heavenly home. I remember that at a critical period in our missionary
work the venerable Doctor Dyer said to me with tears in his eyes,
"Strife is an awful price to pay for the best results, but strife among
the kinsmen of Christ in the presence of those for whom He died, and
when wandering souls are going down to death, is almost an unpardonable
sin." May I not ask you to-day, dear brothers and sisters, what have we
done to help on in the great work which is to be done in the eventide of
the world? What lonely missionary have we remembered in prayer during
the past week? What wanderer have we tried with love to lead to the
Saviour? Have we given the cost of the trimmings of a dress? Have we
made any sacrifices for Him who gave Himself for us? May I not ask you
to-day here beside God's altar to consecrate all you have and are to His
service?

With some of us the eventide draws on. A little while, such a little
while, just time enough to do His work, and then the end shall come.
And when we reach that other home, next to seeing the Saviour, next to
having the old ties re-united, will be the comfort and the blessedness
of meeting some one whom we helped heavenward and home.
