As the largest pureult of the King, or the President, or the statesinan {8 the reform of the condition of the pcople, so the largest pursult of the individunl is the reform of hiinself. The soul is an empire. It Is contended by many that the destiny of a soul is of greater moment than the carcer of a state, because the state Is earthly and temporary and the eoul tmmortal. While it may be fmpossible to tind any euch comparative values of abjects so great, we are safe fu aflirming that each human belng carries an emplre [n his bosom where his strange soul dwells. To cducate, to reform, to save this soul, s the greatest purcuit. Let our theme therefrom be * Personal Reform." As natfons begin (n Larbarism, so man begins in at least a negative condition, and hence, like the once unbroken wilderness nf Amerlea, he stands to be subdued and developed into utility and beanty. 1nthe natural mind either the wants are only anima), or elsc there Is only a love of elcep, or elee across the eoul wild, wicked passions play lke savages fo the carly forests of New Eugland. Therels a close re- semblance between the natusel sonl and the wild country—the passtons of the former belng much like the wild Indlane that bunt, and fight, and scream In the latter. To turn this wild fleld into a garden of all the fruits and Llossoms is the chief problem In life. The wild orange and wild ollve are unfit for the lips, They ure full of bitterness. To have found the laws of na- ture by which these wild fruits can be rendered dellcious i one of the wonders and triumpbs of scfentific rescarch, One plan pervades the world, and hence to find the laws by which a humble, a1most repulsive, eoul may become a beautiful human creuture, the picture of God, 18 the re- scarch which shouid engage us all.

How to rute and develop the resources of such u epirituat kingdomn Is the questlon that miects man the moment he realizes the exist- ence of self. Here comes back to us the law which we everywhere meet that there s no excellence withiout labor. The different woods and the dinmond and agate stones betray thelr beawy only aftera long polish hus worn away the outer coverlng, All glory of wood or of ‘stone ljcs convealed, waiting for labor to come. The dinmond _flashes only after its Inner Jight has been set frea by toll.” Hence Angelo ennz that a8 these (l{’(ng chips yeveal at Just the hienl statue, so the toll of life knock away the euter coverlog and dlseloses the Inmost sonl.

The love of fash- fon, the worship of money, the constant pursalt of so-alled pleasure, the study of ease, are completing in the intellect just such a ruin as breaking the ten commandments completes in the heart, and are leaving us often to wonder whether these souls need more a love of the things in the sanctuary or an appreciation of the mighty kingdom of ‘God outside. \What so Leautifles and blesses the religious mectings uow held In this city Is partly the fact that they come in an aige when the mind is sctive gather- ing up great principles and casting out lttle and worthless ones, and when, too, the mind bas reached the breadth and llberty which can earry {t over the scctarfan lines andland it on o broad, apen shore of slinple Christianity. rol- lowing an inteliectual revival of a half century, this spiritunl conversion sweeps along more free from bigotry and wider in ite useful- ness than Eeflmpn any former awakening i all rellgions history, Every church in the land has profited fn iis rellglous conversion by the ln!c“eulu!l conversion which surrounas IL; so that from it should come the frank confessfon thut man wust be saved from {dleness und ignorance ns well as from his sins, While, thercfore, the Churcl fs dafly remind- ing the individual of the danger which sur- rounds his soul, it {s important that the individ- ual remember well the dangers which encol ass his mind ond the whole gpiritunl character.
