Proverbs xxiii, 35: "Whon shall I
awako? I will seek it yot again."
With an insight into human nature
such as no othor mau over had Salomon
in thoao words is akotohlug tho montai
procesaos of a man who has stopped
asido from tho path of rootitudo and
would liko ?b roturn. Wishing for sorno
ting botter, ho says: "Whon shall I
awako? Whon Bholl 1 got ovor this hor
rible nightmaro of iniquity ?'But, so?//
od upon by unoradioated appotito and
pushed donn hill hy his passions, ho
crios out: *'Iwillsook it yot again. I
will try iConoo morel"
About a milo from Prinooton, N. J.,
th ero is a skating pond. Ono winter day,
whon tho ioo was very thin, a far mor
living near by wornod tho young men ol
tho dan gor of skating at that timo. They
all took tho warning oxoopt ono youDg
man. Ho, in tho spirit of bravado,
said, uBoye,ono round moro." Ho
stiuok out on his skates, tho ioo broke,
and his lifeless body waa brought up.
And in all mnttors of temptation and
allurement it in not a prolongation that
is propoood, but only just ono moro in
du) gen co, just ono moro sin. Thou
oomos tho fatality. Alas, for tho ono
round morol "1 will s:ok it yot
again."

poso no is already off tho track, oupposo
ho has already gono astray, how o?n ho
got baok? Thau is a question that ro
mains unauswored, and amid all thc

word on that subj 2Ot. To that elate o?
porr?ono I this day address mytolf.
You oompRro what you aro now with
what you wtro tbroo or four yoars ?go,
and you aro groatly disheartened. Yuri
aro ready with ovcry pasuiou of your
soul to liston to a disousiion Uko th's.

"Whoaover will, lot him oomo, and lot

fall into lino of bauaorod prooitwiou
over your rodemption.
Yoars ago, and w hilo yot Albort
Barnes was living, I proaohod in hi^t
pulpit ono night to thc youog mon of
Philadelphia. In tho opening of my
diooourso I ?hid, ' 0 Lord, give mo ono
soul tonightl ' At tho c.OJO of tho
sorvioo Mr. Barnon iuttod?ood a young
man, saying, "Th s is tho youog mau
you prayod for." But I t>oe now it w?s
a too limitod prayer. 1 offer no mich
prayor tidiy. lt mutt tako io a wider
sweep. "Loid, give ue ail the.-.o souls
today for happiness and heave ul1'
t?o far as God may help mc 1 propose
to Ghow what, i re tho obstuolea io your
roturn and ?hen bo iv vou aro to i ?rmo?ni
thoso obstados. The iirut difficulty iu
tho way of your return is tho U.roo of
moral gravitation. Juit au thoo is ft
natural law whioh brines do*vn to O?rth
anything you throw in o ttio air, so ?hero
ia a corresponding merni gravitation. I
nover shall forgot a prayer I hoard a
young man make in tho Young Men's
Christian Association of Nnw Yoik
With trembling volco and btronmiug
eyes ho said: ' O God, thou knowcat
how.easy it is for mo to do wrong and
how hard it is for mo to do rigb.il God
help mc!' That man knows not hid
own heart who has never folt tho power
of moral gravitation.
In your boyhood you had good nssooi
atos and bad assooiatis. Whioh moat
improBsod you? Daring tho last low
yoars you havo hoard puro anoodotos
and impuro aueodotos. Whioh tho
oasiesb Btuok to your memory? You
havo had good habits &nd bad halms.
To whioh did your poul moro easily
yiold? But that moni gravitation muy
bo resisted, Just as you may pick up
anything iroiu tho oarth and hold it in
your hand toward heaven, just so, by
tho power of God's gruoo, a fallon .soul
may bo lifted towaru peaoo, toward par
don, toward salvation. Tho torco ot!
moral giavitation i? i:i every ono of us,
but also power in God's gi*oo to ovor
oomo thad foroo.
Tho next thing in tho way of your
roturn ?B tho pawer of evil habit. 1
know thoro aro thoso who s*y it is very
easy for thom to Rive up ovil habitu. I
cannot beliovo thora. Hero is a man
given to intoxioatiou, who k.mwa ii xe
disgracing hiii family, destroying Uie
property and ruining him-body, mind
and ?oui. If that man, being an intelli
gent man and loving his fttinily, could
easily givo up that habit, would ho not
do BO? Tho faofc that he dooa not givo
it up proves that it is hard to givo it
np., it ia a very ea?y thing to fail
down stream, tho tide Oirryiug you
