There la nothing more beautiful than thin mel lowing of old ago toward childhood. Grandmother take out her pocket handkerchief unil wipe her apcutacles snd puts them on, and look down Into the face of the mttchlnvous and rebel ioua descendant, and May: "I don't think he meant to do It; let him off this time; I'll he reMponllile for his lie havlor In the future." My inothor, with the second "generation around her a boisterous erewsald one day: "1 sup poiui they oiijfht to Im dlwlpllned, but I can't do It. Grandmothers are not fit to bring up children." Hut here, in my text, wo have a grandmother of a d lifer ent liuo. I have within a few days been in Je rusalem, whero the occurrence of the text took place, and the wholo sceno came vividly before me while I waa go ing over the alto of the ancient temple and climbing tho towers of the King's palace. Here la the text It Is old Attia llsh, tho queenly murderess. Hhe ought to have been honorable. Her father was a King. And ynt we rind her plotting for tho extermination of tho entire royal family, Including her own grandchil dren. The executioners' knives aro sharjiened. The puisne Is red with blood of Princes and Prlnoestes. On all sides are shrieks, and hands thrown up, and struggle, and death groan. No mercy! Kill! Kill! Ilitt while the Ivory floors of the pelaco run with carnage, and tho wholo land Ih under tho shadow of a great horror, a fleet-footed woman, a clergyman's wife, Jehoaheba by name, stealthily approaches tho Imperial nursery, seises up the grandchild that hod somohow as yet escaped maasscre, wrapped it up tenderly but In haute, snuggles it against her, files down tho palace stairs, her heart in her throat lest she bo discovered in this Christian abduction. Get her out of tho way sa soon as you can, tcir sheenrrleaa precloui burden, even a young King. With this youthful prlke she prenaea Into tho room of the ancient temple, tho church of olden time, unwraps the young King and puts him down, sound aaleep as he la, and uncousoluua of the peril that has keen threatened; and thoro for six years he Is secreted la that church apartment Meanwhile old Athallah amuck her lip with satlsf'iollon, and tbtaka that all the royal family are dead. But the alx year expire, and It la now time for young Joaah to come forth and take the throne, and to push liack Into disgrace and death eld Athallah. The arrangement are all made for political revolution. The military come and take poeNlon of tho temple, awear loy alty to tho boy Joaah and stand around for hla defene. He the aharpened swords and the hurnUhed shields! Kvery thing Is ready. Now, Joaah, half affrighted at the armed tramp of his defenders, acared at the vociferation of hla admirer, I brought forth In full re galia. The acroll of authority la put In hi hand, tho coronet of government la put on hi brow, and the people clapped, and waved, andhuuaed, and trumpeted. "What la that?" aald Athallah." What Is thut sound over In the temple?" And ahe flies to ace, and on her way they meet her and say: "Why, huven't you heard? You thought you had alaln all they royal family, but Joush haa come to light." Then the queenly murdcreaa, frantic with rage, grnhlicd her mantln and tore It to tatters, and cried until alio foamed at tho mouth: "You have no right to crown my grandson. You have no right to tako the government from my ahoulders. Treaaonl Treaaonl" While ahe atood there crying that,the military Martini for her arrcat, and ahe look a ahnrt cut through a back door of the temple and ran through the royal tallica; but the battle nxea of the mili tary fell on her In the barn-yard, and fur many a day, when the horses wore being unloosed from the chariot, after irawlug out young Joaah, the Aery iteeds would sport and rear paaalng tha place, as they smolt the place of th jaraage. The first thought I hand you from this subject la that th extermination of rlghteuaacM to aa Impossibility. When a woman Is good, she Is apt to tie very good, and when she Is bad, she la apt to be very bad, aad this Athallah waa eaw of the latter sort. Hhe would exMrml sale the last solon of the llous!

Ha would pet aa ad to every thlag that eould in any wis latcrfere witk her Imperial erimlaallty. 8h folds ker hands and says: "Th work I done; it la eemptotoly doe." Is it?

Well, my friends, just as poeg a botch dnw the world always mska of extin guishing righteousness. Huperstltlon rises up and aays: "I will Just put an end to pure mllgloa." Domltlan slew forty thousand Christians, Diocletian slow eight hundred and forty-four thou sand Christians. And the scythe of persecution has been swung through all tho ages, and the flsmos hlased, and the guillotine chopped, and tho Ilaatlle groaned, but did the foe of Christianity nxterrnlnsto It? Did they exterminate A loan, tho first llrltlah sacrifice; or Zulnglius, the Mwls roformer; or John Gldcnntlo, the Chrlatlsn nobleman; or Ahdallah, tho Arabian martyr; or Anno Askew, or Handera, or Cranmer? Great work of extermination they made of It Jtiat at the time when they thought they bml alaln all the royal family of leun, nomo ,loah would spring up and out, and take the throne of power and wield a very acopter of Cliritlan domin ion. Infidelity says: "I'll Just exterminate tho llllile." und the Fcrlpture were thrown into tho street for the mob to trample on, and they were piled up in the public mi u a re and ot on tire, and mountains of Indignant contempt were hurled on them, and learned unlvorai tie decreed the lllble out of existence. Thomas 1'iilno aald: "In my 'Age of Kcaaon' 1 have annihilated tho Script ure. Your Washington is a pusillan imous Christian, but I am the foe of Bible and of churches. O, how many assaults upon that Word! All tho hotllltle that have ever been created on earth are not to be compared with the hostilities against that one Hook. Said ono man, in his Infidel desperation, to hia wife: "You must not ho reading that lllbl,N and he anatched It away from her her, And though In that lllblu was a lock of hair of the dead child the only child that God had ever given them ho pitched the hook with Its content into the fire, and stirred it with the tongs, and spst on it, and cursed it, and said: "Susan, never havo any more of that damnable stuff here!" How many Individual and organised attempt have been made to extermi nate that Hlblel Have they done it? Havo they oxtermlnattd the Ameiican lllble Society? Have they exterminated tho UrltUh and Foreign lllble Society? Have they exterminated tho thousands of Christian Institutions, whoio only object it is to multiply copies of the Scriptures, and throw them broadcast around tho world? They havo extermi nated until Instead of one or two copies of the lllble In our houses wo have eight or ten, and wo pile them up In the corners of our Hnbbalh-Huhool rooms, and aond great boxes of them everywhere. If they get on as well as they aro now going on In the work of extermination, I do not know but that our children may live to wo the millennium! Yea, if thorn should come a time of poraouuton In which all the known lllble of the earth should tie destroyed, all these lamps of light that blase In our pulpits and la our families extinguished in the very day that Infidelity and ala ahould bo holding a Jubilee over the universal ex tinction, there would bo in somo closet of a hackwooda church a secretin! copy of tho lllble, and thta Joaah of eternal literatim would corao out and come up and take the throne, and the Athallah of Inlldeltty and persecution would fly out of the baak door of tho palace and drop her miserable carcasa under tho hoof of thfhoreosof tho Klng'aatablos. You can nut exterminate Christianity! You can not kill Jonsh! Tho second thought 1 hand you from my subject la, that there are opportuni ty In which we may save roal life. You know that profane history 1 re plot with atorles of strangled mon arch and of young Princes who havo been put out of the way. Hem la tno atory of a young King saved. How Je hoaheba. the clergyman's wife, must have trembled a she rushed into the Imperial nursery and snatched upJoash. How alio hushed him, teat by hi cry ho hinder his escape. Fly with him! Je hoaheba, you hold In your arms tho cause of Uod and good irovernment. Fall, and hn Is slau. Succeed, and you turn the tide of the world' history In the right direction. It seems a If tie twocn that young King and hi assas sins there la nothing but the frail arm of a woman. Hut why ahould we apead our time in praising this bravery of ex pedition when (Sod asks the same thing of you and me? All around ua are the Imperiled children of a great King. They art born of Almighty parentage, and will come to a throne or a erown, If permitted. Hut aln, the old Athallah, goes forth to tho massacre. Murderous temptations aro out for the assassina tion. Yaleas, khe Kmperor, was told that there waa somebody la kls realm who would usurp his throne, aad that th name of tho man who should be the usurper would krgia with ta totters T. II. K. O. 1)., aad the edict went forth from th Kmperor'a throne: "Kill very body whea name begins with T. II. hV a IV Aad hundred and thou saud were slain, hoping by tkat massa cre te put an ad te that en usurper. But sin Is mom terrtlo in Its denuncia tion. It matter aet kow you spell yoar nam, you cam under its kalf. uader it award, under Its doe, unless there b Bom onsnlpownt relief brought to tke rescue. Hut, k!4 he Gd. there to suck a thlag aa delivering a royal aouL Wko will aaatak away Joaah?

There are sleeping In your cradles by night, there aro playing In your nurs eries by day, Imperial souls waiting for dominion, and whichever side the cradle they got out will docldo the destiny of empires. For each one of those chil dren sin snd holiness contend Athallah on the ono sldo and Jehosheba on the other. liut 1 hear people say: "What's the uae of bothering children with religious instruction? Let them grow up and choose for themselves. Don't Interfere with their volition." Suppose some one had said to Jeho sheba: "Don't Interfere with that young .To nsil. lel him grow up and decldn whether he like the palace or not, whether he want to bo King or not Don't disturb hi volition." Johotheba know right well that unless that day tho young King was roMiued, he would never bo rescued at all. I tell you, my friends, the reason we don't reclaim all our children from worldllncs ia because we liegln too late. Parents wait until their children He be fore they teach them Uio value Of truth. They wait until their children swear tHiforo they teach them the Importance of righteous conversation. They wait until their children are all wrapfied up In this world Itoforo they tell them of a tetter world. Too late with your prayers. Too late with your discipline. Too late with your benediction. You put all care upon your children tsitween twelve and eighteen. Why do you not put tho chief care between four and nine? It Is too late to repair a vessel when It has got out of tho dry docks. It Is too lato. to save Joash after th executioners have broken In. May God arm us all for this work of snatching royal souls from death to coronation. Can you Imagine any sub llmor work than this soul-saving! That was what flushed Paul's cheek with en thusiasm; that wn what led .Munson to risk his life amid llorneslan cannibals: that was what sent Dr. Abel to preach under tho consuming skies of China; that was what gave courage to Phocus In the third century. When the mili tary officers came to put him to death for Christ's sake, he put them to lcd thut they might rest while he himself went out and In hla own garden dug hla grave, and then camo back and said: "I am ready;" but they worn shocked at tho Idea of taking the life of their host Ho said: "It Is the will of God that I ahould die," and ho stood on the margin of hia own grave and they beheaded hi tn. You say It la a mania, a tool hardiness, fanaticism. Rather would I call it a glorious self-abnegation, tho thrill of eternal satisfaction, tho plucking of Joslah from death, and raising hi in to coronation. The third thought I hand to you from my text Is that the church of God 1 a good hiding place. When Jehosheba rushes into the nursory of the King and picks up Joash, what shsll she do with him? Shall ahe take htm to some room In the palace? No; for the official desperadoes will hunt through every nook and corner of that building. Shall ahe tako htm to the residence of some wealthy cltUen'.' No; that oltlion would not darn to harbor tho fugitive. Hut she has to take him somen hero.. She heara the cry of the mob In the streets; she hears the shriek of the dying nobil ity; so sho rushes with Joash unto the room of the temple, Into the house of God. and then ahe puts him down. Sho knows that Athallah and tier winked assassins will not bother the temple a great deal; they are not apt to go ery much to church, and no ahe act down Joash la the temple. , There he will Ini hearing tho song of the worshlpem year after year; there he will breathe the odor of the golden censer; In that sacred spot ho will tarry, secreted until the alx years havo passed, and he come to enthronement Would God that wo were as wise as Jehoaheba, and knew that the church of (Sod la the tiest hiding place. Perhaps our parent took ua there In early days; they snatched ua away from thn world and hid nt behind thn baptismal fonts and amid thn lllble and the psalm book. O, glorious Inclosuro! We have been breathing til breath of the golden censor alt tho time, and wn have seen the lamb on the attar and we have handled the plants which are the pray er of all saints, and wo have dwelt un der the wings of the cherubim. Glori ous inaloaurc! When my father and mother dltd, and the property wus out tied up, tkrro was hardly any thing left; hut they endowed a with a property worth more than any earthly rtoaonasloa. because they hid u in the temple. And when days of temptation have comw upon my soul 1 have gone there for shel ter; and when aasealtrd of Borrows I have gone there for comfort and ther 1 mean te live. I want like Joash, to atay there until coronation. I mesa to be burled oat of tho hoes of God.

Oh, that God would remodel our souls oa this subject, aad that wa might appreciate the house of God a the great refuge. If your chlldrea are to come up to live of virtue and happi ness, they will come up uader the shadow of the church. If the church docs aot get them tho world will. Ah, when you paw away and It will not be lung before you do when yon pass away it will be a sethfactlon to aeo your chlldrea In Christian society. You want to have them sitting at the holy sacrament. You want them min gling in Christian associations. Yoa would like to have them die In the sa cred precincts. When you aro on your dying bed, and your little ones coma up to tako your last word, and you look In to their bewildered faoea, you will want to leayo them uader the church's bene diction. I don't-care how hard yon are, that is sa. t aaCl to a man of thn world: ''Your son and daughter are going to Join our Church next Sunday. Have you any objections?" "IIIcsh you," he said, "ob jections? 1 wish all my children be longed to the Church. I don't attend to thoso matters myself I know 1 am very wicked but I am very glad they nro going, and I shall tie there to aeo them. I am very glad, sir; I am very glad. 1 want them there." And so, though you may have been wanderer from God, and though you may have sometimes caricatured thn church of Jesus, it Is your great desire that your sous and daughters ahould In standing all their live within this sacred inclos uro. Morothan that, you yourself will want thn church for a hiding place whea the mortgage Is foreclosed, when your daughter, Just blooming Into woman hood, suddenly clasp hor hands in n slumber that knows no waking, when gaunt trouble walks through the parlor, and tho sitting-room, and thn dining hall, and the nursery, you will want some shelter from the tempest. Ah, some of you have lie en run upon by mis fortune and trial; why do you not com Into the shelter? I said to a widowed mother after she bad burled hor only son months after I said to her: "How do jou get along nowadays?" Oh," she replied, "I get along toler ably well, except when the sun shines." I said: "What do you mean by that?" when she said: "I can't bear to soo tho sun shine; my heart Is an dark that all thn tiriirh tints' of tho natural world seems a mocke to mil."
