In the follow- ing discourse, which he has sent for publication this week, he gives a pre- saription for ail anxiety and worri- Meat aed illustrates the divine syM- pathy for all who are in any kind of struggle. The text is Matthew xiv, VAner his disciples went and told Jesus: An outrageous assassination had je.st takeh place. To appease a re- vengeful Woraan King Herod ordered the death of that, noble, self sacrific- ing prophet, john .the Baptist. The grove, of the disciples were thrown Into tre lei and dismay. They felt themselves utterly defenceless. There a was no authority to which they could appeal,and yet grief must al- ways find expression. If there be no human ear to hear it, then the agon- ized soul Will ore', -it tilted. to the winds arid the woods and the wat- ers. But there was an ear that was ' willing to listen., There is a ten- der pathos' and at the same time a most admirable picture in the, words Of my text, "They went and told Jesus," He could understand all their grief, and he inimediately soothed it. Our burdens are, not more than half so heavy to 'carrer. if another shoulder is put under the other end of them. Here we find Christ, his brow shadowed with grief, standing amici.,the group of diseiples, who, with tears andvio- lent gesticulations and wringing of hands and outcry of bereavement, are expressing their woe. Raphael, with his skillful brush putting , upon the wall of a palace some scene of sacred story, gave not so skillful a stroke as when the plain hand of the evangelist writes, "They went and told Jesus."' I feel that I bring to you a most appropriate message. I mean to bind up, all your griefs' into a bundle and set them on fire with a spark' from God's altar. The ,prescription that cured the sorrow of the disciples will cure all your headache. I have read that when Codfreer and his, army marched out to capture Jerusalem, as they came over the hills, at the first flash. Of the pinnacles of that beautiful city, the army that had marched in silence lifteda shotit that ine,cle the earth treinble. Oh, you soldiers of Jesus Christ, marching on toward heaven, I would that to- day, by some ,gleam from the palace of God's. mercy and God's strength, you might be lifted into great re- joicing, and that as the prospect of its peace breaks on your enraptured gaze yon.might raise one glad hos- anna to the Lord! , In the first place, I commend the behavior of these disciples to all burdened souls who are unpardoned. There comes a time in almost every ma nes history when he feels from seine source that he has an erring nature. The thought may not have such heft as to fell him. It may be only like the flash in an evening cloud just after a very hot sunamer day. One man' to get rid of that impression will go to prayer, an- other will stimulate himself .by ar- dent spirits, and another man will dive deeper into secularities. But sometinies a man cannot get rid of these impressioes. The fact is, when . a man finds out that ,his eternity is poised upon a perfect uncertainty - and. that the next moment his foot may slip, he must do something vio- lent to make himself forget where he, stands, or else fly for refuge. Some of you crouch, under a yoke, and you bite the, dust, when this mo- ment you might rise up a crowned conqueror. Driven and perplexed as you have been by sin, go and tell Jesus. To relax the, grip of death Iran your soul and plant your un- shackled feet upon the golden throne, Christ let the tortures of the bloody mount, transfix him. With the ,beam of his own cross he. will 'break down theadoor of your dungeon. • From the erehorns of his own crown.he will pick enough gems to make your, brow blaze With eternal victory. In every tear on his 'wet cheek, in every gash of his side, in every long, blackened mark of laceration from shoulder to shoulder, in the graveshattering, heaven •storireing death groan, I hear him say, "Him that cometh unto Me I Will in nowise cast out. " You will never get rid of your sins in any, other way. And remember that the broad invitation which T, extend to you will not always be ex- tended, .King Alfred, before modern timepieces were tavented, 'used to, di- vide the day into three parts,eight hours each, and then had three wax candles, ' By, the time the first can - die had Maimed :to the Socket eight ' hours beel g000, anci when the second candle had burned to the socket an- other eight hours had gone, and when all the three candles were gene out then the day had passed. Oh, that some of us, ' instead.

It is very easy to go on down with the stream and with the wind leing 00 your oar, lint just turn • around end try eo go against .the wind and the tide, and you will find it is a dirferent matter. As long as we go down the current of our evil habit eve seem to got along quite smoothly, but if after awhile we tura arouad and head the other way, toward Christ mid pardon and heav- en, oh, then how we have .to lay to the oars! You will have your temp- tation.. You leave one kind, you an- other, you another, not one person °seeping. it is all folly for you to say to some one, "I could, not be tempted as you are." Tho lion thinks it is so strange that the fish shonld be caught with a hook. The fish' thinhs it is so strange that the lion should be caught with a trap. You see some man with a cold, phlegmatic temperament, and you say, "I sup- pose that man haS not any teenOta- tion." be, as Much as you have. In his ohlegena,tie nature he has a temptation to indolence and censor- iousness end overeating and drink- ing, a temptation to ignore the great work of life, a temptation to lav down an obstacle in the way of all good enterprises.

Sortie slander comes after 'you, horned and husked and hoofed, to gore and 'trample you. And what are you to do? I tell you plainly that all who serve Christ must suffer persecution. It is the worst sign in the world for you to be able to say, "I have not an ene- y in, the world!' A woe is pro- nounced in the Bible against the on5. of whom everybody speaks well.. If you are at Peace with all the world and everybody likes you and approv- es your work, it is becatese you are an idler in the Lord's vineyard and are not doing your duty...

' eel* neelennentle SUITS OF OF ARMOR. The Last Battle In Which Thee- Were. Worn by European soldiers,. The last occasion, it is believed, es. which suits of armor were wurn'in bat- tle by European soldiers was in /M. The incident..e.ccording to cbroMciers of the Napoleonic wars, took place he that year, when a small. French form was holding the little fort at Aguilitee in the Abruzzi against a rising of tee hostile peaeantry of the district. The ihrencli were not strong enoug&r to fight their way through the lines of their 'opponents. who outnumbered them 20 to 1, while, as the latter had no guns, the Frenchmen dould let* their position witb confidence. There were, however, left on teWt space lying between the oppeeKea,t forces some dozen or so guns which the beleaguered had not been able to take with them into the fort. An attempt was made by the besiese ers to remove these guns by means off a long rope worked by a capstan pleee- ed in a house a short distance away,. and, though their first endeavors m - suited in fnilure, the French teatime& that the ultimate capture of the :stei- uance wouln seriously jeopardize the chances of the fort holding ,out. The necessity of spiking the gams was apparent, but a sortie in the tat)* of the overwhelming musketry are' o11 the insurgents was out of the question - At this juncture an idea occurred to an artillery officer.
