My design thia morning is to show to ,you that practical religion Ls the friend ot longevity; 'and I prove it, first, from the fact that it mahee. the care of our physical health 0 poeitiv-e Christian duty. Whether we shall keep early or late hours, whe- ther we 'shall take food digeetible or indigestible, whether there shall be thorough or incomplete mastication, are questionvery oft deferred to the realm. of whimsicality; but the Chris- tian man lifts, thig whole problem of health into the accountable and the divine, He soya: "God has given me this body, and he hag called it the tem- ple of the Holy Ghost, and to deface ite altars, or to mar it walls, or crum- ple ita pillar, is a God -defying ewe- rilege." Ile see g God's caligraphy in every pago—anatomical and physic - logical. He .say a: "God has given me a wonderful body for noble purpose." That arm with thirty-six curiena bone, wielded by forty-six curious muscle, and all under the brain's telegraphy—three hundred and fifty pounds of blood. ruelling through the heart every hour—the heart in twen- ty-four hours beating one hundred thousand time—daring the twenty- four hour e overcoming reaista.ncea amounting to 225,000,000 pounds weight—during the same time the lunge taking in fifty-aeven hogsheads of air, and all this meohaniein not more mighty than delicate, and easily unhook -ed and demolished. The Chris- tian man says to himself, If I hurt ray nervee, if I hurt my brain, if I hurt any oi ray physical facultiea, I insult God and I call for dire retri- bution." The care of all your phy- sical forces—nervous, muscular, bone, brain, cellular tiss.ues—for all this you must 'be brought into requisition when the world ie on fire. Smoking your nervous. :system into fidgets, burning out the coating, of your stomacli with wine logwooded and strychnined, w-alking through snow- banks with thin ahoes to make your feet look delicate, pinched at the wa.i.st until you are nigh cut irietwoe aud neither part worth anything, groan- ing about sick. headache and palpita- tiona of the heart, which you think come from God when they come from the devil! You are no Christian. NI,rakat right hti.s any man or any wo- man to deface the temple of the Holy Ghost? What is the ear 1 Why, it is the whispering gallery of the human sonl. What in the eye? It is the observatory God constructed, its tele- scope Sweeping the heavens. So won- derful is the body that God nainea his a own ettributes after different parts of it. Hia onmiacience—it is God's eye. His ominipreeence—it is God's ear. Hisoraipotence—it ia God's arm. The upholstery of the midnight hea.v- ens—it is the work of God's fingers. His life-giving power—it iii the breath of the Almighty. His 'dominion --the governraent shall be upon hie shoul- der. A body so divinely honoured and so divinely conatructed, let us be careful not to abuse it. When it ,be- comes a Chrietian duty to take care of our health, is not the whole ten- dency toward longevity? - Again, I remark, tha.t practical re- ligion is a friend of longevity, in the fact that it is a proteat against all the diseipations which injure and de- stroy the health. Bad men and wo- ram: live a very short life. Their sin kills them. I know lonoirede of good old men, but I do not know a half dozen bad old men. Why? They do not get old. Ohl how many peo- ple -we have known who have not livocl out half their days because of their dissipations and indulgc:nces, Now, practical religion is 0 protest againet all dissipation of any kind. "But," you say, "all profes.sors of re- ligion have fallen, professors of re- ligion have got drank, professors of religion ha.ve misappropriated trust funds, professors of -religion have ab- ,sconded." Yea, yes, but they threw ' away their religion before they did their morality. There are aged peo- ple in thie house to -day who would have been dead twenty-five years ago but for the defences and. the egui- poise of religion. Oh! if this religion is a proteat against all forms of dis- sipation, then it is an illustrious friend of longevity. My text right again: "With long life will I satisfy thee." , Again: religion is a friend of long- evity in the fact that it takes the worry out of our temporalities. It is not work. that kills men; it is worry. When a man becomes a genuine Christian he makes laver to God not only affections, but his, family, bis bus- inese', his reputation, 'his body, his mind, his aoul—everything. In- dIestrious he will be, but never wor- rying, 'because God i$ managing his • effaire. How Can' he worry about business when, in answer to his pray- ers, ood toile him when to buy and. aVheu to sell, and if he gain that is beet, and. if he lost that is best. Sup- pose you had a supernatural neigh- bour :who etiane in and said: "Sir, I Want you to tall •on me in every ex- igency; I am your fast friend; I could fall back on f$20,000,000; I can foresee a panic ten years; I hold the controlling stock in thirty of the best monetary institutions of New York; y whenever ou aro ha any trouble call on me, and I will help you; you can have my money, and you can have my influence, hero is my hand in pledge for it."- How much would you worry about business 3 Why, you woulcl say; " Pll do the best I ean, and than P11 depend upon Wy friend's ori generesity for the rest," Now, more than that, is promised to every Chris- tian business man. God says to him: "I own New York, ana London and St. Petersburg:, and Pekin, and Australia end California are mine ; I can fore- eee a panic a million yeas 1 have all the reeources of the universe, and I am your fa et friend; when you get in business trouble, or any other trouble, call on nie, and, I will hear, and I will help; here is nay hand in Al -ILIAD OF1,` 1.1 E TIMES. lik0111,0, Wi()011144 :°14,),S Stnr Zealand govtotp, too ntsn New Zealand ie looked upon aa the Moet progreasive country in the world as regarda experimeotal government.

Oh I nervous ann feverish people of the world try this almighty sedative; you will live twenty-five yeara longer 'under its soothing power. It is not chloral that you want, or morphine that you want; it is the gospel of longevity. "With long life will I satisfy thee." Again: Practical religion is a friend of longevity, is the fact that it re- moves all corroding care about ftiture existence. Every man want e to know what is to become of him. If you get on hoard a rail train, you want to know at what depot it is going, to stop; if you get on board. a ehip you want to know into what harbour it is going to run, and if you should tell nee you have no intere.st in what is to lee your future destiny, I would, in as polite a way as I know how, tell you 1 did not believe you. Before I had this matter Settled with reference to my future existence, the question almo,st worried me into invalidism. The anxieties you would have had up- on this subject, put trgrether would make a martyrdom. This is a etate of awful unhealth. There are people who fret themselves to death for fear of dying. I want. this morning to take the strain off your nerves and the depresaion off your soul, and I make two or three experipeents. Ex- periment the first: When you go out of this world, it does not make any difference whether in this world you have been good or bard, or whether you believed right or wrong, you will go straight to glory. "Inipoesible," you say, "my common sense as well an my religion teaches that the bad and the good cannot live together forever; you give Inc no comfort in that experiment." "Experiment the secona : When you 'leave this world, you will go into an intermediate stale where you can get ,fLeed up and pre- pared for heaven. "Impossible," you say, "as the tree falleth, so it must Ile, and I cannot postpone to an in- terniediate• state that reformation which ought to have been effected in this state." Experiment the third: There is no future world, when a man dies, that is the last of him. Do not worr about h t - • to ao in y NV a ey ou ale another state of being; you will not do anything. "Impossible," you Say, "there is eornothing that tells me that death is not the appendix, but the preface; there is something that tells me that on this side of the grave I only get started, and I will go on for- ever—nay power to think says Fore ever O my affections say 'Forever my capacity to enjoy or sto-ffer. 'For- ever.'" Well, you defeat me in ray three experiments. 1 have only one more to make, and if you defeat mc in that I am exhausted. A mighty One, on a knoll back of Jerusalem, one day, the akies filled with forked lightnings and the earth shaking with volcanic disturbances, turned his pale and agonized face towards the heavens and said: "I take the sins and the sor- rows of the ages into my own heart. aro the expiation. Witness earth,and heaven, and hell. I am the expiation." Accept that eacrifice and quit 'wor- rying. Take the tonic, the inspira- tion, the longevity of this thought. Religion Ls sunshine; that is healthy. Religion is fresh air and pure wa- ter; they are healthy. Religion is warrath; that is healthy. Ask all the doctors, and they will tell You that a quiet conscience and pleasant antic- ipations are hygenic. I offer you per - 1 eel: peace now, everything hereafter which can fillip the blow and irradiate the disposition. You /have been accus- tomed to open the door on this side the sepulchre. This morning I open the door on the other side the sepul- chre. You have been accustomed to walking in the wet grass on the top of the grave. I show erou the under side of the rave;gthe bottom has fall- en out, and tie long ropes with which' the pall -bearers let down your dead let them clear through into heaven. Glory be to God for this ro- bust, rubicund religion! It will have a tendency to make you lire long in thi.s world, and iu the world to come you will have eternal longevity.

A discovery has just been made which may create as great a aensa- tion in the scientific world aa the Roentgen ray. Bioguerel, a French chemist, diecovered in 1893 a ray which possessed properties similar to the Roentgen ray. The discovery of the latter, however, eclipsed the form- er and Becquerel rays, aS they are called, welt employed only in a minor vray in physical lo.bora.toriea. At that tim.e nje Mariays the French aci- entist, asserted that the rays were emitted frora a new element, but his statement made no impression.' Re- cent experiraents by the Berlin High School of Technology, have proved this to be go, and the interesting fact has Scan observed that these rays render almost every transparent substance luminous in the dark. These rays make it .poseable to tell genuine dia- monde from artificial onea in the (lark. This will prove of great prac- tical importance in testing. The ex- periraents have also resulted in ob- taining, for the first tipae, larger quantities of the new element, which has demonatrated that rays emanat- ing from a large quantity make the air each a conductor of electricity that it is hoped this property can be utilized in wireleeS telegraphy. • The greatest secrecy is maintained con - corning these experiments'. They are considered to be of So much im- portance that the result will be laid before the Emperor. , SPLENI)I0 HEROISM DISPLAYED BY SOME OP THEff. zertileed Traeir LiviL"s 10 Sare Pay,enteri—$tatt1902masOr 1"evirormg1 a I'llathy Act—Stoppol the But 1.0\1 1114 Lire—'1'elegra1111 (Pperacor Sa:tal l'ilree,12nnalren Not long ago Walter Peart aud Henry Dean, the driver and fireman INTERNATIONAL LESSON, APRIL 7.

The men had a bogie with therm which threat- such a doorway near to Jerusalem ap- ened to cause a terrible dieaster, aspears in recent pllOtograP114 and en" Matthew tells, "by an angel of the Lord who had descended from hear: en." Mark is impressed by the great - nese of the stone, and :records the WO- raeres w,onder as to how it. could be rolled away, and 'their dismay when they found that it was gone—an as- tonishment that is echoed in John's: story. Illow common was this custom of closing a tomb by a circular stone la a groove we have no means of knowing. An ancient, specimen of it completely blocked the line, and there was 910 mean a of stopping the train, which at this point always ran at full speed.
