The Joyful Faust.
Something has happened in the old
' homestead greater than anything that has
ever happened before. A favorite son,
' whom the world supposed would becomes
Vagabond and outlaw forever, has got
ired of sightseeing and has returned to
his father's house. The world said he
never would come back. The old man ai-
Ways said his son would come. He had
been looking for him day after day and
year after year. He knew he would come

back. Now, having returned to his fa-

ther’s house, the father proclaims celebra-
tion. There is a calf in the paddock that
, has been kept up and fed to utmost capac
ity, so as to be ready for some occasion of
joy that might come along.

Ah, there never will be a grander day
on the old homestead than this day. Let
the butchers do their work and the house-
keepers bring in to the table the smoking
meat. The musicians will take their
places, and the gay groups will move up
and down the floor. All the friends and
neighbors are gathered in, and extra sup.
ply is sent out to the table of the servants.
The father presides at the table and says
grace and thanks God that his long absent
boy is home again. Oh, how they missed
him! How glad they are to have him
backi One brother indeed stands poutlng
at the back door and says: “This is a great
ado about nothing. This bad boy should
have been chastcned instead of greeted.
Veal is too good for him!” But the father
says, “Nothing is too good; nothing is
good enough." There sits the young man,
glad at tho hearty reception, but a shadow
of sorrow flitting across his brow at the
remembrance of the trouble he had soon.
All ready now. Let the covers lift. Music.
He was dead. and he is alive again! He
was lost, and he is found! By such hold
imagery does the Bible set forth the merry-
making when a soul comes home to God.

The Redeemed Soul.

First of all, there is the new convert's
joy. It is no tame thing to become o Chris-
tian. The most trcmcndous moment in a
man's life is when he surrenders himself
to God. The grandest time on the father‘s
homestead is when the boy comes back.
Among the great throng who in the par»
lore of my church professed Christ one
night was a young man. who ncxt morn-
ing rang my doorbell and said: "Sinl
cannot contain myself with the joy i feel.
I came here this morning to express it. i
have found more joy in five minutes in
serving God than in all the years of my
prodigality, and I came to say so."

You have seen perhaps a man running
for his physical liberty and the oillccrs of
the law after him, and you saw him cs
cape, or afterward you heard the judge had
pardoned him, and how great was the glue
of that rescued mun! llut it is a very tamc
thing that compared with the running
for onc's chrinsting llfc, the tcrrors of
the law after him, and Christ coming in
to pardon and bless and rescue and save.
You remcmlwr .lobn Bunyan, in his great
story, tells how the pilgrim put his fingers
in his cars and run, crying, “Life, life,
eternal life!" A poor car driver, after
having bad to struggle to support his fain-
iiy for years, suddenly was informed that
a large inheritance was his, and there was
joy amounting to bewilderment, but that
is a small thing compared with the expert
once of one when he has put in his hands
the title deed to tbojoys, ibc ruptures, the
splendors of heaven, and be can truly say,
"Its mansions are mine; its tcniplcsaro
mine; its songs are mine; itsGod is mine!"

on, it is no tamc thing to become a
Christian. It is n mcrrymnking. It is
the killing of tho fattcd calf. It is jubilcc.
You know the ilibic ncvcr compares it to
a funeral, but always compares it to some
thing bright. it is more apt to be com-
pared to a banquet than anything else. It
is compared in tho liible to thowntcr—
bright, blushing water—to the morning,
mseamdlrc worked, mountain transflgurcd

all the pimple who mud this somnon knew
the joys of the Christian religion, they
would all pass over lntothc kingdom of
God the next moment. When Daniel
Sandcinan was dying of cholera, his nt-

The long at lkllek.

The night after the battle of Shiloh than
were thousands of wounded on the field,
and the ambulances had not come. One
Christian soldier, lying there haying un-
der the starlight, began to sing:

There is a land of pure delight.

And when he came tcthe next line there

were scores of voices uniting:
Where saints immortal reign.

The song was caught up all over the field
among the wounded until, it was said,
there were at least 10,000 wounded men
uniting their voices a they came to the
verse:

There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering overs.

Death. like a narrow stream. divides
That heavenly land from ours.

Oh, it isa great religion to live by, and it
is a great religion to die by. There is only
one heatt throb between you and that re-
ligion this moment. Just look into the face
of your pardoning God and surrender your-
self for time and for eternity, and he is
yours, and heaven is yours, and all is
yours. Some of you, like the young man
of the text. have gone far astray. I know
not the history, but you know it—you
know it.

When a young man went forth into life,
the legend says, his guardian angel went
forth with him, and getting him into a field
the guardian angel swupt a circle clear
around where the young man stood. It was
a circle of virtue and honor, and he must
not step beyond that circle. Armed foes
came down, but were obliged to halt at the
circle. They could not pass, but one day
a temptress, with diamonded band.
stretched forth and crossed that circle
with the hand, and the tempted soul took
it, and by that one fell grip was brought
beyond the circle and died. Some of you
have stepped beyond that circle. Would
you not like this day, by the grace of God,
to step back?

This, I say to you, is your hour of sai-
vaticn. There was in the closing hours
of Queen Anne what is called the- clock
scene. Flat down on the pillow, in help-
less sickness, sbe could not move her head
or move her hand. She was waiting for
the hour when the ministers of state
should gather in angry contest, and wor—
ried and warn out by the coming hour,
and in momentary absence of the nurse,
in the power—strange power which de-
lirium sometimes gives one—she arose and
stood in front of the clock, and stood there
watching the clock when the nurse re-
turned. Thc nurse said, ”Do you see any-
thing peculiar about that clcckl" She
made no answer, but soon died. There is
a clock scene in every history. If some of
you would rise from thcbcd of lethargy
and come out of your delirium of sin and
look on the clock of your destiny this mo-
ment, you would see and hear smoothing
you have not soon or heard before, and ev-
ery tick of the minute, andcvcry stroke of
the hour, and every swing of the pendu-
lum would say, ”Now, now, now, now!"
Oh, come home to your Father's house!
Come home, oh, prodigal, from thowildor-
ness'. Como homo, conic liouioi

Joy of the Father.

But I notice that When the prodigal
came there was the father's joy. He did
not greet him with any formal “how do
you do?” He did not come out and say:
“You are unfit to enter. Go out and wash
in the trough by the well, and then you
can come in. We have had enough trou-
ble with you."

Ab, no! When the proprietor of that
estate proclaimed festival, it was an out-
burst of a father's love and a father's joy.
God is your father. I have not much sym—
pathy with that description of God I some-
times hour, as though he were a Turkish
sultan—hard and unsympathetic and lis-
tening not to the cry of his subjects.

A man told me he saw in one of the
eastern lands a king riding along, and two
men were in altercation, and one charged
the other with having catcn his rice. And
the king said. “Then slay the man, and
by post mortcm examination find whethcr
he has eaten the rice." And be was slain.
Ah, the cruelty of a scene like that! Our
God is not a sultan. not a despot, but a
father—«kind, loving, forgiving—and he
makes all heaven ring again when n prod-
igal comes back. - “I have no pleasure,"
he says, “in the death of him that dieth.”

If a man does not got to heaven, it is
because he will not, go there. No difference
the color, no difference the history, no
difference the nnnx'cdenis, no difference
the surroundings, no diilercncc the sin.
When the white horses of Christ's victory
are brought out to colchrntc the eternal tri-
umph, you may rido one of them, and as
God is greater than all his joy is greater,
and when a soul comce back there is in his
heart the surging of an infinite ocean of
gindncss, and to express that gladncss it
takes all the rivers of pleasure, and all the
thrones of pomp, and all the ages of eter-
nity. It is a joy deeper than all depth, aml
higher than all height, and wider than all
width, and vnstcr than all immensity. It
over-tops, it undcrglrds, it outwrighs all
the united splendor and joy of the universe.
Who can tell what iiml's joy isl

I notice alsothat when a prodigal comes
homethereisthe joyof teeminiaters of
religion. 0b. is is a grand thingto preach
this gospel! I know there has been a great
deal said about the trials and the hardships
of the Christian ministry. lwiah some-
body would write a good, rousing book
about the joys of the Christian ministry.
Since I entered the profession I have seen
more of the goodness of God than I will
be able toceiebrate in all eternity. I know
some boast about their equilibrium, and
they do not rise into enthusiasm, and they
do not break down with emotion. ' But I
confess to you plainly that when I see a
man coming to God and giving up his sin
I feel in body, mind and soul a transport.

When I see a man who is bound hand
and foot in em habit emancipated, I re-
joice over it as though it were my own
emancipation. When in our communion
service such throngs of young and old
stood up at the altars. and in the presence
of heaven and earth and hell attested their
allegiance to Jesus Christ, I felt a joy
something akin to that which the apostle
describes when he says: “Whether in the
body I cannot tell, or out of the body I
cannot tell. God knowcth."

Have not ministers a right to rejoice
when a prodigal comes home? They blew
the trumpet, and ought they not tobcgiad
cf the gathering of the host? They pointed
to the full supply. and ought they not to
rejoice when souls pant as the hurt for
the water brooks? They came forth. say-
ing, "All things are now ready.” Ought
they not to rejoice when the prodigal sits
down at the banquet?

Value of a Calm Mind.

Life insurance men will all tell you that
ministers of religion, as a class, live lon-
ger than any other. It is confirmed by the
statistics of all those who calculate upon
hunmn longevity. Why is it? There is
more draft upon the nervous system than
in any other profession, and their toll is
most exhausting. I have seen minister's
kept on miserable stipends by parsimoni-
ous congregations, who wondered at the
dullness of the sermons, when the men of
God were perplexed almost to death by
questions of livelihood and had not enough
nutritious food to keep any fire in their
temperament. No fuel, no fire. I have
sometimes seen the inside of the life of
many of the American clergyman—never
accepting their hospitality, because they
cannot aflord it—but I have seen them
struggle on with salaries of $500 and $600
ayear, the average loss than that, their
struggle well depicted by the Western mls»
sionary who says in a letter: “Thank you
for your last remittance. Until it come we
had not any meat incur house for one
year, and all last winter, although it was
a severe winter, our children wore their
summer clothes. ”

And those men of God I flndln different
parts of the land struggling against an
noyanccs and cxaspcrations innumerable,
some of them week after week entertain-
ing agents who have maps to soil and sub
milling themselves to all styles of annoy-
ance, and yct without complaint and
cheerful of soul. How do you account for
the fact that those life Insurance men tell
us that ministers as a class live longer than
anyoilu'rsl It is because ofthc joy of their
work, the joy of the harvest field, the joy of
greeting prodlgnls home to their Father's
house. '

Rejoice In All Innocence.

We are in sympathy with all innocent
hilaritlcs. We can enjoy a hearty song,
and we can be morry with tho merricst.
but those of us who have toiled in the
service are ready to testify that all these
joys arc tame compared with tho satisfac
tion of seeing men enter the kingdom of
God. The great. eras of every minister are
the outpourings of the Holy Ghost, and I
thank ilod I have seen ‘30 of them. Thank
God, thank God!

I noticcnlso when the prodigal comes
back all earliest Christians rejoice. If you
stood on a promontory, and there was a
hurricano at sea, and it was blowing to
ward the shore, and a vessel crashed into
the rocks, and you saw people get ashore
in tho lifclmnts. and the very last man
got on the, rocks in safety. you could not
control your joy. And it is n glad time
when the church of God secs men who are
tosscd on the ocean of their sins plant
their feet in the rock Christ J is.

No Long I‘rayers Nee 'ed.

When prodigals come home, just hear
those Christians sing! it is not a dull
tone you hear at such times. Just hear
those (‘bristiuns pray! It is not a sicroo
typed supplicntlon we have board over and
over again for 20 years, but nputtlng of
the case in the bands of God with an im-
portunnto pleading. Iiicn ncvcr pray at

All the prayers in the liiblo that wcro an»
swercd were short prayers: “God, be morv

receive my sight;" “Lord, save me, or i

prayer at the dedication of the temple,

Romans and Abu-Simbel.

It is such a surprising and comfortable
fan that the authorities, for a wonder,
pr tically agree at to Rameses' date. they
only varying some 50 years, which, in
matters Egyptian, is a more nothing. A
man who reigns 07 years, lives to be just
100 and begets 170 children is likely to
leave a pretty big footprint in the sands of
time. if is characteristic way of proclaim-
ing his achievements, as it were, with a
foghcrn, all up and down Egypt, makes
him very precious to the historian. It is
your modest Clnclnnatns kind of hero
who does a,great thing, and then, diving
back into obscurity, wants so much re-
searching that he becomes a trial even to
a German savant.

Directly Ramcscs had achieved a con-
quest he could not rest till he had carved
the record of it on every wall space from
Memphis up to Ahuélmbel. Moreover,
he kept a poet laureate. one I’cntaur, who
wrote a glorious poem in praise of Ram-
escs, and this is cut in the wallsof Luxcr,
on the itamasseum at Thebes, at Abydos,
and of course at Abu-Slmbcl. if. was about
the year 1330 ll. 0. that Ranicscs began
his temple at AbuASlmbcl. It was a su-
pe - idca, worthy of his great mind. lie
6 ipiy took a vast hillside and hcwcd his
temple out of the heart of it. Nothing
less than a facade 1:30 foot long ami 105
foot high would satisfy the imperial nrchl~
test, and there he set the four lnunortai
warders, his own royal likeness four times
repented.

What must they have been in their un-
speakable dignity on the great 'day when
all Egypt journeyed to the consecration of
the temple! Ewn now, after 3,000 years,
wrecked and ruined as they are, eternal
peace sits upon their lips, and, defying
the centuries, they still keep watch across
the desert sand, gazing with untroublcd
eyes into the very heart of the dawn.—

Tom, Dick and Harry.

This is the expression by which we com-
monly designate people in general of no
very elevated description. In one well
known illustrated book, Brown, Jones and
Robinson is more or less thus used. Sim-
ilar expressions in other languages may
perhaps be interesting.

Pierre ct Paul, but a French lady tells
me she has never seen or heard it, though
Pierre, I’aui ct Jacques is not imconr

The Germans also use flock and Mack.

do not seem to be Christian names, and.
curiously enough. they also use two liib»

(also written “Kreull und l’lcdi").

in ltaiinn I find in “Marietta (by I. L.

ligious novel, valuable as explainingnll
the important doctrines of the ilomnn
Catholic church in a readable form. “V!

Suitable Names.

A funny thing happened to me once. A
friend had promised to bring a dog to sec
me. They came when I was ill. I heard
the family saying: "Don't let him jump
on the bed and frighten her! Don't let
him go in too suddenly!" and of course 1
fully csmctcd to see alargc hound. When
my friend entered, I could see nothing but
a string, and there was lifted up on to the
bed a black something about a quarter of
a yard long an an eighth of a yard wide!
And his name was Lee! I laughed so
much over this that the doctor thought i
was getting well. How ridiculously peo-
ple do name dogs! Iicre was this bit of c
beastlc called Leo, and I saw a dirty, miser-
able poodle the other day who was named
Sweetie, while a great big hound was
called Bijou.

Still, when people are so silly about
their children's names, it is not surprising
that they should be equally queer about
their pets. Who hasn’t heard the story of
the baby whose mother was very rmnan-
tie, and who rejoiced in the surname of
Bose? When a daughter appeared, this
sentimentalist thought it would be very
sweet to name her Wild, and so she was
known as Wild Rose until her eighteenth
