a divine
friend to stand by us, and to say
that all shall be well in tiro future.
But you know very well that if we
:o out of this world, my brother,
without Christ, we take a leap into
the dark.
Well, there are a good many
men iu the house who say: “What
you have declared this morning
is the truth, but I am so far gone
in sin that there is no hope for
me.” Oh, my brothers! There you
make a great mistake. I stand here
this morning to dccl^fb^tiicie s
hope for any maty tfep \vsr,ts to
come t© God.- “Let Che wicked for
sake his way and the unrighteous
man his thoughts, and let him re
turn into the Lord who will have
mercy, and unto onr God, who
will abundantly pardon.” Come
this morning. “O,” ye say, “if you I
know my history you wouhl’t in -1
vite me.” I do not care what your !
history is; conic to God today.’
“Whosoever will.” That word
“who-soever” covers ail cases of
wanderings,, of^niiquity. “ Who
soever will rot frinr come.”
‘But,” says some one in the
house,“I have started in the line
of iniquity, and lam going on;
I will risk the future; I haven’t
much faith in Christhmitv; T am
going to have an easy time in this
world, get all out of it I can, go
into all kinds of sin, taking the
risk for the future.” Oh, will you
not he diverted from that course?
Will not now realize the fact that
you want God? Oh, how much you
need him! It may take a great
struggle to bring' j’ou hack ; but
come hack you may and you will;
this morning some of you will.
May God by His holy spirit movi
upon your heart!
I have sometimes heard people
say it is as easy for them to become
Christians as to turn their hands.
Oh, what a misrepresentation that
is! It takes t^e blood. It is the
mightiest struggle in all the world
when a man, who has been doing
wfong, tries to do right. It is a
mightier struggle than I would ask
any man to go into, unless he lays
held of the strong arm of God,
who will help him, and who will
deliver him.
Some years ago there was an
excursion steamer sorno miles
above Niagara Falls. There were
many on the excursion, many
passengers, and the boat floated
on down towards the rapids; but
the captain expected to return in
time to avoid all danger, and they
were laughing on the deck, when
some one said to the captain : “Are
you not going too far down?” He
Said ; “No; I know what I am
about,” After a while he told the
engincor to turn and go up stream;
but lo! tho captain found they
The permanent location of tlw
Brunswick and Western railroad
shops at Brunswick has been fully
settled upon. Fears havp been
entertained by Brunswickians that
the shops would be taken to Way- ■
cross or some other point on tlio
line of the road. A site for tho
shops has, -however, been secured
in Brunswick'and donatod to tho
road. The offer has been accepted.
The city purchased the property’
for $5,(XX) and has leased it to tho
railroad for 95) years, subject to
the condition that it shall he used

it ceases to be thus used it shall

A single liquor saloon had
long been an evo-sore to tho
quiet loving people of a little
Ohio village. Night after night
they had been aroused from
sleep l)v the neiso of drunken
brawls, which on one occasion
had a fatal ending. At two
o’clock on a recent morning,
while, a savage tight was going
on within, about a hundred men,
women and hoys assembled in
front of the saloon, encircled tho «
shanty with a stout rope, ami
began to drag it with its fright
ened inmates toward the rail-
road, where a freight train wa&
standing, ready to depart. It
was the work of a moment to
fu s ten the structure firmly to
the rear car. and then, just as
the y ain began to move, the
liquor dealer aud his friends...
managed to escape from their*
prison. With lengthening faces
they watched their old place oF
resort as it hounded along the
track and was torn to pieces iu
the grasp of the vanishing
train.
On Tuesdorof last week a man
called at Trak & McDonald’s store,
eight miles from Rioeville, in Lib
