Dr. Talmage preaelaed from the following text ;—"They that turn many to righteoueness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever."—Daniel xii. 3. It would be absurd for me to stand here, and, by elaborate argument, prove, that the world is off the track. You might as well stand at the foot of, an earibauknaent, amid the wreok of a capsized rail -train, proving by elabor- ate argument that something is out of order. Adam tumbled over the em- bankment sixty centuries ago, and the whole race, in one long train, has gone on tieueleling in the eame diree- tion, Crash! crash! The only ques- tion now ie, 13y what leverage can the crushed thing be lifted? 13y what ham- mer may the fragment's be recon- structed? First: We may turn them, by the charm• of a right example. A child, corning from a filthy home, was taught at school, to wash it face. It eveut home so much improved in are pearance that its mother washed her face. And when the father of the household came home, and saw the im- provement in domestic appearance, he washed his face. The neighbours eonaing in, ea,w the change, and tired the same experiment, until all that street was purified, and the next street copied its example, and the whole city felt the result of one school- boy washing his face. That is a fable, by which we set forth that the best way te.get the world washed of its sins aad pollution is to have our own heart and life cleansed and puri- fied. A man with grace in hie heart, and Christian cheerfulness in his face, and holy consistency in his behaviour, a perpetual senmon; and the ser- mon differs from others in that it has but one head and the longer it rune, the better. There are honest men who walk down Wall Street, ranking the teeth of iniquity chatter. ,There are happy men who go into a sick-ropm, and by a look, help the broken bone to knit, and the excited nerves drop to calm beating. They are pure men whoee presence silences the tongue of uncleanness. The mightiest agent of good on earth Ls a consistent Chris- tian. I like the Bible folded between lids of cloth, of calfskin, or of morocco, but I like it better when, in the shape of a man, it goes out into the world— A BIBLE ILLUSTRATED. Courage is beautiful to •read about; but rather wautd f aee a man with all the world against hica confident as though all the world were for him. Patience is beautiful to read about; but rathee would I see a buffeted eoul ealcely waiting for the time of deliverance. Faith is beautiful to rea.ci about; but rather would 1 find a man in the midnight walking straight on as though he saw everything. Oh, how many souls have been turned to God by the charm of a right example! Again: We may turn many to right- eousness by prayei. There is no such detective as prayer, for no one can hide away from it. It pute its hand on the shoulder of a ma.n ten thousan.d miles off. It alights on a shit) mid- Atlantic. The little child cannot under_ stand the law of electricity, or how the telegraphic operator, by touching the instrument here, may dart a message under the isea to another continent: nor can we, with our small intellect, understand how the touch of a Chris- tian's 'prayer shall instantly strike a soul an the other side of the earth. You take ship and go- to some other country, and get there at eleven o'clock in the morning. You tele- graph to New York, and the message gets here at six o'clock the same reertaing. In other words, it seems to arrive here five hours before it start- ed. Like the‘t is prayer, God says, " Before they call. 1 will hear.To overtake a loved one on the road, you may epur up a lathered steed until he • shall outrace the one that brought the news to Ghent; but a prayer shall • catch ii. at one gallop. A boy running away from borne may take the mid- night train from the country village, and reach the sea -port ill time to gain the ship that sails an the mcerrew ; but a mother's prayer will be on the deck to meet him, and in the ham- mock before he ewings into it, and at the capstan before he winds the rope around it, and on the eea, against the eky, as the vessel ploughs an to- ward it. There is a mightiness in prayer. The breath of Elijah's prayer blew all the clouds off the ,sky, and it was dry weather. The breath of Eli- jah's prayer blew all the clouds to- gether, and it was wet weather. Pray - in Daniel's time, Walked the cave as a lion-tarneae It reached up, and toek the sun by its golden bit, and stopped it. We have all yet' to try the full POWER OF PRAYER. The time will come when the Amari - Gan Chureh will pray With its face to- ward the west, and all the prairies Reward God; you are there to an instant to do it. There is a young man in New York to be arrested from going into that gat e of stn; you are there Lnan instant to arrest him.

He has been known as the moist Martial' figure among Earapean sovereigns, with the poesible exeePtion of the' German Emperor. He has kept his body lithe and active by abstemious Living, and is a devotee of the vege- tarian system. He OWTIS palaces in all sections of Italy, and the: expenees of the main- tenance of these takes up two -third of his civil allowanee oP $3,800,000.1 With aLl his faults King Humbert has been most generous.. He not only paidi off the enormous debts of his fiatherg refusing all offe.rs of assistance from the State, but he has been a most charitable monarch as well. CHARITY FOR:THE POOR. His charity in many instaidOes has' been for the direct • welfare of his , poorest subjects. A few months ago he gave $30,000 to organize an anahNe- ance eervice for the rnalarMestricken villages of his kingdom, a sum- that he could ill afford to give, en view a the enormous expense of naaintaining his establishments. Then, too, he cons veated the proiduction and sale a. a/Teeing seven large rivers and num- quinine Linto a Government monopoly, and thus removed it feom the extroe tionate methods of druggists to wit* in reach of the people. Such aets as theee have endeared King Humbert to a very great num- ber of his subjeets. His generosity his kindly bearing toward his subjects, and Inc personal honesty have beets without question. Ktiag Humbert has never been, credited vvith great intellect. It has been charged that at times he ha.i' been too sta.nchly obedient to the con- stitution, and at other times too neg.: leetful orits requirements. THE KING AND THE POPE. Victor Enamanuel wrested. Rome from the Papacy, and the son, Hume hart, has been unrelenting in his at- titude toward the Holy Father, and vice versa. The Vatican has waged unnecessary war upon the Italian State. Humbert fla.tly refu,sed to re-' store to Leo XIII. his ecclesiastical rights, so that the Pape woulcUreign with supreme temporal power irs Rome. The differences between the Papacy and the Italian Government have been a source of great grievance to relatives of the royal family. Prine cess Clothilde, the king's sister, even refused to cross the threshold of the Quirinal when she went to Roane to the deathbechof her hies -band. And for similar reasons many mon- archs of Europe have refused to re-:, turn visits paid to therm by 17-41er Humbert and Queen Marguerite:1P' • NOT A CREATIVE KING. - It cannot be said that Humbert has beeoa a creative or a masterful rut., er: While fbaly has enjoyed freedom from wars, the country has not grown' en strength during Humbert's reign - extraordinary enough to stamp him as a most extraordinary. man."

One of the most famous long-distance rides in history was that of King Charles XII., of Sweden, who, in 1714, rade from Demotica, in Turkey, to Stralsund, in Sweden, a distance of 1,300 mile,s, in a fortnight. he present South African records were eclipsed as long ago as 1842, when Dick King, a British dispatch rider, covered the 600 nai_le,e from Port Natal to Grahamstown in niiie days, see, the deaf hear, the lame •walk, the dumb sing and the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick (Isa. XXXI', 5, 6; XXXiii, 24). - 2, 3. It is a common thought with many, even to this day, that any and ev- ery affliction must be the result of some sin; but our'Iaord says not so; rather, He says that the blind, deaf, dumb and sick give opportunity to make manifest the works of God. Allowing that there would Ilene been no sickness and no suf- fering had there been no ein, and that sin is the work of the devil and that Je- sus came to destroy the works of the dev- il (1 John iii, 8; Acts x, 38), every work. of the devil gives the Lord the oppor- tunity to destroy it. In due time He vvill destroy all enemies, even death itself, as well as him who has the power of it (1 Cor. xv, 26; Hab. ii, 14). . 4, 5. It was a stronger comfort to the Lord Jesus that the Father sent Him (John vii, 16, 18,28, 29, 33; viii, 16, 18, 26, 29, 42, etc.). He came as the light of the world to work the works of God: Now that He has returued to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit with a special commission, all His redeemed are in the world as the light of the world that God may now work His works through them (Math. v, 14, 16; Phil. ii, 13). His own words to the Father in prayer were, "As Thou hast sent Me Into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world," and after His resurrection He said to His disciples, "As My 'Father hath sent Me, even so send I 'you" (Jolan xvii, 18; xx, 21). 6, 7. There are blind people every- where, blinded by the god 'of this world (II Cor. iv. 3, 4). The Lord Jesus is still opening blind eyes, and He often uses clay to do it. We are the clay, He is the potter, and we are in His hand as the clay in the hand of the potter (Isa. lxiv, 8; ,Ter. xviii, 6). We are His workman- ship (lhph. ii, 10) even as that piece of clay was, and He will apply us to some blind eyes to open them if we are as passive in His hands a, that piece of clay; but we must be content to be used and weshed off into Siloam that Lie may be glorified. He rejoices to be sent of God, as we have been, and the clay was washed off in Siloam, which means "sent," and is suggestive of Himself. 8-11. The contrast between the poor blind beggar and the man walking about with his eyes open was so great that those who formerly knew hina did not recognize him, and some could hardly believe him to be the seine person. His own testimony was Clear and convincing. "I am the man who was blind, and a man called Jesus put clay on ray eyes and sent me to wash it off in Siloam, and I went and washed, and I received sight." If there was as marked contrast between the new life and the old in every child ge God, how God would be 'glorified! And certainly God desires it to be according to II Cor. iv, 11; f, 15, 17, and He would make it so if we were only willing. 12. "Then said they unto him, Where I e He? He said, I know not." He had never seen Him and knew not whither He went after He had put the clay upon his eyes and sent him to Siloam. When Jesus found him., after the Pharisees liad cast him out, and said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? he did not know who was speaking to him, but said, Who is he, Lord, that I might be- lieve on him? Then for the first time he saw, and knew that he saws his Lord, his healer, and he believed on Him •and wor- shiped (verses 35-88). 13. "They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind." The Pharisees still live and have much to say; they are very religious, but it is all outward to be seen of men (Math. xxiii, 5), yet they are often rulers and leaders in religious matters. When any one has special blessings from the Lord or has learned to know Him intimately for their own or others' good, the Pharisees are apt to have something to say. g 14: "And it was the Sabbath day when Jegus made the clay and opened his eyes!' The impotent man at the pool I3ethesda was also healed on theSabbittla day, and for thus bres.king their Sabbath the Jews sought to kill Jesus (John v, 9, 16). They had perverted the Lord's feasts and ordinances, and .by their tra- ditions set up those of their ovrn, accord- ing to their own thoughts, making the word of God of none effect (Math. xv, 8, 6, 0). Although Jesus had told them more than once who He was and Whence He was, yet they insist upon saying, As for this fellow we keow not from whence He is (verse 29), and also say, This man is not of God, because He keepeth not the Sabbath day. 15. "He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed and do see." This is the rna,n's answer to the Pharisees when they 111.1e.f.1 how he had rddeived his sight. He is a good witness; he always tells the same etory. He is also a bold vvitness (verses i30-83) and is privileged to be reviled for It (verse 28). Ile is very strong upon one great point, "One thing I know, that whereas I was blind. now I see" (verse 25). He had received his natural sight, and he knew it, and no one could make him doubt that. He soon after received his spiritual sight and acknowledged Je- sus as the Son of God. 10, 17. "He Is a prophet." As the Pharisees disputed abotet Christ and were divided in their opinions, they asked the inan who had been blind what he had to say of Him, and this was his answer, etc., having been despatched.

Its Blessings Realized Only by Those Who Have Lived Without It. " In looking over a trunk full of old trtick the other day," said the middle-aged man, "I came across a lot of old shirts withi the buttons sewed on, and as I looked at them I realized anew what the collar button _means -to humanity. There have been greater inventions, surely, but not many that have conferred a more un- mixed blessing on mankind. The younger person of to -day, accustomed to the collar button always, cannot realize what it was to be without it. He can never know what it was to have shirts with the buttons sewed on, —or not, as the, case might be. Not so very many years ago, when the col- lar button was yet comparatively new before persons had come to keep, as everybody commonly does now, a lot of buttons on hand, the man who had lost his collar button thought himself entitled to dee eyrapathy of his fel- lows; but wrung as hsa. might_ be by that loss be could not even guess at the anguish tha t in the sewed -on but- ton days flied the heart Of the man who, when he came to put on his last clean shirt, found that key button, the one on the collar band, most- im- portant one 'of all, gone entirely or only just hanging by a thread! 1 knew a man once who had this happen to him aneldhe didn't sweal'elhat was the only great till/1g, he ever'did; but I have always thought that that alone —TO STUDY THE OCEAN. to his subjects, but has not been they' author of great works of development.
