-Bait there is a more marked •illus-

life o our Joshua, the Jesus of the
ages. First falling back from an
appal ing depth, falling from celestial
hills to terrestrial yafleys, from
thron to manger; yet that did not
seem to suffice him as a retreat.
Falling back still farther from Beth-
lehem to Nazareth, from Nazareth to
Jerusalem, back from Jerusalem to
Golgotha, back from Golgotha to the
mausoleum in the 'rock, back down
over the .precipices of perdition un- -

not measure half the distance! It
was from glory to perdition. He
descended into hell. All the records
of earthly retreat are as nothing
they had been, defeated, but now they
are going to !take it by ambuscade.
General Joshua has two divisions in
Iris army. The one division the bat-
tle worn col:inlander will lead him-
self, the other division he sends off
to encamp, in an ambush on the west
aide of the city of Ai. No torches,
no lanterns, no sound of heavy bat-
talions, but 30,000 swarthy war-
riors moving in silence, speaking
only in a Whisper; no clicking of
swords against shields; lest the
watchman of At discover it and the
stratagem be a failure: If the rois-
tering soldier in the Israelitish army
forgets himself, all along the line the
word is "Hush!"
Joshua takes the other division,
the one with which he is to march,
s],and puts it on the north side of the'
-city of _Ai and then spends the night
in reconnoitering in the valley. There
he stands in the alight and says to
himself: "Yonder is the division in
ambush on the west side of Ai. Here
is the division I have under my es-
pecial command on the north side of
Ai. There is the old city slu ber-
ing hi its sin. To -morrow wi I be
the e battle," Look! The m rning
alreipaly begins to tip the hills. The
military officers of Ai look out in the
moaning very early and, while they
do not, see -the division in ambush,
they behold the o her divisions of
Joshua, and the cry "To arms! To
arms!" rings, through all the streets
of the old town, and every sword,
bent or newly

thr4lgh the gates,

make quick work with Joshua and
his troops!"
No sooner ,had these peeple of Ai
come out against the troops of Jos-
hua than Joshua gave such a com-
mand as he seldom gave .-"Fall
back!" Why, they could not be-
lieve their cai'vn ears! Is Joshua's
courage failing him? The retreat is
beatln, anq the Israelites are flying,
throwing bla ets and canteens on
every side under this worse than

Call over the roll of bad men who
prospered and see how short was
their prosperity. For awhile, like
the men of Ai, they went from cone

disaster rolled back upon them, and
they were divided into three parts!.

troops know that they are to start

with a spear en which were ordinari-

lieve God would strike me dead. if I
dared to point the spear in any other
direction. Oh, for some of the Our
-
age and enthusiasm of Joshua! IHe
flung two armies from the tip of that
spear. It is sinful for us to rest un-
less it is to get stronger muscle and
fresher brain and purer heart for
God's work. I feel on my head the
hands of Christ in a new ordination.
Do you not feel the same omnipotent
pressure? There is a work for alslidoef

the city! It ought to be tak n. It
will be taken.
It is comparatively eaey to keep on
a parade amid a shower of bouquete
and hand clappinge and the whole
street full of enthusiastic huzzas, but
it is not so easy to stand up in the
day of- battle, the face blackened
with smoke, the uniform covered
with the earth plowed up by whiz-
zing bullets and bursting shells, hal/
the regiment cut to pieces, and yet
the commander ;crying "Forward,
march!" Then it requires old fash-
ioned valor, Myfriends, the great
trouble of the kingdom of God in
this day is the, cowards. They do
splendidly on a parade day and at
communion, when they have on their
best clothes of \Christian profession,
but in the great battle of life, at the
first sharpshooting of skepticism,
they dodge, they fall back, they
break ranks. We confront the enemy,
wo open the battle against fraud,
and, lo, we find on our side a great '
many people that do not try to pay
their debts. And we open the battle
against intemperance, and we find
on our own side a great many peo-
ple who drink too mueh. And we
open the battle against profanity, and
we find on our side a great many
men who make hard speeches. And
we open the battle against infidelity,.
and, lo, we find on our own side a
great many men who are not quite
sure about the book of Jonah. And
while we ought to be massing our
troops and bringing forth more than
the united courage of Austerlitz and
Waterloo and Gettysburg we laa,ve to
be spending our time in hunting up

M the Lord's army who would like
to go out on a campaign with satin
slippers and holding umbrellas over
their heads to keep off the heavy dew
and having ratiOns of cativasbacii
ducks and lemon tustards. If they
ii
cannot have them, they want to go
home. They think it is unhealthy
among so many b nets!
I believe that th next year will be
the most stupendo s year that heav-
en ever saw. The nations are quak-
ing now with the coining of Go
It will be a year of successes for th
men of Joshua, but of doom for th
men of Ai. You put your ear to th
rail track, and you hear the train
coming 'miles away. So I put my
ear to the ground, and I hear the
thundering on of the lightning train
of God's mercies and judgments. The
mercy of God is first to be tried u
en this nation. It will be preachel
in the pulpits. Year of mercies an
of judgments; year of invitation an
of warning; year of jubilee and of
WOO. Which side are you going to
be on—with the men of Al or the
mea of Joshua? Pass over -this; Sab-
ba,fh into the ranks of Israel. I
would clap my hands at the joy of
your coming. You will have a poo
chance for this world and the world
to some without Jesus. You cannot
stand what is to come upon you and
upon the world unless you have the
pardon and the comfort and help of
Christ. Come over! On this side
are your happiness and safety; on the
ether side are disquietude and des-
pair. Eternal defeat to the men of
Al! Eternal victory to the men of
Joshua! ,

Stronger Than Steel.
It is difficult to realize that so fra-
gile -looking a concern; as a spider's
web is proportionately one of the
strongeet things in eXistence. The
ordinary spider's threa,d would sup-
port without breaking' a weight ef
three grains. '
Now, a bar of steel one inch in di-
ameter will; sustain fifty tons. If
you take the diameter of a spider's
thread, and calculate what weight
the same thread an inch in diameter
would support, the conclusion we ar-
rived at is no less than eeventy-four
tons, which means that the strength
of the seemingly feeble thread is, as
near as possible as much as one and
a half times that of the steel.

TIDAL WAVES.
Something About These Marvelous
Uplifting's of the Sea Bosom.
What of the tidal ware, that mysteri-
ous, indispensable swelling of the waters
that, following the "pull" of the mo n,
rolls round this globe of ours twice in
each 24 hours, stemming the outflow of
mighty rivers, penetrating far inl nd
wherever access is available and do ng
within its short lease of life an amo nt
of beneficent work freely that wouldbeg-
gar the wealthiest monarchy of the w rld
to Undertake if it must needs be p id
for? Mysterious it may well be cal ed,
since, though its passage from zone to
zone be J30 swift, it is like all other waves,
but an undulatory movement of that por-
tion of the sea momentarily influenced by
the suasion of the planet—not, as is vul-
garly supposed, the same mass of water
vehemently carried onward for thousands
of milete
To meta tidal wave at sea is in some
partirof the world a grim and uniergeta-
ble ?experience. Floating upon the shin-
ing blue plain, with an indolent swelling
of the surface, just giving a cozy roll to
your ship now and then, you suddenly
see in the distance a ridge, a knoll Qf wa-
ter that advances, vast, silent, menacing.
Nearer and nearer it comes, rearing its
apparently. endleas curve higher and high-

She behaves in accordance with the vay
she ti been caught and her innate no -
cull. ties. In any ease, whatever her
bulk, she is hurled forward, upwlird,
backward, downward, as if never again
could kshe regain an even keel. while her
crew cling desperately to whatever hold-
ing place they may have reached.
Some will have it that these marvelotis
upliftings of the sea bosom are not tidal
wares at all—that they do not belong to
the normal etbb and flow of the ocean
dint owns th, sway of the moon; if so,
they would bp met with more frequently
than they are: at sea, and far more disas-
ters would plac.ed to their Account.
This contention seems reasonable, be-
cause it is wAii known that lonely islets,
such as St. Helena, Tristan d'Acunlia
and Aseencion are visited at irregular in-
tvrvers by a succession of appalling
waves (rollers) that deal havoc among
the smaller shipping and look as if they
%voids' overwhelm the land.. The sugges-
tion is that these stupendous waves are
due to cosmic disturbance, to submarine
earthquakes upheaving the ocean 'bed
and causing so vast a displacement of the
ocean that its, undulations extend for
several thousands of miles.— London
Spectator.
RUSHING INTO THE GRAVE.
rereone Who Make Unnecessary
I -taste Only That They May Die.
"Why will elderly and especially' portly
pet -sons who. have suspected cardiac dis-
arrangeniennt persist, in spite of the nu-
merous examples of sudden death that
are recorded{ almost daily in the papers,
in actually rushing themselves into the
;;rive?" said a well known physician.
'Surgeon General Hammond died after
a hurried run! up stairs, and Herbert
Spencer, though Warned by his physi-
cians that death would follow any undue
exercise, persisted in an effort to vault a
stile, which he fibelly did, only to expir
from heart disease a few hours later: H
might have lived many years.
"I cannot understand why men an
women. of all ages and degrees of heali
%till race after street ears as though ther
lives depended upon catching a particu
lar car w -hen it is common knowledg
that the cars are run on a leeway o
from one to three minutes. It is th
same impelling reason, I presume, tha
will cause a man who is being curie
past his station- to leap from the moving
electric or steam car to certain injury or
death.
'In running the body is entirely thrown
from the ground for an instant with each
stop, and it is the most violent of e'er -

called upon to respond to the unusual and

be ly, after all, is like a cable—as strong
as Its weakest part.
'This is well exemplified in autopsies
up m the bodies of athletes. In many
eases of perfect muscular developm-ent

sulted from other causes this diseased
eondition would soon have produced it.

(twee? Auctions.
A Dutch auction at Cape Town is fre-
quently exciting. If a house is to be
sold, the auctioneer offers "50 golden sov-
ereigns for the man who first bids £5,-
000." Nobody bids. A pause, and then
"Fifty golden sovereigns for the man
who first bids £4,900."
This is kept up until a bid is secured.
But it by no means follows that the
house is sold to this bidder. No, the auc-
tioneer is then at it again. Say that
£4,400 is the first bid. The auctioneer
cries:
"There are 25. golden sovereigns for
the first mita who has the courage to bid
£4,600." Perhaps no one has it. Then
£25 is •ffered for a f4,550 bid. If there
is eventually a° bid above the 4,400, the
man who made that bid is saddled with
the house. Otherwise he peekets his
bonus aid gets off free of it all.
The Only Way,
Two tramps were discussing as to how
they night earn a living. The discussion
became heated, and one turned to the
other exclaiming:
"The only thing you are fit for is for
me to lead you aroand the streets as a
performing =Gilkey tied to a string."
"But," said the ether quietly, "you
would want anotlser man."
"Why?" said the first.
"To point out which end of the string
the monkey was."—Buffale Commercial.
Currants, as most people are aware,
come from Corinth. They are a variety
of the grape family. The currants grown
in America come from north Europe,
Canada and England.
In China the members of a man's fami-
ly, are held responsible for his debts.

NERVOUSNESS
no Disease el thie Fut Age which Destroys
Beady, Health and Happiness.
Nothing so hastens old age as nervous-
ness. Beauty fades, wrinkles and care
lines disfigure the once beautiful face, the
sunny temper becomes soured and irritable;
nights of sleeplessness are followed by days
of worry and, fatigue. The feminine organs
become weal' and irregular. Everything
goes wrong to the victim of nervousness,
for the whole system is under the control of
the nerves.
The usual result of nervousness is par-
alysis or nervous proetration, while to
others it brings insanity or epilepsy. The
waste of nerve force increases at a terrible
rate, until life is clouded by gloom and
despondency.
As a restorative for nervous men, women
and children, Dr. Chase's Nerve /food is un-
rivalled and unapproached. It is a new
wonder of medical' science which builds up
and revitalizes the nerves and puts new life
and energy into every movement oi the
body. It positively cures nervousness in
all its forms in the course of a few months'
treatment.
