Washington, Feb. 11. -- In this
discourse Dr. Talmage sets forth the
reseonsibility of those who • are
strong and well, as ina, former dis-
course he preached to the (disabled
and "the shut in;" text, Judges xiv,
1, "And Samson went down to Tim-
nath.''
There are two sides to the charac-
ter of Samson. The one phase of his
life, if followed into particulars,
would administer to the grotesque
and the mirthful. But there is a
phase of leis character fraught with
leseons of solemn and eternal im-
port. To these graver lessons we
devote our sermon.
This giant no doubt in early life
gave evidences of what he was • to
be. It is almost always so. There.
were two Napoleons --the boy Na-
poleon and the man Napoleon ---but
.both alike; ' two Flo-wards—the boy.
Howard and the man Howard—but
both alike; two Samsons—the boy
Samson and the man Samson but
both alike. Tine giant was no doubt
the hero of the playground, arid
mithing could stand before, his ex-
hibitions of youthful prowess. At
18 years of age he was befhrothed
to the daughter of a Philistine. Go-
ing down toward irimnath, a lion
came out upon him, ,and althoueh
this young 'giant was Weaponless he
seized the monster by the long mane
and shook him as a hungry hound
shakes a March hare and made his
bones crack and left him by the way-
side bleeding, under the smiting of
his fisi and the grinding heft of his
'heel. ,
There he stands, looming up above
other men, a mountain of flesh, his
arms bunched with muscle that can
lift the gate of a city, taking an
attitude defiant of everything. His
hair ha,d never been cut, and it roll-
ed clown -in seven great plaits ever
his shoulers, adding to his bulk,
fierceness and terror. The Philis-
Tines want to conquer him, and there-
fore thee, must find out where the se-
cret of his streneth lies.
There is an evil woman 'living in
the valley of Sorel( by the rtanie. of
Delilah. They appoint her the agent
In the case. The Philistines are se-
creted in the Same building, and
then Delilah goes to work and coaxes
Samson to tell what is the secret of
his strength. "Wen," he says, "if
you should take seven green evithes
such as they fasten wild beasts with
and put them around me, I should
be perfectly powerless." So she
binds ban with the seven green with -
es. Then she claps her hands and
eays, "They come—the Philistines!"
and he walks out as though there
were no impedient. She coaxes him
again and again, "Now tell the se-
cret of this great strength?" and he
replies, "If you should take some,
ropes that have never beeii used and
tie me with' them, I should he just
like other men." She ties him with
the ropes, clasps her hands and
shouts, "They come—the Philis-
tiries!" Re walks out as easily
as he did before -- not a sinele
obstruction. She coaxes him again,
and he says, "Now, if you should
take these seven long plaits of hair
and by this house loom weave the.rn
into a web, I could not get 'aeva,y."
So the house loom is rolled up, a,ncl
the shuttle flies 'backward and for-
ward, and the loragplaits of hair n. -r4-
woven. into a web'''. Then she clasps
her hands and says, "They come ---the
Philistines!" Ile walks out as eas-
ily as he clicl before, dragging a part
of the loone with him.
But after awhile she persuades him
to tell the truth. I -Ie says, "If you
should take a razor or shears and
cut off this long hair, I should be
powerless and in the hands, of my air
enemies." Samson sleeps, and that
she may not wake him up during the
process of shearing help is called in.
You know that the barbers of the
east have such a skillful way of mati-
Mutating the hea,d to this very day
that Instead of waking up a sleep-
ing man they will put a nian wide
awake sound asleep. I hear the
blades of the shears grinding against
each other, and see the long locks
falling off. The shears or ra,zor ac-
complishes what green withers and
new ropes and house loom. could not
do. Suddenly she clasps her hands
arid says, "The Philistines be upon
thee,, Samson!" Ile rouses up with
a struggle, but his strength is all
gone. He is in the hands of his
enem les.
'I hear the groan of the giant as
they take his eyes out, and then I
see him fstaggering on ire his 'blind-
ness, feeling his way as he goes on
toward Gaza. ' The prison door is
open, and the giant is thrust in. He
site down and puts his hands on the
mill crank, which with exhaust ing
horizontal , motion goes day after
day, week after week, moeth after
MOIlth--work' work work! The
consternation of the world in cap-
' iivity; his locks Shorn, his eyes pun-
ctured, grinding corn in Gaza!
First of ail, beheld in this giant of
the text that physical power is not
always an in,dex of moral power. He
was a huge man — the lion found
it, out, and T.,he 3,000 men Whom he
slew found ft out; yet he was the
subject of petty revenges and out-
gianted by low passion. T am far
from throwing any disercait npon

just in proportion to what he has

be a typo of moral power. We ought
to have as geod digestion of truth as
we have capacity to assimilate food.
Our spiritual hearing ought to be as
good as our physical hearing. Our
spiritual taste ought to be as clear
as our tongue. Samsons in body, we
ought to be giants M moral power.
But how often it is that men With
physical strength do not serve
Christ. They are like a ship full
manned and full rigged, capable of
least tonnage, aJele to endure all stress
of weather, yet swinging idly at the
docks, When these' men ought to be
crossing and recrossing the great
ocean of human suffering and sin
with God's supPlies of imercy. How
often it is that physical strength is
used in doing positive damage or in
luxurious ease, wheia, with sleeve
rolled up and bronzed bosom; fearless
of the shafts of opposition, it ought
to be laying hold with all its might
and tugging away to lift up this sun -
lieu wreck of a world.
• is a, most shameful fact that
much of the business of the 'church
and of the World must be done by
those compara,tively invalid. Rich-
ard Baxter, by reason of his diseases,
all his days sitting in the door or
his tomb, yet writing more than 100'
volumes and sending out an influence
for God that will endure as long as
the "Saint's Everlasting Rest." Ed-
ward Payson, never knowing a well
day, yet how he preached and how
he wrote, helping thousands of dy-
ing souls like himself to swim in a
sea of glory. And Robert McCheyne,
a walking skeleton, yet you know
what he did in Dundee and how he
shook Scotland with zeal for Gocl.
Philip Doddridge, adyised by his
friends because of his illness not to
eater the ministry, yet you know
what he did for the "Rise and Pro-
gress of Religion" in the church of
the world, ,
Wilberforce was Told by his doc-
tors that he could not live a fort-
night, -yet at that very time enter-
ing upon phila,athropie enterprises
thaf demanded the greatest endur-
ance and perseverance. Rohert Hall,

in his pulpit while preaching he
wduld stop and lie clown on a sofa,
then getting up again to preach
about heaven until the glories of
the celestial city dropped on the
titutle, doing more work perhaps tha,n
almost any well man in his day.

Never until society goes back to the
old Bible and hears its eulogy of pur-
ity and its anathema of uncleaneess
----never until then will this evil be
extirpated.
Behold also in this giaat of the
text and in the giant of our own cen-
tury that great physical power must
crumble and expire. The Samson of
the text long ago went away. I -1e
fought the lion. I -Ie fought the Plea-
istines. He could fight, anything, but
death was too much for him. He may
have required a longer grave and a
broader grave, but the tomb neverthe-
less was his terminus.

a'housands of sermons are preached
to invalids. I preach this sernion to
stout isien and healthful women. We
must give to God an account for the
right use of this physical org-anism.
These invalids have compara,tively
little to account for perhaps. They
could not lift 20 pounds. They could
not walk half a mile without sitting

of them accomplish. Rising up in

as The British yeomanry, which is being
1
ea leiie"egeeleoefesseeesieesiesiceteeemereeseseasee
organized for possible seevice in South
Africa, is a body which has no coenter-
part in this country. It is really a cav-
alry reserve of mounted militiamen. We
have here several separate troops of
volunteer cavalry. New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and other cities have such
bodies. But in eingland there are no less
than 39 regiments of yeomanry. All are
fairly well drilled, fully equipped, and it
will require only a short time to get them
ready for the field,
I' rote a social standpoint the yeotnen
stand a notch higher than either the vol-
unteers or the niilitiamen. Daeli one is
a gentleman trooper." If he is city
bred he is most likely a bank elerk a
briefless lawyer with an income or a
member of some one of the professions.
If from the country, he is of the gentry—
that is, he is a squire, a well to do farm-
er, a small land holder or the son of a
country tradesman. The officers are all
more or less rich men, many of whom
have served in the guards and have set-
tled down in the country on small es-
tates,
As a body the yeomanry ride wen and
shoot well. They are lacking in military
traiuing, and it remains to be seen how
they will stand the severities of a real
campaign. They are a tine looking, web
built set of men, however, and will prob-
ably acquit themselves with credit it
o they meet the Boers, provided the burgh -
e ers do not handle them too roughly.
st The enrolled strength of the yeomanry
y is about 14,000 men. The regiments'
t. take precedence according to the dates of
ie organization, thus: The Royal Wiltshire
_ hussars, the Prince of Wales' Own, is
e No. 1. This regiment was organized in
e 1794 and received the title royal after
g the riots of 1830, The uniform ,is blue,
g with facings, Busby bag and plume scar-
let. They bear the Prince of Wales'
f
e feathers as a badge.
; The yeomanry force is in several points
similar to the militia. The officers are

nonainally appointed by the lord lieuten-

day when we must answer for the

men, or a spiritual power?
•Y' The day approaches, and I see one
xt who in this world was an invalid,
and as she stands before the throne
s- of God to answer she say: "I was
sick all iny days. I had but very
IS little strength, but I did as well as
I could in being kind to those who
Y were, more sick and .in.ore suffering."
L • And Christ will say, "Well done,
faithful servant."
And then a little child will stand
of before the throne, and she will say:
"On earth I had a curvature of the
spine, and I was very weak, and I
was very ill, but I used to gather
flowers out of the wildwood and
bring them to my sick mother, and
she was comforted when she saw the
sweet flowers out of the wildwood.
f I did not do much, but I did some-
,
t thing." And Christ shall say, as he
o takes her up in his arms and kisses
her, "Well done, well done, faithful
servant; enter thou into the joy of
n thy Lord." What, then, will be said
ta us, we to whom the Lord gave
physical strength and continuous
1 health? Hark, it thunders again!
e The judgment, the judgment!
- I said to an old Scotch tninister,
, who was one of the -best friends I
Y ever had, "Doctor, did you ever know
s Robert Pollock, the Scotch ,poet, who
c wrote 'The Course of Time?' " "Oh,
yes," he replied, "I knew him well!
e I was his classma,te!" And then the
doctor wept on to tell me how that
ithe writing of "The Course of Time"
exhausted the health of Pollock, and
f he expired. It seems as if no man
1 could have such a glimpse of the day
for which all other, days were made
as Robert Pollock- had and long sur-
vive that glimpse.. In the description
of that day he says, among other
things:
Begin the woe, ye woods, and tell it
to the doleful winds,
And doleful wind.; wail to the howl-
ing hills, I
And howling hills inourn to the die-
mal vales,
And dismal vales sigh to the sorrow-
ing brooks, --
And sorrowing brooks weep to the
' weeping s trea re, 1
And weeping stream awake the groan-
ing deep;
Ye heavens, great archway of the .
universe, put sackcloth on,
And ocean, robe thyself in garb of
Wido-whood
And gather all the, waves into a
groan and utter it
Long, loud, deep, piercing, dolorous,
immen se.
The occasion asks it, Nature dies,
and angels come to lay her in her
grave.

A YOUNG GIRL'S DANGER.
How She Overcame it, and
Baffled Her Tormentor.
Toronto, Feb. 8th.—Miss Ida Hobkirk,
of 184 learborcl street, this city, is a young
lady who is exceedinglypopular with a
very exuensive circle of friends, all of whom
are rejoicing over her recent escape from
a terrible danger. The story of her ex-
perience is deeply in terestinge told lu her
own straightforward way.
Here is her narrative :—"In 1896 f took
a position ie a down -town store. My work
was not unusually hard, but I soon found I
could not stand it, and my health failed.
I grew very thin, had splitting headaches
continually, dizzy spells and extreme
weakness. My tongue was thickly furred,
harsh and dry, every morning, and arose
tired aud aching. I was dull and low-
spirited all the time.
Ty sister had used Dr. Arnold's Eng-
lish Toxin Pills with remarkable benefit,
aud 1 aslo began to take them. I candid-
ly state that improvement began almost
innnediately. Daily I mended, till to -day
I ani in better health, and much, stronger
than I have been for years. To De Ar-
nold's English Toxiu Pills, and to them
aloue the credit is due."
Every girl and woman who suffers as
Miss Hohltirk did, should use Dr. Arnold's
English Toxin Pills. They will give new
life and health.
Dr. Arnold's English Toxin Pills, the only
medicine that cures disease by killing the germs
that cause it, are sold by all drugsgEsts at 75c. a
box sample 1 ox 150., or sent post-paid on re-
ceipt of price by The Arnold Chemical Co.,
Limited, Canada Life Building, 42 King street

Who Was Shot, Boys?
A duel was once fought bv two men
named Shott and Nott. Nott was
shot and Shott was not. In this case
it is better to be Shott than Nott.
There was a rumor that Nott was not
shot, but that Slott was shot notwith-
standing. Circurastaural evidence is
not always good. On trial it might
appear that the shot Shott shot shot
Nott, or it might be possible that the
a shot Shott shot shot Shott himself,
-
when the whole affair woul e as
O at first, and Shott would be shot a,nd
' Nott would be not. We think, how-
° ever' that the shot Shott shot shot
_ not Shott, but Nott; anyway, it is
d hard to tell who was shot.

For providiu, their own uniform th
men receive an annual contingent allow
ance of £3 if they pass out of the third
class at the annual musketry course o
one of £2 if they fail to do this but are
otherwise efficient. It may be added tha
a yeoman who fails to become anything
better than a third class shot after two
consecutive years' training is struck off
the rolls.
Yeomanry regiments are called out an-
nually for six clays of permanent duty,
exclusive of the day of assembly and
that of breaking up. This period of
training includes the musketry course,
while the drill instruction given is main-
ly directed to the duties of light cavalry,
and asireconnoitering duties are the chief
function of the latter these are well prac-
ticed during the short titne the regi-
ments are assembled. While doing per-
manent duty or when embodied for active
military service the rank and file receive
a subsistence allowance of 7 shillings a
day and 2 shilliugs a day for forage.
A good deal of chaff, originating chiefly
from the gorgeousness of the uniform
and the splendor of the saddlery affected
by many of the corps, is hurled at .the
yeer,nanry, but the officers and noriper-
nienent staff noncommissioned officers
know their work fairly web. Just three

cavalry soldiers.

‘Fithout Benefit—pt', Williams' Phalle
Pills Restored.
Mr, John McDonald a well known)
merchant, of Cape North. N. S., wait
for many years a sufferer of spinat
trouble, which eventually resulted in
partial paralysis. Treatment of many
kinds was resorted to, but withoul
avail, until finally Dr. Williams' Pinia
Pills were used, with the result' that
Mr. McDonald is again enjoying ^per -
feet health. Mr. McDonald's story i
giveni
s
as follows n his own words%
'Almost thirteen years ago I caught
O bad cold which lodged in my back,
producing a terrible pain. Liniments
are at first resorted to, but they had
no effect, and the trouble beeame se
bad that I could hardly work, and
could not go out of doors after desk.
ftS I would be almost certain to fall
if I atterapted to venni... Medical
treatmeut did me no good. I tried
six different doctors, but the result
was always the Same. I spent $30 for
an electric belt, but it was simply
money wasted. Years went on and 3
was continually growing worse, until
in the spring of 1895 my lower limbs
Would scarcely support me. In June
of that year I went to the Victoria
General Hospital, Halifax, where 3
remained for tvvo months under the
treatment of the best specialists, brat
When I returned home I was actually
woxse than when I entered the hos-
pital. This 'thoroughly discouraged
me. and I gave up all hope of ever
getting better. I continued to grow
worse until about the first of January,
1896, when I become so bad that 1
could not stand alone, as my legs
were like sticks 'under me, My only
means of locoinotion was crutches,
and my legs dragged after me like
useless pieces of timber; I could not
raise them one inch from the floor.
About, the first of the following Aprils
Rev. Mr. McLeod strongly urged me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1
had tried so many things without
benefit, that I did not think the pills
could help me, but nevertheless decid-
ed to give them a trial. After using
six boxes I could see that there was a
slight improvement, and I. continued
using the pills uutil 1 had taken
thirty boxes, and by that time new
life and vigor had returned to my
legs, and I have since beeu able to at-
tend to my business behind the coun-
ter without the aid of crutches, or
even a stick. Under God's blessing
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have restor-
ed me to a new measure of health and
energy, I never expected to again en-
joy in this world.
My restoration has caused a great
wonderment in this section, and as
result I have sold many gross' of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills in my store, and
many of those who have bought them
from me tell me they have cured
them of their troubles.
Dr. Williams' Pink :Pills act direct-
ly on the blood aud nerves. They do
not purge, and therefore do not weal: -
en like other medicines. They give
strength from tb.8 first pill to the
last used. There axe many dealers
who offer pink colored substitutes, be-
cause the substitute gives them a
greater profit, but these should always
be refused, as substitutes are .either
dangerous or absolutely worthless,

Origin of Khaki. Cloth.
War in South ei.frica hae greatly in-
creased the manufaeture of khaki
cloth, over 15,000 persons now being
engaged in making the cloth for
British soldiers. The word "khaki"
is*of 1-lindoo origin and means dust or
clay colored. The cloth is made en-
tirely of cotton atul is exceedingly
durable. It was probably first used
by English soldiers in India and was
also used by them in their Egyptian
campaigns. The color is not attrao-
tive, but the cloth makes the best of
garments for wear in a hot country.
