The drift, of the Abostle in this
chapter was toward the correction of
harsh iiidcnnents against those whose
o
opinions and practices do not ajree
wnn ours.
.Tiniim hud fallen into crreat hnrd-

special Christian's personal aalvation,
beyond ihe comfort which the thought
ofl
it giyei him now nd the good ne
pea to get oat of it hereafter.
Th aalvation of other! may be a
hot
happy incident in the future history
of this selfish Christian, and he is
willing to see heaven crowded be
cause it must be a better eight than
an empty heaven ; and he is willing
to bare countless million singing, in
heaven because that thnodaring chor
us will be so much more glorious than
if his solitary harp and voice made
the only musio in eternity. But that
is all his selfishness sees in the salva
tion of others,
Such a Christian would very onto
rally be very impatient with any op
position to his judgment and any de
viation irom nis religious practice.
He judges all his tellowmen, and
specially all his fellow christians, as
they "stand" or "fall" to uini,
But Paul vehemently asks, "Who
art thou that judgest another man's
servant ? To his own Master he stand
eth or falleth." And you are not his
master! nor are you his slave; he be
longs to God ; you belong to God ;
he does not live to himself; you do
not live to yourself; he doel not die
to himself; you do not die to your
self. "For none of us liveth to him
self, and no man dieth to himself; for
whether we live, we live unto the
Lord, and whether we die r.o die un
to the Lord ; whether, therefore, we
live or die, we are tha Lords."
Dear friends, this great truth does
two things for ns. First It breaks
ua our selfishness. We neither live
nor die to ourselves. We are not,
therefore, to turn every stream into
the reservoir ot our persoi.al inter
esls and wishes, VV e are not to lead
every man to our way of thinking.
We are uot to hold every man to our
standard. Every roan is to be turned
to God.
Second It takes away our solici
tudes.
If we do not accomplish everything
lor ourselves we are doing something
always for another, and that other is
tue Lord. We are His. ne will not
forsake His own. Our life is thus se
cure. There is a dignity iu living
and there is a grandeur in dying.
Out whole existence is identified with
the life of God. All of our opera
tions are wrought into His'greit
work of carrying the world forward
to consummations the most sublime.
It is neihaDs more easy to perceive
and feel that our lite is not altogeth
er our own than it is to percciye and
feel that our death is not altogether
our own. To human ooseryaiion u
would seem that nothing bo specially
belongs to the self of a man, and so
little to any ono else, as his death.
It is the most solitary fact in each
man's history.
Along all the ways ot lite be may
have a companion, in all the sorrows
and joys of life he may have one Who
sympathises.
In all the walks ot lite he keeps
step to the musio of humanity.
lint when he comes to die he is
separated. He is alone. He is bear
ing a burden which none can share.
He is fighting a battle, single handed,
in the dark, in a vacuum in which
clashing steel can give no Bound.
Or, to change the figure, he has
sailed out. The cables have been
loosened.
'Tho anrinra ttnva rippn liftfld. TTa
is slowly moving from the post. The
spectator look on in solemnity. He
glides into tho stream. A' haze gath
ers about him. But long before he
is lost to sight be, is lost to hearing.
If he speak,' we hear him no longer.
If he fire the farwell gun, we see the
flash down the bay, but there are too
.. -
many intervening sounas ana we are
loo tar ofl'to hear the report. He goes
on and on like a yessel going to sea,
until hia mania nrp. lika a Knack on
the horizon, and then he has gone.

no longer alarm him. You may flash
the keen edge ot a deaaiy oiaae u

thousand leagues away, iney can
not. dip together. A moment comes
when the bodily embraoe is forgotten
in a solitary wrestlo, down in the
dark waters, with the personal iate.
A mine may cave in on a hundred
workmen and mash them together so
closely that they become one com
paot mass of flesh aud bone, and yet
each of the huudred dies as solitary
and alone as it he were the only one
buried alive.
To human imagination nothing
conma an inrloRnribablv and solemnly
and awfully lonely as the act and fact
ot dying.
Tn anvA na from the breathless
terror of this isolation, our most holy
faith comes in with &U raui s assur
ance, "No man dieth to himself."
That breaks the solitude. And
then it adds, "If we die, we die unto
the Lord." That binds the human
hnnA in t ho thiners bevond the crave.
"Whether we liye or die, we are the
Lords." That sanctifies all activity
and all aspiration.
Looked at from this Bide the death
fact is the loneliest ; looked at from
the other side, it is the most cheering.
We can now, dear mends, contem
plate the assertion which at. laul
makes of every Christian man, .wo
man dieth to himself," in several as-
pects which may mane me siuay
profitable. First ot all we have no
Minuip an to the time. We cannot
say, "I will stay in the field and labor
in the vineyard so long, ana men i
will go to my ret in my home."
We cannot engage 10 serve an ioog
and then cease. We need not be
anxious to live to a good old age or
be desirous of departing early. It is
a very morbid thing in young poople
to wish to pass from human activi
ties iu early life.
It was a tond and loonsn aaage oi
the ancients, "Whom the Gods kye
in vonnir." Whom the Lord
oves livo out all their days. These
davs may be few ; then they are
early with the Lord. They may be
many ; then they are crownea wiin
nnnnrt unites, for usefulness, and are
occupied with laying up treasures in
heaven.
A Christian need not be at all con
cerned about the timo of his death.
ndeed, he knows that he could not
of himself make an appointment with
death. He could not say, 44 Thirty
ears from this day at noon, will I go
with thee, ueain, 10 me lanu ueyouu
the grave." He does not know but
that, nt that verv hour there may te
more reason for his living than there
as ever been before, tie might in a
thp.n do more for bimself and
for the world than he is able to do in
year now.
IniWl. I cannot conceive bow any
man ran ever be ready to die, in the
sense of having nothing trfore to do.
An active man is always enlarging nis
field and widening bis work, and when
called away there seems to be more
things for fiim to do than ever before.
He that is most fit to live is in this
senso least ready to die; and he that
is most fit to die is the readiest mat.
for all thst is wholesomely active in
good Hying. It is the comfort of
Christian tailh that we do not die to
ourselves, that it is not a question ot
personal convenience with us. Let
ii ttank God that the responsibility
of the two surpassingly grave ques-
lions ot the time oi our uirm anu iue
time of our death ia not deyolyed on
.. . a a
us. We have been Dorn, ana mat is
accomplished. We shall die some
lime, and that will be aecomplished
with just as littlo influence and re
sponsibility on our parts.
I can understand how a man who
hoa nn faith in Christ should be am-
ioua about the time ot his death and
wish to live on indefinitely.
Ho has no hone bevood the grave.
He is striving to live for himelf But
a Christian lives to ine ixra.
Ha vonld not w'mh to live one min
ute beyond the time when his earthly
existence should ceat 6 to promote tne
o-lorw of hia Lord. And he knowi
that hp .h.ll not: that the very in
Btant his work is done be will be re-
mowd When "we die we die into
th.T-nrn1"
Again: We have to choice as to
th. r.lare. la the human neart ana
- i
in human history there are two op
posing forces. One is conservative,
and makes us love to stay at home ;
the other is progressive, and leads us
out in the hope that we shall be led
dp. How we desire to cling to our
homes I lbere is not a man in thns
tendom whose heart does not respond
tenderly to the sentiment of the air
and words of the song, "Homo sweet
Home," a song that was written by a
man who never had a home and. who
died a wanderer It has occurred to
me that the pathos of that song lies
in the fact that almost no ono has a
home. To most men it ia an ideal.
It is what they should love to have,
A very few do have it 1 just enough
to give to the idea of home somo form
and piessure.
In this congregation there are many
who liye iu houses not owned by
themselves. Perchanco some are
''camping" in hotels and boarding
houses. And I venture to say that
there are not half a dozen people in
this assembly who are living in the
houses in which their fathers lived,
and there is not probably one of us
who will die in tho house in which he
was born. As what is called "civili
zation" advances, more and more we
wonder. We cannot tell where we
shall be next year, Civilization mokes
less room at home. It presses men
out. It makes demands which can be
satisfied only from without. As Chris
tians come to have larger views of
their duties to the race tue more are
they drawn out to work among their
fellow-men in all parts of the world.
And it is a trait of men and birds that
they do not like to go back to the old
cold nests.
We cannot prepare a soft bed for
our dying, and say, "I will come back
and lay me here, and close my life
amid the soones that have been dear
to me." But how immaterial are
such considerations to a Christian !
He is to be nowhere that duty does
not call. He is not to consider how
near that brings him to the death
hour.
The Lord regulates that. Stand
ing in his place at all times, be will
be in bis place when the stroke of
death shall come. It may be on the
mount with Moses, gazing from Pis
gali over ths Promised Lind. It
may be at the Hich Man's door
with Lazarus. It will be just where
it ought to be. Where "we die we
dio unto the Lord." Moreover : We
have no choice as to the manner.
According to a man's temperament
will be his preferences in all things,
even in the matter pf dying as to its
place and method, some would pre
fer a long season of lingering disease,
as calculated to loosen tho cords of
life and let them away more easily.
Others would desire brief notice that
there might be brief suspense.
Generally there seems to be a de
sire that death might not be instant,
Thousands have repeated the petition,
"From sudden death, good Lord de
li ver ns." Ia it a good prayer r lo a
Christian is sudden death a thing bo
undesirable that it should be classed
with pestilence, famine, battle and
murder, ai it in in the Litany ?
Is it more desirable to leel one's
powers wasting through long years,
the old ties loosening, office by office
vacated, one ansociation after another
dissolved, until our life becomes a
' a a
weariness to ourselves and a burden
to others ?
For mv own nart I have long
thought and often said that I should
prefer to live fully, in perfect play of
all my powers, and busier than ever;
ready to go but quite as ready to stay,
and then like our dear friend, J. D.
Locy, in a moment leap the narrow
dividing stream from the banks cf
this island of mortal life to the banks
of the continent of the life everlasting.
To a Christian in full power it muBt
be glorious to have the lightning
flash fling the doors of immortality
open. And yet it is not becoming
that tou and'l should be tondly dwell
ing on sii jh pictures. It may be that
God intends us to long racking pain
that we may Co made perfect through
suffering, that we may no monumental
of that divine7 grace which is sufficient
for ns. He may assemble about our
beds crowds ot great and small, be
cause there is some lesson which our
death shall have spacial power to
teach.
Perhaps he will cut us uff so tbat
nonej of our most intimate friends
ahall know anything about our latter
end. as when men fall in the melee of
a altL ? J !
battle and are hurneaiy Duneu m
trenches crowded with unrecognized
corpses, or drop overboard at sea, or
are lost in lilaek Hill exploration;
in which cases the lives of the f e
nart,! eland out sharply cut aud with-
nut tha aha.nw of death. Of friends
who have so trone we have recolleo
tiona Bimnlv of their lives when those
lives were full of life. The last time
ihoeA friends were in the usual
business of their position jocund and
gay, or strong and full. There is no
memory ot weakness connecieu wuu
such a life.
But the choioc, thank God, is not
with ns. "Whether we live, we liva
unto the Lord ; or whether we die, we
die unto theLord." Wehave thisassur
ance hat the very moment in which
any Christian's life shall close will be
that which shall give his whole earth
ly existence its greatest capability of
benefitting the race and promoting
among men the knowledge of the
Lord our Savior. No Chrialian can
desire more. Every Christian is sure
that ho shall not have less. ' No man
dieth unto himselt." Not by himself,
nor for himself, not to himself. The
Christian dies "unto the Lord."
His death consecrates his whole life
with all its influences to the Lord
whom ha has served. He leaves that
life and that influence to work for his
Lord when he has gone, and then he
goes to be "forever with the Lord,"
enjoying the double immortality ot
Fierpetual influence on earth and ever
asting work and happiness in heaven.
I have been led into this train of
thought by the decease of Mrs. Letty
Ann Holloway, whose lite and death a
seemed to me to make illustrations of ,'
(his text and the thoughts iuto which
it has led me.
Mrs. Holloway died at her residence
in this city on the evening of the 25th
inst., aged 68. She was born in the
State of Ohio, pnd subsequently re
moved to the State of Illinois, where
she remained eighteen years. About
four years ago she removed from
tbencs with her husband and daugh
ter to Oregon, and took up her resi
dence in this city, where she remained
until the hour ot her dissolution.
Two and a half years ago Mrs.
Holloway was stricken down with
paralysis, whioh rendered her alraoBt
helpless, and from which she never
more than partially rocovered. Last
Sunday evening she attended service
in this church, and remarked that she
enjoyed the sermon. On Wednesday
evening, feeling unusually vigorous,
she insisted upon each of the family
attending divine worship here, but,
almost before the preacher had an
nounced his text, the startling intel
ligence was communicated to Mr.
Holloway that his boloved wife had
received another stroke of paralysis.
Hurrying home, he, louud her speech-
less and insensible, in which condi
tion she continued until released by
death.
We have learned from those who
knew Mrs. Holloway best, that she
based her hope of salvation on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and believed that
at last all mankind would stand ac
quitted through Him.
Here, owing to her infirmity, Mrs.
Holloway was comparatively little
known, but in Illinois it was different.
Unselfish, full of sympathy and tend-
crest interest in human weal, she
lived in the very hearts ot a large
circle of acquaintance. Kindness to
the poor seemed a part of her nature,
and made hor the ready helper of all
tho needy who came within her reach.
Though stricken down Buddonly,
m3 . a nn.,il I Ail tn nrinnlr wnriltt nf
counsel and comfort in her last mo
ments to the surviving loved ones,
yet she leaves thorn tho memories of
a life whioh is an ointment poured
forth.
Chuzl. We call the attention of
the Society, for the prevention of cru
elty to animals ti the editor or the
Linn Couuty Leader. Hear bim: "Old
honest Edmund! gave ns a 'creful
dose' of his ideas on finances last
Wednesday evening. The old man
was laboring under a heavy attack of
