With such tenderness and rusticity of Il
lustration does Christ represent tho soul's
Solng oil and the soul's comitiK back, when
e says, "Likewise there la Joy In heaven
among the angels of Hod over one sinner
that repenteth, more than over ninety and
nine Just persons that need no repentance,"
To repent is to feel that you are bud, and
to bo sorry uhout It, and to turn over a
new leaf, and to pray for forgiveness and
help. Just as soon as a man does that,
they hear right away of it In heaven.
There arc no gossips in glory going
around to chatter and laugh when a man
falls, but there are many souls in glory
who are glad to run about and tell It when
a mnn is saved, The news goes very
quick from gate to gate, and from north
wall to south wall, and from east wall to
west wall, and In three minutes every clti
len of heaven has heard of it, for "there is
Joy In heaven among the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth."
1 can very easily understand how there
should be Joy In heaven over a Pentecost !
with three thousand souls saved In one '
day no mystery about that; I can under
stand how there should be Joy in heaven
over tho Parish of Sehotts, when four hun
dred souls were saved under one sermon of
Mr. Livingston: I can understand how
there should be Joy in heaven over the
great awakening in the time of llarland
Page, when iu one your four hundred and
seventy-three thousand souls were brought
to God in the United Status; I can under
stand very easily how there should bo joy
In heaven over live hundred thousand souls
converted in 18.17, In' this country; but
mark you, my text announces there is Joy
in heaven among the angels of God over
one, Just one, sinner that repenteth.
Some cathedrals havo one tower; some
cathedrals have two, three, four towers.
Did you ever hear them all ring at once?
I am told that the bell in the cathedral of
St, Paul ilngH only on rare occasions, for
Instance, at the death or the birth of a
king. Have you seen a cathedral with
four towers, and have you heard them all
strike into one great chime of gladness?
Hero is a man who is moral. Ho Is an ex
ample to a gr at many professors of reli
gion in some things; he never did a mean
thing In his lift'," ho pays all his debts, and
U a good cltl.en and a good neighlior, but
ho says ho Is not a Christian.
Some day thu Holy Spirit comes Into lib
heart nud he sous that he cannot depend
upon his morality for salvation. Ho says:
"O lml God, I have been depending upou
my good works; 1 find I am a sinner, and I
want thy salvation. Iord, for Jesus' sake,
have mercy on met" And God pardons
blm, ami Immediately onu of the towers of
heaven strikes a silvery chime, for there
an four towers to the heavenly temple.
Here U a man who is Iwd; he knows he is
bad, and everybody elsu knows ho is bad, but
he i not an outcast far from being an out
cast. Ho moves Iu respectable circles. But
out day, by the power of the Holy Ghost,
he rouses up to sec his sinfulness and he
ays: "O Lord, have mercyl I am a wau
derer, aud without thee I perish, Have
mercyl" God hears him, aud Immediately
'two of the tower nf heaven strike a silvery
chime.
But here is an outcast. He was picked
up last night out of the gutter and carried
to the police station. He has been In the
peaiteutlary three times. He is covered
aad soaked with loathsomeness and abom
ination. Arousing from bis debauch, he
cries out: "O God, have mercy ou me.
Thou who didst pardon the penitent thief,
hear hm ery for mercy." And the lord

My subject Impresses you, I think, with
the thought that It Is possible for us to
augment the happiness of heaven. Peo
ple think that souls before thu throne ate
as happy as tlry can bu, I deny It. Ltsik
at that mother before thu throne of God
When ahu died she left her sou In thin
world a vagabond. That sou repented ot
his Iniquities mid ciuiu to God, Thu re
port of that salvation has reached heaven.
l)o you lull me that mother beforu tho
throne of Gisl has not her Joy richly uug
mentedf There Is many a man In this
house today who could go out with a torch
and kludlu a now houllru of victory ou tin.
hills of heaven. If you would this day re
pent and comu to Uod, thu news of your
salvation would reach heaven, aud then,
harkl lo thu shout of thu ransomed. Votu
little child went away from you Into the
good laud. While she was here you
brought her all kinds of beautiful proa
cuts.
Sometimes you came home at nightfall
with your pockets full of gifts for her, and
no sooner did you put your night key Into
the latch than she began at you, saying,
"Father, what have you brought me?"
She Is now before tho throtiu of God. Can
you bring her a gift today? You may.
Coming to Christ and repenting of sin, thu
tidings will go up to throtiu of God and
your child will hear of It. Oh, what a gift
for her aoul t (slay I Shu will aklp with uuw
gladness on the ovcrlaatlug hilts when alio
hears of It.
I was at Sharpsburg during thu war, aud
one day I saw a sergeant dash oast ou a
lathered horse, thu blood dripping from
thu spurs. 1 said, "That sergeant must bu
going on a very important message, la
must be carrying a very Important dis
patch, or he wouldn't ride like that."
Here arotwonugelsof God Hitting through
thu house, Hitting toward the throne ou
quick dispatch. What Is thu news? Carry
ing up thu story of souls repentant and for
given, carrying the news to tho throne of
God, carrying the news to your kindred
who are foruvor saved. Oh, "there Is joy
In heaven among the angels of God over
one sinner that repenteth." And suppose
this whole audience should turn to the
1ird? Heaven would Imi filled with dox
ologles, O heaven, bent with all thy
hammers that the rock may break. O
heaven, strike with all thy gleaming
swords that our souls may be free.
"I was reading of a king who, after gain
ing a great victory, said to his army, "No,
no shouting; let everything be in quiet; no
shouting." Hut If this hour your soul
should come to God, nothing could stop
the shouting of tho armies of God lefore
the throne, for "theru Is Joy In heaven
among the angels of God over one slnuoi
that repenteth."
In some families they keep a vacant
chair aud a vacant plate for tho departed,
but If In some of your households you kept
a vacant chair aud a vacant platu for those
who have gone away from you Into thu
nuxt world, the vacant chairs and thu va
cant plates would outnumber those which
are occupied. I once said to you there are
no vacant chairs In heaven, but I recall
,that. Hlght liesldeyuur loved one iu that
good laud theru Is a vacant chair, not made
vacant by death, for death never enters
then', It is a vacant chair for you. Will you
take It ?
SYMPATHY IN IIKAVKN roll KAUTII.
My subject also ImnruHseH mo with thu
idea that heaven and earth are in close
sympathy. People talk of heaven as
though It were a great way off. They say
it Is hundreds of thousands of mile before
sou reach tho Hrst star, and then you go
hundreds of thousands of miles beforu you
get to the second star, aud then It la mil
lions of miles before you reach heaveu.
They say heaven is the center of the uni
verse and wo are ou the rim of the universe.
That Is not the Idea of my tv.t. I think
the heart of heaven beats very clijse to our
world, We measure distances by thu time
taken to traverse those distances.
It usts I to bu a longdistance to San Fran
cisco. Many weeks aud mouths were
passed before you could reach that city.
Now It Is six or seveu days. It used to be
six weeks liefore you could voyage from
here to Llverxol, Now you can go that
distance In six or seven days. And so I
measure the dUtance la-twcen earth and
heaveu, aud I Hnd It is only a Hash, It
Is one Instant here and another Instant
there. It is very near today. Do you not
feel tho breath of heaven on your face?
Christ says In onu place it is not twenty
four hours' distance, when ho says to the
penitent thief, "This day, this day, shah
thou bo with iiiu In paradise." It is not a
day, it is not an hour, it is not a minute. It
is not a hecoud.
Oh, how near heaven Is to earth. Hy
Oceania cable you tcnd a message. As it is
expensUu to send a message, you compress
a great deal of meaning in a fuw words.
Sometimes In two wonls you can put vast
meaning. Aud it seems to me that the
angels of God who carry uuws from earth
to heaven need to taku up this hour in re
gard to your soul, only two wonls in order
to kindle with gladness all tho redeemed
beforu the throne, only two words, "Father
saved," "mother saved," "son saved,"
"daughter saved." Aud "there is joy In
heaven among the unguis of God over one
siuiier that repeututh."
SALVATION UK THE SOUL,
My subject also impresses mo with tut
fact that the salvation of the soul Is of
vast importance. If you should make
00,000 this year, do you suppose that news
would bo carried to heaven? It would not
bo of enough Importance or signlllcanco to
be carried heavenward. If at the nuxt
auadreuiilal election you are made prusl
cut of tho United States, do you suppose
that news would be carried to heaven?
Do you suppose that the news of a revolu
tion In Franco or Spain would be carried to
heaven? These thing are not of enough
importance, but there Is one Item that is
sure to be carried. It Is the salvation of
your soul. It is your repentance before
God.
The flying hoofs of God's couriers clash
through tho gates aud the news goes from
gate to mansion, and from mansion to tern
pie, aud from temple to throne, aud "there
Is joy iu heaveu" among tho augels of God
ovor one sluuur loighcu. It must lw ol
vast Importance to be of any moment In
heaven, ) our salvation, In that laud where
gladnesses uru thu ovor) day occurrence, in
that laud wheru thu common atones of the

yet thu news of your salvation makes Joy

to adjourn all oilier festivities to celebrate
this onu tilumph.
Do you wonder that so many of those
Christian eoplo have tolled night aud day
In this work of aoul saving, if It is of such
vast luiH)rtaucu? Do you wonder that
Ncttleton and Fiuley mid HUhop Asbttry
and John Wesley and Goorgu Whltelleld
and Paul aud angels and Christ and God
stripped -themselves for thu work? Around
that one soul click tho mist, thu Hru. the I
darknes, thu Joy, thu anthem, thu walling '
thu hallelujah and the woe of God's uul
verse. If the soul Is saved, then lip comis
to trumpet mid lingers to harp and ham
mer to bell aud "theru is Joy among thu
angels of God ovor that onu soul forgiven,''
For such a soul I plead.
COMMKNIIINO IIIXUIION.
Having found In uiyowuuxperleiicu that
this religion Is a comfort aud a Joy, I stand
here to commend it to joii. Iu thu days of
my infancy I was carried by Christina par
ents to the house of God, and consecrated
In baptism to the Father, aud thu Son, and
the Holy Ghost; but that did not save me.
Iu after time I was taught to kneel at the
Christian family altar with father mid
mother nud brothers and sisters, thu most
of them now In glory: but that did not save
mu.
In after lime I rend Doddridge's "Itlse
and Progress" and Haxter's "Call to the ,
Unconverted," and all thu religious books J
around my father's household, but that i
did not Havu me. Hut onu day thu voice of
Christ camu into my heart saying, "He
pent, repent; believe, belluve," and I ac
cepted the offer of mercy, aud though uo
doubt there was more Joy In heaon over
the conversion of other souls because of
their farreaching lullucncu, I verily bullcve
when I gave my heart to uod there.

"No," you say, "I can't say that," feTheii
can j'ou not look to the thronu of mercy?
"No," j'ou say, "I can't look up." Can you
not thou give some signal liku that which
was given by the lad In tho hospital? He
was sick and sulferlng and dying, and
wanted speedily to go away from all suffer

So it was none, format nignt.icsus wont

passing through the wards of the hospital
saw a dead hand lifted braced ou one side
against the pillow, and the left hand hold

seen the signal and answered It. Oh, sick

not give some signal? Wilt thou not lift

Take a full breath jnd talk very slow

increases thu trouble In order, then,
to get over thu consonants form them
first. For example, taku tho word blan
ket, which to a stammeier is a verbal
pitfall. Begin by making the sound of
"bl," then pause. Make it again and
follow it with tho rest of tho word,
"bl anket." You will bo surprised to
find how easy it is. Read aloud to your
self, stopping to take bieath the moment
you begin to stammer, aud working out
all words over which you huvo any dim

How to Make a llarrel Trap.
This is the simplest and most ingenious
trap mado, aud is particularly available
for the catching of skunks. Put a stone
on the ground and lay a barrel across it
so that the open end will just overbal
ance the other end and therefore rest
upon the ground. Put a piece of meat
in the high end. The skunk walks up
to it, his weight tips thu barrel down
aud ho Is captured. Tho only objection to
this trap is that it It interfered with by
heavy winds.

No one could ask for a richer store than theso works of Thackeray, from which to
draw for literary recreation during tho evenings of the winter or the days of tho summer
outing.
Thackeray was the king of satirists. His brilliant wit scintillates like the gleams of
light from tho facets of the diamond. His shafts pierce like the point of a rapier.
The foibles and fashions, the fads and follies of the upper crust aro held up to
scathing ridicule, while the habits and habitations of the masses are laid bare for instruc
tion, amusemints and general edification. No man or woman should be without
Thackeray's Works.
No household has the right to withhold Tbacke.ay from Its youths and maidens.
Everyone should avail themselves of the following
