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. Of calcul-
ating our days and nights and years

culats them by the numbers of oppor-

with the stream and with the wind

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

°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-

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. The temperanit
decides the styles of temptation, but
sanguine or lymphatic, you will have
temptation. Satan has a grappling
hook just fitted for your soul. A
mien never lives beyond the -reach of
temptation.

ciples did, and tell eesus.
Again, 1 commeed the ,behavior of
the disciples to ail' those who are
abused and to the .slandered and pee -
scented. When Herod put John to
death, the 'disciples knew that their
owit heads were not safe, And -do
'yea that every John has a
Herod?, There are persons in life who
do not wish you very well. Your
miefortunes are honeycombs to them.
Through their teeth they hiss at you,
misinterpret your motives and would
be glad to see you upset. ,
No man 'gets through life without
having a pommeling. 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... Alt those'
who have serVed 'Christ, however emi-
nent, all 'have beee maltreated at.

• who will :live godly in Jesus Christ
must suffer pereeoutiom And 1 set
dowe as the very worst sign' in all
your Christian experience if you are,
eny ofyou, at peace With the world.
The religion of Christ is war. It is
a challenge to "the world, the flesh
and the devil," and if yon will buckle
on the whole armor . of God you will
.find a great host disputing your path
between thee ond heaven.
But ,what are you to do when you
are assaulted and slandered and
abused, tts I suppose nearly all of
you have been in your life? Go otit

tee -tee -total pledge would do." Mr.
Joseph Livesey upon hearing this im-
mediately cried out amid great cheer-
ing, "That shall be the name." The
newly coined word was taken up by
the succeeding speakers and was after-
ward used at all the meetings held in
the town' and neighborhood. It was
soon adopted in every part of Lanca-
shire and was eventually accepted as
the true designation of total abstainers
not only in the United Kingdom, but
throughout the civilized world.

Keep Tour Glove!.
When gloves are taken off the hand,
they must never be rolled into a ball, but
carefully preescd out fiat and laid in a
glove box longer than they are. All holes
must be mended as soon as seen and, but-,
tons replaced. As all gloves get to smell
queerly if worn any length oil time, have
small sachet, of violet powder to lay in-
side each one, and on a fine day hang
them out hi the air and sun. When dirty,
have them cleaned several times before
buying new ones.

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. He remembered bar-
ing noticed, in making an inspection:nit
the magazine, some old plate armee,
and, selecting from the best preserved
12 suits, he determined to try wbethee
they would not afford sufficient preteene
tion for his men to attempt to work eme
der cover of their own guns.
Twelve stalwarts, therefore, ine.rch&l,
out clad in this cumbrous, una,ccustothe
ed accouterment, taking with them the
necessary tools, and succeeded ixi enne
cuting their purpose under a bail a
bullets from the besiegers.

Children's Diet.
Many mothers who have heard mu& a
the beneficial effects. of a vegetable diet
upon children and of the pernicious re-
sults of the overindulgence in meat to the
exclusion font the nursery menu of thte
"kindly fruits of the earth" take it Zee
granted' that all vegetables are good eur
the little ones. This is a great mista.ke.,
Cabbage, for instance, should never 6e,
eaten by a young child, nor should tue-
nips or new potatoes. Onions, if' properle,
prepared, are permissible, perhaps ofteet
advisable, but fried onions are never te
be allowed. Let the mother acquaint her-
self with a list of vegetables in which.. 0
l'ening child may indulge, and then she=
must insist that these be properly pre-
pared.
