A despatch from Chicago saYa.
Rev. 'Prank De Witt Talinege pelmets -
ed from the following text: Mat-
thew =fit, 57, "As a hen gathereta
her chickens leader her wings:"
This commercial a,ge is brutally
Intaoetie. It bas even carried its
hocking innovations into the barn -
Yard. .We are now trying to hateh
our eggs into broods, but by , the
wholeeale. We would ebeenge a
km's nest into a big, square wood-
en box and call it an ineubator.
We would have the oil lamp of the
incubator do the work of the feath-
ered breast and the oatistretehad
wing. We would have the 'Wire
screen displace the shoal) pointed
bill of the barnyard netstress ve-
hemently plunging right and left in
defence of her young. We would do
this in spite of the inalienable
Melte of the bens, whose maternal
affections are being crluelted by this
modern custom. The man, eager
above all things to maim money,
has not the patience to listen to
protests from man or bird against
Iris methods.
This controversy, however, cloes
not concern is in dealing with the
smile Christ used in our text. At
the time Claist Uttered those words
the barnyard know nothing of this
modern innovation of the incuibator.
Chickens still found their natural
shelter under the wings of the ben,
and our Lord's hearers perfectly 'un-
derstood the meaning of his illus-
tration. So common was the sight
of a hen gathering her chickens un-
der her wings that evety ono would
reeognize the truth Christ meant to
teachwhen he used the hen's wing
as a symbol of divine love. Thus,
as Jesus wept over the sinful in-
habitants of Jerusalem, al the
words of my text I would tay to in-
terpret that divine love in the lan-
guage of the barnyard. I realize its
force and beauty all tbe more be-
cause .1 am preparing this eermon
within the echoing scaled of the
barnyard king calling to his harem
to awaken at the first peep of the
day, also within the sound of the
voice of the hou clacking toher
little ones to eome trader the pro-
tection of their mother's Wing.
A LIFE GIVING WING. •
God's wing is a spiritual life-giv-
ing wing. The warm feathers of
the mother bird are absolutely es-
sential for the development of the
lives of her young. If it were not
for the old hen's wing her chickens
would freeze to death during the
spit g nights. They would some-
times be drowned unless her wing,
as a waterproof cevering was
placed over them. They would die
from lack of warmth, even as a lit-
tle baby would die unless the mo-
ther every night tacked him up in
his crib or snuggled him up by her
warm side in bed. Heat is life.
Cold is death. The hen's wing is
something more than a mere poetic
figure. It means that its warmth
not only hatches out the eggs, but
also by its heat develops the little
chickens after they are hatched.
Postnatal care for tbe child in the
ma,king of a man is just as im-
portaut as right prenatal condi-
tions.
God's wing is absolutely essential
for the development of a spiritual
child. The Bible distinctly says,
"Ye must he born again." That
means, -yo must be a God produc-
tion as well as a man production."

the most famous Christian soldier,
at the time of his death, in the Brie

A SYMBOL OF raizE LOVE.
God's wing is a prOtecting wing.
There are twp kinds of hens. The
ono is a chickenlose fowl, which is
an arrant coward, Slio will run
at every strange sight and known
danger, If she could fiy, she would.
When the little boy throws a stone
at her she would run to the oppo-
site side of the yard just as fast as
sate can go, keeping her wings flap-
ping to help along in the retreat,
But how different is the belmvior of
one who is clucking to her brood.
Then there is no CONVa,rd'S heart
boating within the mother's breast.
Than there is no danger she will not
face for her young.
The Ian's wings in times of dan-
ger are always protecting wings.
The other' day I was walking about
a farm and °awning the horses in
the stalls and the cattle in the
fields, while a pet dog was running
at my heels. During ray explora-
tions 1 beard an excited clunking,
but thought nothing of it. As 1
stepped 'into the barnyard 'tamper I
saw a hen lyieg under a board.
called to her but She moved not. I
called again and agaie, and then
tried to 'sem° her off of what
thought to be a stolen nest. Then
I took a stick and gave her a poke.
Instead of a frightened hen flying
away for her life I found a Vindic-
tive and outraged mother tying at
me and my dog. The dog ran in
one direction. I in the other. Then
the hen called again to her young
and gathered her thickens .under
her wing, while she still eyed my
four legged companion as sae would
eye the would-be raerderer of her
ohildre.n. Oh, tray friends, in the
beraltifulsymbol of my :text. did
you ever stop to think that God's
care could be a protecting wing?
GOD'S PHYSICAL 'PROTECTION.
God protects us in a physical
sense. Some time ago a gentle -
with hi g family, wisbed to
make a journey to ;Boston. He hue-
ried through his work that his va-
cation .7:night be one of complete
rest; but; try as hard as he could,
he lost • the desired, train.
A abort time after the
gentleman read the telegraph-
ic reports that the train upon evhica
he hoped to travel was wrecked in a
collision and sores and scores of
peopte were killed. He immediately
gathered his family together and re-
turned thanks to God because he
and hie loved ones had been saved
from this calamity. But why ought
that man especially to have thanked
God that day? Ought he not rather
to be grateful to his Heavenly
Father for caring for him and his
loved ones every day? I never take.
a trip in my life, and I have .tra.a-
eled thousands and tens of -thousands
of miles, but I realize the innumer-
able dangers which everywhere be-
set me. One intoxicated engineer,
one drunken switchraan, ono failure
of the signal lights to work, and
Death is ready to reach out her bony
arms and hug the breath out of me.
If you do not believe what I say,
some night when -traveling lie awake
in your berth. Then listen to the
'enabling in the distance coming.
nearer and nearer until, with one
wild shriek, the limited shoels past
and then realize the prevalent dang-
ers. Then thank God that he cared
for and protected you in a physical
sense. The beettking of one wheel,
the twisting of one rail, the sagging
of one bridge girder., and your train
would be derailed and all its occu-
pants would be hurled ieto eternity.
God's wing in a physical sense is
over us. It is a protecting wing. It
covers us as a hen shields her
chickens from the threatening hawk.
POWER TO RESIST.
God protects us in a, spiritual
souse. The Bible says, "God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to
be tempted beyond that ye are able,
but will with the temptation also
make a way to escape, that ye may
be able to bear it," What doesethat
statement mean? Simply this: Here
is a man whose whole nature is
gnarled and twisted by sin. Ho is
by a corrupt past a drunkard, a
libertine, a thief. He wars to get
under the protecting shadow of
God's wing. When he arises in the
morning he kneels by his bed' and
says: "0 God,- I am awfully weak. I
know not which way to turn unless
I look to thee. Save me this day
from the wine cup. Savo me from
the fatal pitfalls which are yawning
at my feet. Savo me, 0 God,* save
me!" Will God answer such a
pleading prayer as that? Oh, yes.
God says to this moral cripple:
"Come, my. child, come under my
wing, my protectiog wing. I will
surround thee with holy coMpanion-
ship. I will shut out front thy
sight the buzzards and the hawks
and the serpents and the rats of sin
which would destroy your life! Come,
my child, come. Come under the
shadow of my spiritually protecting
wing." My friends, soine. of us have
been trying to resist temptation in
our Own strength., Will you not de-
pend upon the strength of God?.
Will you to -day, as a. Caristian, ac-
cept God's proteeting wing against
your besetting sin? That Wing is a
pledge that God will not allow your
temptation to be stronger than you
Shall have pottier goven to resist.
DARICNESS AS IN Laalrri
' My dear hearer, are you ready to
trust God in darkness as 'well as in
the light? You came to zmr the
other day and said, "X eannot un-
derstand why this trouble 'Wee laid

brother, my sister, can afford to
wait and trust Christ just a little
While longer. We can trust him and

PROTECTION TO ALL.
The hen's chickens know their
mother's • voice. At her call they
leave whatever they are doing and
go to her. My brother, have you
heard God's voice calling you? Have
ycu responded or have you stayed
in your sin, heedless of his call? RU -
member, the protection of the divine
seek it. God's wing is big enough to
coyer all who repent of their sins
and come to him in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ. But though
God's wing is big enough to shelter
the Mary alagdalenes and the poor
publicans and the Peters and the
Johns, though they may come by the
millions, there are S03130 W110 IniSS its
protection. What is the reason?
Jesus tells us in this very passage:
"How often would I have gathered
thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her
wings, and yo would not!" That is
the reason. God forces no man to
come. He invites, he pleads with
them, but if they will not come,
even he can do no more. The aw-
ful storms of the godless eternity
beat upon them, and they have no
shelter. What the terrors and the
misery of that time will be we can-
not conceive. They aro but dindy
outlined in the Bible, but the images
used are terrifying enough to blanch
the bravest cheek, and through it all
meniory and conscience will reproach
the shiner with those sad. Words,
"Ye would not." Shelter was of-
fered to all who would come, but
"Ye would not." Self excluded, self
destroyed; that will be the most
terrible part of that awful fate.

in Mandalay. This is, the aliingun
Bell, on the right bank of tae Irra-

Sam. xv., 22.
18, And Samuel came to Saul, and
Saul said uuto him: Blessed be thou
of the Lord. I lieve perkneued the
commandment of the Lord.'
in our previoua studies in this
portion of Scripture, in 1a80 and
1895, we began at verse 10; now we
are advised to study from. verse 10,
so it is practically the same. Con-
cerning tile lard's repentings (verses
11-25) note verse 20, "The strength
of Israel will not lie nor repent,"
and Num. xxiii., 10, "God is not a
man that He sbould die, nor the
Son of Man that Ile should repent,''
God never changes His mind, but al-
ways does just what He knew from
all eternity that He would do, Ile
knew how Saul would turn nut, how
long Ile would have to bear with
him., and when He would put David
in his place. He comes to a plate
alevaye foreseen when Ile changes
His line of action, and to us He is
said to repent. Man, on the con-
trary, repeata when he changes his
mind and does what ho had not in-
tended to do. In chapter xiii. wo
see how 3av1 began' to do foolishly
and by disobedience forfeited the
aingdom (xill., 13, 14).
14, 15. The people spared the best
of the sheep and of the oxen to sac-
rifice unto the Lord thy God, and
the rest inc have utterly destroyed.
The command was to utterly de-
stroy all (verse 3), yot for professed-
ly a good object he puts his own
construction on it and disobeys tho
plain command. All things are neat. -

with 'whom wo have to do, and all
sin, unless confessed, forsaken and
forgiven, will be sure to find us out.
Heb. iv., 13; Num. xxxii., 28; T.
Caron, xxviii., 9). Saul did not
seem to understand that God wants
nothing from. the enemy either for
service or sacriiice.
16, 17. Then Samuel said tmto
Saul, Stay and I will tell thee what
the Lord hath said to me this night.
And he said unto him, Say on.
Then he reminded him how when
little in his own sight the Lord had.
anointed him king over Israel. It is
a good thing' always to be little in
one's own estimation. for we re-
member hoe, tjzziah was marvelously
helped till lan was strong, but then
he fell (II. Citron. xxvi., 15, 16).
Our highest place is lying low at
our Redeemer's feet that the Lord
alone may be exalted. What ct bles-
sed man was Samuel, who talked
with Cod and with whom God talk-
ed and wbo sought only to know the
Mind of God and do it. Why not
say just now and stand to it, "My
Father, I will, by Thy- grace, seek
henceforth in all things to know
Thy will, and do as Thou heat
said?" Why should not all believers
in daily life thus walk with God?
18, 10. Wherefore then didst thou
not obey tbe voice of the Lord, but
didst fly upon the spoil and didst
evil in the sight of the Lord.
The Lord sent him and told him
what to do, and it WW1 his not to
reason, bat obey. The reasoa of
the command given to Saul is
found in Ex. xvii, 8-16, 'bet being
long auffesing and not willing that
any saaeld perish He had given
them 400 years in which to repent.
Mercy always precedes judgment.
All the failurea' in the Lord's serv-
ice set befere, as in strong contrast
Taint wbo never failed anal who lov-
ed lo say imo often, "The Fatther

"I do always those things that

Gideon's, to go day be- day in the

He confesses to have Raved the

the order to cleatiroe-, and yet in-
sists that he had obeyed the voice
of the Lord: It is the old story,
so common to -day, of penwecting

86) and . of thinking that He does
not mean just what Hie says. Happy

When a baby is coming the ex-
pectant mother needs to take special
care of iierself, for upon her health
depends to a great extent the health
of the unborn babe. If diet, etc.,
etc., etc., is not watched, the start in
life of the future offspnng will not
be a satisfactory one. It is a mistake
to take liquid, medicines at this time,
for they all contain alcohol. Their
steady use has the sarne effect as
habitual liquor taking, consuming the .
vitality and hardening the tissues,.
If you are weak yott need a tonic,
not a stimulant. Don't take medica-
ted wine or aleoliolic medicines ; but

THE PRIVATE BEGRETARY
SOME of' THEM 1XELP TO RUN
THE EXPIRE.
Lord Miner, Mr. Curzon, and ler.
Balfoue, Premier of Great
Britain.
If there is no royal road to suc-
cess in life, a Very good substitute
for it is to start the journey in the
clararacter of private secretary- to a.
Minister of the Crown; for of all
men who enter the race for high
places no one get a more liberal
hainditcap. Indeed, in eine cases out
of ten it is his own fault if be does
not captene a valuatble prize.
It is weighty evidence of the truth
of this statement that the three men
wee° to -day are filling the most hon-
orable and responsible posts in our
Empire, were, not many yeams
oacopying aseful but °bemuse roles
as private secretaries on salaries
not exceeding $1,500 a year.
It is oalts fourteen years since a
comparatively unknown barrister
and journalist was welting Mr.
Gostaten's letters for this easideet
stiperal; but emen in. this eltaracter
he could not conceal the light of
genius that was in hint; and to -day,
as Lord Milefor, he is one of the
few dominant figures in the Empire
of the King, with a salary of $40,-
000 a year and the realeing of half
a oo.ntinent in his hands..
A few years earlier, in 1886, Mr.
Curzon, Ire& from his Oxford
triumphs and his presidency of th.e
Union, was noting as aesistant pea
vate secretary to Load Salisbury
without a penny of salary; thirteen
years later he was ruling a fifth of
the lanntan race and filling tthe most
eplendiel Vice -Throne. in the world
ora'a salary of $125,000 a Year.
The third 6£ our trinity of glori-
fied aananetenses is the Premier, who
foe two obscure years acted as his
utrae's secretary at the Isoreign
Office, and dirONV his $75 a raanth as
geateftilly as any second division
clerk in His Majesty's service. And
all three, if they had to commence
their careers over again, would no
doubt go through precisely the
sante apprenticeship; for, as the
late Lord Derby said, "If a. private
secretary to a Cabinet Minister can. -
not snake a brilliant success of .his
life it meaty either that he has no
ca.rds to play or that he doeon't
know how to play them."
Nalueally, all secretaries cannot
reach ettelt divesy heights; but there
are many peaks on the political
Pairnassos, and tatere is one for
each of those who will climb to it—
with the assistance of a good nrang
pushes from behind.. o

Why don't you regulate that variable
