Everything toly, hnt misfortune came, the first blow brought him fo the dust and he never had the cour age to rise. 0, how important is the manner in which we re- .ccjve the first sorrow! " Perhaps the first trouble is bereavement. I suppose you know—I suppose you have rec ognized the fact, that so often the first horn is taken. I have seVen brothers and sisters. Each one lost the firstborn, and I suppose that in hundreds of eases in this house, it was the first born that was taken. Some people give what is to me a very absurd reason for that. They say it is because the child is loved too much. I do not think that is possible. I do not be- lie\e any father or mother loved a child too much. You cannot love your child too much.

Ob, to put away garments that never te worn again, to gather up from the flowr the toys that never again Will strew the carpet and to go with a sense of suffocation through the desolated household that once rang with childish merriment, Oh, rny God! who 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 by the road for shops, round house, yards, etc., and in theovont it ceases to be thus used it shall revert to the citv. 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 erty co«ntv, and on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, during the cold weather, he camped in the woods and was found and taken to Rieeville Friday. He was taken in and cared for by the citi zens there. He said! he was from Ohio, and a member of the Meth odist Church. He appeared to bo 30 or 35 years old, was rather- stoutly built, was about five feet six to ten inches tall, dark hair, a heavy beard, which was a little' reddish, and said his name was Edwin Hogan. On his persor* was found a letter, 25 cents in money, two shirt studs, plated, and a pearl collar button. He was shabbily dressed, and had been sick some days. Dr. Henry, of Hinesvile, Ga., in passing, called, but only said lie thought him a very sick man with a very severe. cold. I incloso a letter found in the stranger’s pockctbook He died on Monday, Novomber30. He was well cared for and buried decently by the citizens.
