I. Chronicles 29: 27. the The difference between the 2Sth and the ( 9th chapters of U1. Chronicees presents to h: s an illustration of that diierence which re frcquently see in the church as she ,,r asses from times cf enthusiasm to ui.w f depression and back again, and for the rhich there seems to be no human expla- pet iation. So also is it the picture of many Da amilies where the godly father has an un odly son and an tuigodly father a godly ac on, which is entirely contrary to the rules eor hich in our own house we have deter- im nined should abound.

First. in its rea nfatuation. We find him Tobbing the coi alace and p'.undering the temple, places a x hich had always been sacred both to the hk ing and to the people, but which lie pre- Ir ents as dishonored in the 21st verse of Tli he 28th chapter, to the king of Assyria, '_\t >ut somehow sin seems always to present he he same sort of an infatuation to -those sai aho walk for any length of time in its 'vay. yo Second, in its degradation. There -couid wl e no worse -sin than that described in fe. rrses 24 and 25 of the 28th chapter, where he Ahnz gathered together the vessels of the I aouse of God, shut up the doors of the ne iouse, and in all the cities o Juda'h made ev< bigh places to burn incense to other gods. set A picture vrery much like it is found in no the 5th chapter of Daniel the 3d and 5th th erses, where the temple vessels are taken da by the king and used in midnight revelry, be, Nhen suddenly the fingers of a man's hand qu ire seen writin- on the wall. "Thou art of weighed in zthe balance and found want- an in." However, it is true that any man ye Who uses his powers of body or of mind to Gr ,i is as defiantly sinful as was Ahaz the wi ing. ' co Third, ii, his death he is a picture of the wC .d of sin.. He died when only thirty-six te, rears of age an untimely death, and he Ch leeps in a dishonored grav, for they mi would not bury him in the tombs of the to kings, a perfect illustration of the text, bu "Sin when it is finished brings forth ria death." In the city of Paris in burning th, letters of fire a etain place of -dangerous an fin greeted the passer-by with these words, cai ll of them written in fire, "Nothing to cla pay," but he who enters in through the at door will find that the wages of sin is a :eath. This has always been trne. Heze- tie kiah, t~ie son of Ahaz, began to reig lon when h'e was twenty-five years old. Itha is parental heritage he had everything arn against him, but his mother's name was spi Abiah, and she was the daughter of me Zehariah, a man who had understanding ch in the views of God. This is undoubedly sti the secret of HezeL-iah's goodness. Boys on frequently go right when their fathers are wrong, but when the mother is wrong very set rarcly do they wal in the paths of recti- c-n tude. th For sixteen years there had been no song H( in tiie'temple. This wvas a great loss, be- th< eause the people had always been accus- thm toed to sing from the time at creation wi when the morning stars sang together and -a: all the sons of God shouted for joy to the S marching through the Red Sca wvhere the ha sons of Israel were led by LMiriam in the no singing, andl the birth of the hav-iour where W the angels were the choir, the last supper Ci: where the Lord Himself was one of the mi ingers, up to the new heav-en and the new we earth where they sing the new song the toi world has had much to do with music. The hir temple service when men lived in right re- in ations with God and the house was clean ati was beautiful. Some Psalms were written biy n the temple in letters of gold, and the eri people chanted them to the accompani- tel ment of the consecrated instruments, the a: mntiphonal choirs answered each other, as hai for example, in the 24th Psalm, one choir fai would say, "Lift up your heads, 0 ye Gli ates, even' lift them up, ye everlasting da: ~oors, and the King of glory shall come of in" and the other choir would respond, ha: 'Wois this King of glory?" only to have as, the other singers reply, *'The Lord of pic Rosts, He is the King of glory." But for hac ixteen years there had been no song. the First, why was this? The best expla- thi ation is given in the 28th chapter of II. cor Thronicles, the 24th and 25th verses, of 'And Ahaz gathered together the vessels th< >f the house of God, and cut in pieces the lijc essels of the house of God, and shut up ent :he doors of the house of the Lord, arnd out ie made him altars in every corner of it< Terusalem. And in every several city of 1 udah he made high places to burn in- the ~ense unto other gods and provoked to an- hei er the Lord God of his fathers." There los s many a life to-day without a song, and to o all such I give my message. The reason tin or this is found in the fact of sin. We sin 'i n our outward acts, but God can keep us I rom that if we will let Him and give us not he song once more. We sin in our de- eit] ires, but He can remq-re these desires if tall e will but permit Him to do so, and our thi ffections may be set on things above. We 3 in in our motives, but if we are His there chi s a new pivot to our life, and the motives -sh hich were most impure may become pure, pra deed. We have als a bias to sin which w-h 'omes to us with our birth. birt He can Go ounteract it if we will give Him the right wa o do so. If one could throw a stone up the uigh enough it would come to the place offi if equi ise, where the law of gravitation con ould overcome by the high law which wh ulls upward, and so if we did but yield whi urseves to Christ as we ought we would in< ome to the place where He would over- ao ower the weakness of our nature, and pet hat we doubtless need is a song to-dav. son t may be the old song we used to sing. It wi snatural to everybody to sing, the plov-- you ioy as he follows his plow, the shepherd whi s he keeps his flock in the mountains, tuie to alor on the sea and the traveler on. the tar lain, they all sing. At a critical moment rea c the battle of Waterloo when the scidiers wil rere wavering Wellington found out it w as ga seeause the band had stopped. He rdered thme hemusicians to play again, and t.b effect tinj ras marvelous. If there would only be a sec1 ong in our souls to-day and in the church our here would be power.

We have no g in the church to-day as once we had. o not wish to be pessimistic in my viev the condition of things; it is mi great ire to inspire the church with a net e and a conception of better things, ; no one is so blind to-day but what he . see that the church is without the old g she used to have, and beyond all ques. i it is because the temple must needs cleansed. Why should not the work be. now?% 1). Tt ought to begin with the priests niselves as in the Old Testament story. ristian Evans tells of the time when day riding through a wood he dis unted from his horse, hitched it to the e and made his way into the darkening dows and staved upon his face before d for hours waiting for his special blegs or his special work, and when he re ned to his horse and mounted it and next day began his preaching service ival was started which swept the whok intry. Maze spent a day and a night ir ew York hotel asking for God's special ssing because he needed it, and at last .t needs rise and say, "Oh, Iord, sta) ine hand I can hold no more."

And the inner part of the housk ds also to be cleansed. There is in rv church a circle into which God has nied to call certain persons. To these I a direet my message, to the officers ol church of whatever name, to the Sun -school teachers and to those who have orrie spiritually minded is the searching ystion. "Is thine heart right in the sight God?" In the 52d chanter of Isaiah I the 11th verse the prophet says, "13e clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.' d pity the man whose life is unclean, ile his office is one the angels might et to fill. The searching power of God's rd ought to touch the Sunday-school cher. One of Mr- Moody's teachers in icago was dying of consumption. he st leave his Western home and return the home of his boyhood in the East, t before he would leave, entering a car ge he drove to every home and besought members of his class to yield to God, said Mr. Moody, "When the time ne for him to leave Chicago his whole ss, every one of them saved, gathered the platform of the station to wave him arewell. and they all sang, 'Blest be the that ~binds our hearts in Christian e.' " In Galatians, the 6th chapter and 1st Terse, it is commanded, 'ye which spiritual restore the wanderers in the it of meekness," and alas, it is true that n have wandered in multitudes from the rch, and we have done nothing to re am them, let the work of cleansirig ge 3). The church as a whole ought to be right with God. In Zechariah, the 3d ipter and the first seven verses, we have Spicture of Joshua, the high priest, nding before the angel of the Lord. v.was clothed with filthy garments, and Sword of the Lord came saying, "Put ofi filthy garmients and I will ciothie thee ti a change of raiment." These filthy *ments upon the high priest are like the its which cling to some of us. Tfhey ye sapped our spiritual life, and we are veriess in the presence of the world, Sought toonut them offand then puton1 rist, so that living among men we ght win them to Him by the very way i'e. This will rot be easy, for the pie -e of Joshua is with Satan resisting n. I doubt not he is resisting us now~ the presence of God, doubtless calling ention to the way we have sung our ons this morning and uttered our pray but this picture in Zechariah also s us that Joshua, the high priest, had fair mitre set upon his head, and the ids showed that service was hard. That emitre is like the descent of the Holy ost, for which there is a great need to. .Then Hezekiah saw that the vessels the temple were restored. The church had certain vessels committed to her, for example. the Bible. We have ked it to pieces until the faith of some been shaken. "Will you pray for a ological student?" said a woman to me Sweek, who used to be one of the most sistent Christians I ever knew and one the most zealous. "He doubts much of Scripture, and as a consequence his is not only indifferent but inconsist ."The time has come when the Bible ht to be put in the church in the place nee occupied. reaching is another'vessei entrusted to church.

If you read the 30th chapter of I .

England has a school for the educa tion of hangmen. This latest ad junct to civilization in Great Britain was established as a result of bung ling work by executioners during the last few months. The work of a hangman is light and th-e pay high so there are already a number of pupils at the schcol which is in London. A session there is an interesting siht.

Hanging consists not merely in placig a mon nver a trap door and htumching him into space by releasing a bolt. There are varicus nice preliminaries to be gone through. First the condemned must be artist Ically pinicned. Then he must be supported on his way to the scaffold, In order to avoid painful scenes. After that there is the rope to be ad justed quickly and without fumbling, In order that the agony may not be prolonged on the scaffold. The rope must be strong enough to bear the weight of the condemned, but not sc thick as to slowly choke the condemn. ed to death. Useful Birds in tha Garden.
