To eitrth'n remotest sound.
After expounding appropriate paMuices of

(ienesis, xiil.. 30: "All there thlnjrs are naalnst
tin .'' and preached the follow Inc jeinioii:
Father Jacob, you are wrong! You think
jour son ,loeph is dead, but he Is prime min
ister to Ucypt, und has the keyt, of the Brest

all jour life you never inaile a greater lnietake

1'lrnt Manv people are under the
of the
of this
illsiid-
vaiitai;' of an unfortunate name given them
by parents who thought they were doing a
good thing. Snnict lines at the bajitisui ot
children, w bile I have held up one hand in
prujer 1 have held up the other hand in
Hiniu.'niont that patents should liue weighted
the bul.e with Mich a dissonant and repulshe
Iiomeiielature. 1 have not to much wondered
that tome children should ci-y out at tlio
christening font as that others witii such
nailing face should take a title that, will be
the buideii of their lifetime. Ii in outrageous
to iilllict children with an iiude-irable name
heiauso it happened to be postered by a
patent or a rich uncle ft out n liom favors are
expected, or some prominent manor the day
who ni.o nil his lite In dgraee. It is no ex
cuse, because thej nie Script urc names, to cull
a child Jclioinkllii or Tiglalh I'ileser. At this
veiy altar 1 baptised one by the name

bleiil lieuven any parent should want to give
ton child the mime of tlmlloosc and infauions

Ilia Hometimrs the groat hindrance In life Is
i oi in the given name but in the family name.
While loglehiluie ale willing to lift 'bitch In
culms there are families that keep a name
which mortgages nil the generations with a
gieat disadvantage. You say: "I wonder if
lie is any relation to so and so, mentioning
some family celebrated for ci line or decep
tion." it is n wonder to me that in all such
families sonic spirited voiing iiiun does not
rise, faying to his brothers ami sistois: "If
you waul to keep tills nuisance or scaiida!f.a
tlou of a name I will keep It no longer than
until by the quickest courts) of the hoy I can
slough oil this giuigicne."

When tlio general assembly of the Presby

of which ha b.on a lifelong obitacle. If joii
