and beaks of darkness the poor thing
perished. No wonder it was a bird that
was taken and slain over an earthen
vessel of running water. It was a child
of the skies. It typified him who came
down from heaven in agony and blood to
save our eau's. Blessed bo his glorious
name forever!
A Clean
I notice also in my text that the bird
that was slain was a clean bird. The text
demanded that it should be.. The raven
was never sacrificed, nor the cormorant,
nor the vulture. It must be a clean bird,
says the text, and it suggests tbo pure
Jesus—the holy Jesus. Although be

infidel of this day in the last line of his
book, all of whiob denounces Christ,
says, "All ages must proclaim that

the text be olean—lts feet fragrant with
the dew that is pressed, its beak carrying
sprig of thyme and frankincense, its
feathers washed in summer showers. 0

with thy innocence!
Thou lovely source of true delight,

I remark', also, in yegard to this first
bird mentioned in the text that it was a
defenseless bird. When the eagle is
assaulted, with its Iron beak it strikes
like a bolt against; its adversary. This
was a dove or a sparrow, we eo not know
just which. Take the dove or pigeon in

As after a Severe storm in the morn -
Ins you go out and lial birds dead on

makes me think of that awful storm
that swept the earth on craolaxion day,
wbon the wrath of Goa, and the malice
of man, and the fury of devils wrestled
beneath the three crotses. As we sang

But come now to speak of this emend
bird of the text. We must not let that
fly away until we have examined it. The
priest took the second bird, tied it to the
hyssop breech and Own plunged it in
the blood of the iirst bird, Ale that is
my soul, plunged for oleausing in the
Saviour's blood! There is not enough
water in the Atlantic and Pastille eeeans
to wash away our smallest sin. Sin is
taloa au outrage on God's universe that
=thing but blood mut atone for it You
know the life is in the blood, and as the
life bad boon forfeited, nothing could
buy it back but blood. What was it
that was sprinkled on the doorstop when
the destroying angel went through the
landP Blood. What was it that went
streaming from the altar of ancient
sacrifice Blood. What was it that the
priest carried into the holy of belies,
making intercession for the people)!
Blood. What was it that Jesus sweat in
the garden of Gethsemane? Great drops
of blood. What does the wine in the
sacramental cup signify? 13lood. What
makes the robes of the rigbteous in
heaven so fair? They aro washed In the
blood of the lamb. What is it that
cleanses all our poll:Ulm)? The blood of
Jesus Christ, tbat cleaeseth from all sin.
I hear somebody saying, "I do not like
such a sanguinary religion as that" Do
you think it is very wise for the patient
to ten the doctor, "I don't like the
medloine you have given me?" If be
wants to be cured, he had better take the
medioine. My Lord God has offered us a
balm, and 10 10 very foolish for us to say,
"I don't like that balm." We had better
take it and be saved. But you do not
oppose the shedding of blood in other
directions and for other ends. If 100,000
men go out to battle fur their country
and have to lay down their lives for free
institutions, is there anything ignoble
about that? No, you say, glorious sacrifice
rather. .And is there anything ignoble
In the idea that the Lone Jesus Clang,
by the shedding of his blood, delivered
not only one land but all lands and all
ages from bondage, introducing men by
millions and znillions into the liberty of
the sons of GodP Is there anytbing
ignoble about that?
As this second bird of the text was
plunged in the blood of the first bird, so
we must be washed in the blood of Christ
or go polluted forever.
Let the water and the blood,
From thy side a healing flood,
Be of sin the double oure,
Save from earth and make me pure.
Glorious Freedom.
I notice now that as soon es this
second bird was dipped in the blood of
the first bird the priest unloosened Hand
it was free—free of wing and free of
foot. It could whet its beak on any tree
branch it chose. It could peck the grapes
of any vineyard chose. It was free; a
type of our souls after we have washed
in the blood of the Lamb. We can go
where we will. We can do what we will.
You say, "Had you not better qualify
thatF' No; for I remember that in cent -
version the will Is changed, and the man
will not will that which is wrong There
is no strait -jacket in our religiion. A
state of sin is a state of slavery. A. state
of pardon is a state of entaneipatioe. The
hammer of God's grace knocks the
hopples from the feet, knocks the band -

Why, is not a man free when he gets

the mind gone. All the transgressions of
30, 40, 50, 70 years gone—no more in ;
the soul than the malaria that floated in •
the atmosphere a thousand years ago, for 1
when my Lord Jesus pardons a man he d
pardons him, and there is no halfway
work about it.
Here I see a beggar going along the g
turnpike road. He is worn out with d
disease. He Is stiff in the joints. He 10 c

He le sick and wasted. Ho is in rags. Every a
time he puts down bis swollen feet he u
cries, "Oh, the pain 1" He sees a fountain -t
by the roadside under a tree, and he y
crawls up to that fountain and says: "1 t
must wash. Here I may get rested." He
stoops down and scoops up in the palm
of his hands enough water to slake his
thirst, and that is all gone. Then he
stoops down and begins to wash his eyes,
and the rheum is all gone. Then he puts
in his swollen feet, and the swelling is
gone. Then, 'willing tio longer to be only
half oared, be plunges in, and his whole
body is laved in the stream, and he gets
upon the bank well. Meantime the owner
of the mansion up yonder comes down,
walking through the ravine with his
only son, and he sees the bundle of rage
and asks, "Whose rags are these?" A
voice from the fountain says "Those are
my rage." Then says the master to his
son, "Go up to the house and get the
best new suit you can find and bring it
down." And be brings down the clothes,
and the beggar is teethed ii3 them, and
he looks around and says: "I was filthy,
but now I am clean. I rotas regime, but
now I am robed. I was blind, but now
I see. Glory be to the owner of that
raanSiOn, and glory be to that son who
brought me that new suit of clothes, and
glory be to this fountain, where I have
washed. and where all who will may
wash and be clean)" 'Where sin about:Idea
grace doth much more abound. The bird
has been dipped; now let it fly away.
The next thing I notice about thie bird
when it was loosened (and this is the
main idea) is that it flew away. Which
way did it gal 'When you let a bird loose
from your grasp, which way does it fly?

FIFTEEN THOUSAND KILTS.
litighland Regiments Need That Number
Every Tear.
I think that the publication of regi
mental journals is a step in the direotion
of really ameliorating the condition of
Tommy, without wbioh no effective army
reform is poesible. Thus I welcome the
Red Hackle, which is published by the
Blaok Watch. It is a twenty•four page
quarto, "price annas tvvo." The number
before me was printed at Lahore. It is
full of interesting facts. Thus I learn
that 15,000 kilts are made for the Hight
hind regiments every year, and a man
gets a new one only once in two years.
The Red Hackle, speaking of the Gordons
at Dargal, says they "have added one or
more laurels to Scotia's orown," and the
Black Watoh "sent a telegram ootripli-
menting the Q. G. 'a on their bravery and
success,"..and. received a letter from them
returning thanks for the good wishes.
The name of the journal is, of course,
derived from the red hackle worn in the
feather bonnet by the old "Forty-and-
twa," this distinction baving been elven
them by George III. fee' their conduce; at
Guildermalsen in 1795. The Black Watt*
are very proud of this, as all the other
Highland regiments have white backlog
and the Ifortytwas are further dieting

action I may mention one or two peel'.
Iterates of other regiments, The Orene-
dier Guards wear a white tuft in the
bearskin (sometimes called a "shavillg
brush"), but have a red band around the
forage cap. The Coldstream Guards have
a red tuft, and, strangely eneugh. a
white band around the furagOo4p, where-
as the Scots Guards have no tuft as all.
The Grenadiers wear their tuft on the

A Revised Opinion.
"Horace," said his wife, "I don't wish
to hear another word about going into the
war. Think of me and think of the chil-
dren! What would we do without you?"
"But, my deur, if I'm killed the gov-
ernment will provide for you handsomely."
"Well, 11 15 must bo so, the Lord's will
be done. Perhaps you ought to fight for
your country. I never thought of that."

The black bass is one of the smartest
fish in American waters. There is a eert
tain dignity about him that commands
admiration. As a tighter he has few
equals. Sometimes we think we know
a whole lot about Mr. Black Bass, and
so we do, but don't know all his trick.
He has no faith in the good intentions
of any human being-. If you catch him
you have accomplished something to be
proud of.
The bass is a fish of mighty strength
and full of fight and many resources.
In these and other game qualities be
far excels any other fresh water fish.
Fly fishing for the small -mouthed black
bass is an art and a science. Very few
become expert in casting the fiy.—St.
Louis Globe -Democrat.
