e ail absorbing question with you ith me ought to be: ‘‘Lord, what ou have me now and here to du?” is one word in my text around which the nioat of our thoughts will this morning revolve. That word is ‘“‘Home.” Ask the different men the meaning of that word and they will give you ten different definitions. To one it means love at the hearth, it means plenty at the table, in- dustry at the workstand, intelligence at the books, devotion at the altar. To him it means a greeting at the door and a smile at the chair. Peace hovering like wings. Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Life is a tranquil lake. Pillowed on the riplets sleep the shadows, Ask another man what home is, and he will tell you it is want, looking out of a cheerless fire-grate, kneading hunger in an empty bread tray. The damp air shivering with curses. No Bible on the shelf. Children,robbers and murderers in embryo. Obscene songs their lullaby. Every face a picture of ruin, Want in the background ana sin staring from the front. No Sabbath wave roiling over that door-sill. Vestibule of the pit. Shadow of infernal
walls. Furnace for forging everlasting chains. Faggots for an unendi g funeral pile. Awful word! It is spelled with
curses, it weeps with ruin, it chokes with woe, it sweats with the death agony of despair.
The word Home in the one case means everything bright. The word Home in the other case means everything terrific. I shall speak to you this morning of home as a test of character, home as a refuge, home as a political safeguard, home as a school, and home as a type of heaven.
And in the first place i remark, that home is a powerful test of character, The disposition in public may be in gay cos- tume, while in private it is in dishabille. As play actors may appear in one way on the stage and may appear in another way behind the scenes, so p:ivate character may be very different from public character. Private character is often public character turned wrong side out. A man may re- ceive you into his parlor as though he were a distillation of smiles, and yet his heart may be a swamp of nettles. There are business men who all day long are mild and courteous and genial and good natured in commercial life, damming back their irritability and their petulance and their discontent, but at nightfall the dam breaks and scolding pours forth in floods and freshets.
Audibon, the great ornithologist, with gun and pencil, went through the forests of America to bring down and to sketch the beautiful birds, and after years of toil and exposure completed his manuscript and put it in a trunk in Philadelphia for a few days of recreation and rest, and came back and found that the rats had utterly destroyed the manuscript; but without any discompo- sure, and without any fret or bad temper, he again picked up his gun and pencil aad
and reproduced his immortal work. And part of that less who are utterly unrecon- cilable, who, at the loss of a pencil or an article of raiment, will blow as long and sharp a8 a north-east storm.

want to be knocked down. ‘There are men who hide their petulance and irritability just for the same reason that they do not let their notes go to protest: It doves not pay. Or for the same reason that they do not want a man in their stock company to sell his stock at less than the right price, lest it depreciate the value, As at some- times the wind rises, so after a sunshiny day there may be a tempestuous night. There are people who in public act the philanthropist, who at home act the Nero, with respact to their slippers and their gown.
Again, I remark that home isa refuge. Life is the United States army on the pational road to Mexico, a long march with ever and anon a skirmish and a battle. At eventide we pitch our tent and stack the arms; we hang up the war cap. and lay our head on the knapsack; we sleep until the morning bugle calls us to marching and action. How pleasant it is to rehearse the victories aud the surprises’ and the attacks of the day, seated by the atill camp fire of the home circle !
Yea, life isa stormy sea. With shivered masts and torn sails and hulk wleak, we put in at the harbor of home, Blessed harbor! There we go for repairs*in the dry dock of quiet life. The candle in the window is to the toiling man the lighthouse guiding him iato port, Children go forth to meet their fathers, as pilots at the ‘‘ Narrows” take the hand of ships.. The door-sill of the home is the wharf where heavy life is un- laden.
There is the place where we may tatk of what we have done without being charged with self-adulation. There is the place where we may lounge without being thought ungraceful. There is the place where we may express affection without being thought silly. There is the place where we may forget our annoyances and exasperations and troubles. Forlorn earth pilgrim, no home? Then die. That is botter. grave is brighter and grander and more giorious than this world with no tent from marchings, with no harbor from the storm, with no place of rest from this scene of greed and gouge and loss aod gain, God pity the mau or the woman who has no home !
Further, | remark that home. is a politi- esl safe-guard. The safety of the State must be built as the safety of the home. Why cannot France come to a placid repub- lic? Ever and anon there is a threat of national capsiz2. Frauce as a nation has notthe right kind of a Christian home. The Christian hearthstone is the only corner-stone for a republic. Tho virtues cultured in the family circle are an absolute necessity for the State. If there be not enough moral principle to make the family adhere, there will not be enough political principle to make the State adhere. ‘‘No home” means the Goths and Vandals,means the Nomads of Asia,means the Numideans of Africa, changing from place to place, ac- cording as the pasture happens to change. Confounded be all these Babels of iniquity which would overtower and destroy the home. The same storm that upsets the ship in which the family eatls will siak the frigate of the Constitution. Jails and penitentiaries and armies and navies are not our best defence. The door of the home is the best fortress. Household utensils are the best ariillery, and the chimneys of our dwelling houses are the grandest monu- ments of safety and triumph. No home. No Republic.
Further, I remark that home is a school. Old ground must be turned up with subsoil plough, and it must be harrowed and re- harrowed, and then the crop will not be so large as that of the new ground with less culture. Now, youth and childhood are new ground, and ali the influences thrown over their heart and life will come up in after life luxuriantly. Every time you have given a smile of approbation—all the good cheer of your life will come up again in the geniality of your children. And every ebullition of anger and every uncon- trollable display of indignation will be fuel to their disposition twenty or thirty years from now—fuel for a bad fire a quarter of a century from this. You praise the intelli- gence of your child too much sometimes when you think he is not aware of it, and you will see the result of it before ten years of age in his annoying affectations. You praise his beauty, supposing he is not large enough to understand what you say, and you will find him standing on a high chair before a flattering mirror. Words and deeds and example are the seed of charac- ter, and children are very apt to be the second edition of their parents. Abraham begat Isaac, so virtue is apt to go down in the ancestral line ; but Herod begat Arche- laus, so iniquity is tranemitted, What vast responsibility comes upon parents in view of this subject !
O! make your home the brightest place on earth, if you would charm your children to the high path of virtue and rectitude and religion. Do not always tura the blinds the wrong way. Let the light which puts gold on the gentian and spots the pansy pourinto your dwellings. Do not

aud ‘The Mill by the Mountain Stream,’ and ‘The Fox Hunt,’ and ‘The Children Amid Flowers,’ and ‘The Harvest Scene,’ and ‘The Saturday Night Marketing.”
Get you no hint of cheerfulness from grasshoppers leap, and lamb’s Frisk, and quail’s whistle, and garrulous streamlet, which from the rock at the mountain top cleat down to the meadow ferns uader the shadow of the steep, comes looking for the steepest place to leap off at, and talking just to hear itself talk? If all the skies hurtled with tempest, and everlasting storm wandered over the sea, and every mountain stream went raving mad, frothing at the mouth with mud foam, and there were nothing but simoons blowing among the hills, and there were neither lark’s carol nor humming bird’s trill, nor waterfall’s dash, but only a bear’s bark, and panther’s scream, and wolf’s howl, then you might well gather into your homes only the shadows. But when God has strewn the earth and the heavens with beauty and with gladness, let us take into our home eircles all innocent hilarity, all brightness and all good cheer. A dark home makes bad boys and bad girls, in preparation for bad men and bad womon.
Above all, my friends, take into youre homes Christian principle. Can it be that in any of the comfortable homes of my congregation the voices of prayer is never lifted? What! No supplication at night for protection? What! No thankegiving in the morning for care? How, ny brother, my sister, will you answer God in the day of judgment, with reference to your chil- dren? It is a plain question and therefore Laekit. In the tenth chapter of Jeremiah God says he will pour out his fury upon the families that call not upon his name. O parents ! when you are dead and gone and the moss is covering the inscription of the tombstone, will your children look back and think of father and mother at family prayer? Will they take the old family Bible and_open it and see the mark of tears of contrition and tears of consoling promise wept by eyes long before gone out into darkness? Oh, if you do not inculcate Christian principle in the hearts of your children, and you do not warn them against evil, and you do not invite them to heliness and to God, and they wander off inte dis- sipations and into infidelity, and at last make shipwreck of their immortal soul, on their death bed and in their Day of Judg- ment they will curse you! Seated by the register or the stove, what if on the wall come out the history of your children ? What a history—the mortal and immortal life of your loved ones! Every parent is writing the history of his child. He is writing it, composing it into @ song or turning it into a groan.
My mind runs back to one of tho best of early homes. Prayer, like a roof, over it. Peace, like an atmosphere, in it, Parents, personifications of faith in trial anc comfort in darkness. The two pillars of that earth- ly home long ago crumbled to dust. But shall I ever forget that early home? Yes, when the flower forgets the sua that warms it. Yes, when the mariner forgets the star that guided him. Yes, when love has gone out on the heart’s altar, and memory has emptied its urn into forgetfulness. Then, the home of my childbood, I will forget thee : the family altar of a father’s impor- tunity and a mother’s tenderness, the voices of affection, the funerals of our dead father and mother, with interlocked arms like intertwining branches of trees making & perpetual arbor of love and peace and kind- ness—then I wil! forget them—then and only then. You know, my brother, that a hundred times you have been kept out of sin by the memory of such a scene as i have been describing. You have often hod raging temptations, but you know what has held you with supernatural grasp. 1 tell you aman who has had such a good home as that never gets over it, and a man who has had a bad early home never gets over if,
Again, I remark, that home is a type of heaven. To bring us to that home Christ left His home. Far up and far back in the history of heaven there came a period when its most illustrious citizen was about to absent Himself. He was not going to soil from beach to beach ; we have often done that. He was not going to put out from one hemisphere to another hemi- sphere ; many of us bave done that, But he was tosail from world to world, the spaces unexplored, and the immensities untravelled. No world had ever hailed heaven, and heaven had never hailed any other world. I think that the windows and the balconies were thronged, and that the pearline beach was cruwded,with those who had come to see Him sail out the harbor of light into the oceans beyond. Out, and out, and out, and on, and on, and on, and down, and down, and down He sped, until one night, with only one to greet Him, He arrived. His disembarkation so unpre- tending, so quiet that it was not known on earth until the excitemeat in the cloudjgave intimation that something grand and glorious had happened. Who comes there! From | what port did he sail? Why was this the iplace of his destination? I question the shepherds, I question the camel drivers, I question the angels, 1 have found out, He was en exile. But the world has had plenty of exiles. Abraham an exile from Ur of the Ohaldees; John an exile from Ephesus; ¢Kosciusko an exile from Poland; Mezzini an exile from Rome; Emmett an exile from Ireland; Victor Hugo an exile from France; Kossuth an exile from Hungary. But this one of whom I speak to-day had such resounding farewell and came into such chilling reception—for not even an hostler went out with his lantern to help him in—that he is more to be cele- brated then any other expatriated one of earth or heaven.
It is ninety-five million miles from here to the sun, and all astronomers agree in ssying that our solar system is on!y one of the small whee!s of the great machinery of the universe, turning round some ene great centre, the centre so far distant it is beyond all imagination “and calculation; and if, ds some think that great centre kdistance is heaven, Christ
