:
BOYD
Delivered on Sunday, Sept. 2a! at the Congregational Church.
(Continued from last week)
Do you a_jk for  a particular illustration of the fascinating powers of sin over
the son!.   I will give you. one from  the
distant past:   Mark Anthony was one of.
tho triumviri that ruled Eome after  the
assassination of Caesar.   He was the possessor of high military talents, the idol of
his soldiers, the husband  of the nobly
born Octavia, and one of the ohiefs bf the
greatest empire in the world.   This man
as you know, was met in the fullness  of
his strength and in the pride of his. victories by the luxurious Cleopatra, queen
of Egypt,  Lured by hex voluptous wiles,
he yielded himself up to a life of sensuous prodigalisy.   The feast,  the  dance,
the song absorbed his time; the artifice
and beauty of Cleopatra captivated his
soul.   Eegardless of honor or duty, he
divorced his wife; reokless of consequent
ces, he wasted his vast resources, neglected his fortune and saw without concern,
the preparations of his riyal, Oefcavious,
to secure his ruin.   He lay a  self abandoned victim, in tho arms of   his   artful
destroyer.   No sense of honor,  no idea
of self respect, no  fear of  overhanging
consequences, could arouse him from his
fatal enhancement.   Rut the cloud soon
burst over his head  and in  the awful
deluge which followed, his empire, his
fame, Ms uncounted  wealth,  his great
gifts, yea, even life itself was swept away.
Tho clamorings of his better self  was
hushed by the fierce demand of his point- j
ed soul.
The poor Eobert Burns, the bard of
Scotland, also illustrates the power of
vice to retain its victim. His brilliant
talents raised him at once from obscurity
to distinction. His manly, generous independence, won for him tho admiration
of men. With ordinary prudence he
might have spent his days in ease and independence. But this noble (spirit, this
giant intellect was held in the bonds of
diasipation. Again and again the good
angel would come to him and he would
declare his willingness to break the accursed fetters that bound him; but alas!
The foul demons of evil would come in
anc* at last they conquored—and ho died
in poverty. The victim of madness which
destroyed his powers, dimmed the luster
of his fame and shortened his days on
earth,
How almost omnipotent is vice—No
man can break its Uower^rto • map. *5ati;
master its influence unless he has back
of him the omnipotent power of tho Almighty.
You remember how bitterly Francis, I,
persecuted the christians and yet no fear,
so completely had he hushed the appeals
of his conscience, but on his death bed,
it seemed to him that the spirits of those
he murdered came back to torment him.
He was then too late, the miserable victim
of shame and remorse.
With a wild look in his eyes he started
up in his bed and exclaimed: "Who are
they! Why "Will they not go away and
let me die in peace?" And in awful
agony he died a, mad delerium.
Do you ask how can such a terrible experience be avoided—I answer in no way
but by yielding the soul to the claims of
a just God. Ohrist alone is the life, the
truth and the way.
Among all nations there is a felt want
of something outside of man to meet his
great soul's needs. The 5'3rd chapter of
Isaiah's prophecy read like a biography
of Jesus christ. It speaks of one "Bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows."
"The chastisement of our peace was upon Him." Through time alone we find
access to the Father.
A sick soldier during the late war
tried often to gain admittance to President Lfa coin's room in order ; that he
might ask for a furlough to go home for
a short time. "Little Tad" saw hie sad
face as ho turned to go away and inquired what he wanted. The soldier told him
his sad Biory. The boy said, I will take
you in, but he too was refused at the
door. Finally the boy cried out, "Father! Father! Father!" The kindly face of
the President appeared and *he admitted
both. "Little Tad" told the soldier's
story and the request was granted. In a
far higher Sense Christ is the way to the
Father and our advocate.
But it is laid upon us to confess our
sins and if we do so "He is faithful and
just to forgive our sins," and we are told
tbat "if any man sin we have an advocate
with the Father." "Whosoever believeth
Him    shall be saved."   The very
master, who exclaimed "well done captain* Of what company ask the private,
without a moments hesiienoy, The
great Napoleon said, the company whioh
you have -.erved as a private. The soldier -rothrncd to his company at once and
attsumed command and issued orders.
Tho raiea of his company thought him
ottny, and asked by what authority he
assumed command. He pointed to Na-
peleota answered. "He Said it." That was
suiBosent, Napoleon "said it" and his
authority was supreme.
My friends, one greater than Napoleon
speaks to "us today. One in whom ad-
hears all power and all authority in
"heftvrariinci earth. One who is King,
yea, King of Eangs. We may be His
if -wajmI] and He may be ours if wo
choose him.
"F<)r as many as receive, Him, to them
gave He power to become the sons of God.
Even to them that believeth on His name
for it doth' not yet appear what we shall
bo, but we know when He shall appear
wa-jahnlLbs like Him, for wsshali eeoHitn
as Ho is."
"For what doth the Lord God require
of thee, but thou shalt deal justly, love
mercy nod Y^alk humbly before God."
"Salvation from sin ia found alone in
Christ, through faith. For by grace,
through faith, are ye saved and that not
of yonrsolve'..   It is the gift of God-"

Shepherd Is Alarmed.
The citizens of Glare are anxious to secure « good flouring mill, and to that end
have expressed a willingness to raise a
bonus of §2,000 for a good mill to locate
gt that place. We aro credibly informed
that James Egbert, of the Shepherd
Boiler Mills, has been interviewed with a
view to getting his null to that place.
Our citizens should see to it that Mr.
Egbert and his mill remain in this village. He manufactures an excellant
grade of flour and has buil'o nt." a trade
which extends for miles in every direction, and our merchants especially, should
encourage an indusbry so essential to the
business interests of this, place, by making a specialty of handling flour manu-

Faith in him its the basis of this trust.
