His subject was "Salutation from the Chariot," ami his text II Kings X, 11: "Is thine heart right?" With mettled hors"3 at full speed, fT lie wan celebrated for fast driving, Jehu, i I f v.'nrrwir mid liiiio Vftnniu from 1,:il- t!c J tut seeing Jehonadab, an acquaint ance, by the waj'side, he shouts, "Whoa! . vlx.i!" to the lathered staii. Then, leaning over to Jehonadab, Jehu salutes liim in tho words of the text words not more appropriate for that hour and that llace than for this hour and place. I thine heart right? I should like to hear of your physical health. Well my self, I like to have everylxxly else well; 'andsousk: Is your eyesight right, your bearing right, your nerves right, your hin-js right, your entire ldy right? I?ut I m. i busy totlay taking diagnosis of tho more iuiortant spiritual conditions. I should like to hear of your financial v"elfare. I want everyliody to liave I'U-iny of money, ample apparel, largo Morehouse and comfortablo residence. And I might ask: Is your business right, your income right, jour worldly sur roundings light? But what are these financial questions compared with tho inquiry :is to whether you have leeh able to pay your debts to (tod; as to whether 3011 are insured for eternity; as to whether you are ruining yourself by the long credit system of the soul? I have known men to have no more than one loaf of bread at a time, and yet to own a government lnd of heaven, worth more than the whole material universe. Tbo question I ask you today is not in regard to your habits. I make no inquiry aliout your integrity, or your chastity, or j our sobriety. I do not mean to Eland 011 the outside of the gate and ring the Ix'j; bf.t coming up the steps I open tho door and come to the private apartment oC the :'.;ul; and with the earnestness of i in. 1:1 that must give an account for this d iys work, I cry out, O man, O worn r.i immortal: Is thine heart right? I will not insuit you by an argument Jo prove that we are by nature all wrong. If tht re lo a factory explosion, and the tho smokestack lie upset, and the wheels bo broken in two, and the engine uii jointed, and the jxinderous bars be twisted, and a man should lxk in and pay that nothing was tho matter, you woul 1 pronounce him a fool. Well, it Xieeds 110 acumen to discover that our nature is all at wist and askew and un jointed. The thing doesn't work light. The biggest trouble we have in tho world is with our souls. Jleii sometimes sav that though their lives may not be just rigbt. their heart is all right. Impossible! A farmer never puts the poorest apples on top of his bar rel; nor does tho in reliant place the meanest goods in Jus show window. The best part of us isour outward Jife. J do not stop to discuss whether we all fell in Adam, for we have been our own Adam, and have all eaten of the forbidden fruit, and have lieen turned out of )ie paradjsa of holiness and jeaee; and though the ilaming sword that 6tood at the gate to keep us out has changed position and conies behind to drive us in, we will not go. The Bible account of us is not exagger ated when it says that we are ixxr aiid . wretched, and miserable and blind, and naked. Por: tha wretch that stands shivering on our doorstep on a cold day is not sq much in heed of bread as we are pf ' spiritual help. Blind: why, the man whoso eyes jierished in the powder blast, and who for these ten years has gono feeling his way from street to street, iot in : cl litter darkness as we. Najted: Why, there is not one rag of holiness left to hido tho shame of our sin; Sick: why, tho leprosy has eaten into the head, And the heart," and the hands, and the feet; and the marasmus of an everlasting wast ing away has already seized on someot us. But the meanest thing for a man to do is to discourse about an evil without pointing a way to liave it remedied. I s'H?ak of tho thirst of your hot tongue only that T may show you the living stream that "drops crystalline and spark ling fim the Rock of Aces, and 'pouri'a river cf jiladness at your feet. If I show yon the rents in your coat, it is only ber fiausc the door of God's wardrobe now j swings open, and here is. a roue, wiute with tho fleece of the lamb" of GikI, and pf a cut and make that an angel woulif pot be ashamed ro wear. If I snatch from you tho black, moldy bread that you aifl munching, it is only to give you the bread made out of the finest wheat that grows on the celestial hills, and baked in the fires cf the cro.ss, and one crumb cf which would I k3 enough to make all heaven a banqu-t. Hear it, one and all, and tell it to vour friends when you .0 home, that the Lord Jesus Christ can niaka tho heart rigid. ' First, we' need a repenting heart. If for the last ten, twenty or forty years of jife we have been going on in the wrong way, ii is timo that we turned around and st.a ted in the opixwite direction. If we of.Viul our friends we are glad to apologia. God is our best friend, ,yu yet bow many of us have never apolo gized for the wrongs we have done him! There is nothing that we so much need to get rid of as sin. It is a horrible black monster. It polluted Eden. It killed Christ. It lias blasted the world. Jle keep clogs in kennels, and rabbits in a warren, and cattle in a pen. What a man that would be who would shut them np in bis parlor. But this fcul dog of tin, 'and these herds of transgression, wp have es.tertaried for many a long year in pai he -Jit, wldoh 6hbull bj the cleanest it brightest room in nil our nature. Out with the vile herd! Begone, ye befoul -vi'H of an immortal nature! Turn out tlio beasts, and let Christ come in! A heathen came to an early Christian who 1 1:0 1 the reputation of curing diseases. lhe Christian said, "You must have ut your idols destroyed." The heathen gave to lhe Christian the key to his house, that he might go in and destroy tho idols, lb; faltered to pieces all be saw, but still the man did not get well. The Christian s.iid to him, " There must 1 some idol in our h'tiso not yet destroyed." The ii:!tl.eii conb-s-ei that there was one iUi.I t.i l,cat-n gold that he could not bear t. give up. After a while, when that v. i!s dct roved, in answer to the prayer of the Christian the sick man got well. r.i.'.ny a man has awakened in his dying h nir to litid his sins all alxnA him. They cl.iiiilxnci upon the right side of tho , bed, and on tho left side, and over the ! h -ad hoard, and ovi r the footboard, and 1 : 1 1 . . .1 1 1 1 1 j 1011 1' i ue 01 11 ii 1 1 no son 1.

A ; noil many 'ars a.";o a weary one went up one of the hills of Asia Minor, and 'villi two logs 011 hi back cried out to all 1! world, i.-fFering to carry their sins and fo.-ruws. They pursued him. They il.'pped him in tiie face. They mocked him. When he groaned they groaned. They shook their lists at him. They epit ,011 him. They hounded him as though he were a wild least. His healing of the :i'-k, his . ight giving to the blind, bis M'Tcy to the outcast silenced not tho re vc.'ige of the world. His prayers and I i-acihetioiis were lost in that whirlwind ! C. cralion. Away with him! Away with him! Ah! it was not merely tho two pieces of wood that be carried: it was the transgressions of the race, the anguish of tiie ages, the wrath of God, the sorrows i l.i ll, the stupendous interests of an '.ending eternity. No wonder his back hi 'tu. No wonder the blood started from every jiore. No wonder that he crouched uinler a torture that made the sun faint, and the everlasting hills tremble, anil the lead rush tip in their winding sheets as he cried, "If It lie ossible, let this cup pass from me." But the cup did not pass. None to comfort. There he hangs! What baa that iand done that it should Ins thus crushed in tho palm? ' It has lieen healing the lame 1 nd wiping away tears. What has that foot ljeen doing that it should lie so lacer ated? It has been going alxmt doing ',iod. Of what has tho victim been LMiily? Guilty of saving a world. Tell iee, ye bea vens and earth, was there ever siieh another criminal? Was there ever .'ir-h a crime? On that hill of carnage, that simLtsS day, aiaid those howling rioieis, may not your .' ins and mine have risheil? I believe it. . Hi. the ransom has been paid. Those arms of Jesus were stretched out so wide that when he brought them together : ..-in they might embrace the wprld. Oil that 1 nii.;h(, out of the blossoms of t he spring, or the ilaming foliage of the autumn, make one wreath for my Xxrd! Oil that nil tho triumphal arches pf the vor!d couidlie swung in one gateway, where the King of Glory might come in! Oil lh: t ah the harps and trumpets and organs of earthly inu.-io might, in one r.i.ihcm. snak his prai-e! l!:l v. liai were earthly flowers to him who walketh amid the snow of the white lilies of heaven! What were arches of 1 : ihly masonry t him who hath about 1 1 i throne u rainbow spun out of. ever- -ting sunshine! Wiiat were all music t-. him when tiie hundred and forty and it 1 1 r thousand on one i-ide, andthecheru-1-hn. and seraphim, a;id archangels sfand : the otlu-r side, and all the space "be tween is lilled with the doxologies of 'ternal jubilee! the hosarma of a re c. eiv.. d earth, the halielujah of unfallen. : ls, Long after s'.ig rising aoou the t ! : : ! ;e of Go;l and of t he Lamb, Jn that :ire, high j 'lace, let him hear us. Stop! harps of heaven, that our poor cry may le heard. Oil. my TiOrd Jesus! it will not hurt thee f; .rone hour to step out from the sM;.i:;g throng. They will make it all .i:; win n thou goest back again. Come latin r. O bl-ssod one. that we jnay kiss th .-. i'.-it. Our hearts, too long 'withheld,' V snov surrender into thy keepingj "Win n ihou goest back tell it to all the jiumorials that the lost are found, and let thy Father's bouse ring whli thp m and the dance. They have some old wine in heaven, r.ed except in rare festivities, In t! li world, tliose who are accustonieq' t u wine on great occ::: ions bring out the beverage and say, "This wine is thirty years old." or "forty years old." But the wine of heaven is more than eighteen c "?:tiu'ies old. It was prepared at the thiiO -when Christ trod tli3 wine press ah i .e. When such grievous sinners as w.' come lick, methinks the chamberlain of heaven cries out to the servants, i'Tliisi is unusual joy! Bring up from the' vaults of heaven that old wine. Fill alt the towards. Let all the white robed guests drink to the immortal health of those new bom sous and daughters of the. r Almighty." There is joy in heaven ai 'ong the angels of God over one sinner th 't repeuteth; and God grant that that one may be you! Again, jn prder to Jiaye a right heart it mo; t le a forgiving heart. An old writer says, "To render good for evil is God like; gc od for good is man like; evil for good devil like." Which of these natures have we? Christ will have nothing to do with us as long as we keep anv old grudge. We have all been cheated and lied aht',ij. There are peoplti who dhliko us so wueli ( bai ;f we should come down to poverty an ! (iii-ace, tl-.oy would Fay, "Good for i lu:;i! Didn't I toil you so?" They never ! have understoixl us, and never will. They ; do r. t under.-tand us. UnsanctiiicU hu:::an nature says, "W ait till you get ii gee 1 crack at him. and when at last you rind him in a light place, givo it to him. Flay him alive. No quarter. Leave not a rag of reputation. Jump on liim wi ll lioih feet. Pay him in his own coin sarcasm for sarcasm, scorn for f coin, abuse for abuse. But, vny friends that is not the right kind bf heart. No man ever did so mean a thing toward us cs we have don 2 toward God. And if we cari.ot forgive Others, how can we expect God 10 forgiv Uf? 'ibousapds of men r.w. o ixcn tcpt out or neaven py an un- forgiving heart. Here is s?aie one who says: "I will 4 forgive that man the wrong he did mo aliout that house and lot; I will forgive that man who overreached mu in a lar- gain; I w ill forgive that man who bold mo a fchoddy overcoat; I forgive them all but one. That man I cannot forgive. The villain I can hardly keep my hands off of him. If my going to heaven de jiends 011 my forgiving him, then I will May out." Wrong feeling! If a man lie to mu once lam not called to trust him again. If a man betray mo once I am not called to put confidence in him again. But I would have no rest if I could net oHer a fcincero prayer for the temporal and everlasting welfare of all men, whatever mealiness and outrage they have inflicted ujon me. If you want to get your heart right strike a match and burn up all your old grudges, and blow the ashes away. "If you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses. " An old Christian black woman was going along tho streets of New York with a basket of apples that she liad for sale, A rough sailor ran against her and upset the basket, and stood back exiiecling to hear her scold frightfully; but she stooped down and picked up the apples, and said: "God forgive you, my son, as I do." The sail or saw the meanness of what he had done and felt in his pocket for his money, and insisted that she should take it all. Though she was bluck, he called her mother, and said: "Forgive me, mother; I will never do anything so mean again." Ah! there is a power in a forgiving spirit to overcome all hardness. There is no way of conquering men like that of be stowing upon them your pardon.whether they will accept it or not. Again, a right heart is an expectant heart. It is a poor business to be build ing castles in tiie air. Enjoy what you have now. Don't spoil your comfort in the small house because you expect a larger one. Don't fret about your in come when it is $3 or $4 per day, because you expect to have after a while $10 per day; or 10,000, because you expect it to lie $20,000 a year. But about heavenly things, the more we think the better. Those castles are not in the air, but on the hills, and we have a deed of them in our jiossession. I like to see a man all full of heaven. He talks heaven. He sings heaven. He prays heaven. Ho dreams heaven. Some of us iu our sleep have had the good place open to us. We saw the pinnacles in the sky. Wp heard the click of the hoofs of tho white horses on which victors rode, and the clapping of the cymbals of eternal triumph. And while in our sleep we were glad that all our sorrows were over, and burdens done with, the throne -of God grew whiter, whiter and whiter, till wo opened oui eyes and saw that it was only the sun of the earthly morning shining on our pillow. To have a right heart you need to be filled with this expectancy. It would make your privations and annoy ances more bearable. In tho midst of the city of Paris, stands, or did stand, a statue pf the good, but broken hearted Josephine. I never imag ined that marble could be smitten into such tenderness. It seems not lifeless. If the spirit of Josephine be disentalier nacled, the soul of the empress has taken possession of this figure. I am not yet satisfied that it is stone. The puff of the dress on the arm seems to peed but the pressure of the finger to indent it. The figure at the bottom of the robe, the ruf fle at the neck, the fur lining on th dress, the embroidery of the satin, the cluster of lily and leaf and rose in her hand, the poise of her body as 6he seems to come sailing out of the sky, her face calm. humble, beautiful, but yet sad attest. the genius of tho sculptor and the beauty of the heroine be celebrates. Looking up through the rifts of the coronet that en circles her broiv, i could seethe 6ky be yond, the great heavens where all wo man's wrongs sliall be righted, and the story of endurance and resignation shall be tpld to all the ages. The rose and the lily in tho hand of Josephine will never drop their petals. Tho children of God, whether they suffer on earth, in palaces, or in hovels, shall come to that glorious rest, oh heaven, sweet heaven! at thy gate we set down all our burdens and griefs. The place will be full. Here thei'e are vacant chairs at the hearth, and nt the table, but there are no 'vacant chairs. in heaven." The crowns all worn; lhe thrones air mounted. Some talk of heaven as though it were a very handsome churcl, where a few favored spirits, would come in and sit down on 'finely cushioned seats all by themselves, and sing psalms to all eternity. No. no. 1 saw a "great multitude that no man pould number, standing before the ihrone, Ue that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and it was 12,000 furlongs" that is, 1,500 miles in circumference. Ah! heaven is not a little colony, at one corner of God's dominion, where a man's entrance de pends upon what kind of clothes he has on his back, and how ruueb. money he has in his purse; but a vast" empire.' God grant that the light of that blessed world niay shine upon us in our last moment. r The roughest time wo had in crossing the ocean was at the mouth of Liverpool harbor. We arrived at niglitfall, ' and were obliged to lie there till the morning, waiting for the rise of. the tide, before we could go up to. the city. How he vessel pitched and wrjthed, n the water! So sometimes, (he Jast illness of the Christian is a struggle. He is almost through the voyage. The waves of temptation toss his soul, but ho waits for the morning. At last the light dawns, and the tides of joy rise in his soul, and he sails up and casts anchor within the veil. Is thy heart right? What question can compare with this in imibrtance? It is a business question. Do you, not realize that y ou will soon have toi go. out of that store, that you will soon have to resign that partnership, that coon among all the millions of dollars worth pf goods that are sold in New York you will not have tho handling of a yard of cloth, or a pound of sugar, or a pennyworth of anything; that soon, if a conflagration should start at Central park and swcfi everything to the Battery, it woukl polfc disturb you; that soon, every 'cashier should abscond and'evcry insurance com pany should fail, it would not affect you! 1 the grave compared with the questions ! that reach beyond it?
