Several kinds of Ore fences have been placed on he market, none of which have proven entirely sat- isfactory ; but in placing before you our CHAMPION STAY WIRE PENCE. we do so eonfidently, believing that we have over- come all of the objeetiorie that have been raieed against wire fencee in the past. It is composed of any desired number of galvanized steel wires, placed at a suitable distance apart, upon which are plaeed two hall -inch half -round steel bats, one on each eide of the wires, with groove between to fit tightly on the wires, and bolted with four bolts holdirg them firmly together and preventing the wires from slid- ing up or down. It ra also arranged that the actions of heat and cold in expanding and contraeting the wires are thoroughly controlled by tighteners, and the fenee can be kept taut at all seasons of the year. All we ask is an examination of its merite, and we re satisfied you will decide it has no equal. Manu- actured by EDWARD LITT & CO., Dublin P. 0., Ont. R. B.

DOAN'S Kidney Pills ARE THE BEST Far sale by I V. Fear, Seaforbh. ordinary style 9t ser.moniAng Is this re- markable discourseof Dr. Talmage which We send out today. His tend is Romans lx, 3, "I could Wish that myself were ac- cused from Christ for my brethren, my Linemen aoolsling to the flesh." ! a A tough passage, indeed, for those who take Paul ltterally. When some of the eld theologians declared that they were will- - ing to be damned for the glory .of God, they said what no one believed. Paul did not in the twit mean he was willing to die forever to save his relatives. •He used hy- perbole, and -when he declared, l'I could wish that myself were accnrsed from Christ for my brot{hren, uiy kinsinen according -to the flesh," he meant in the most vehement otall possible ways to declare his anxiety for the salvation qf hie relatives I and friends. It was a paSsion for souls. Not mote than one Christian out of I thousands of Christians feels it. All absorbing de- sire for the betterment of the physical and mental condition is very common. 'It would take more of a mathematician than I ever can be to oalculate how many, are, up to .an anxiety that sometimes will not let them. sleep nights, planning for the ef- ficiency �f hospitals *here the sick and wounded of body are treated, and for eye and ear infirmaries, and for dispensaries and retreats where the poorest may have most skillful surgery and helpful treat- ment. Oh, it. is . beautiful and glorious •this wid,espreed and ever intensifying movement to alleviate and cute .physical misfortunes. May God encourage and help the thousands of splendid men and wornen engaged in that work! But all that is outside of my subject today. - In behalf of the' immortality of a rnan, the -inner eye, the inner ear, the inner capacity for gladness' or distress, how few feel any- thing like the overwhelming concentra- tion expressed in my text. Rarer than four leaved clovers,1 rarer than century Plants, rarer than prinsa donnas, have een those of whom it may be said, "They ad a passion for souls," You ceuld gaunt en the fingers and thumb of your left hand all the names of those you can.recall who in the last—the eighteenth—ceetuty were So characterized. - , , 1 . . Itedcraption of Mankina. . All the names Ofthose yell could recall in our time as having this . passion for souls you can count en the fingers and thumbs of yotir right_ and left hands. -There ma, many more -such consecrated souls, but they are,scattered so Widely you do not know them. Thoroughly hristlan people.by the hundreds of milli ns there tire today, but how few people do you know who are utterly oblivious to every- thing in this world except the redemption of souls? Raul had it when ha- wrote my text,- and the time will comelwhen the majority of Christiane s-viI1 have it, if this world is ever te be lifted out of the slough in which it has laeen sinking arid flounder- ing for near 19 :centuries, and tho better- ment had better begin with myself and ',purse] f. When I a committee of the Society of Friends called upon a, member to repri. mend him for breaking scene small rule ef the society, the member replied: "I had a dram, in which all the friends had assem- bled to Plan some way to have our meet- ing house cleaned, for it was very filthy. Many prepositions were made,liut no con- clusion *as reached until one of the mem- bers rose and said, 'Friends, I think- if isach ono would tak aliroom and sweep immediately aroma& his °Wan seat, the meeting house woold be clean. t" So let the work of spiritual improyenient begin around our own Soul. Some one whispers up from the right hand side of the pulpit and aYs, "Will you please name some of the persons in our times vvho have this . passion for souls?" Oh, no! That would be invidious and imprudent, and the mere mentioning of the names of such persons ioaight cause ill thorn spiritual pride, and then the Lord would have no more use ler them. Seine one whispers up from the left hand side of the pulpit, "Will you not, then, men- tien amongthe people of the past sOnse who had this passion for souls?" Oh, yes! Samuel Rutherford, the Scotchman of .300 years ago—his imprisonment at Aberdeen Lor his religious zeal, and the public burn- Ingof his book, "Lex Rex, ' ' in Edinburgh, and his unjust arraignment for high trea- son and other persecutions, purifying and senctifyipg him so that his works, entitled "Tral and Triumph of Faith" and A Ic rist Dying and Drawing Sinners to Himself," aild, above all, his 215 unparal- leled letters showed that he had the passion ior ,souls; -Richard Baxter;. whose "Para -- phrase of the New Testament" caused him to be dragged before Lord Jeffreys, who howled at him as "a rascal" and "snivel- ing Presbyterian" and imprisoned him for two yeertte'-Baxter, writing 168 religious books, his "Call to the Unconverted" bringing uncounted thousands into the pardon of the gospel, and his "Saints' Everlasting Rest" opening heaven to a host innumerable; Richard Cecil; Thomas a Kemple, writing his ,"Inaitation of Christ" for all ages; Harlan Page, Robert McCheyne, Nettleton, Finney and more whom I might na.ention, the characteristic of whose lives was an overtowering pas- sion for eouls. A. B. Earl, the Baptist evangeliSt, had it. L S. Inskip, the Meth- odist evangelLst, had it, Jacob Knapp had if., Pr. Bacaus, president of Hamilton c011ege, had it. And when told he had only I alf an hour to live said:. "Is that so? Then take me out of my bed and place me upon my kzeos and let me spend that time in calling on God for. the salvation of the World." And so ho died upon his knees. Then there have been others whose names have been known only in their own family or neighborhood, and here-, and there- you think of ono. What unction they had in prayer! What power they had hi exhor- tation! If they walked into a loon* every member of it felt a holy thrill, and if they walked into a prayer meeting the dullness and stolidity instantly Vanished. One of them would wake up a.whole church. One of theist would amotipAos electrify a whole city. • The Divine Peasant. Btit the most wonderful one of that characterization the world , ever saw or , heard or felt was a peasant in the far east, I wearing a plain blouse likean inverted,; wheat sack, with three openings—one for I the neck and the other two for the arms. I His fatker a Wheelwright and house build- i Or and diven to various carpentry. His mother at first under suspioion because of 1 the circurastancs3s of his nativity, and he 6hased by a Venetic •naania out of his na- ' tive land to live awhile under the shadows of the sphinx and pYramid of Gizeh, after- veard nonloniadins gie Tara D. 's of Jerusat - - lent, then .stop-Ping.the paroxysm of tem- . peet and of madman. His path strewn with slain dropsies and catalepsies and ophthalmias, transfigured on one moun- tain, preaching on another mountainalying on another mountain and ascending from another mountain—the greatest, the love- liest, the, mightiest, the kindest, the most; self sacrificing, most beautiful being whose ' feet ever touched the earth. Tell us, ye deserts who heard_ourt4avtaurl.prezer: ae, _ teIl tis, ye seas -that, drenched him with your Surf; tell us, ye Multitudes who heard him preach on deck on beach, on hillside; tell tie, Golgotha, a:he heard the stroke of the hammer on the spikeheads and the dy- ing groan in that midnight that dropped on rnidnoon, did any one like Jesus have this passion for souls? But breaking -right in upon me is the qinstion, How can we get something of this IPauline and Christly longing for saved immortalities? I answer, by bet- ter appreciating the prolongation of the soul' existence compared with eyerything physi 'al and material. How I hope that surgeen will successfully remove the cat- aract Ifrom that man's eye! It is such 0 saa thing to beblind. Lot us pray while the doctor is -busy with the delicate opera- tion. But for how long a time will he be able to give his patient eyosig,ht? Well, if the pat ent be 40 years of age, he will add to his happiness Perhaps 50 years of eye- sight, nd that will bring the man to 90 years, 4nd it is not probable that he will live longer than that, or that he will live so ong.j But what is good eyesight for 50 years nhore as compared with clear vision - for the Soul a billion of centuries?I hope the effo t to drive back the typhoid fever from yo der home will be successful: God help the doctorel We will wait in great anxiety until the fires of that fever are eX- tinguis ed, and when the man rises from his pill w and walks out, with what heartine s we will welcome him into the fresh al and the church and business cir- cles! H is 80 years of age, and if he shall live 60 years more that will make him 90. But what are 60_ years more of earthly vigor 'compared with the soul's health for iiquadrilIlion millenniums—a milleitniurn, as you know, a thousand years? This world, Once fitted up for Juan's residence', has existed about six thousand years. How much longer wilI it exist? We vsill sup- pose it shall last as much longer, Which is very doubtful. That will make its exist- ence twelve thousand years.. But What are or will be twelve thousand years com- pared with the eternity 'preceding those yeara and the eternity following them— time, as conmared to eternity,- like the drop of the night dew shaken from the top of a grass blade by the cow's. hoof on its 'way afield this morning, as compared with Mediterranean and Arabian and Atlantic and Pacific watery dominions? 1 Paul at Corinth. A stranger desired to purchase a farm, but the owner would not sell it—would only let it. The Stranger hired it by leak for only one crop, but he sowed accorns, end neces hut I the c ages. I se house Corin fortre on th more and 1 were this mature that crop poo years were ary. That was a practiced deception, deceive you not when I tell you that onof the soul takes hold of unending o the autleer of my text seated in the of Gains, who entertained, him at h, not far from the overhanging s of Acro-Corinthus, and meditating longevity of the _ soul and getting nd more agitated about- its value he awful risk seine of his kindred •unning concerning it, and he writes etter contuining the text, which Chrysostom admired so much he had it read o .er 0' gs he says those daring and star- tling tvords of my text, "I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my broth E3n, my kinsmen; according to the flesh. '1' Anther Way to get something of the Pauli e longing for tedoemed immortali- ties i by litaainining tho vast machinery arran ed to save this inner and spiritual natur . That machinery started to revolve On th edge of the garden of Eden, just after the cyclone of sin prostrated its - sycal ores and tamarisks and willows and , will ot cease- to revolve until the last soul of ea th shall get rid of its last sin and enter the heavenly Eden. On that stu- pendous machinery for soul- saving the patri rch put his hand, and prophet his hand, and evangelist his hand, and apostle his hand, and Christ his hand, and almost every hand that touched it became a crush- ed hand. It was thel most expensive Ma- chineey ever constructed. It cost More to start lt and has eost and will cost more to keep it running than all the wheels that ever rade revolution on this planet. That reach nery turned not by ordinary motive power) but by force of tears and blood. To conneCt its bands ofinfluence made out of human and Christly, nerves with n11 parts 'of th4 earth millions of goocl„ men and woinoi aro now at work and Will be at work ntil every wilderness shall become a gardee, and every tear of grief shall be a teat of joy, and the sword of divine victory shall give the wound to the old dragon that soall send him hovvling to the pit, the iron gate clanging against him, never again to open. All that and infinitely more o save the soul! Why, it must be a treme dous soul—tremendous for good or tremo±idous for evil, tremeudous for iftkp- piness or tremendous for woe. - P11 on the left side of the largest sheet of paper that: ever came from paper mill a s1n0.43 unit, the figure 1, and how many ciphers would you have to add tathe right of that figure to express the soul's value, each c'pher adding tenfold? Working into that s heme of the soul's redemption, how many angels of God, descending and as- cendi g I How many storms swooping on Lake Galilee! How many earthquakes °pent g dungeons and striking cataclysins throu h mountains,' from top to base! What noonday sun was put on retreat! What omnipotence lifted and- what God- head was put to torture! All that. for the soul. No wonder that Paul, though pos- sessing great equinol e of ternperaMent when he thought w at his friends and kindred were riskin concernieg. their 'souls, flung aside all his ordinary modes of speech, argument nd apt simile, and bold inetaphor, and earned allusion, as unfit to express how be felt, and seizing upon the appalling hyperbolism of nay text_ cries dut, "I could wish myself accursed" , —thatis, struck of the thunderbolts of the o nipotent God, sunk to unfathomed depth ohained into servitude to Abaddon and thrust into furnaces whope fires shall never born out—if only those whom I love might how and forever be saved. Mind you, Paill does not say, "I do wish." He says, "I could wish." Even in the agony ho felt Or others he did not lose his bal- ance. "I could wish myself accursed." I could, but I do not. Only one being that ever lived was literally willing to give up- heaval for perdition, and that was the di- vine peasant whom I mentioned a few mo- ments ago. He was not only willing to excha ge dominions of bliss for dominions of wre chedness, but he did so, for, that he forsoo heaven, witness the stooping star and 'a I those who saw his miracles of - Lierc4 and that he actuallv entered..the gates cf the worldof perpetual .confla gra- tion t e Bible distinctly deolares. He did not s y, with Paul, "I could," but he said, ' I will, I do," and for the souls of men h "descended into hell." Piety on Ice. In tl is last half of the last decade oil the ninete nth centurythe temperature in the churches Is very low, and most Of the Piety evoold Spoil if it were not kept on ice. And, taking things as they are, ordinary Chris - ill never reach the point where the of Paul in the text will not seem travaganza. The proprieties in the churches are so fixed that all a dans se outcry like e most o Christi n is expected to do on Snnday is bo get if a little later in the morning than usual, ut on that which is next to his ire—not the very best, for that has eserved for the levee—enter the with stately step, bow his head, or ate shut his eyes in prayer time, them enough to took eleeny, turn to be church at a y or c1bs towerd the pulpit with holy dullnefei while the preacher speaks, put a 5 cent piece—or - if _ the times be hard a 1 cent 'piece—on the I collection platter, kind of Shoving it don under the other coin so that it might .be, for all that the usher knows, a $5 gold - piece, and then, after the benettion, go quietly home to the biggest rep st of all the ' week. That is all the majority of Christians are doing for the recti cation of this planet, and they will do that until, at the close of life, the pastor opens a' black book at the head of their casket and reads: "Blessed are -the dead who die in the Lord. • They rest irons , their labors and their works do follciw them." The sense of the lud'crous is so thoroughly -developed in me , tha , when I hear these Scripture words rea at the obsequies of one of the re igious do I ()things in the churches it is much for y gravity. "Their works 0110W the n." What works? And in what dime-. 1. tio do they follow them—up or down? An do they follow on foot or on the wing? is An how long will they fellow before they 1 cat h up? More appropriate funeral text for all such religious dead -beats would be the words in Matthew xxv, 8: "Our lamps are gone out." One would think that such Ch istians would show at least under wh so banner they are enlisted. In one of the Napoleonic wars a woman—Jeannette by name—took- her .position with the tro ps and shouldered a broomstick. The col nel said, "Jeannette, why do you take su h a useless weapon into the ranks?" ell," she said, "I can show, at least, w Joh side I am on." • Concerning,Missionaries. fow, the object of this sermon is to stir at!least one-fourth of you to an ambition foi that which my text presents in blazing vo a bulary—namely, a passion for souls. T4 prove that it is possible to have much of that spirit, I bring the consecration of 2190 foreign - missionaries. It is 'usually es imated that there are at least 8,000 mis- sienaries. I make a lfberal allowance and admit there may be 10 bad inissinnaries out of the 3,000, but I do not believe there is Ione. All English- and American mer- chants leave Bombay, Calcutta, Amoy and Peking as soon as they make their for - trines. Why? Because no European or American in his senses would stay in that climate after monetary inducements have ,ceased. Now, the missionaries there are put down on the barest necessities, and most ot thenA do not lay up $1 in twouty years. Why, then, do they stay in those lands of intolerable heat and cobras and reging fevers, 'the thermometer sometimes playing at 130 end 140 degrees of op- pressiveness,, 12,000 mile§ from home, because of the unhealthy climate and the 'prevailing immoralities of those regions compelled to send their children to Eng- land or Scotland or America, probably never to see them again? 0 blessed Christ! Can it be anything but a passion for souls? It is easy to understand all this frequent depreciation of foreign mission- aries when you know that they areiall op- posed to the opium traffic, and that inter- feres with commerce, and then the mis- sionaries are nloral, and that is an offense to n3any of -the merchants—not all of them, but many of them—who, absent from all home restraint, are so ill moral that wo can make only faint allus on to the monstrosity of their abomin tions. Oh, I would liketo be at the gate o heav- en when -those missionaries go in to see how they will have the pick of coronets and thrones and mansions on the best streets of heaven. We who have had easy pulpits and loving congregations, enter- ing heaven, will, in my opinion, have to take our turn and wait for the Christian wbrkers who, amid physical * sufferings and mental privation and environment of squalor, have done their work, and on the 'principle that in proportion as one has been self sacrificing and suffering for Christ's sake on earth will be their celes- tial preferment.
