fully day after day that he
accomplished this grand result. He did not save sixty-eight people all
at one time, but saved one at a time, and sometimes worked for days and
weeks without finding a single traveler whom he could help. In the same
way, if you desire to be useful in this world, you must use every little
opportunity which comes to you daily. You must be willing to work hard
and keep at it, and even though you cannot succeed in doing any great
thing at any one time, remember that you must keep doing little things
all the while. I trust that God may inspire each of you to desire to
accomplish grand results in your lives by the constant doing of both
little and great things for God and man.
QUESTIONS.--Are dogs serviceable? What kinds are
the most useful? Where do they live? For what and
by whom are they used? What do the dogs do to
revive a traveler? Tell the story of the dog of
the St. Bernard Pass. Of what does this story
remind us? Does Christ try to rescue us? What are
we doing when we reject Him? What lesson does this
dog teach us? Can we do as much as this dog did?
Why? What can we do which the dog could not do?
What other lesson does this dog teach us? Did the
dog save all the sixty-eight people at one time?
Are we able to accomplish God's work all at one
time? How must we do it?

WHILE talking to you to-day about pictures, it will not seem strange

sermon. But my purpose may not be so plain to you when you hear my text,
which is taken from the book of Revelation, twentieth chapter, twelfth
verse: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the
books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of
life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in
the books, according to their works."
[Illustration: "Throwing a Black Cloth Over His Head He Moved About the
Camera."]
These words refer to the great Judgment Day. I suppose that you know
that we must all die, but possibly you did not know, or have
forgotten, that after a time God will raise up all the dead and will
separate the good people fro
