We that have never seen New York or our dear old city by the sea, know they are a reality, though our eyes have never beheld them. We have heard others talk of them and our faith has a strong foundation to rest on. Can we not believe God's word about that glorious city, not made with hands,” eternal in the heavens, that He has prepared for t he faithful ? Our faith can be on a firm foundation if we would trust our dear Master’s loving hand to lead us through the dark dreary ways of life. But alas! the faith of the human heart is too weak.itistoo much like Peter’s,whose heart failed when the waves were about to engulf his trembling form. Our thoughts dwell too much on the fading beauties of earth, more than that continuing city; men build large cities and lay up treasures in them, and above all set their hearts on t hem, but their foundation is of sand ; they will perish with the using, but the city to come lias a firm founda tion whose builder and maker is God. “The way leading to that happy place is the straight and narrow way.” i Why do the noble Missionaries dare the storm of the ocean and endure ; the hardships and trials of a mission- j aries life? Only to point those who ' have never heard of Jesus to t he I “New Jerusalem.” Ought we not to | uphold aud support such a noble cause? f-fod lov^s a cheerful crix-pr i o If we have the love of Jesus in our | hearts we want some one else to | knov of Him and love Him. Oh! j that our women, our noble women would sacrifice their proneness to folly and fashion, and give more to the Lord’s cause to bring others into the glorious light of the gospel. My friends, we are not walking in the “straight and narrow way,” when we lay on the altar of mammon that which belongs to God. That city is worth striving for; it has beauties that eye hath not seen. No earthly city can compare with its purity. You may visit any large town and lie enchanted for awhile, but its impuri ties will soon be discovered. What is the cause? I can tell you, it is sin. But nothing impure can enter there, I mean the New Jerusalem. Let us, my friends, lose not a single opportunity to point some one to the dear Saviour who taketh away the sins of the world ; our opportunities are more precious than diamonds or rubies or all the precious stones of earth; so precious that we cannot find words to express our thoughts on the subject. One soul is more prec ious in the sight of God than all this world, oh, than ten thousand world’s. There is a great awakening going on in many cities of the country for the elevation of those who have sunk so low in vice and sin. Is it not a start in the right direction to point some one. oh, many of those poor creatures to the New Jerusalem? Let us dig deep and fathom somebody’s nature and with the help of God plant the love of Jesus there. It is so sweet to tell of Jesus. One lost opportunity will never come again. It is like a ripple on the water whose surface is stirred for a few moments and is soon gone forever. “The soul uneasy and confined from home rests and expati ates in the life to come. Sin is abroad in our beautiful world, that our maker intended otherwise, and let us put on the whole armor of God and try to get others to join our band to the celestial city. My sinner friend, let me warn you as one that loves your precious immortal soul, to come to Jesus. Come now and make no delay, for delay is dangerous. Too late!-only two words, but what a terrible significance is contained in them. We have no to-morrow, but come while it is to-day. How can you resist such a loving Saviour, who is both able and willing to save you. When your heart responds to the loving call Jesus enters in and claims you for his own dear children. Lovingly, tenderly the Great Shep herd is calling you home to the New Jerusalem. And the spirit and the bride say come, and let him that heareth say come, and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will let him take the water of life freely. Yes, sinner, they all want you to come and drink of the fountain of everlasting iife. It ia the same Jesus that wants you to come and the same water that He spoke of to the woman of Samaria. He is the only door by which you can enter in to the celes tial city. We have so many promises left of entering into His rest. Let us not come short of it but strive to enter in. The gates w : !i- be opened wide if we iz ire part. Prayer is one of the gates wo can enter there and faith the golden key that fits the lock. Press the key firmly and the door will open wide to you. Who will be faithful and true? Oh! that there were more prayer meetings in our land; what good might result from the united prayers of a Christian people. Let us up and be doing and drive satan from his stronghold, and destroyfthe mighty works of darkness. Our captain is leading on ; the victory will be ours, blessed be God. He will lead His children home to that beautiful city, whose streets are of pure gold and will never fade away. But above all the beauties of that glorious rest, our eyes will behold our blessed Master and love and adore and praise Him forever. Amen. Me mon.

Mims.of Smithville.Ga., says: "A small pimple of a strawberry color appeared on my cheek; it soon began to grow rapidly, notwithstand ing all efforts to check it. My eye became terribly inflamed, and was 30 swollen that for quite a while I could not see. The doctors said I had Cancer ot the most malignant, type, and after ex hausting their efforts without doing me any good, they gave up the case as hopeless. When in formed that my father had died from the same disease, they said I must die, as hereditary Caucer was incurable. “At this crisis, I was advised to try S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer h»*gan to discharge and continued to do so for three months, then it began to heal. I continued the medicine a while longer until the Cancer disappeared en tirely. This was several years ago and there has been no return of the disease.” A Real Blood Remedy.
