' c" -V Subject: "The Excited GorefriV - - 't' TexT : "Felix tremble 1 and answered. 0 thy way for this timft. vv When I hare a eon Tenient Reason I ttifl call for thee.' Acts A city of marble was Caesarea wharves Cf marble, houses of marhlf temple St mar ble. This beins the ef.liriary architecture of the place, you rftay ima.Tin something of the splendor Of Governor Felix's resi lence. Iq & roonn of that palace, floor tessellated, win dows curtained, eeillnar frtte.l. the whole wenet nffla -nt with Tyrian purple and stat us nnd pictnr8 and carvings, sat a very dark eomplexioned man oi the name of Fe lix, ami fpside him a wo-nan of exlraordi nary beauty, ff'iom he hai stolea by break in? up nno'hef donritstie ciril She wai only etarhteen years of asre. ft princess by birth, And unwittingly waiting for hr doom that of bpinc: buried alive in the ashes and scor're of Mount Vesuvius, which in sudden eruption ono day put an end to her abomi nation". W ll, one arternoon Drusilla, seated in the palace, we iry with the ma?nin5ent stupidi ties of the rVae says lo Felix: "You have a very distinUishei prisoner, I believe, of the narae of Paul. Do you know he is one of my countryman? I should very much like to see him, and I should very much like to hear him speak, for I have heard so much about his eloquence. Besides that the Other day, whon he was beini; tried in another room of this palace and the windows were open, I hrrvrd the npplattse that greeted the speech of L-iwyer Tertttllu3 as ho denounced Paul. Now, I Very milch wish I could hear Panl speak. Won't j-ou let me hear him speak?4, "lVs," said Felix, "I will. I will Order him up now from the guardroom." Clank, clank, comes a chain up the mafblO stairway, and thre is a shuffle at the door, and in comes Paul, a little old man, prema turely old through exposure, only sixty years oT rjj, but looking as though he were eighty. He bows very courteously before the gover nor and the beautiful woman by his side. They say : "Paul, wo have hoard a great de il about your speaking. Give us now a speci mpn of your eloquence." Ob, if thafo ever was a chanoo for a man to show off, Paul had a chance there! He mlht have har angued them a'lttlt Grecian art. about the wonder Ul waterworks he had seen at Corinth, about tho Acropolis by moonlight, about prison life in Philippl, about "what I saw in Thessalonica,"' about tho old mythologies, but "No !" Paul said to himself, "I am now on the way to martyrdom, and this man and woman will soon be dend, and this is my only opportunity to talk to them about tho things of eternity." And just thero and then there broke in vpon the scene a peal of thunder. It was the voice of a judgment day speaking through the words of the decrepit apostle. As that grand old missionary proceeded with his re marks the stoop begins to go out of his shoulders, an I ho rises up, .and his counte nance is illumined with the glories of a future lift, ami; his shackles rattle and grind as he lifts his fettered arm and with it hurls upon his abashed auditors tho bolts of God's in dignation. Felix grew very white about the lips. His heart beat unevenly. He put his hand to his brow as though to stop the quickness and violence of his thoughts. He drew his ro'e tighter about him, as under a sudden chill. His eyes glare, and his knees shake, and as ho clutches the 3ide of his chair in a very paroxysm of terror he orders the sheriiT to take Paul back to the guard room. '"Felix trembled an 1 said : Go thy way for this lime. When I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." A young man came one night to our ser vices, with pencil in hand, to caricature the whole scnne anil make mirth of those who should express any anxiety about their souls, but I met him at the door, his face very white, tears running down his cheek, as he said, "Do you think there is any chance for me?" Felix trembled, and so may God grant it may be so with others. I propose to give you two or three reasons why I think Felix sent Paul back to tho guardroom and adjourned the whole subject of religion. The first re3ou was, he did not want to give up his sins. Ho looked arouud. There was Drusilla. He knwthat when ho became a Christian he must send her back to Azzius, her lawful husband, and ho said to himself, "I will risk the destruction of my immortal soul soouer than I will do that.' How many thero are now who cannot get to bo Christians because they will not abandon their sins! Iu vain all their pr lyers an 1 all their churchgoing. You cannot keep theso darling sms an 1 win heaven, and now some of you will have to decide between the wine cup aud unlaw ul amusements an 1 lascivi ous grati Heat ions on the one hand and eter nal salvation on the other. Delilah sheared the loess of Samson: Sa lome danced HeroJ into the pit;Drusilla blocked up the way to heaven lor Felix. Yet when I present th sutijet now I lear that some ot you tmllsay: "Not quite yet. Don't be so precipitate in your demands. 1 liavea few tiekets yet that I have to ui". I have a few en -casements that I must keep. I want to stay a little longer in the wniri of con viviality a lew more gutTiWd of unclean laughter, a few more steps oa the roa l to death, nnl then, sir, I will listen to wnal you say. 4(Jothyway lor this tun". Wiicii 1 have a convenient season, 1 will call lor thejP.' " Another reason why Felix snt Paul to tho guar, roon and a ijourue I tuis subject was he was so Ter uVy lu oiainary times ua round tho affairs of state absorbing. but those were extraordinary times. The whole land was ripe for insurrection. The Sicaril, a band of assassins, were already prowling around the palace, and I suppose he tnougnt. "I can't attend to religion while I am so pressed by aff nrs of stat." It was business among other things that ruined his soul, and I suppose there are thousands of peoplo who are not children of God because they have so much tusines". It is business in the store losses, gains, unfaithful employes. It is business in your law office sub poenas, writs you have to write out, papers 5ou have to file, arguments you have to make. It is your medical profession, w'.th its broken nights and the exhausted anxie ties of liTe hanging uoon your treatment. It is your real estate ofliee, your business with landlords and tenants and the failure of men to meet their obligations with you. Aye, with some of those who are here it is the an noyance of the kitchen, andthe sitting room, and the parlor the wearing economy o'try ing to met large expenses with a small in come. Ten thousand voics of "business, business, business" drown the voice of the eternal Spirit, silencing the voice of the al vancing judgment day, overcoming the voieo of eternity, and they cannot hear ; they can not listen. They say. "Go thy way for this time." Some of you look upon jour goo is, look upon j-our profession, you look upon your memorandum books, ani you see the demands that are ma le this very week upon your time an t your patience an I your money, and while I am entreating you about your soul an 1 t,he danger ot procrastinat'ou you s iy : "Go thy way lor this time. When I hav a convenient season, I will call for thee." Ob, Felix, why be tothere 1 about the a' fairs of this world so much more than aoat tho afJurs of eternity? Dj j-u not know thnt when death comes you will have to stop business, though it be in the most exacting period of it between the payment of th money and the taking of the receipt? Th moment ho comes you will have to go. De ith waits for no man, however high, however low. Will you pat your ofne, will you put your shop in comparison with the affairs of an eternal world, affiiM that involve t'orones, palaces, dominions eternal? Will you put 203 ncres of ground against im mensity? Will you put forty or fi t v ye-irs of j-oiir life against millions of ag? O'j, Felix, you might better postpone everytuin els , for do you not know that the upholstering l Tyrlan purple in your palace will fad", an 1 thrs marble b!o;ks of Cie area wit' crumble, and the breikwater at ttn beach, made of great blocks of sloa- sixty fee, loi, mur givj wiy Jefor3 the pr petul wash or the -n, but the redemption that raol offers you will be forever? And yet an 1 yet and yet you wave him back to the guirJrooov, saying. "Go thy way for this time-. When 1 hate a convenient season, I will call for ther. Again, Felix adjourned this subject of re ligion and put oJ Paul's argument because he eould not give up the honors of the world. He was afraid somehow he would be com promised btrriselt in this matter. Remarks he male afterward showed him to be in tensely ambitious. Oh, how he hugged the favor of men! I nsver saw the honors of this world In their hol!ownss and hypocrisy so muih. as In the life and death of that wonderful man, Charles Sumner. As he went toward tbe place of burial, evon Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, asked that his remains stop theru on their ay td Boston. The iau'S were at half mast-, add the minute guns on Bjstsn Common throbbed after his heart had ceased to beat. Was it always so? While he live I how censured of legislative resolutions , how caricatured of the pictorials t. how charged with every motite mean and ridiculous; how nil the urns Of edora arid hat red an 1 btllings-rato emptied upon his head; how, when struck down in Senate chamber, there were hundreds of thousands of people w-io said,' "Good for him ; serves him right ;" how he had to put the ocean between him and his maligners that he might have a lit tle peace, mil how, when he went off sick, they said he was broken hearted bec:iU3-3 he could not get to be President or Secretary of State O, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, who is that mail that sleep iti your public ball covered With garlan Is an I wrapped in the stars an I stripes? Is that the man who, only a few months heiore, you denounced as the foe of republican and democratic institu tions? Is that the same matt? Ye American people, ya could not by one week of funeral eulogium and newspaper leaders, waicn the dead senator eould neither read nor hear, atone for twenty-ilve years of maltreatment an I caricature. When I see a m.n like that, pursued by all the hounds of the political kettuel sO long r.s ho lives and then buried under a great pile of garlands and amid the lamentations of a whole nation, I say to myself What an unutterably hypocritical thing is all human applause and all human favor! Jfou took twenty-five years In tryin? to pull down his fame and then take twent y-five years in try ing to build his monument. My friends, was there ever a better commentary on thehol lowness or nil earthly favor? If there "are young men who read this who are postpon ing religion in order that they may have the favors of this world, let me persuade them of their complete folly. If 3-011 are looking forward to gubernatorial, senatorial Or pres idential chair, let me show you your great mistake. Can it bo that there is now any young man saying: "Let me have political office, let me have some of the high positions of trust and power, nn I then I will attend to religion, but not now. ' Go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient season, I will call for thee !' " An I now my subject takes a deeper tone, and it shows what a dangerous thing is thi3 deferring of religion. When Paul's chain rattled down the marble stairs of Felix, that was Felix's last chance for heaven. Judging from his character alterward, he was re probate and abardoned. And so was Dru iilla. One day in the southern Italy there was a trembling of the earth, and the air got black with smoke intershot with liquid rocks, and Vesuvius rained upon Drusilla and upon her on a horrible tempest of ashes and flr Thev did not reject religion. They only pu it off. They did not understand that thai day, that that hour when Paul stood before them, was the pivotal hour upon which every thing was poised, and that it tipped the wrong way. Their convenient season came when Paul and his guardsman entered the palace. It went away when Paul and his guardsman left. Have you never seen men waiting for a convenient season? There is such a great fascination about it that, though you may have great respect to the truth of Christ, yet somehow there is in your soul the thought : "Not ouite yet. It is not time for me to become a Christian." I say to a hoy, "Seek Christ." He says, "o. Wait until I get to be a young man." I say to the young man, "Seek Christ." He says, "Wait until I come to midlife." I, meet the same person in midlife, and I say, "Seek Christ." He says, "Wait until I get old." I meet the same person in old aga and say to him. "Seek Christ." He says, "Wait until I am on my dying bed." I am called to his dying couch. His last moments have come. 1 bend over the couch and listen for his last words. I have partially to guess what they are by the motion of his lips, he is so feeble, hut rallying himself he whispers until I can hs&r him say, "I am waiting for a more convenient season," and he is gone! I can tell you when your convenient season Will come. I can tell you the year. It will le 1891. I can tell you what kind of a day it wll he. It will bo the Sabbath day. lean tell you what hour it will be. It will be between 8 and 10 o'clock. In other words, it is now. Do you ask mo howl know this is your convenient season? I know it be cause you are here, and because tho elect sons and daughters of God are praying for your redemption. Ah, I know it is your convenient season because some of you, like Felix, tremble as all your past life, comes uponyou with its sin, an i all thefuture life comes upon you with its terror. This night air is aglare with torches to show you up or to show you down. It is rustling with wings to lift you into light or smite you into de spair, and there is a rushing to and fro, and a beating against the door of your souls with a great thunder of emphasis, telling you, "Now, now is the best time, as it may be the only time." May God Almighty forbid that any of you, my brethren or sisters, act the part of Felix and Drusilla and put aw iy this great sub ject. If you are going to be saved ever, why not begin to-night? Throw down your sins and take the Lord's pardon. Christ has been tramping after you many a day. An Indian and a white man became Christians. The Indian, almost as soon as he heard the gospel, believed and was saved, but tho white man struggled on in darkness for a long white before he found light. After their peace in Christ the white man said to the Indian, "Why was it that I was kept so long in the darkness and you immediately found peace?" The Indian re plied: "I will tell you. A prince comes along, and ho offers you a coat. "You look at your coat, and you say, My coat is good enough, and you refuse his offer, but the prince comes along, and he offers me the coat, and 1 look at my old blanket, and I throw that away and take his offer. You, sir," contin ued the Indian, "are clinging to your own righteousness; you think you aro good enough, and you keep your own righteous ness ; but I have nothing, nothing, and so when Jesus offers me pardon and peace I simply take it. My reader, why not now throw away the wornout blanket of your sin and take the robe of a Saviour s righteousness a robe so white, so fair. 60 lustrous, that no fuller on earth can whiten it? O Shepherd, to-night bring home the lost sheep ! O Father, to night give a welcoming kiss to the wan prodigal ! O Iriend of Lazarus, to-night Lreak down the door ot the sepuicher and say to all these dead souls as by irresistible flat : "Live I Live 1" Trouble in Morocco. A dispatch received at London from Tangier says there has been much tur bulence among the Kybeles since they received the news of the saltan's death. Murder and plunder have been com mon. The mountaineers have driven back a company of troops sent to in vestigate the murders. RELIGIOUS READING. "STBAIOHT AS THE CHOW FLIES." Tears and years ago,aa a student preaching In a small village, I had made at the close of my sermon something likatt wnest appeal. I suppose, to the Small cdrrJpatiy present; Say ing: "My friends come to Jesus; I would lhat you would come to Jesus J' and after ward, as I stood out there In the" - littld country road, a lad camfe Up td me, and ha sai : "If you please, sir, will you tell me what it is to come to JeusV" And though a preacher, the words a little astonished me, and I scarcely knew how to put the Gospel in a sentence to the lad ; and as I stood there there was upon the pathway before us on the road a sparrow hopping from point to point, from road to hedge, and from hedg? to road, and the thought came to rae to eav : 'My young friend, Jesus is nearer to you than I am he knows more about you than I do. I wish you would go to him straight just straight. He can hear e6rything you say, knows everything ydu are doing now. I do hot wan cd to gti like that sparrow : I want you td 0 to Jesus as straight as the crow flies." How little did I think that I should ever hear the words again ! Some few years passed, and I was in my iirst pastorate, and late one evening my servant came to me and said : "If you pie iso. sir. thero are two foreign ers, I think they are Frenchmen, who want to speak to you." And going out, by means of my poor knowl edge of F ench and their poor knowledge of English the following story came out i They had been lying seriously ill, appar ently unto death, in a yellow fever ward In the West Indies, And there in the next bed to one of them lay a young soldier ; and this joung fellow, Undingthat they were coming back to their own land, through England, a-iked that they should find me out, if possi ble, with this simple message: "Tell him that I have learned to go to Jesus as straight as the crow flies." My friend Jes :s knows all about you. He is only waiting for you to surrender. Will you not come to him go to him straight go to him straight as the crow flies? Come to Jesus, my friend, come to Jesus ! Princi pal Cave TRUE POSSESSIONS. Earthly possessions are not sure. If they consist of monf y, oft it takes wings and flies away. Fire consumes, moth and rust cor rupt, thieves break through and steal, and we find the wealth of this world perisheth. Bat if we are rich toward God, we have that which will stand, though floods come, and winds blow, and tempests gather, though the banks of the earth all fail, yet the bank of Faith, whose banker is the Lord God of Isreal. has always the dividends ready for all, who in the name of his Son Jesus Christ shall present their checks to Him. Yea, the child of God has a "goodly heritage." "Al 1 things are yours." Heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ. A mansion awaiting us; promised by Him, who loved us. and who gave Himself for us. The land of Promise awaiting us, and we in vited to go up and possess the land. Victory is sure, if we have Christ as our leader. "Ask, and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." "Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long" Then how foolish to labor and be too anx ious for the meat which perisheth. But rather "covet the best gifts." "Seek first the king dom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will ie added unto you." To some God has given earthly possessions, but how few comparatively, realize fully the great re sponsibility ' thereby resting upon them. Every gift is given by God, to be used for Him. Our pounds arc to gain pounds for him. Our talents are to be added to, for use for His service, and not to be "hid in a nap kin." The poorest person on earth is rich, if he is a child of God ; for "his Father is rich, in houses and lands, Ho holds the wealth 01 the world in his hands. Then let us take no anxious thought for the morrow but rather give the most earn est heed, to make our calling and election sure, for if we do these things, we shall never fail, for so an entrance shall be ministered "unto us, abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I can't abide to hear people go talkin' brave and cheerful about everything in the world except religion; that's always doleful an' dismal an' wisbt. They can put a bit o' cheerfulness into their work, an' 6tick to that. But begin with religion, they'll groan directlv. The man can do his ten hours an' more than that to a pinch ; an' the woman can manage the washm', and look after the baoy an' cook the dinner, too, and don't think that 'tis anything very dreadful. But when 'tis in the Lord's service, listen to 'em then. They are such poor, weak creatures ; an' they have got so many trouble, an' so many temptations; an' they are so full of doubts an' their fears; and the devil he is so busv. That's it ; that's it. Smart enough, an' strong enough, an' clever enough for everything else in lhe world, except the one thing that they were made for' servin' the Lord ! I can't abide it Selected. THE DOOM OF OCtt WOULD. What thi3 change is to be. we do not even conjecture ; but we see in the heavens them selves some traces of destructive elements, and some indications of their power. The fragments of broken planets, the descent of meteoric stones upon the globe, the wheel ins comets welding their loose materials at the solar surface, the volcanic eruptions on our own sattellita, the appearance of new stars, and the disappearance of others, are ail foreshadows of that impending convulsion to which the system of the world is doomed. Thus placed on a planet which is to be burnt up, and under heavens which are to pass away ;thus treading, as it were, on the ceme teries, and dwelling on the mausoleums of former worlds, let us learn the lesson of hu manity and wisdom, If we have not already been taught it in the school of revelation' SCorth British Review- Saltan of Morrocco Dead.
