The cas ual, the accidental, that which merely happened so, are .parts of a great plan, and the rope that lets the fugitive apostle from the Damascus wall is the cable ;that holds to its mooring the shipof-the chUrch in the;northeast storm of tlie-eepturiis.

The father swung the heavy cradle through the wheat, the sweat roiling from his chin bedewing every step of the way, and then sitting down under the cherry tree at noon thinking to himself: “I am fearfully tired, but it will pay if I can once see that boy throqgh coUege, and if I can iOno'w that he will be preaching the Gospel.after I am dead." j The younger tildren want to know why they can’t have this and .that as others do, and the mother says; “Be patient, my children, until your brother graduates, and then you shall have more luxuries; hut we must see that boy through.” The years go by, and the son has been Ordained and is preaching the j, glorious Gospel, and a great revival comes, and souls by scores and hundreds accept the Gospel from the lips of that young preacher, and father and mother, quite old now, are visiting the Son at the vil lage parsonage, and at the close pf a Sab bath of mighty blessing father and mother retire to their room, the son lighting the way and asking them if he can do any thing to make them more comfortable, saying if they want anything in the night just to knock on the wall.

One of the four brothers, after preaching the gospel for about fifty years, entered upon his'heave.nly rest. Another of the four is on the other side of the earth, a mission ary ofNthb cross. Two of ns are in this land in tin* holy ministry, and I think all of tis [are'willing to acktiowlekge our . ob ligation to the old folks at home. About twenty-one years ago the one, and about twenty-three years ago the othe:-, put down the burdens of this life, bn t they still hold the ropib O, men and women here assembled, you brag sometimes Low you have fought your.way in the world, blit I think there have been helpful influence's that you have ncyeri fully! [ acknowledged.' Has there not been sorno influence in* your early or present home that the world cannot see? • Does there riot reach to you from among the New England hills, or from western prairie, or from southern plantation, or from English :or Scottish or 1 Irish, home a cord Of influence that has kept you right when you would have gone astray, and which, after you had made a crooked track, recalled you? The rope may be as long as thirty years, or five hundred miles long, or three thousand miles long, but hands that went out of mortal sight long Rgo still hold the rope. You want a very pwift horse, and yOu need"to rowel him with sharpest spurs, and to let the reins lie IpqSe upon the rieck, and to give a shout to the racer, if ton are - going to ride out of reach of youp mother’s pray ers. : Why, h ship crossing, the Atlantic in six days ejan’t sail away from that. A sailor finds _ them on the lookout as lie cakes his place, and finds them on. the mast; as he climbs the ratlines to .disen tangle a rope in the tempest,' and finds them swinging on the hammock when lie turns in. Why not be! frank and ac knowledge it—the most cf us would long aeo have br-m dashed to pieces had not gracious-aihfl loving lianas steadily, io.V ingly and mightily held the rope. imt there must ccrnl a time when we shall! find oiit who these Damascenes were who lowered Paul in the basket, and greet them and all those who have rendered to Goer and the world unrecognized and’ un recorded services. That is going to be one of the; glad excitements of heaven. the hunting up and picking out pf those wh.<|i did great good on earth and got no credit for it. Here the i church has heen going oir for nineteen centuries, and yet the world has not recognized the services of the people in that Damascus balcony. Charles G. Finney said to a dying Chris tian: ‘-Give ray love tp St. Paul when you meet him,” When you- and I meet him, as we will, I shall ask him to intro duce me to those people jwho got him out of the Damascene peril. j vv e go into long sermons to prove mat we will be able to recjognize people in heaven, when there is cine reason we fail to present, and that is better than all Gocl will introduce us. i We shall have them all pointed out. You would not be the gutltiy of the impoliteness of having friends in your parlor not introduced, und celestial 'politeness with demand that we be made acquainted with all the heavenly household. What rehearsal of old times aDd recital*. of stirring reminiscences! If others fail to give introduction, God will take ns through, and ! before our. first twenty-four hours in heaven—if it were calculated by earthly (timepieces—have passed, we shall meet and talk with more heavenly celebrities than in our entire mortal state we met with earthly celebri ties. Many who made great noise of use fulness wiljl sit on the last seat by the front door of the heavejnly temple, while right up within arm’s reach of the heav enly throne will be many who, though they could not preach |themselves or do great exploits for God, nevertheless held the rope. 1 k ' /' Come, let us go righjt up and accost those on this circle, of heavenly thrones. Surely they must have killed in battle a million men. Surely jthey must have been buried with all the cathedrals sound ing a dirge and all the towers of all the cities toiling the national grief. Who art thou, mighty one of heaven? “1 lived hv choice the unmarried daughter in an hum ble home that I might take care of my parents in their old age, and I endured ■without complaint all their querulousnqss and administered to all their wants for twenty yeur«.” 1 pass on round the circle of Who art tboju, mighty one of 1‘I was for thirty years a1 Chris tian invalid, and suffered all the while, occasionally writing a note of sympathy for those worse off than i I, and was gen eral confident of all those who had trou Let us 1 iiror.es. heaven? hie, and once in the Sabbath in a while 1 was strong enough to make a garment for that poor family in the,back lank” Pass on to another throne. Who art thou, mighty one of heaven? “I was the mother who raised a whole family of children for God, and they lire out in the world Christian merchants, Christian- mechanics, Chris tian wives, and I have had full reward of all my toil.” Let us pass on circle I of thrones. “f school [class, and they we -e always on my heart, and they all entered the kingdom of God, and I am waiting for their arrival.” But [who art thou, the mighty one of heaven on this other throne? “In time of bitter persecution I owned a house in Da mascus, a house on the wall. A man who preached Christ was hounded frbm street to street and I hid him from the assassins, and when I found them breaking in my house and I Could no longer keep him safely, I advised him to flee for his life, and a bas ket was let down over the wall with the maltreated man in it and I was one who helped hold the rope.” And J said: “Is that all. all?’ And And he answered: “That is while I was lost in amaze ment I heard a strong voice that sounded as though it might once have been hoarse from many exposures and triumphant as though it might have belonged to one of the martyrs, and it said: “Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which art despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to naught th|ngs. which are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.1’ And I looked tjo see from whence the voice come, aud io! .it, vyas the very one who had said,: ‘ Through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall. ” Henceforth think of nothing hs insignif icant.
