A procession was formed to carry the

„feet 9 inches in length, and 4 feet 3 inches

iSod's presence. As the leaders of the

What nettleere?
Se you soo my text is not Ilko a com-
plimentary and tasseled sword that you
sometimes see hung up in a parlor, a
sword that was never in battle and only
to be used on general training day, but
more like some weapon carefully hung up
" in your home, telling its story of battles,
for my text bangs In the Scripture arm-
s. ory, tolling of the holy wars of 3,000
years in which it has been carried, but
i still as keen and mighty as when David
lSrst unsheathed It. It $O0038 to me that
in the rhumb of God, and in all atyles of
;reformatory work, what we most need
now is a battlecry. We raise our little
'standard and put on it the name of some
.man who only a few years ago began to
live and in a few years will cease to live.
We go into conies against the armies of
iniquity, depending too much on human
&gentiles. We rue for a hattloery the name
of some bravo Christian reformer, but
after awhile that reformer dies or gets old
or loses his courage, and then we take
another l+att.locry, and this time perbaps
wo I ut the name of some one who bo-
trays tho cense and sells out to the enemy.
What wo want for a battlecry is the name
of sine leader who will never betray us
and will never surrender, and will never
die
A]1 respect have 1 for bravo men and
women, but if we are to get victory all
along the lino wo must take the hint of
the Gideoaites. who wiped out the Be-
douin Arabs, eommonly called IIidianites.
Those Oideonitcs bad a glorious leader in
Gideon, but what vras the battlecry with
Whioh they flung their enemies into the
worst defeat into which any army was
ever tumbled? It was, "The sword of the
Lord and of Gideon." Put God first,
twhuever von put second. If the army of
the American Revolution is to f.e°
America, it must bo, "The sword of the
Lord and of Washington." If the Ger-
mans want to win the day at Sedan, It
must be, "The sword of the Lord and
iVon Moltke." Waterloo was won for the
English because not only the armed man
at the front, but tho worshipers in the
oathedrals at the rear, wore crying, "The
' Word of the Lord and of Wellington."
God First.
The Methodists have gone is triumph
across nation after nation with the cry,
"The sword of the Lord and of Wesley."
The Presbyterians have gone from victory
to victory with the cry, "Tho sword of
the Lord and of .lohn Knox." The Bap-
tists have conquered millions atter mil-
lions for Christ with the cry, "The sword
of the Lord and of Judson." The Ameri-
can Episcopalians have won their mighty
way with the cry, "The sword of the
Lord and of Biehop M'Ilvaine." The vic-
tory Is to those who nut God first. But,
4 [ as we want a battlecry suited to all sects
iof religionists and to all lands, I nomin-
ate as the battlecry of Christendom in
the approaching Armageddon the words
of my text, sounded before the ark as it
was carried to Mount Zion, "Let God
arise; let his enemies be scattered."
As far as our finite mind can judge, it
seems about time for God to rise. Does
it not seem to you that the abominations
of this earth have gone far enough? Was
there ever a time when sin was so de-
fiant? Were there ever before so many
fists lifted toward God, telling him to
come on if he darn? Look at the blas
pbetny abroad' What towering 'profanity!
Would it be poseinle for any one to cal-
culate the "numbers of times that the
name of the Almighty God and of Jesus
Cheist are every day taken irreverently
n the lips? Profane swearing is as anuoh
orbidden by the law. as theft or arson
Om r murder, yet who executes it? Profan-
'iby is worse than theft or arson or mur-
der, foratbess primes are attacks on hu-
manity; that is an attack on God.
The Career Cursed.
This country is pro -eminent for blas-
phemy. A man traveling in Russla was
ueupposed to be a clergyman. "Why do
!you take me to be a clergyman?" said
the man. "Oh," ,said the Russian, "all
Wether Americans swear." The crime is
' multiplying in intensity. God very often
wows what e thinks s o u or enlisted the mightiest pulitioal , power of
;most; part the fatality 1s . hushed up:
work rn the nettle chat be bad cheated
God out of one day anyhow, and the man
who worked with him on the same Sab-
bath is :till living, Luc a helpless invalid
under the same flash.
Years ago in a. Pittsburg prison two
men were talking about the Bible and
Christianity, and one of them, Thompson
by name, applied to Jesus Christ a very
low and. villainous. epithet, and as he was
uttering it he fell. A pbysician was
called, but no help could be given. After
a day lying with distended pupils and
palsied tongue he passed out of this
world. Ina cemetery 10 Sullivan County,
in New York State, are eight headstones
in a lino and all alike, and these are tiro
taets; In 1$t11 diphtheria raged in the
village, and a phystclan was remarkably

Almighty Gloti, and, Gott accepted the

has been silent in your case, 0 profane
swearer, that he is deed, Is there nothing
now in the peculiar feeling of your tongue
or nothing in the nhuut.ness of your brain
that indicates that God may come to
avenge your blaspbefnics or is already
avenging them? But thee cases I have
noticed, 1 believe, are only a low eases
Where theta are hundreds, Families keep
them quiet to avoid the borribao con-
spicuity, Physicians suppress them
through professional cot ldence. It is a
vary, very, very long roll that contains
the names of those who died with blas-
phemies on their lips
Still the crime rolls on, tap through
pavlova, up tbruugh chandeliers with
lights all ablaze and through the pictured
corridors of clubrooms, out through busy
exchanges, whore oath meets oath, and
down through all the haunt)/ of sin,
mingling with tho rattling dice and
crae;iling billiard balls, and the laughter
of bor who hath forgotten the covenant
of her God, and round the city and round
the continent and round the earth a seeth-
ing, bailing surge flings its hot ape iy into
the taco of a long suffering God, and the
Ship captain curses his crew, and the
master 'Milder has Hien, and the hack
driver his horse, and tho traveler the
stone that bruises his foot or the mud
that soils his shoes, or the datectavo time-
piece that gets him too late to the rail
train. I arraigu prof:ane swearing and
blasphemy, two names fax the same
thing, as being ono of tho gigantic arlhnes
of this land, and for its extirpation it
does seen as if it teem about time for
God to arise.
The Day oi' Drink.
Then look for at moment at tiro evil of
drunkenness. Whether you live in Wash-
ington or Now York or Chicago or Cin-
cinnati or Saveunah or Boston or in any
of the cities of this laud, count up the
saloons on that street as compared wth
the saloons five years ago, and see they
are growing far out of proportion to the
increase of the population. You people
wbo are so prep se and particular lost
there should be some imprudence and
rashness in attacking the ruin traffic will
have your son some night patched into
your front door dead drunk, or your
daughter will cornu home with her chil-
dren because her hustend bus by strong
drink been turned into a demoniac. The
drink fiend has despoiled whole streets of
good homes in all our cities. Fathers,
brothers. sons on the funeral pyre of
strong drink! Fasten tighter the victims!
Stir up the flames! Pilo on the corpses!
More men, women and olhildren for the
sacrifice' Let us have whole generations
on fire o1 evil habit, and at the sound of
the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery
and dulcimer let all the people fall down
and worsbip King Alcohol, or you shall
be oast into the fiery furnace under some
political platform !
I indict this evil as the regicide, the
fratricide, the patricide, the matricide,
the uxoricide, of the century. Yet under
what innocent and delusive and mirthful
names alcoholism deceives the people! It
is a "cordial." It is "bitters." It is an
"eye opener." It is an "appetizer." It is
a ""digester." It is an ""invigorator." It
is a "settler.", It is a "'nightcap." Why
don't they put on tbe right labels—
""Essence of Perdition," "Conscience
Stupefier," "Five Drams of Heartache,"
"Tears of Orphanage," ""Blood of Souls,"
"Scabs of an Eternal Leprosy," "Venom
of the Worm That Never Dies?" Only
ones in awhile is there anything in the
title of liquors to even hint their atrocity,
as in the case o1 ``sour mash." That I
see adver�ised all over. It is an honest
name and any one oan understand it.
"Sour mash I" That is, it makss a man's
dinpositian sour, and his associations
sour, and his prospects sour, and then it
is good to mash his body, and mash his
soul, and mash his business, and mash
his family. "Sour mash!" One honest
name at last for an intoxicant! But
through lying labels of many, of the
apothecaries' shops, good people, who are
only a little under tone In health and
wanting some invigoration, have unwit-
tingly''got on their tongue the fangs of
this cobra that stings to death so large a

Others are ruined by the common and

be wealthy. The Bible all aflame with

ing sohniters. Oh, for God 1 Does it not
seem time for his appearance? Is it not
time for all lands to cry out, "Let God
arise, and let his enemies be scattered?"
I got a latter asking me if I did not
think that the earthquake in one of our
cities was the Divine ebastisemeut on
that city for its sins. That letter I an-
swered by saying that if all our Ameri-
can cities got all the punishment they
deserve for their horrible impurities the
earth would long ago have oraoked, open-
ing crevices transcontinental and taken
down all our cities so lar under that the
tip of our ohuroh spires would be 600 feet
below the surface. It is of the Lords
mercies that wo have not been consumed.
Not only are the affairs of tbis world
so a -twist, a -jangle and racked that there
seems a need of the Divine appearance,
but there is another reason. Have you
not noticed that in the history of this
planet God turns a leaf about every 2,000
years? God turned a leaf, and this world
was fitted for human residence. About
2,000 more years passed along, and God
turned another leaf, and it was the
deluge. About 2,000 more years passed
on, and it was the Nativity. Almost 2,-
000 more years passed by, and he will
probably soon turn another leaf. What it
shall be I cannot say. It may be tbe
demolition of all these monstrosities of
turpitude and the establishment of righte-
ousness in all the earth. He can do it,
and he will do it. I am as confident es if
it were already accomplished. How easily
he can do it my text suggests. It does
not ask God to hurl a great thunderbolt
o1 his power, but just to rise from ,the
throne on which he sits. Only that will
be necessary. "Let God arise i"
Redemption.
It will be no exertion of omnipotence.
It will be no bending or bracing foe a
mighty lift. It will be no sending down
the sky of the white horse cavalry of
heaven or rumbling war chariots. He
will only rise. Now he is sitting in the
majestyeand patience of his reign. He is
Morn his throne watching the mustering
of all the forces of blasphemy and drunk-
enness and impurity and fraud and Sab-
bath breaking, and when they have done
their worst and are most surely orgauized
he will bestir himself and say: "My
anomies have denied me long enough,
and their cup of inquity is full. I have
given them all opportunities for repent-
ance. This dispensation of patience is
ended, and the faith of the good shall be
tried no longer." And now God begins to
rise, and what mountains give way under
his right foot I know not; but, standing
in the full radiance and grandeur of his
nature, he looks this way and that, and
how his enemies, are scattered! Blas
pbomers, white and dumb, reel down to
their doom, and those who have trafficked
in that which destroys the bodies' and
souls of Ween and families will fly with
cut foot on the down grade of broken
decanters, and the polluters of society
that did their bad work with large for-
tunes and high somal sphere will over-
take in their descent the degraded rabble
of underground city life as they tumble
over, the eternal proclaims, and the world

Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, Countess
Dowager de ?tontija, whose father was
English consul at Malaga at the period
of her marriage with the Count de Mont-
ijo, an officer in the Spanish army. On
the death of the (bunt de Montijo his
widow was left with a fortune adequate
to the maintenanoo of the position of her-
self and two daughters, one of whom
married the Duke of Alba and Berwick.
For Eugenie, the Countess Tuba, a
bigber destiny Was reserved. Her mar-
riage to the Emperor Napoleon III. was
celebrated with Bauch magnificonce Jan•
nary 29, 1863, at Notre Dame, the Em-
press then being in her twenty-seventh
year. March 16, 1850, she became the
mother of an heir to the house of Bona-
parte. When war between France and
Germany was deolarcd and Emperor Na-
poleon took the field the Empress was
appointed regent (July 27, 1870). Immo•

Pleasure of Bestowing Them Is Lost If
They Are Not Gracefully Aeeepted.
There are a great many frietidahips
ruined by the unwillingness on one side
or the other to accept favors. Two school-
girl friends united by many congenial
ties are forced apart because the poorer
one foolishly thinks that she should
make some return for the pretty gifts,
the party invitations, the tickets to con-
certs or matinees which her friend loves
to remember het with. She knows that
sbe is unable to make any return, so re-
fuses the good times, and by doing so not
only deprives her friend o: the keenest
delight but herself of many opportuni-
ties for pleasure, and the family circle at
home of the recital of the fresh and novel
experience which contact with the world
outside of her home would surely bring
her.
Favors are of many sorts. It sometimes
happens that a wealthy woman may wish
to send a girl to college, to help her in
her music, to encourage her in her desire
for an art education; she may give her
books, take her out with her and give
her opportunities for hearing great artists.
When a girl has such Favors offered bor
she should accept them gracefully and
with a clear conscience. The favors are
not all on one side; her bright face and
enthusiastic appreciation mean much to
the woman wbo is fortunate enough to
be able to dispense favors.
"I have heard that it sometimes dila
wonders," observed the neighbor, "but I
didn't suppose boys know much about it..
Has it benefitted you any, Johnnie?"
"Benefitted mei" echoed Johnnie.
"You just bet it bus! It's great! Wheu
you're Christian science, you know, yea

should say it has. Oh, golly, ain't it

It was on a crowded suburban oar eat
et Washington one day last summer that
a middle aged woman carrying a fretful
baby was forced to squeeze herself into a
email space left vacant beside a dapper
youth of possibly twenty years, whom the
baby, in its restlessness, would touch wit%
hand or foot. Finally ho turned towards
the woman and inquired in a tone quite
audible to those near bine, "Ah, beg
pawdon. madame, but has this child any-
thing—ah—contagious?" Glanoing com-
passionately at him, through her gold
rimmed snectaoles, she remarked, medita-
tively, "Well, now, I don't know, young
man; but—ah—it might be to you. She's

Cover During Sleep.
The reason that it is necessary to be
well covered while sleeping is that when
the body lies down it is the intention of
nature that it should rest, and that the
heart especially should be relieved of its
regular work temporarily. So that organ
makes ten strokes a minute less than
when the body is in an upright posture.
This means 600 strokes in sixty minutes.
Therefore, in the eight hours that a man
usually spends in taking his night's rest
the beart is saved nearly 5.000 strokes.
As it pumps six ounces of blood with
each stroke, it lifts 80,000 ounces less of
blood in this night session than it would
during the day, when a man is usually
in an upright position. Now, the body is
dependent for its warmth on the vigor
of the circuli`ion. and as the blood flows
so much more slowly through the veins
when oue is lying down the warmth lost
in the reduced circulation nmst be sup
plied by extra coverings.—San Francisco
Chronicle.

fatlieree neighbors.
"Great," said the buy. "We've got
Christian s^.ionce over ter our house,"
and he munched oue doughnut and
waved a second in the air.
"Christian science? Whatdo you
mean?" inquired the pal,zled neighbor,
"It's just iinmoose!" cried - the boy..
