What If uJl the books hud lived that

The fatal epidemic of books

Another defeat of oblivion will bu
found in the character of thoiv whom
no rescue, uplift or nave. Character
Is eternal. Suppose by a right Influence
we aid in tr'uniforming a bad Ansa*
into a good man, u dolorous man into
a happy man, a disheartened man iufo
a courageous man, every stroke ?t
that work donu vviTl be iminortallaed.
There may never be no much as on*
line iu a newspaper regarding it or
no mortal tongue may ever whisper it
into human oar, but wherever that ooul
shall go your work vipon It ahull go,
wherever that aoul rises your work
on it will rise, and ao long as that aotfi
will lust your work on it wiil lust. Do
you suppose there wtfl over couio such
an idiotic lnpso In the history of that
soul in Henvrn that it shall forget that
you invited him to Christ| tl\a( you,
by prayer or (Joapel word, turned hliu
round from the wrong way to the right
way? No such insanity will ever suilte
a lieuvtnly citixcn. It is not half as
well on earth known that Christopher
Wren planned and built St. Paul's as
it will be known In all llearen that you
were tho instrumentality of lAillding
a temple for the ?ky. We teach
Sabbath class or put a Christian tract
in the haud of a pa.sse.rby or testify
for Christ iu a prayer-meeting or
preach a sermon and go home discouraged,
as thou tfh i othlug had been ao- I
coinplifched, when wo hud been character
building with a material that no
frost or earthquake or ro lling of the
centuries can damago or bring dotvu.
Oh, this character building! The
structure lasting independent of
passing centuries, independent of
crumbling mausoleums, independent
of tho whole planetary system. Aye,
If the material uuWtrN, which xemi
all bound together like one piece of
machinery, should solos day meat with
nn accident thnt should send worlds
crashing into ciyjh other like telescoped
railway trains, and all the
wheels of constellations and galaxies
should stop, nnd down into ono chasm
of Immensity all tho sums and moon*
und ?tnrs should tumble like tko midnight
express ut Ashtabula, that would
not touch us and would uot hurt God,
for God is a spirit, and character and
memory are immortal, and over that
g-rave of ? wrecked material universe
might truthfully bo writ-tern "The
righteous shall br hoJd In everlssting
rcuieiubrauoe." 0 IHtac, we dofy thoet

God and Heaven.
What Joy, what honor, oon thero be
comparable to that of being remembered
by tho Luightleot and most affectionate
being iu tho universe?
Think of it, to hold an everlasting
placo in the hgurtofGod! The heart
of God! Tho most beautiful palace in
the universe. Let tho archangel build
some palace as grand as that if he
can. Let him orumble up ail tho stars
of yesternight and to-morrow night
and put them together as mosaics for
such a palace floor. Let hliu taks all
the sunrises and sunsets of all the

hang them up as upholstery at its windows.

and with them arch tho doorways of
that paluoe and thdn invite into all
the glorios that Esther ever aaw at a
Persian banquet or Daniel ever walked
among in Dab/Ionian castles or Joseph
ever witnessed in Pharaoh's
thronerooiu aud then yourself enter
t his palace of archungelio construction
and sco how poor a palaco it is compared
with the greater palaco that
some of you have already found in
the heart of a loving and pnrdoning
God and Into which oil tho music and all
the prayers and all tho cormonic oorG
slderations of this d$y are trying to
introduce you through tha blood of tho
laiu Lamb.
Oh, where la oblivion now? From
the dark und overshadowing word that
it seemed when 1 began it has hodomo
something which no man or woman or
child Who loves tho Lord naad over fear.
Oblivion dofented. Oblivion dead. Oblivion
sepulcliefed. Hut 1 must not
be so hard on this devouring monster,
for into ita grava go all our sins whoh
the Lord for Christ's saka has forgiven
them. Just blow a resurrection
trumpet over thorn whan onca ob11v
1 on has (mapped them down. Hfft
out of them rises. Blow again. Not a
stir amid nil the pardoned iniquities
of a lifetime. Blow again. Not one
of them moves in tho deep grave
trenches. But to this powerless resurrection
trumpet a roioe responds,
half human, half Dlvint, and it must
be part tuau and part God, sayingi
"Their a ins and their iniquities wiil I
remember no more." Thank God lor
bis bleased oblivion, fto you a?e I
did not inrit? you down int-o a cellar,
but on a throne; not into the graveyard
to which all flpattrialUw U destined,
but iuto a |/arduu all a*bloom
