Frank De Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text: Exo- dus adv., 15, "Speak unto the and - ren of Israel that they go forward." The divine command given to the children of Israel "that they go for- ward" is applicable to the children of God at the present time. I be- lieve we are at a crisis in the world's history. In 1590 my fath- er preached a sermon entitled "Last, Decade of the Century." By it 110 tried to show how easily the world could be brought to Christ within ten years if every Christian would annually bring only one soul to Olnist and these new converts in turn would also individually bring one soul to Christ every following year. But to -day 1 want to show that the world can be brought to Christ oven in less time than that if the Christian church Will only real- fre its full opportunity and grasp It. I want to Ei/lOW ill1S because I believe all the grad; preliminary battles . have limn fought and won which vire necessary for this final triumph. As Coricord and Lexing- ton and Bunker Dill and Princeton OILE1 Saratoga had to precede the Yorktown surrender, so I would trace the great onward movements of the human race to show how we SVC fast approathing the golden . milestone where the world can be redeemed from sin. Then I would try, to show how tho Anglo-Saxon race, as a human agency, can take the chief part in this gladsome and worldwide triumph if we will only move forward in 8 od 'a name. INTOLERANCE OVORTIIROWN. The great battle for the world's redemption was fought and won when the frowning walls of religious intolerance were battered down and the torture dungeons of the dark ages wore forever opened to the purifying light. Ah, the battlefor religious liberty was a. long and a bitter struggle! It was not won in a day, decade, a generation or a century. It fought its way through the flying stones and the bloody swords and the spears and the mar- tyrdoms of Christians of apostolic tittles. The fight for emancipation went on among the crackling flames of burning Rome. It clutcGd by their throats the man eating mon- sters that leaped into the Roman Coln:mail, It defiecl the loweling looks and the blasphemous oaths of the mobs that gathered In the Illor- entine square of beautiful Italy to see Savonarola die. It suffered all the agonies which Pox recorded in his "History of the Lives and Suf- ferings and Triumphant Deaths of tho Primitive as Well as the Protest- ant Martyrs," steeled the back- bone of Hon hearted Martin Luther ns well as of John Huss. It fought its battle until at last the opened 13ible was placed in the hand of the 101111710/1 people and 'every rrian was free to worship God according to the dictates of ,his consnence, whe- ther in the Christian church, the .Jewish temple or the Mohammedan mosque. The Bible is full of the gospel in- vitations "to come." "COMO, (Or all things are now ready. Come, come, comel" 13ut upon no page of the Bible can you find anywhere tho words written: "Coine to Moist against your will 3" "Como With hate in your heart!" "Como With defying sin on your lips!" "Come as a 'trembling inuedever is led to the icaffold'or to incarceration for Wet" Thus WO find that the second great onwerd movement for the world's redemption Was taken when bigotry's swarthy limbs. were Man- • noted, when the., hissing tongue of persecution: was stilled, tied' wlien re- ligious, liberty .could 1812 up her sinning face toward the heavens end stretch forth her white hands to lead, as well as to protect, a, free human race. But from a spiritual standpoint why do we say that a great battle was W011 because commercialism has brought all the world into sympa- thetic touch? I tho crible sunken under the seas, the telegraphic wires strung overhead, the railroad lines brieging New York and San Iran - cisco into closer corrithunication than were once New York and Geovgia, and -the great etennitioat lines turning all oceans into ferries —are any of these to have anything to do with the advent of the millen- nial dawn? Is that wonderful in- vention of Johannes Gutenberg call- ed printing, the outgrowth of which is the modern newspaper preset to linve no part in the world's redemp- tion? Oh, yes, The Bible does not say that the world sball grow grad- nally better and better, but it does gay that enact the "gospel of the kingdom shall be preachea in all the World for a witness unto all nae, tithe then shall the end come," And hall can that gapel be preached gather to all people than through the medium of the telegraph and telephone reicl railroad train end passenger steamboat linee anti freight beats? When the revielee of the New Testament was completed some years ago Was not the book telegraphed verbatim in one night from New York to Chicago? And can We note through the conquest of O merceintry commercialism, scat- ter peactitally in the twinkling of an eye the gospel of Jesus Ohriet to the farthermost parts of the earth, So timet whole natiotS shall Ine born hi a day?

So, to -day, most of the civ- ilized rates are ready to confess that the strength of the mightiest earth- ly governments is centered in tho word of Cod, Where tho 1311)10 is not, there are superstition and ig- normice and brutalizing crime. Thus litany preliminary battles have already been fought and won. Now collies the practical question, What raeo of people is going to start forth to lead in the last great • battle, width is to be fought for the I redemption of the world for Christ? lias Jesus a right to look with hope toward any people niore confidently than to tho' Anglo-Saxon race 7 From what race came the crusaders, Godfrey and Frederick Barnimossa and Bald- win of Flanders and Richard the Lion Hearted and Frederick II. ? From what race came the pilgrim fathers, who crossed the seas im- bued with many noble ambitions, the chief of which was to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far - thorniest ends of the earth ? Among the Marts of what people was the great foreign missionary cause first born ? Who to -day aro striving most of all to civilize and Christian- ize the world at large ? Is it not the members dr the Anglo-Saxon race ? Aro there any people who can be more justly called a Christian People than the Anglo-Saxohs ? D0111NANT ANGLO-SAXON.

But when the generals gave the command "Fire !" and "Charget not one gun spoke, net one soldiei moved, Then the generals began to inquire the cause. They fourtd out the reason. The strange being who the night before went from camp to camp was Jesus Christ, The badge which was pinned upon every sol- dier's breast was the sign of the croes. Jesus had at last conquered, Tho -sign of forgiveness and of lova and paraon and sinlessness had at last spiked the guns of war and turned every soldier into an °mis- 5:0:51 of peace. There is only rine way I would change that wonderful dream of the gospel writer. In the last great Matte of sinful war I would not have the members of the Angio -Saxon race participants. The might before the battle was to open I would have Jesus Christ go through the camp of the Slav, the Malay and all the peoples of the earth, led by a white slcinned guide. That guide 1 would have the ruddY, flaxen Indeed Caucasian, the guide whom I would call the Anglo-Saxon race. 011, my brother and sister, by the consecration of your lives and prayers will you not help make this scene possible ?

By skillful handling' this meat - earl be changed from the peorest 1 part of rump steak to the best of the round because of the different - way in. cutting. The edgeboile is thus left weighing almitt one pound, or a little worm on the top of the round. From its ' pannier Man the steak does not • slice nicely if the bone itself is simply cut out, for the round is then left taggernin appearance. Therefore O good amount of the (Meet of round steak is cut off with the edge - bone in order to secure good slicing and a }minim/me first cut of round steak. Now it is plain that the bone weighs a. given amount and the re. maincler is really fine steak, so it you aro economical you order the edgebone cut to weigh four to six pounds, or even more if the market - man is willing, without greatly in - creating the price per pound, and presto ! there is your round stealc and your roast and your soup bone all bought at once, Of course, the heavier tho edgebone in cut the more stealc you have and your butcher must charge a higher price for the heavy cut than if merely the bone itself and a very little meat were includedYou will find either very great economy or no particular gain in buying an edgebone, according to I the keenness of The butcher, the 'Judgment of the buyer and the de - !Mends of the trude. No rule 'can be given, but to those who do not in- sist on largo slices and perfect form In their steaks, it is usaally a de- cided economy to buy a cut weigh- ing about five to six pounds or a. little more. With round steak at fifteen cents per pound, a six -pound edgebono ought to be bought for about seven or eight cents per pound. It should contain about tWO pounds of excel- lent Mit not perfect slicing' steak, anatit two mid a half pounds of fine roantiog beef, and lessthan one and a hall pounds of biano and a sur- plus tallow. The bone is, next to EL shin bone, the hest for soup. The cost will be *12 to 48 cents • •for thirty cents worth of steak arid thirty or mote cents' worth of roast while a little soup mnterial will be left costing nothing. Not all markettnen will allow so good a bargain, but the prices given are coinmonly secured by good buy- ers, The stealc should be counted as of oven higher value than was stated as it is the best part of the round. But when you buy an oclgebone cut to weigh four pounds, for five cents! per pound, and about one cent per pound for each added pound, you have the acme of economy in a seven . or eight pound cut.

This is the NVEly that it should be, but it is often not so, because after we receive Christ the flesh, or old man, le still in us, and inetead of being reckoned dead, pkt off, denied, it is yielded to, indulged, pampered, and thus the Spirit is grieved and God tlishonored. We are taught in these verses that the old sinful nature never can be improved, never can be subject to the law of God, but when we receive Christ we reeeive a new nature, a, divine na- ture, are born from above, mid we must let Christ have full control. 10, 11. But it the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in .you Ile that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortaa bodies by Ilis Spirit that dwelleth in you.

The cigar held steadily and nor- izontally Indicates a callous, calcul- ating nature, strong traits, but poor principles, the sort of man who could be brutal with indifference should occasion arise. Men who lot their cigar go out and then try to relight it, also those who after smoking for a while let the cigar go out and then throw it awaY, are • likely to be irrational and without the capacity to put their powers to use. Men of quick, vivacious temper hardly touoh the tip 'of their cigar with their teeth and after taking two or three whitts will remone it and hold it in their band in absent- mdnded fashion. They are men who change their opinions and ambitions often and require the spur of novel- ty or necessity to make them EXERT THEIR, BEST POWERS. The man who, after lighting his cigar, holds it not only between teeth and lips, but with two, three or four lingers of his left hand is fas- tidious and possessed of much per- sonal pride. Such a smoker will often remove the cigar and examine the lighted end to see if it is burn- ing evenly and steadily, Stroh ac- tions indicate carefulness, sagacity and a character worthy of coeAdence and esteem. The smoker who sends forth smoke from both corners of the mouth in two divergent puffs is crotehety and hard to get along with, though he may have good me-ntal qualities. The spendthrift, sometimes the ad- venturer, is declared by the act of biting off the end of a cigar. Lack of judgment, dislike to pay debts and not over -niceness of hnbits are declared by this practice. The pipe smoker who grips his pipe so firmly between his teeth that marks are left on the mouthpiece is mettlesome, of quick, nervous tem- per and likes to be tenacious of his opinions one way or another.
