Sometliing has happened in tlm nlrl
homestead grcator than anything that
has ever happened before. A favorito
foii, whom tho world supposed would
F become a vagabond and outlaw fnmvrr
has got tired of sightsooing and has
returned to his father's honsn. Tim
; wprld snid ho nover would come bark.
Tho old man always said his son would
como. Ho had been looking for him day
after day and year after year. Ho know
ho would como back. Now, having re
turned to his father's house, tho fatlmr
procmiins colouration. Thcro is a calf
in tho paddock that has been kept up
and fed to utmobt capacity, so us to bo
ready for somo occasion of iov that
might como along.
Ah, thero nover will bo a Grander (lav
on tho old homestead than this day. Let
Itho butchers do their work and tho
jtliousokeepers bring into tho tablo tho
Eamoking meat. Tho musicians will tako
jthoir- places, nnd tho gay groups will
fmovo up and down tho flow. All tho
friends and neighbors aro gathered in,
.ami extra supply is sent out to tho tablo I
fof tho servants. Tho father nresirtns nt
tho table, and says cracc and thanks
God that his lern: absent bov is homo
again. Oh, how they missed him I How

, brothor indeed stands routine at tho
Jback door and says: "This is a great
lado about nothing. This bad boy should
havo boon chastenod instead of groetod.
-veal is too good for him!" But tho fa
ther says: "Nothing is too cood. Noth
ing is good enough." Thero sits tho
young man, glad at tho hearty reception,
nut a shadow of sorrow flitting across
his brow at tho remembrance of tho
tronblo ho had hcen. All ready now.
Let tho covers lift. Music. Ho was dead,

tfirst of all, thoro is tho now convert's
joy. It is no tamo thing to bocoino a

tlnio on tho father's homestead is when
tho boy coiuos back. Among tho great

Oh, it is n great roligion to Hvo by,
and it is a great religion to dio by.
Thero is only ono heart throb between

heaven is yours, and all is yours. Somo
of you, liko tho young man of tho toxt,

The Clrclo of Safety.
When a young man went forth into
lifo, tho legond says, his guardian angol
went forth with him, and gottiug him
into a field tho guardian nugol swept n
circlo clear around where tho young
man stood. It was a circlo of virtuo and
honor, and ho must not stop beyond that
circlo. Armed foes camo down, but
wero obliged to halt at tho circlo. Thoy
could not pass. But ono day a temptress,
with diamonded hand, strctchod forth
and crossed that circlo with tho hand,
and tho tempted soul took it, and by
that ono foil grip was brought beyond
the cirolo and died,
Somo of you havo stepped boyond that
oirolo. Would you not liko this day, by
tho groco of God, to btep back? Thi?, I
sav to you, is your hour of snlvatiwi.
Thoro was in tho closing hours of Queen
Anno what is called tho clock scene,
Flat down on tho pillow, in helpless
sicknoss, sho could not movo her head
or movo her hand. Sho was waiting for
the hour when tho ministers of state

nurso said, "Do you seo anything ppcul

would rlso from tho bed of lethargy and

The Itrjolclng Father.
Yon remember reading tho story of n

ty scattered silver and gold among tho
people, who sent valnablo presents to
his courtieis, but methinks when n soul
conies bnck God is so glad thnt to cx

and ho played tho solo, nnd then nftor
ward tho eight or ten bands of musio,

gieater than all tho combined joy of tho
universe whon compared with tho ro
sounding honrt of Almighty God.
For ten years a father went throe
times a day to tho depot His son went
off in aggravating oircnmstnnces, but
tho father said, "Ho will comeback."
Tho strain was too much, and his mind
parted, and three times a day tho father
wont. In the early morning ho watch
ed tho train its arrival, tho steppinp
out of tho passengors, and then tho de
parture of train. At noon he was there
again, watching tho advance of tht
train, watching tho departure.
At night thero again, watching tht
coming, watching tho going, for ten
years. Ho was suro his eou would conn
back. God lias been watching and wait
ing for somo of you, my brothers, 1C
years, 90 yenrs, 80 years, 40 years, per

tho great Father's heart would rojoice

Joy 0er the Itsprntant.
I jiotico also that when n prodigal
comes homo thoro is tho joy of tho min
isters of roligion. Oh, it is a grand thing
to preach this gospel 1 I know there lint-
been a great deal said about tho triah
and tho hardships of tho Christian min
istry. I wish somebody would writo n
good, rousing book about tho joys of the
Christian ministry, Sinco I entered the
profession I have seen moroof tho good
ness of God than I will bo nblo to cole
brato in nil eternity, I know somo boast
about their equilibrium, nnd they do not
riso into enthusiasm, and they do not
break down f'ith emotion, but I confess
to you plainly that when J seo n mun
coming to God nnd giving up his sin I
feel in body, mind nnd soul n transport.
When I beo a man who is bound hand
and foot in evil habit emancipated, I re
joice over it as though it wero my own
emancipation. When, in our commun
ion service, such throngs of youug nnd
old stood up nt tho altars and in tho
presence of heayon pud enrth nnd hell
nttested their allegiance to Jesus Christ,
I felt a joy something akin to that which
tho npostlo doEoribes when ho says:
"Whether In tho body I cannot tell, or
out of tho body I cannot tell, God know
Hnvo not ministers n right to rejoice
when a prodigal comes homo? Thoy
blew tho trumpet, and, ought they not
to bo glad of tho gathering of tho host?
Thoy pointed to tho full snpply, pud
ought they not to rejoice wnon souls
pant as the hart for the water brooks?
Thoy camo forth saylug, "All things
aro now ready," Ought thoy notre
jolco when tho prodigal sits down nt
tho banquet?
How Mlnlitcrit Are 8unUliirI,

Jesus.
Tlio lin'ectuni l'raypr.
When prodignls como home, juit hear
thoso Christians sing! It is not n dull
tuuo you hear at such times. Just hear
thoso Christians prny 1 It is not n stereo
typod supplication wo havo heard over
and over for 20 yoars, but n putting of
tho caso in tho hands of God with nn im
portunate pleading. Men never pray at
great length unless thoy havo nothing
to say, and thoir hearts nro hard nnd
cold. All tho prnyors in tho Biblo that
wero onswored wero short prayers:
"God bo merciful to mo, n sinner."
"Lord, thnt I may rccoivo my sight."
"Lord, snvo mo or I perish. " Tho lon
gest prayer, Solomon's prayer nt tho
dedication of tho toinplo, Ichs than eight
minutes in longth, according to tho or
dinary rato of enunciation. And just
hoar thorn prny now that tho prodigals
aro coming homo. Just seo them shako
hnnds. No putting forth of tho four
tips of tho fingers iu n formal way, but
a henrty grasp, whero tho muvcles of
tho heart seem to clinch tho fingers of
ono hand around tho othor hand. And
then seo those Christian faces, how il
lumined thoy nro. And seo that old
man get un nnd with tho same voicn
thnt ho sang 00 yoars ago in tho old
countiy mooting houfco say, "Now,
Lord, lcttest thou thy servant depart
in peace, for mino oyes hnvo scon thy
salvation. " Tlioro was n mnn of Keith
who was hurled Into prison in timo of
persecution, nnd ono day ho got off his
shackles, and ho camo nnd stood by tho
prison door, nnd when tho jailer wns
opening tho door with ono stroko he
struck down tho mpn who had incar
cerated him.
Passing along tho streets of London,
ho wondered whero his family was.
Ho did not dnro to ask lest ho excite
suspicion, but passing nlong n little
way from tlio prison he saw n Koitli
tankard, n cup that bolonged to tho fam
ily from generation to generation. He
saw it in n window. His family, hop
ing thnt somo dny ho would get clear.
camo and lived as near as they could to
tho prison houto, nnd thoy sot thnt
Kolth tanLnrd in tho window, hoping
ho would seo it, and ho como along nud
saw it, and knocked at tho door, nnd
went in, nnd tho long nbsent fnmily
wero nil togothor ngnin. Oh, if you
would stnrt for tho kingdom of God to
dny, I think somo of yon wpuld find
uoarly all your friends nnd nonrly nil
your fnmilics nround tho holy tnnknrd
of tho holy coininiiniqut-fnthers, i,10th
ers, brothers, sisters, around that sa
cred tankard which commemorates the
lovoof Jesus Christ our Lord I Oh.it
will bo n great cennnunion day when
your whole family sits around tho sa
cred tankard I Ono on earth, ono in
heaven.
Joy of tho Itrilccined.
Onco moio I remark that when tho
prodigal gels back tho inhabitants of
hoavou keep festival. I nm very certnin
of it. If you hnvo nover boon a tele
graphic chart, you hnvo no idea how
many cities aro connected togothor nnd
how winny lnnds. Nearly nil tho neigh
borhoods of tho eurth seem reticulated,
and news flies from city to city and from
continent to continent. But more rap
idly go tho tidings from oarth to honv
en, pml whon a prodigal returns it is
announced before tho throuo of God.
And if these souls today should enter
tho kingdom thero would lo somo ono
in tho houvenly kingdom to my, "That's
my father," "That's my mother,"
"That's my mjii," "That's my daugh
ter," "Thut's my fiiond," "That's (ho
one I nsed to pray for," "That's tho one
for whom I wept m many toais," and
one soul would say, "Hosnmiul" and
nuothor soul would suy, "Halloliiinhl"
