Proverbs xxiii, 35: "When shall I
awake? I will seek it yet again."
With an iaBight into human naturo
suoh as no other man over had Solomon
in theco words is sketohicg tho mental
processes of a man who has steppod
asido from tho path of rootitudo and
would like to return. Wishing for some
tirg better, ho says: "When shall 1
awake? When shall I get over this hor
rible nightmare of iniquity?" Hut, sc'z
ed upon by uooradioatod appotitAand
pushed do^n hill by his pa^sionsr ho*
cries out: "lwills-ok it >otJigain. 1
will try it onoo morel"
About a mdo from Prioooton, P .J.,
tbero is a skating pond. On- w?. .
when tho ioo w s vory thin, a faV-;' 1
liviog near by warned tho young montrt^
tho oarecrrifskaiinffat that limn Tlmv rl

said, ''Boje.ono round more." lie

jtnd his lifeless body was brought up
And in all matters of temptation and
allurement it is not a prolongation that

^ duigenoo, just ono moro sin. Then
oouies the laiality. Alas, for the ono

gaut literaturo audressi d to young men
pointing out to them all tho daugors 1
and perils of life?oomploto maps of
tho voyago of lifo?tho 6hoalp, tho 1
rooks, the quicksands. But suppoao a 1
youog man isalroad/ nhipwrookod, sap 1
poso ho is already off tho track, suppose
ho has already gono astray, how oan ho
got back? Tnat is a question that ro
mains ur.anBWored, and auiid all the
books of too ltbrarios 1 fiod not ono 1
word on that subjaot. To that olafs of 1
persons 1 this day address inyeolf.
You couiparo what you oro now with
what you wcro throo or four ycars ago,
and you aro groatly disheartened. You
> aro roady with overy passion of your
soul to liaton to a disousfion liko this.
Bo of good oheoi 1 Your best days aro
yot to oomo. 1 offer you tho hand of
weloomo and rosouo. I put tho silver
trumpet of tho gospol to 107 lips and 1
blow ono long, loud blast saying, *
"WhoHover will, lot him como, and let
him oome niw." Tho ohuroh of God is
roady lo spread a banquol upon your ro
turn, and ail tho hurarobs of heaven
fall into huo of bauncrod procession
over your rodciuption.
Years ago. and alula yet Albort
Barnes was living, 1 p oaohad in his
pulpit one night to tho young niou of
Philadelphia. In tho opening of my
disoourso I said, ' 0 Lord, give mo one
soul tonight I ' At tho oioso of the
service Mr. Barnos iuvroluaed ayouug 1
man, saying, "fh s is tho young runa
you prayod for." But I ace uuw it was J
a too Hunted prayer. L otlur no such
prayer tcdiy. It must Uknin u wider (
sweep. ' Lord, give us all those eoola
today for happincas and heaven!
8o far as Cud may help ino 1 propoao
to eliow what aro t^o obataoles to your
return and then liow you aro to t uruiouut
tlubo obat&oloH. The first difficulty in
tho way of your return ia tho foroa of
moral gravitation. .Jaatas thtro is a
natural law which bnu^s down to earth '
an) tiling you throw in olhe air, to itatr*>
ia a corresponding moral gravtta'.iou. 1
nevtr shall forget a pray, r I heard a
youug man make iu tho Y ung M n's
Christian Asstoialion of New Y-itk
Witn trcuibniK voice and bircauung
ojeabothii: *0 God, thou know, hi
how easy it ib for ui i to do wrong sun
how hard it ia tor mo to do right! Goo
helpuu!' That man ki.ows not hia
own heart who hal novtrleli the power
of moral grav .taiiou.
lo your boyhood you had good as'ooiales
and bad atsooiatis. \V hioh most
iniDreNsad von? I) ifin? tho i?a>
year* you have heard pure auoouoteH
and ioipuro aneodotos. Which the
oasu Ht siuok to your nuniory? Vou
hsva had good habile aud bad habits.
To whioh did your tout uioro easily
yield? But that moril gravitation may 1
bo rosisicd. Just as you tuay piok up
at ythiDg from the oarth and hold it io
your, baud toward keavon, j ist so, by
tho power of God's grace, a lailcu soal 1
may bo lifted toward poio*. toward par
don, toward salvauoa, . #Ue foroo of '
moral gravitatiou is in ev*.-ry ouo of us,
but also power iu God's grado to ovoroomo
that foroo.* 1
Tho next thing in the way of your I
return is the power of evil habit. 1
know tbore aro thoso who nay it is vcrv 1
easy for them to give up ovii habits. 1 '
oatinot believe them. Ilore is a uiau 1
given to iutoxioation, who known it is
disgracing Iub family, destroying bis j
property and ruioing him?body, mind j
and soul. If that man, being an lutelli- j
gent man and loving his family, oould ]
easily givo up that habit, would he not \
do so? The faot that ho does not givo j
it up provos that it is hard to give it ,
up. it is a very oasy thing to Bail j
down stream, tho tidooirrying you <
with great foroc; but suppose you turn j
*U - 1? - .1
uu*t up Biicnui, id bu easy men |
to row it? Aa long as wo >iold to tho i
evil inclinations in our heart and to our
bad habitp we aro sailing down btrcani^ (
but the moment wo try to turn wo put v
our boat in tho rapida juat above <
Niagara and try to row up aircaua. 1
A physician tolls his patient that ho 1
must quit the use of tobaooo, as it is ]
destroying his health. Tho man re i
plies, "1 oan atop that habit easy 1
enough." Ho quits tho uao of the 1
weed. He goes around not knowing 1
what to do with himself. He oannot >
add up a column of figures; he oaunot i
sleep nights, it eocms ss if tho world 1
had turned upside down, lie feels his 1
business is going to ruin. Where ho <
was kind and obliging ho is sodding i
and frctfu'. The oompoauro that '
oharaoteriaod him has given way to a i
fretful robtleasness, and he has beoomo 1
a oompiete fidget. What power is it (
that has rolled a wavs of woo ovor the l
earth and shaken portont in the heavens?
Ho has quit tobaooo. Aftor '
awhile he says: "i am going to do as >
1 pleasa. The doctor does not under- t
stand my oase. 1 am going baok to 1
my old habits." And bo returns, h
Kverything assumes its usual oompos- g
urc. His business seems to brighten, y
The world becomes an attractive place oi
^ to live in. His children, seeing the h
Ufforonoe, hail the rotum of thoic g
atbor's genial disposition. What t<
rayo of oolor has dashed blue into the
ky, and grecncsa into tho mountain 1
oliago, and the glo v of sapphiro into h
ho sunao'? What enchantment has v
ifted a world of brauty and j jy on hi* vi
oil? Ho baa ro urard tobaooo. f
Tho faot is, wo all know in our own a
xporionoe that habit is a taskmaster, a
ks long as wo oboy it it dooa not ehts- t
iao us; but let in roust, ami wo find o
