Well, this is the 8iii day of December and the second Habhathof winter. We have had a few shrill, sharp blasts already, forerunners of whole regiments of storms nnd tempests No ono hero needs to be told that we are in ] the opening gates of the winter. This season is not only a test of one's physical endurance, hut in our great cities is a test of ] moral character. A vast number ot people ( have by one winter of dissipation been destroyed, and forevor. Heated in our homes j on some stormy night, the winds howling ' outsido, we imagine the shipping helplessly ! driven on the coast, but auy winter night, : '1 our ears were good enough, wo could hear the crush ol' a thousand moral J shipwrecks.

Now that the. niuinr (lveaiUKs Have come. there are niauy who will employ them in high pur- . suits, in intelligent socialities, in Christian * work, in the strengthening ami ennobling oi moral character, and this winter to many ol f you will ho the brightest ami the best ol all your lives ami in anticipation I congratu- ^ into you.

At such limes the casinos arc in full blast. At such time, tho grogshops in nun night 11 make more than in four oi live nights in summer.

It vould be n beautiful thine for him to do, but he will not do it. Tho most of our youig mon are busy in offices', in factories!, in banking houses, in stores, in shops, and when evening comes they want the fresh air. and th(\v want sight-seeing, and they must have it. they will have it. and they ought to have if. Most of the men here assembled will have three or four evenings of leisure on the winter nights. Af:or tea the man puts on his hat and coat and he goes out. Quo form of allurement says. "Come in horc." Satan says: "It Is best for you to go iu. You ought not to bo so green. By this time you ought to have seen everything." Aud the temptations shall be mighty in dull times such as we have had. but which, 1 believe are gone, for I hear all over the laud the prophecy of great prosperity, aud the railroad men and tho merchants, they all tell mo of the days of prosperity they think are coming. and in many departments they have already come, and they are going to come In all departments. hut those dull times through which we have passed have destroyed a great many men. I'lie question of a livelihood is with a vast multitude tho great question. There are young tnen who expected before this to set up their household, but they have been disinpoiutod in the gains they have made. I'lioy eaunot support themselves, how can hoy support others? And, to the curse of nodern society, tho theory is abroad that a nan must not marry until he lias achieved a ortune. when the twain ought to start it the foot of the hill auJ together climb to he ton. That is the old lashione.l wav. and that vill be the new fashioned way if society i^ iver redeemed.
