wonder to -day. lt stood on an isth-
mus washed by two seas, the one sew
bringing the commerce of Europe, the
other sea bringing the commerce of
Asia. From her wharfs, in the con-
struction of vii ich whole kingdoms

three bunks of oars pushed out and
confounded. the navy yards of all the
world. Huge handed niachinery, such

and traiieported thc.,,in on trucks

that lined the beach to :cellect a
tariff from all nations. The mirth of
all People sported • in her isthmian
games and the beauty of all lands sat
in her 'theatres, walked, her porticoes
and threw itself on the altar of ' her
stupendous dissipations. Column and
statue tied temPle bewildered the be-
holder. There were white marble
fotuitains into which from apertnres
at the side there rushed waters every-
where known for health qualities.
'Arouncl these basins, twisted into
wreaths of stone, there were all the
beauties of sculpture and architect-
ure, while standing, as if to guard
the costly CliSPlaY, WL1S a statue of
Hercules of 13111111 iShOd Corinthian
brass. :Vases of terra cotta adorned
the cemetm•ies of. the dead --vases so
costly that Julius Caesar was not
satisfied until he had captured them
for Rome. Armed officials, the Cor-
intharii, pa.cod up and clow -n to see
that no statue WdS defaced, no pe-
destal over thr OW11 no bas relief
touched. From the edge of the city
a hill arose, with its Magnificent bur-
den of columns, towers and temples
(1,000 slaves waiting at on shrine),
and a citadel so thoroughly impreg-
nable' that Gibraltar is a heap of sand
compared with it. Amid all that
strength and magnificence Corinth
stood and defiedthe world.
Oh, it was not to rustics, who had
never seen anything greed, that Paul
uttered his text. They had heard the
best instruments in all the 'world;
they had heard songs floating- from
morning i)porticoes and melting . in
evenhld. groves; they had passed their
whole lives among pictures and sculp-
ture and architecture and Corinthian
brass, which had been melded and
shaped -until there was no chariot
wheel in, which it had not sped, and
no tower in -which it; hadnot glitter-
ed, and no gateway that it had not
adorned. Ah, it was a 'bold thing
for Paul to stand there aanid all
that .and say: "All this is nothing.
These sounds that come from the
temple ef Neptune are not music com-
pared with the harmonies of which
I speak. These waters ,rushing in
the basin of Pyretic: arenot pure.
These sla Lues of Bacchus and .Mer-
cury, are not exquisite. Your citadel
of Aci•ocorinthus is not strong
compared with that which I offer to
the poorest slave that put a down his
burden at that brazen gate. You Cor-
inthians think this is a splendid city.
You think you have heard all sweet
soundsand seen all beautiful sights,

You see my text sets forth the
idea, that, however exalted our ideas
of heaven, they come far short of the
reality. Some wise men have been
calculating how many furlongs long
and wide is the new Jerusalem, and
they have calculated how many in-
habitants ,there are on the earth,
. how long the earth will probably
stand, and then they come to this es-
. timate: That after all the nations
have been gathered to heaven there
will be room for each soul, a room
16 feet long and 15 , feet wide. It
would' not be large enough for you.
It would not be large enough ,for

estimate is sufficient to take the di-

You were a child, and you went out
in the morning, how you bounded

never felt sorrow or sickness. Per-

cheek and a spring in your step and
an exuberance of spirits and a clear-
ness of eye that made you tihank God
yon were permitted to ' live. , The
peeves were harp strings and the sun-
light was a doxology, and the ruetl-
ing leaves were the rustling of the
.robes of 'a great crowd rising up to
praise the Lord. ' You thought that;
you knew what it was to be well,
but there is no perfect health ' on
earth. The diseases of past genera-
tions calm down to us. The airs
that now float upon the earth are not
like those .whioh fleeted above para-
dise. They are cherged with lea-
pnrities and distempers. The most.

describe them. ' He says, "the 12

through the telescope of St. John, we
see a blaze of amethyst and pearl

John bids us look again and see
the great procession of the redeemed

leads the march. .and all the armies
of .heaven follow on white horses. In-

pressing into line, ages following

I remark further, we can get no
idea of the reunions of heaven. if
you have ever been across the seas
and met a friend or even an acquftin-
taium in some strange land, you re-
member how your blood thrilled and
how glad you 'were to sea him. What
will be our joy after we have passed
the seas of death to meet in the
bright city' of the Lord those froani
whom we have long been separated.
After we have been away from our
friends 10 or 15 years and we come
upon them we see how differently
they look. Their hair has:turned,
and wrinkles have C0111C in their fac-
es, and we say, "How you have
chauged!" But, oh, -when we stand
before thethrone, all cares gone from
the face, all marks of sorrow disap-
peared and feeling the joy of that
blessed land, methinks we will ,say
to each other with an exultation we
cannot now imagine, "How you have
changed?"
In this world we only meet to
part. It, is goodby, goodby. Pare -
wells floating in the air. We
it at the rail car -window..and at the
steamboat wharf—goodby. Children
lisp it, and old age answers it.
Sometimes we -say it in a light way
—'‘goOdby''—and' sometimes with
anguish in which the soul breaks
down—goodby! Ah, that is the
word that ends the thanksgiving
banquet; that is the .word that 'comes
in to close the Christmas chant,.
Goodby, goodby. But not so in
heaven. Welcomes in the air, • wel-
comes at the gates, welcomes at the
hoUse of many mansions, but no
goodby. That group , is constantly
being 'augmented. They aregoing
up from our circles of earth to join
it ---little voices to join the anthem,
little hands to take hold in the great
hothe circle, little feet to dance in
the: eternal glee, little crowns to be
cast down, before the.; feet of Jesus.
Our friends are in ,two groups
group this side of , the river and a
,group, on the other .side of the river.
Now there gees one from this to that
and another from this to that, and
soon we will all be gone .over. How
many of your loved ones have al-
ready 'entered upon that . blessed
place? If I. should take paper and
mncil,do you think I could 'put them
aLt down? Ali, ray friends, the Waves,
of Jordan ,roar so hoarsely we can_
•
not hear the joy on the , other .side
when that group is augmented.

CHASES NERVE
THE GREAT BLOOD BUILDER.
Mrs, D.W. Cronsberry, 168 Richmond St., Toronto, Ont.,
states: "My daughter, who sews in a white goods factory.
got completely run down by the steady confinement and close
EXHAUSTED attention required at her work. Her nerves
NERVES. were so exhausted and she was so weak and
debilitated that she had to give up work
entirely for some weeks.
"She then began to use Dr. Chase's nerve food and
ii
found it excellent n restoring her to health and strength. She
is now greatly improved and at, work again. Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food also helped her through a very severe attack oil
la grippe. I can recommend it as an excellent remedy."

Mr. Alex. Marshall, 59 Essex St., Toronto, Ont., says.—
"Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills are a splendid medicine and
certainly do all that is claimed for them. Both myself and
KIDNEY wife have been greatly benefited by their use. I
SEA had kidney disea%e ancl pains in the back for over
two years and at times the pains were so acute
that I was totally unfit for work. Among the remedies I tried
were English pills supposed to be good, but they did not fit
my case.
" I heard Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills highly praised,
and used them. I now feel like a new man. The pains and
aches have entirely disappeared and I can now work with
comfort. My wife is much improved in health and we both
endorse D. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills most heartily."

FOR JERICHO'S HONOR
HOW 'LISH BILLINGS UPHELD HIS
TOWN'S GOOD NAME.
Old Siltutte Renshaw Thought He Had
an Eauy Time, but r'luelz and Strat-
egy Proved a LittIe Too mueit For
Hi1111.
[Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.]
Fur a year or more old Squar' Hen-
shaw of Goose Creek had bin eomin
over to Jericho once a week to make
trouble. I -Ie was known as the great
est checker player in four counties, and
men had come a hundred miles to play
with him and beeu downed. That's,
whar be hurt our feelin's. I-Ie'd drap
into the postatlice in a keerless way
and talk about the weather and butter
and eggs, and biumby, jest as he 'peer-
ed to be goin home, he'd pull up and
say;
by the way, mebbe this town of
Jericho has got a critter who knows
a checkerboard from a corn sheller."
We had a few checker players, but
none of 'mu dared tackle the squat',
and the way he bragged and blowed
and trod us into the dust was painful
to bear. One day he bore on harder
than usual. After his usual bluff lie
turns on the crowd and says:
"Mebbe times one man in Jericho
With one drap of patriot's blood in his
body -one man and one drap. Alebbe
that nmn would hey fit ag'in 'tyranny
If he'd been livin in 1776. alebbe that
man, bein as he wasn't alive in 1776,
but Is now, is williu to pour out that
one drap of blood fur the honor ol' this
town. If that' be sich a critter here,
let him speak up!"
We all knowed that he meant check-
ers, and thar was au awful silence flit'
a adult or two. Then 'Dish Billings
keerfully picks a cobweb off his hat
and softly, says:
"Squar' Henshaw, I'm that critter,
I've got that bleed, and I'm W•illin to
shed her fur Jericho as ag'in Goose
Creek!"
"You don't mean It!" gasps the
sonar%
"Rut 1 dd."
"And you'll play mo a game Of check.
ersr•
"I will."
The squar' spected to win that game
in half an hour. He kept gruntin and
gurglin, like a hog scratchin his back
on a barbed wire fence, but binicapy
that balmy look weut off his face.
'Lish was boldin him right to It and
not even breathin hard. Thar was a
bet of a bushel of turnips ag'in a bag
of carrots as to who would git the fust
king, and 'long about neon, when 'lash
got it, sich cheers went up from the
Jericho side that the water in some of
the town wells riz a foot higher than
was ever known before. Deacon
Spooner couldn't be held. Ile went out-
doors and waved his cane with one
hand and his hat with the other and
sobbed:
"It's a pint in favor of Jericho!"
The game had skassly more than be-
gun up to noon. The squar' then made
up his mind that he had a job on hand,
and when play was resumed after din-
ner he kept talkin to 'Lish in a keer-
less way to confuse his mind. He
asked him about that Alaskan bound-
ary dispute, the Darwin theory, the
surrender of Burgoyne and Leaps of
other thing's, but 'Dish just sits there
with his tongue out a leetle farther and
never lets on to hear a word. At 6
o'clock at night he was one king ahead,
and as they stopped the game fur sup-
per the town of Jericho was wild with
enthuSlasin. When they begun ag'in,
Squar' Henshaw started up that grunt -
in and gurglin. We seen it was meant
to make 'Lish nervous, and Deacon
Spooner calls half a dozen of the boys
outdoors and says:
"The stiller' is =kin a pint, and
we've got to offset it. Do any of you
know what 'Dish's favorite tune is?"
"It's the 'Sweet Binieby,' " says Itluos
Johnson. "'Dish has bin singin that
hymn fur the laet 20 years. Lie sings
it to his cows and hens and sheep and
bogs, and It allus calms him like a
cold flatiron laid on his spine."
"Then go in and hum it," Says the
deacon. "Every time the squar' gruntS
and gergles you hum that tune and
oll'set him."
Enos did so, and it was 'Wonderful
to see what tbe effect was. 'Llsb had
begun to sweat and git red in the faee,
hut the mlnit he heard that "Dimebv"
Pc grew as calm as sand and jumped
another of the squar's men. After ten
minits thar was no more gurglin. The
squar' .realized that it was up ag'in
him, and lie quit. Long about mid-
night, when the game was about half
finished, be said he was willin to
till the next day, but 'Lish won'
let go. He said he'd play right on ti
Saturday night without sleepin, an
they went ahead. ri'lley was that
when daylight come, and they was
thar when noon come, and all the time
'Lish was gittin a leetle the best of it..
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon we
seen that things was comin to a, cll.
max. The squar' realized that he must::
do somethin or go to the wall, and he,
suddenly begun grdntin and gurglin ia
that saii'h old way. Enos Johnson Wa%
not at hand to stop him, and 'Lish get
confused and lost a king, It „vas tt
critical time, but Deacon Spoonet
saved the day. Ire rushed out and
got Abner Jones, and Abner 001110 in
and started up that "Bitneby" at the
top of his voice, 'Lisle fa -lotted a long
breath and settled down ag,'In, and ten
minits later he had the squar's last
man penned up, and the game was
