T. RIDDICK. ; Text Psalms 51:12, "Restore un to me the joy of thy salvation." Subject: "The Lost Joy of Salva tion." Every v.erse of the fifty-first Psalin is stained with the tears of a peni tent prodigal, one who had lost the joy of his salvation, and not the sal vation of Itself. The experience of the Psalmist as we have it recorded in this wonderful Psalm is the ex perience of thousands of God's chil dren today in part They have lost the joy of their religion, ; but so many of them are not yet penitent like Da ' vid, and are not calling upon their God for mercy and the restoration oi that which' they have lost, and are HtihanDv and rirofitless without it to the kingdom of their king. No doubt many will read this message who can recall days of gracious experience in the cause of Christ,- but it is npt so today; they have gone far from His "sweet fellowship and service. They are not in love -with the church and the SCunday school as they once were and they are getting very little out of religion. My dear friend, .why has this change come about in your life and your feeling toward the house of the Lord and the service of his vine yard? Is it because you have fallen into some Kin that has put' you out of harmony with your master like Da T'.d? No Christian can enjoy their religion and live in constant fellow ship with known sin. The church member who delights in the things .of the world cannot rejoice in the things of Jesus Christ's saving grace, for we are taught by one of His gt eat apostles to "have no fellowship with ..' the unfruitful works of darkness. Sometime ago I .overheard, a church member in this city using pro- ' fane language while, he was engaged in doing a difficult piece of work, thai was in a useless christian, if a chris tian at all, and he is an unhappy man. The joy is gone. It is possible that le has never experienced the Chans'? of heart, but if he has he will, like Peter and David, come back with a l-.roken heart some day and weep over his sins. No child of God can live lappily in unconfessed sin, for "The austere remembrance 6f that deed "Will hang upon thy spirit like a cloud And tinge its world of happy images with hues of horror." Hut perhaps some one who may chance to read this simple niessaga has lost the joy of their salvation not because of indulgence in any secret or public sin. but because of their indifference to the call of christian duty, and negligence of the christian piaces. Mow 'many are the church nienrt o w ffcFrrhei, wbo. are gion because they are putting very little in it, and are losing what they might have if they were more atten tive to the obligations that the Lord has laid upon them as His children. Many have lost out in the christian race because they have treated witii supreme indifference their church membership, in that they have left it Amusements in one community, while they have Be"a"u" moved to and are living in another. If there is anything that Christians should be careful about it is their church relations. So , many cases have I found who had drifted out sim ply because they wilfully neglected to move their church letter when they left the old home. To me nothing is sadder than to meet a man or woman who has to confess to me that they have lost the joy . of salvation, and has to charge it up to negligence of his duty to the church. There are many today whose -names are on the church roll that are not enjoying re ligion. Reader, if you are a church member .and are not enjoying vour salvation, .why not? Is it because you are cherishing' an unforgiving spirit? If so you wj,U. never be a happy chris tian until you have gone and confess ed and. forgiven. The unhappy chris tian is bound, to be a useless chris tian. The world hasn't time to listen to the church membertalk about re ligion who, is not rejoicing in their own salvation. .V Mothers and fathers who have lost the joy of their salva tion need not woadef at the loss of their own children to the church and the Lord. There is . but one course Open to the backslider, and that is repentance and an open confession to the saWouiy' -"Thy backslidings shall reprove, thee. It is an evil and bit ter thing."' O womau, come baok! O man, come back;, it is a bitter thing. Ask thy God to forgive thee and heal thy backslidings. He It anxious to do so now if you will, like the old Psalmist., come home confessing thy bins. Come back saying. "I will seek that which is lost and will bring again that which was driven away."

'Fresh from long engagements in the large cities, the dramatic spec tacle, "Every woman," with all its vast scenic effects and army of people, jwill be disclosed by Henry W. Savage at the Academy of Music, December 16. Everywhere this great spectacle has been presented it has created a Generations of theatre goers have witnessed no more moving 'panoramic pageant than "Everywo man," conceived as it was by an in spired brain and executed by a master craftsman without regard to monetary outlay. It represents all that is great, all that is lofty, in spectacle, opera and drama. It is really three great productions merged Into one. It has music of a dignified character, music which is light and playful and a dra matic story which is movirig and ab sorbing. Mr. Savage has supplied a splendid cast of characters.
