He is calling for every unsaved soul iu the heariug of mv voice. He calls fur thee. I want you, men and women to make room for Uitu in your heart. Mary comes, and says, "Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had nut died." He replies, "I am the Resurrec tion aud the Life." Ih,w that sweet message has come rolling down the ages for nearly 1,90(1 years. "I am the Resurrection aud the Life." May God help you now to be lieve on the Son of Ood. He, said, "Where have you laid him ?" They tell Christ all about his last acts and words, as we do if a Iriend was absent when a loved ooe died. They all go out to the grave, and I get much comfort out of the fact that the Son of God wept over that grave. When I stand by the fide of the grave of some member of my fam ily 1 want tho Christ who can stand by me. I halls the Saviour 1 preach to you to-day. How do I know it?

He called Lazarus by name, and as soon as Lazirus heard the voice of his old Friend, instantly he oame forth. II the Son or Uod can raise the dead, can He not raise every dead soul here ? Let Him speak to you and you will live. The cloud that burst upon that home is going to burst upon your home and mine. Oh, be wise today. Unlock the djor uf your heart and say, thrice wel come, and He will come in and abide with you, Some years ago I heard of a poor mother w ho had an only child who was idiotic, and on the day when he was lour teen years of age a neighbor came in and found the mother weeping in the bitter ness of her soul. She wanted to kno what was the matter. The mother said, For fourteen years I have cared fot thai child; I have given up society and spent my time with him, aud today he does out know me from you. If that child would iccoguizt! mc once, it would pay me for all I have done for bim. How many there are the Son of God has watched over and cared for and blessed, who have never onee recognized llini, never looked up into His face and said, thank you, Lord Jesus Will you do it now, will you ?

Iu the current number of The Nash ville Chiistian Advocate some good ad vice is given on the lines of helping pas tors to carry the burdeus which press upon them. Here is what this paper soys : If you arc a sincere Christian, ymi will wish to do all that you can do toward lightening the heavy loads which yuur paslor bears, aud making bis work a full success. And you can do something. No matter bow bumble or obscure your position is, it yet lies within your power to contribute at least a small measure of assistance, 1. You cao give of your substance to support your pastor, and to aid in carry ing oo the enterprises of tho church. It may be that you canoot give much. In that case much is not required of ypu. tut it is possible that by a little self- denial you can give more than you have thought possible. The matter is one which you should take into serious aud prayerful consideration, with ihe filed purpose to discharge your duty as Gmi gives you to see it. lhero is one thing that you simply cannot afford, aud that is to be a pauper or a "dead beat" iu the church. According as God has pros pered you, it should be your settled policy to show your gratitude by laying a due proportion of your substance oo lib altar. 2. You can be of great assistance by never absenting yourself from the Sun day service and the week night prayer meeting when it is possible fur you to be present. If you bave fallen into the careless habit of going to the house of God only on such occasions as are per fectly convenient, then you need to begin an instant reform. Suppose that everybody else should do the same thing, what would be the result? Rut no oilier person is more under obligation iu ili respccl than you are. What we insw on is that you should remember that ez hortation which bids believers not to forsake the assembling of themselves to gether, as the manner of some is, and that you should make it a mallei, uot of irregular impure. but ol Bzed pi l -i p1'- to heed this ezhiTlalion. 3 You can lalk your paslor up in the commuuitv. Many members uf I lie flock, without iutending il, really help lo talk him down, I'erhaps you have thoughtlessly hem guilty of ibis fault. We do nol meao that you should go into the business uf exaggerating his abilitiis as a preacher or his worth as a man. That would be very improper. Rut we do mean that you should regularly aid sysienoi ii-.illy say all the good things about him that the truth will allow. If he has delects of character or method, there is no good reason why you should help to make them known. The public will find them out soon enough, without any help from you. 5. You can pray for your pastor. The weakest and poorest saint has acciKS to the throne of grace, and may exert by liis intercessions an influence fur good that can scarcely be overestimated. If the man of God only knew that in bis house-to-house work, and iu his pulpit adminis trations he were sustained by the suppli cations of bis people, it would add a hundredfold tn his courage. Have you been neglectful here? We fear that you have. When did you moniion your pastor's name in your secret devotions '.' Your forgetfulness of him has doubtless robbed you yourself of many and great personal blessings. Make the riperi mi ol. Turn ovei a new leaf. IV il at iDCi'i anJ see il li ill will not answer you by putting i fresh joy in your soul. 5. You cao lead an upright and cot iistent lite, avoiding everything that brings reproach upon the oame of Christ or that retards the progress of the gospel, This is a mailer of supreme importance, II your rzample is not what it ought lo be, the fact puts an unspeakable burden upon your pastor's heart. Do the older hao I, if you are m.inuiuing a Cliiisliaa deportment, and walking as bi comes uuKipic ui tii. arutad LorJ, you are making bia work that much lighter, aad giving him an encouragement which is greater than you dream of. As t mailer of course, the highest of all motives for correct conduct is to glorify the Lord Cbri.l, but this motive may include the lower one of which we are now speaking ADVICE. Old Potior "Now, my boy, let me give you a word of advice before yon cut low and hing out your shingle." Young Doctor "I shall be glad lo re ceive it, I assure you." Od DiCtor 'Whenever you are calhd upon to prescribe for a woman make her put out her tongue, so that you may study it thoroughly. This will seldom help you lo determine what her trouble is, but a woman cau't tall while she has her tongue nut. " There ia nothing like an obedient to- d j to reveal Qod's will luaoirow. ' Power la k Sieet THE ACTORS WENT TO CHURCH. AN t'NRXl'ECTED HOLE It V THE QUAR TET AND THE RESI'LT, I'Concerning the power of music," re marked the retired barnstormer who had several home stretch pedestrian records with vuiiuus comic opera companies, "I remember on one occasion to have seen it peculiarly verified. Wo bad some first class I u It ii t in (he company I was with at the time we had ouly been out a month, and the endowment fund wasn't exhaust ed yet and among them was a quartet of male and IVuialu Voices that Couldn't be beat anywhere Wo were billed to appear out! Monday night iu a town of 7, mil) people in Ohio which had a reputation of being the frostiest place ou the road, and the manager put us iu there only be cause tin re wasu't any other place to go wjlhout costing as much in railroad fares as we could lose at a performance. "We got to the town Sunday morning, and it was a long aud tiresome day, and wo were so bored when night came ihat we made up a parly to go to church, just to change our luck. I don't kuow what kind ol a cliuich it was, except that it was a big une aud there was some kind of a meeting on that filled it. We had come early, and we had seats about the middle uf the orchestia chairs. As it happened, our quartet sat together, and they got hymnbooks all right. "Wben the first service of song was offered, our combination was a bit shaky will) stage fright, for they hadn't been to chuicli siuce they had sung iu their home church choirs long ago, but oo the sec ond round they wcro all light, and the hymn was one they were familiar with. Well, they went at it as they ought to, and when the first verse was finished could see there was some sensation among the people Dearest to us and lots of eyes aud ears were turned our way. Our ouartelte was interested by now in their singing, though, and we didn't think about anything else but the word to go on with the second verse, aud when they got it they went at it with all their skill and sweet ui'ss. I!y the time the second verse was fiuished there were not a J. z in voices to bu heard besides their own, and the seusatiou had spread all over the bouse "On the third verse our quartet went iu alone, and I don't think I ever heard s ieh singing as tney put up. It was one of those good, old fashioned hymns that h ive the spirit of truth and glory io them and the music matched the words in way to carry anybody off his feet, and it did it lor that audience or congregation or whatever you call it, for when the last nolo died away the cold chills ran down my back and up my neck, and if some old brother iu the uineo corner had not shouted glory and a dozen mote in other parts of the house followed suit I beli e I would have shouted mysell. "However that might have been, when everybody sat down the gentleman in the pulpit stepped forwaid and thanked our people tor their singing, and said if they would sing a (ew more selections the con gregation would be greatly pleased Of course our quartet wa? pleased, too, and they nut only sang a few more selections, but they received the personal thanks ol everybody after the service was over, and the next nigkt we had an audience that 6 1 led the theater Now, that's what I call real power."
