While I was in Marie I liked for a while the ram and ex- quisite cookery; but I soon wished I was home again, and had the plain fare of my native land. So it is afoot that we soon weary of the syrups, and the custards, and the whipped foam of fanciful religionists, and we cry, "Give us plain bread needs out of the old,corn of the Gospel Canaan." That is the only food that can quell the soul's hunger. was because the Israelites had arrived in Canaan, and they smelled the breath of the harvest fields, and the crowded barns of the country were thrown op- en to them. All the iehtlbitants had fled, and in the name Of the Lord of Hosts Lha Israelites took possession of everything. Well, the threshing -floor Is cleared, the corn is scattered over It, the oxen are brought round in lazy and perpetual circuit until the corn is trampled loose; then it is winnowed with a fan, and 1t is; ground, and it is baked, and lot there is enough bread for all the worn -cul host: "And the s Manan ceased on the morrow after they hadeaten of the old corn al the land." The bisection of this subject leads me, ant, to speak of especial relief for especial emergency; and, secondly of the old earn of the Gospel for ordinary circumstances. If these Israelites crossing the wild- erness had not received bread from the heavenly bakeries, there would first have been a long line of dead children half buried in the 'sand. What use, was it Lo them that there was pleniy of .corn in Canaan, or plenty et corn in .11gypt ? What they wanted was some- thing to eat right there, where there was not so' mule as a grass -blade. In other words, an especial supply for an especial emergency. This is what some of you want. The ordinary acne - fort, the ordinary direction, the ordin- ate, counsel, do not seem to meet' your. 0114e. '.there are those who feel that they must have an omnipotent and im- mediate supply, and you shall have it. Is it pain and physical distress through which you must go? Does not Jesus know all about pain? .Old He not suffer it in: the most sensitive part of head, and band, and foot ? Ile has a mixture of comfort, one drop of which shall cure the worst paroxysm. It is the same grace that soothed Robert Hall when, after writhing on the car - pot in physical tortures, he cried out: " Oh, I suffered terribly, but I didn't cry out while I was suffering, did I? Did I o.ry out?" There is no such nurse as Jesus -His bend the gentlest, his foot the lightest, His arm the strong- est. roe especial pang, especial halp. Is it: approaching sorrow?

The infidel scientists of this day are offering us a. different kind of soul food; but they are, of all men, the most miserable. I have known many of them; but 1 never knew one of them who came with a thous- and mites of being hn.ppy. The' great John Stewart Mill provided for himself a new kind of porridge, but yet, when he comes to die, he acknowledges that his philosophy never gave 1110. any comfort in days of bereavement, and 1n 11: roundabout way he admits that his life was a failure. fee i Ls with all infidel scientists. They are trying to live on telesoopss, and crucibles, and protoplasms, and they charge us with cant, not .realising that there is no such intolerable can't in all the world as this perpetual talk we are hearing about "positive philosophy," and "the absolute," and. "the great -to -be," and "the everlasting no," and "the higher unity," and "Aho latent potentiali- ties," end The cathedral of the tm- mensities."

I rode some thirteen miles to see a steamer Lhat was beached near South- ampton, Lung Island. It was a splendid vessel. As I walked up and down the decks, and in the cabins, I said; "What apity that this vessel should go to pieces,. or be lying here !idle." The coast wreckers had spent several thousand pounds trying even to get her off, and succeeded once; but she came back again to the old plaoe,(While I was walking on deck every part of b with the beating vassal trembled w of the surf on one sine, Since then I heard that that vessel, whish was worth fifty thousand pounds, had been sold for seven hundred pounds, and is tolbo knocked to pieces.

You have often seen a wheel with spokes of different colours, and when the wheel was rapidly turned all the colors blended into a rainbow 01 ex- quisite beauty. 1 WW1 I could, this Morning, take the peace, and the life, and the joy, and glory of Christ, and turn them before your soul with such speed and strength' that you would be enchanted with the revolting splend- ours of: that name which is above every name -the name written one0 with tears of exile and in blood of martyr- dom, but written now its burnished clown, and lifted sceptre, and trans - angelic throne. There is another characteristic about bread; and that is you never get tiled of it. There are people here seventy years of age who find it just as appro- priate for their appetite as they did when, in boyhood, their mother cut a slice of it dear around the loaf. You have not got tired of bread, and that is a characteristic of the Gospel. Old Christian man, are you tired of Jesus? 12 so, let us take His name out of our Bible, and let us with pen and ink erase that name wherever eve see it. Let us east it out of our hymnology, and let "There is a Fountain," tend "Rock of Ages," gn into forgetfulness. Let us tear down the communion table where we celebrate His love. Let us clash clown the baptismal bowl where we were consecrated to Him. Let us hurl Jesus from our heart, and ask some other hero to coma in. Let us say: "Go away, Jesus; I want enoth- e companion, another friend, than Thou art." Could you do it? '1'be years of y0UT past life, aged MOIL would utter a protest against it, and the graves of your Christian dead would charge you with being an in- grate, and our little grandchildren would say: "Grandfather, don't do that. Jesus is the Ono to whom we say our prayers at night, and who is to open hea`ven when we e die? Grandfather don't do that." Tired of Jesus? The Burgundy Tose you pluck from the garden is not so fresh, and fair, land beautiful. Tired of .Jesus? As well get weary of the spring morning, and the voices of the mounLein stream, and the quiet of your, own home, and the gladness of your own children. Jesus is bread. and the appetite for that is never obliterated. I notice, in regard to this article of food. you take it three thine a day, It is on your table morning, noon, and night, and if it is forgotten, you say: "Where is the bread?" Just so cer- tainly you need. Jesus three times a day. Oh, do nob start out without Him; do not dare to go out of the front door; do not dare to go off the front steps, without first having com- muned. with Flim. Before noon there may he perils that will destroy body, mind and soul for ever. You cannot afford to do witiloot Ilam. You will during the day be amid shturp hoofs and swift wheels, and dangerous soaf- foldings threatening the body, and traps for the soul that have taken some W110 are more wily than you. When they shove a vessel front the dry-dock, they break against the side of it a bot- tle of wine. That is a. sort of super- stition among sailors. But oh, on the launching of every day, that we might strike against it at Moat one earnest prayer for Divine protection. That would. not be superstition: that would be Christian, Then at the apex of the day, at the lip -top of the hours, equi- distant from morning and night, look three ways. Look backward to the forenoon ; look ahead to the afternoon; look up to the Saviour who presides over all, You want bread at noon. You. may find no place in which to kneel amid the cotton bales and the tierces of rice ; but if Jonah could find room 1;0 pray in the whale's belly, most certainly you. will never be 1n such a crowded place that you cannot pray. Bread at noon 1 When the evening hour 00m0s, and your head is huzzing with the day's engagements, and your whole nature is sore. from the abrasion of rough life, and you see a great many duties you have negleeted, then com- mune with Christ, asking 1318 pardon, thanking Him for itis love, That w'ouLcll he a geteer evening repast at which there was no bread. This is the nutriment andlife of the plain Gospel that I commend to you. I do not know how Rome of our minis- ters make it so bark:eta, end elabor- ate, and mystifying a thing. T,C seems as if they had a sort of mongrelisni in religion -part humanitari talism, part spiritualism, pari: nnthingarinnistn; and sometimes you think they are building their temple out of the"Reek of Ages," but you find there is no neck in it ill a11, 11 10 stoma. ).

ONE RAILROAD IN THC PHILIP" PINES, 1tnit na 11.3)0* Mown Nel'tIIto tate Port Or Pngiipn It and Is n :1•1,00 41')neh Gauge. The Manila and Dagupan Reilway,the i.in rho Philippine Islands, Is nly runningraiway along smoothly as if pease prevailed throughout the land, says tbo Manila carrespondenl. Ordinarily rail- roads eater 08 much inoonventence and loss in business and damage as any other line of business at times when comparatively small countries are in a state of rebellion. Tills loss le not only because of demoralization in freight business and from common dislnolina- tion of people t0 travel where the exis- tence of social disorder creates an ad- ditional element of risk in travelling on public carriers, hue because of dee- truoLion of railroad property, as smat- ter of proper warfare and military etre- tegy, ashes been the case in Cuba. The Philippine railroad bas been remark- ably fortunate in Lite respect of enjoy- ing immunity from ineonvenienee and violence at the hands of the insur- gents -so fortunate, indeed, as to agree- ably surprise and disappoint the man- agement of that property. The road inc of Sleet 0 -inches gauge, and runs from Manila, w•iChapopula- tion of over 200,000, la an almost north- erly direction, 125 miles, through sever- al large municipalities to Dagupan, a reasonably prosperous seaport of about 80,100 souls. The island of Luzon, of which Manila is the :menet, Das apopu- lation of about 8,500,000, nearly half the entire population of the twenty-one is- lands that form the ilhilipptne group, and with an area of nearly double that of Great Britain. The railroad, as might be expected, runs through the most populous section of Luzon. railroad ad is rivets m erC Wh;lethe lro P 9 P p dEuro sans andowned and minae P g by other than Spaniards, it was thought Lhe insurgents would nevertheless try and prevent its operation, at least spas- modically, inasmuch as it was proving of so great: advantage to the Govern- ment in the efforts to quell the revolt. There has, however, been nu trouble with Lhe road as yet. The forbearance of the rebels has caused no little sur- prise among Spanish officials. The in- surgents derailed a passenger train several months ago. Since that time there has been absolutely no violence. The rebel leaders were very much die - pleased when they learned that some of their subordinates had• molested a train, and at once gave orders that the personal and property rights of foreign- ers other than Spaniards should be re- spected and that this order was intend- ed to apply particularly to the railroad, which they well understood was the property of English capitalists. The fact that the railroad company has not singe 'been subjected to the slightest trouble or inconvenience, while the ira mediate country is involved in very serious and formidable revolution, de- monstrates these facts: 1. 7.lhat the Filippinosare not savages, warring just for the excitement of Lhe thing. 2. That they are a peaceful and easily governed people, and are regarding with respect the wishes of their recognized leaders. S. That they value the good will and sympathy of Europeans who live in the Philippines and will unquestionably see to it that these foreigners are prolected to the fullestpossible osslble ox tent.
