Oh. tlie love of the father heart, the love of the mother heart! I-ove makes tlnm lojk over our insults und iiigiaiitude, they reineinber them against us no more forever. Hut, ah, we reniein l.er them. Tlicy remain us thorns in afler life pieroing ever deeiwr us the days and yeais go by, causing our heiits lo spill some mops ot nlood every day, every hour, smd Jurketi the pedestal upon which we stand. What is the symbol? We are doing atonement for our harsh ness lo those who have loved us lust on earth, and whom we love best. for we love them though they may sleep betieatli tile sod. Most of Us learn the beart-bieaking lessou too late. Too lute to u'otie while they live. Will it be so with our Heavenly I'll hei? Will we keel) on setting tirsclvcs in oiiposilion lo Hint un til His spirit shall leave tig to our iniitiity, and where He goes we can not come? Will we throw ingrati tude in His loving face, and because lie keeps on protecting und caring for us, do we think it does not hit t Hun.'' Do we think our (rod hits no feelinj;? If tve would reason it out all the capacity we have for love, for sorrow, tor tenderness we get le gitimately from God our Futher. Then, if little slights from our lei low-men hurt us, und you w h" have children, if it would butt voti to have vour child studiously keen out of your company, prefer to heed any body s word but your own, if that won lil hurt you, now mucii more does it hurt our lleavenlv Father lien we do nut want linn with us und make every possible excuse for not reading His word. W hy iloes It hurt him more: Because we only have u small portion ot His attri butes, uud if we love und sorrow a little, He lores ud soriows much, bow much we ure not able to uuder- faud. But, is it necessury that I write thus to people of today? Do we have to tench people at this lute hour w hut sort of a God we have? Is it possible ut this advanced period, when men's consciences have reach ed the highest plane of enlighten ment thut the world busjever known, that we have to be continually dinn ing into people's ears the character istics of our God und King? Hasn't He done enough for tbo children of men, hasn't He proven what He is yel? Is it possible that any should fall short of tbe knowledge of the sort of God with whom they have to deal? For every peison must deal with Him, whether it is the inten tion or not. If he, refuse to deal with God he must necessarily refute to breathe. Is it possible that there are any such, who take in from six teen to twenty breaths a minute aud know nothing of the dealer at whose hands they receive them? es, it is possible. I believe it would take some of us millenniums of time to !tro about God. By this do not mean that '.here are those who do not know there li t God. People have long sine given tip debating sncn a question, it Deionirs to i.ie dai k age Perhaps some one would ; hks to say, -My dear madam you are mistaken there ate .individuals living who believe there no God. And perhaps yon could give me names of such indmdua Is. But, 1 say, no .ucu persons live, oome may say they believe theie . is no God, but back of many ,U9D state- ments tbereis loveof notoriety, and " biic'i declarations is wilful ignorance of tin' ginsscst kind. No mutter how well educated the man may he, or how strong his character may otherwise seem, if he exhibit such unbelief there's 8 weak snot some- vheie. Hiing any tmeh persons to lexlreiiiities. lay them upon their lust lied and see where their triumph will he. I lielieve there is i.ot a man living that lias not deep down in his inner consciousness the belief in u supreme God, however well guarded and smothu'ed into silence ii. nutr be. Under weight of some of the sins of mi ll I confess that no womh-r some perhaps would stille their be lief in it jealous und just liod. It might seem exceedingly convenient to believe there wus no divine jus tice to contend with. To be sure, I am not ignorant of the tad that there are those who challenge the titith of the liihle ne strong argument of the critics was that there was no Biich man us jSnrgoii, king of Assyiiu, whiuli the liihle plainly tells us uhout. I hey could not, tniil his men I ion in Ins lory and disputed his having existed, thereby endeavoring to weaken the liibb'. But, the sr. iiml to this is that the nrcliirtilngistH have dieted down through the luvers of earth that have tilled in since the reign of ,s, ,, I1IU. f(M,ni ul)1 ,I0W hold on exhibition, tables of stone bearing ii'i-'cliptintis I lie plum and iinmis tukiible ev iih iiiv nf the reign of Sar gou king of .v..-avi iu.

I might show them Imw utterly wioiig they are, how deluded, uud w but il false conception they have of their own lives in, tl their own interests. Aim, the uio-i weak-minded of Judith's kings, was, 1 think I can safely Mty, the meanest, iiml most degraded of Judith's kings. So bad was he that he is made u ga.iug stock to all who study Judith's history. Ignorance and slolhftiliicss ure the doors bv which wickedness enters i lie soul ul niun uud pollutes the temple of the bodv. Xo one wants to tv culled ignorant and ln.v, aud still, many display these characteristics by set- tl g themselves in opposition to the iiilltiences of Christianity uud its gliiue Look, the Bible. 1 urn not like the man who boast. thut he has read no other book but the liihle. I believe in leading other books, yes, but I also believe if we uiiilei'slitiid tbe Kible lust we ire enabled to tinderstuiid and ap preciate other books with u more fu'-ieuching insight tbuu we could otherwise do. All the other books are only chips off the big central diamond, the liible. borne leligiotts teacher hus titul thut in these days we need not read tbe liible to come in contact with liible truths, thut couseiiiieiitlv, if one does not cure lo lend the liible. let him" read the heller class of novels, for they ure full of liible teachings, uud a peison need not feel thut lie is fulliug short .if his duty. I'ui't, of this is trie und part of it is misleading. The fact thut the literature of today is full of liible teachings is a twofold reason why one should get in touch with the source of all this literature. Il makes it all the more urgent thut we read the liible, drink f r ourselves ut the fountain insteud of lounging in the fields of indifference while others convey the draught to our lips in nil manner of vessels, much impaired in flavor, deprived of its bubble and sparkle and coolness bv the uiitiltediiess of the vessels uud the distance it hus to be conveyed through the heat of the world's controversy, lint, it is always the (wlicy of some to tuke things second baud. They uluiost live second hand. They would not do a thing they hud not seen their neighbor do, and it goes without saying that they think second hand, if indeed they think at all. Go to the fountain and drink for yourself. Don't lie too lazy to get the best. lie who geU a good thing must work for it. This thought is strongly brought out iu Governor Ay cock's address in the last issue of the Courier. I wish the great truth net forth in thut address might be burned into the life of every man with convictions in the fair south land today. What a noble uddrest! What a noble in in hack of il, w ho has travelled every Mich of the road he so aptly descnlies, else how could he give bis words the living, burning Are that tbey have, yes, he paints it with his blood, he has travehd the upward load, he knows whereof he p peaks. There is a popular belief iu almost all communities that man cannot be true minister of the gospel nn less he be. uneducated. lie must lie alone inspired by God for his work, and must not be 'spoiled," so to speak, with an eltieat'on.

And so, the niun who is inspired has no riuht lo take the talent, which his Lord has given liiiti and hide il in a napkin for fear he might sun or lose it.

Well, I upprcciule your conclusion to this mutter when' I relied, for what is more nauseating thun u ,r.v. of this kind? Jiut, my dear render, let me say l Imt the niun who is u success in the' ministry, if he be lin ed iicuted, is u success in spite of his illiteracy, "ot because of it His gil t is so great I hat it shines through the rough i . u i aide.

I'mli r th- title "The Strength of Uur Fathers," Dr John (' Kilgo, president of Trinity College, presents in the current number of the boulh Atlantic Quarterly a remarkably ilioiiglitf til discussion of un iuteiest- ni" problem.

With rare grace of pre.Miioii Dr Kilg says: "All this means that, the stulwait nibiis of iinttii'o, und th- serious ad uoiiiii'iiis of nature, niv being lost u the character of men.
