?II Hamuel xvui., 29.
Tho honrt ?>I David. tho lathor, wu^
yvrappod up iu his boy Ab?alom. Ho was a
splendid boy, judged by the rul<w of worldly
criticism. From t U?? orowu o| his bond to
the nolo ot his foot thero was not 11 slngh
blemish. ' Tho Hlble says tlmt ho had such a
luxuriant shock of hair that when once a
year it w as shorn, what wan cut off wolghod
over throo pounds. Hut notwithstanding all
his brilliancy of aopoArunoo ho wan a bud
..Voy, and broke his father's haart. He we*
plotting to gel Ihe throne of Israel. Ho had
marshaled an urmy to overthrow his father';
government. The day of baltlo had eomo.
The eonfllot was begun. David, tho fttther,
?'?t between thogatosof tho palftoo waiting
for tho tiding^ of tho oonfliot. Oh, bow
rapidly hi* heart beat with emotion.
The two groat questions wer<> to bo decid
ed ? theaatoty ot his boy and the eoutlnu
^ anoa ot the throne of Israel. After a while a
servant, standing on the top of the house,
looks off and sees some ono running. He i-,
oomiug with great f.peed, ami the mau oi)
the top of the house anuounoo* the corning
of the mOHSHUgcr, and the father watch ex
and waits, aad a* soon n^ wu>'?mo.ssongor
from the field of battle oomw within hulling
? distanee tho father orloa out. Is It a ques
^ tlon in rouard to- the j?stubll#lnn?nt of his
#. i throne? ,I>oes ho say: ''Have the armies of
Israel been victorious.' Am I to continue in
my imperial authority'.'' Have I overthrown
my enemies?" Ob. uo! Thero Is oue ques
tlon that spring* from his heart to th? lip.
and sprlugs from the lip into the ear of the
benwoatod and bodusted messenger (lying
from the battlefield ? tho question, "Is the
young man Absalom safe?" When It was
told to Davit!, the king. that, though his ar
ml en had boon victorious, his son bad been
slain, the fathor turned his bftok upon the
congratulations of the nation imd went up
the stalrsof his pulaoe, his hear! broaklng as
bo wont, wringing bis hands soinotlmes and
thoil again pressing them against his temples
?al though he /would pro^s them in. orylng:
?(> Absalom' my son1 my sen! Would to
Opd Iliad ?led for thee. O \?mlom'.my
Vion! my son!'
My friend*/ the question whloli David, the
king, asked IV regard to bis sou is tho quo.-,
lion that resounds lo-ilay lu the hearts "I
hundreds of par^Sil*.-- Yea, tbormuauv great
multitude of you\ig men who know that tho
- question ot the text Is appropriate when
linked in regard to them. Thoy know the
temptations by which thoy are hUrrotindod.
They see so many who aturlod life with as
good resolutions as they have who have
falleu In the path, and they are ready to
lieur mo ask tho question of inv text, "is I he
young man Absalom safe?" The fact Is that
this life is full of peril, lie wln< undertake?
it without the grace of God and a proper un
derstanding of tho coulllot Into which be is
going must certainly bo defeated. Just look
off upon aoolely to-day. Look at the ship
wreck of men for whom fair things were
promised and who started life with every ad
vantage. ? Look at those who have dropped
from hlglf social posit ion ami from great for
tune, disgraced" for H mo, disgraced for eter
nity. All who wiorillco thelriiitegritv uoino
to overthrow. Take a dishonest dollar and
bury it in tho renter of t ho eart h, and keep
all tho rooks of tho mountain on top of it.
then oovor these rooks with all the diamond*
of Oolconda, and all the silver of Nevada,
and all the gold of California and Australia.
:tnd put on'thrc top of those nil banking and
inonoyod institutions, and thoy erinnot keep
down that ono dishonest dollar. That one '.is
'honest dollar In the center of tho earth wil!
begin to heave and rock and upturn Itself un
til It comes lothe resurrection of damnation.
"As tho part ridge sitteth on eggs .and
batcheth them not. so he that get tot h rlo<??- i
and not by right shall leave them in Hi
inldet of his days, and at his end shall be a
fool."
?low, whnt are tho safeguards of voting
men? The first safeguard of which I want
to speak is a love of home. Tlwe nr?? those
who have n<? h^oa <>r the pleasures that eon
ebutrate around that word "heme. Per
haps your early abode was shadowed ^.ilh
vico or poverty. Harsh words and ?! til ??? ? ?
and scowling may have destroyed all the
I So not it V of that spot. Love, kindliest, and
v .self saeriflce, whloli have built thoir altars in
so many abodes, were strangers In yout
father's house. Hod pity you, young man
you nover had a home. Rut a multitude in
this audience can look back to a spot that
they can never forgot. It may Imvo boon a
lowly roof, but you cannot think Of it now
without a dash of emotion. You have seen
nothing on earth that so stirrod yout s-miI.
A stranger passing along that place might
see nothing remarkable about it. I?nt, oh' how
much it means to you. Fresco on palace
wall does not mean so much to you as those
rough hewn risers. Parks and bowers and
tree* on fashionable watering place or coun
try seat do not menu so much to you as (ha!
brook that ran In front of the |daln farm
house and singing under the weeping wii
Iowf. The harrod gate why swung open by
portor In full dress does not menu as much
to ypu as that swing gale, your sister on mi"
side of it and you on the othor, she g.ni " Uf
toon years ago into glory, thfit iwrni coming
hack to you to-day, lis vou swept backward
:md forward on the gate, singing the ?oii?s
"of vour childhood. Hut there are those here
who have their sftlvuul dwelling place. It is
your adopted home. That is also suero.l
forever. There you cstablishel the llr**
family altar. Thoro your ehildren were j
iKsru. In that room ?iu.; 01 in ? |

work is done, you expect t" I i?* down and J
die. There is only one word in nil tin* lan
guage that can convoy youi idea of that I
plaeo.'nnd that word Is "home.

it shows iii the color ot the cheek, t lie rounding of the .

It is cod-liver oil digested for you, slipping as easily
