MYST1.R1ES OF TFIR GOSPEL.
There are two purposes for this
sermon. The first is to talk about
some of the great mystelies of the
gospel. I would show you that
about every church altar there are
:great Appalachian ranges, great
towering mountain peaks of myster-
ies. So high they are that the
mind of man cannot attain to them,
yet each ars Ihe mark of divine
certitude, the mark of the cross is
stamped upon them as the Mount
of the Holy Cross in Colorado bears
the sign of the cross. To this sign
we bow •and believe, even though we
cannot understand. 'Peter could not
understand; John of the Apocalypse
could not tuaderstand, and Pe.ul, be-
holdiug them, extlaimed, "Great is
the mystery of godliness !" What
those mighty iutellests could not
grasp must be a .thystery to us until
it is fully explailied beyond the
grave.
The Eocene' purpose of the sermon
is ti e practical side. It is to re-
mise' you that, though we now
"now only in part," that part is
sufficient for ell the great purposes
of salvation and iedemption. It is
to prove, as E. H. Chapla puts it,
that "although we see through a
glass 'darkly, we do see something"
and that "something" is sufficient if
we welcome it as a gospel handmaid
to lead us into perfeet peace and to 1
lead us to that throne of God, where i
each can say, "I shall Lnow even as I
also I am, known."
The mystery of the Trinity: How
can there be three persona and one
Godhead? "Three in One and One
in Three ?" That is an inexplaiee ,
able mystery. "You must be -very!
careful," wrote a dear ministerial .
blend to me when I was preaching a.
series of sermons upon the Holy':
Spirit. "You must be very careful
not to convey the -false idea, to your
people that there are three distinct
and soparate ti ." It
is a mystery to be reverently ac-
cepted beyond the pewee of the hu-
man mind to understand, and that it
should be se is. not strange, for God
himself has declared., "As the heav-
ens are higher than the earth, so are '
iny ways higher than your ways and .
my thoughts than your thoughts."
We cannot explain the personality of ,
God any mere than you can tell why
the grass grows or the sun shines.
But we do feel and know that, like
the grass and the light, the leinety
of the God -head is a great divine
fact. And, furthermore, we do fee),,
cad know that as God. the Fatliel:
Hem so Christ was born into this
world not only to save us from eine,
but also to prove that God the ,
°teeter is a God of love, lgyetery,
mystery, mystery 1 A high, "deep,
impenetrable and overpowering mys-
tery. 1 Yet the mystery .of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a
fact revealed to us,• to be accepted
by faith and brining, to all who so
receive it: a Message of joy . and •
Peace,
MYSTERY OF T.FUEI TRINITY.

The conflicting, doctrines of God's
omnipotence. and man's tree. agency
cue an inexplainazn
ble yetery. Yes,
we know teat God is infinitely' great-
- er than, man. We know that the

great unfathomable mystery ! Witl
God the Omnipotent I am still man,

A DIFFICULT TASK.
The harmonizing , of the two doc-
trines—Cod's omnipotence and man's
free agency—is a task that many
, have attempted in vain. But it is a
. glorious inestery that should make
of believers of the different .Iiotest-
ant churches brothers and sisters at
!the foot of the cross. 'Therefore, my
Chrietian brother. if you are living
in a small country town do not
make the mistake of trying to run
in that village five or six different
churches when there are only enough
inhabitants to support one. Do not
try to run a Congregational church
and a Methodist church and a Luth-
eran church and a Baptist church
and an Episcopalian church and a
United Presbyterian church. Do not
keep on continually talking about
"my church." All Christian church-
es ougbt to belong to yen and you
to them. The direrence of Protest-
ant creeds is merely that of 'extra
emphasis upon some one of • God's
great attributes. Remember here-
after that you ought to • be able to
worship Cod just as devoutly and
earnestly before' a Methodist altar as
at an Episcopalian chancel or as in
,a Presbyterian. pew. God has many
gospel sheepfoids. These sheep are
'all fed by the state Divine Shepherd,
although at times they are Separat-
ed froin each other by the sectarian
:fences built by man's creed and by
!infinite ignorance. "Other sheep
Shave. I which are not of this fold"
applies as much to the Protestant
church across the street as to your
own chapel.
NEED Or CHRIST'S LOVE.
We cannot explain why sin was eY-
er allowed to come into the world.
but after we accept its advent as a
fact, then the cross, on account . of
our eternal danger, can become our
all in all. With the sainted Gott -
hold we ma.y say before the flaming
fires of eternal death: "For my own
part my soul is like a hungry and
thirsty child, • and I need Christ's
love and consolation for my refresh-
ment. ant •a wandering and lost
sheep, and I need him as a gond
and faithful shepherd. My soul is
like a frightened dove iiiirsued by a
hawk, and I need his .wounds for a.
refuge. am a feeble vire, and

and I need his righteousness: I am
naked anh bare, and I need his holi-
ness and innocence for a covering. I
am in trouble and alar.m, and I need
his solace. Sirctple and foolish am I,
and need the guidance of his Holy
Spirit. • Am I arraigned by Satan

must be nay helper. • Am I persecuted

into the world? We eatinot under -1
Seenci it. • But after we have accept -1
ed the 'fact that a good God has al- •
lowed sin to come into the world for ,
a purpose, then, on account of the ,
eternal, danger threatening us, we

NEW BULLETPROOF CLOTH.
--
Wonderful Things Related of -an
Italian Invention.
The world. is at present intensely
interested in a new Italian bullet-
proof cloth, and since the Italian
• Government is negotiating for • its
use it is of importance that we see
• just what the results are, although
it is necessary to state that the in-
vention remains a secret, and this
notwithstanding attempts to discover
its deteils. Thus we shall have to
deal with a general description and
with the results. of experiments.
The armor is. a sort of felt, the
stuff being capable of adaptation to
any form whatever; for example, • a
breast plate with a collar of -a sort
of coat which completely envelops the
wearer ind absolutely guarantees him
from. gunshot eyoun.ds. The thickness
of t
he protector varies from one-six-
t1eentli to seven -sixteenths of an inch,
accerding. to the aim the .effects of
which it is designed to destroy.
Ageinst the armor of seven -sixteenths
of au inch the regular ordnance re-
volver with steel covered ball is pow-
erless, and also the gun of the 1891
model charged with smokeless pow -
• In the numerous experimeats
• which have been nia.de—in. firing at a,
distance of several yards—the ball,
whether it be of lead or steel, when
it strikes the protector is arrested
and deformed, in some cases rebound-
ing and in others being almost •reduc-
ed to a pulp. Thus there is not only
an arrest of the ball, but 'deforma-
tion as well, and in this deforxnation
the • force of the ball is converted.
WhLIe there should be a high degree
,of temperature at the point touchd.
e
by the ball, it seems that the ball
;alone feels the effects, for the protec-
tor does not seem to be burnt in
the slightest.
• These results are not limited to
ballistic: effects, for in the recent ex-
periments it was sought to pierce the
armor with a dagger driven with all
possible force. The point of the arm,
however, could not penetrate the felt
and was bent into a shapeless mass.
It is natural to suppose that the
foece bf the hall would be communi-
cated to the armour and, that this
woeld be driven violently backward,
resulting in a disagreeable shock and
one which at times Would be danger-
ous to the wearer. To demonstrate
tha incorrectnese of this view Signor
Bendetti attached his protector to a
boreci and fired upon" the animal only

volver, the ball faIhng at the feet of
the horse while, he freed from his
halter, walked away as if nothing

with the same revolver ei piece of
steel had been previously pierced, The
same experiment was made. With a,

mediately preceded by His wonderful
