frig you go out and find birds dead on
the snow, no this dead bird of the text
makes rue think of that awful storm
that swept the earth on crucifixion day,
when the wrath of (cd, and the malice
of Man, and the fray of devils wrestled
beneath the three crones. As we sang
just now:
,
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in .
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For•rnan, the creature's :sin. .
But I come now to speak of this second
bird of tbe text. We' must not let that
fly away until We have examined it: The
priest took the second bird, tied it tio the
hyssop branch and then plunged •it 111
the blood of the first bird. Aliiithat is
my soul, plunged' for eleanshititin -the
Saviour's blood! There is tint 'enough
water in the Atlantio_and Pacific' (lucent;
to wash away our smallest sin. Sin is
such an outrage on God's universe that
nothing but blood can atone for it. - You
know the life is iri the blood, and. as the
life had been -forfeited, nothing could
buy it back but blood. What was it
that. was sprinkled on the doorstep when
the destreying . angel went through the
land? Blood. What was it that went
streaming from the altar of ancient
sacrince? Blood. What- was it -that the
priest carried into the holy a holies,
masking intercession for the people?
Blood, What was it that Jesus sweat in
the garden of Gethsemane? Great drops
of blood. What does the wine in the
sacramental- cup signify? Blood. What
makes the robes. of the righteous in
heaven so fair? They are washed in the
-blood . of -the - lamb. What is it that
cleanses all our pollution? The blood of
Jesus Christ, that eleanseth from all sin.
I hear somebody saying, "I do not like
such' a sanguinary • religion as that."- Do
. you think it is very.wise for the patient
to tell the doctor, "I don't like the
medicine you have given me?"If he
wants to be cured, he had better take the -
medicine. My Lord God has offered us a
balm, and it it very foolish for us to say,
"I don't like' that bahn." We had bettor
take it and be saved.. But' you do not
oppoee - the shedding of bleed in other
directions and for other ends. If 100,000
men go out "to battle fur their country
and have to lay down their lives for free
institutions, is there anything ignoble
about that? No you say, glorious sacrifice
rather. And is there anything ignoble.
in the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ,
by the shedding of his blood, delivered
not only- one land but all lands and all
ages from bondage, introducing men by
rnillions and millions into the liberty of
the sons of God? Is there anything
ignoble about that? ..i
As this second" bird of the text was i
plunged in -the blood of the first bird, NO
We must beeeashed in the blood of Christ
or go polluted forever. „
Lot the water and the blood,
From thy.side a healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from earth and make rue pure.
Glorious Freedom.
I. notice now that. as soon as this
second bird was dipped in the blood of
the lirst bird the priest unloosened it and
it was free -free of wing. and free of
foot. It could whet its beak on any tree
branch it °horse. It Could peck the grapes
of any vineyard it chose. It was -free; a
type of our souls after we have washed
in the blood of the Lamb. We can go
where we will. We can do what we will..
You say, 'Had you not better qualify
,
that?" .No; for I remember that in con-
version the will is changed, and the man
will not will that which is wrong. There
Is no strait -jacket in our religlion. A
state of sin is a state .of.slavery. A state
of pardon is a state of emancipation. The
hammer of God's grace knocks the
hopples from the feet, knocks the hand-
cuffs from the writ. opens the door into
a`landseapo all &shimmer With) fountains
and &Ahern with gardens. It is freedom.
If a man had become a Christian, he
Is no more afraid of Sinai. The thunders
-la Sinai do not frighten him. You have
on some August day 5een two thunder
showers meet. One cloud from this
mountain and another cloud from that
.mountain, coming nearer - and nearer
together and responding to each other,
-crash to crash, thunder to thunder, boom,
boom!, And then the clouds break and
the torrents pour,; and they are emptied
perhaps into the ivery same stream that
comes down so ted at your feet that it
seems as if all the carnage of the storm
battle -has- beenemptied into it. So in
this Bible I see two storms gather, one
above Sinai, the other above Calvary, and
they respond ono to the other -flash to
flash, thunder to thunder, boom, boom.
Sinai thunders. "The soul that sinneth,
it shall die;" Calvary responds, "Save
• them from going down to the pit. for I
have found a rensome." Sinai says,
"Woe! woo!" Calvary answers, ,- "Mercy!
mercy!" And then the clouds burst and
empty their treasures into one torrent,
and it comes flowing to our feet, red
with the carnage Of our Lord, in which,
if thy soul be plunged, like the bird in
the text, it shall go forth free -free! Oh,
wish all people to understand this, that
When a man becomes a Christian he
does not become a slave, but that he
becomes a free plan; that he has larger
liberty after he becomes a child of God
than before he became a child of God.
General Fish said that he once stood at
% slave block where an old Christian
minister was being sold. The auctioneer
said of him: "What bid do I hear for
tlels man? He is a very good kird of it
man; he is a minister." Somebody said,
"Twenty dollars," (he was very- ad and
not worth much), somebody else,
"Twenty-five," 'Thirty," "Thirty-five,"
"Forty." The aged Christian minister
. began to tremble. Ho had expected to be
able to buy his own freedom and he had
just $70 and expected with the $70 to
get free. As the bids ran up the old man
trembled more and - more. "Forty,"
"Forty-five," 'Fifty," "Fifty-five,"
"Sixty," "Sixty-five." The old man cried
out, "Seventy." He was, afraid they
would outbid him. The men around were'
transfixed. .Nobody dared bid, and the
auctioneer struck him down -to himself-
donh-done ! •
But by reason or sin we are poorer
than that African. We cannot- buy our
own deliverance. The voices of death are
bidding for us, and they bid -us in, and
they bid us down. But the Lord Jesus
Christ comes and says: "I will buy that
man. I bid. for him my Bethlehem

Copyright 1893, by American Press Associa-

Washington, May 29.-Frora a some of
old Dr. Talmage in this sermon presents
the old gospel under another phase; text,
Leviticus xiv,' 5-7: "And the priests
shall command that one of the birds be
killed in an earthen vessel, over run-,
Ping water. As for the living bird, he
shall take ' it, and the cedar wood, and
the scarlet, and the hyssop and shall dip
them and the living bird in the blood of
the ,bird that was killed over the run-
ning water, and he shall sprinkle upon
him that is to the cleansed from the
leprosy seven times and shall pronounce
Mm clean and shall let the living bird
loose into the open field." •
The Old Testament to very many
people is a great slaughter house strewn
with the blood and bones and horns and
hoofs of butchered animals. It offends
their sight; it disgusts their taste-' it
actually nauseates the stomach. Butto
the intelligent Christian the Old Testa-
ment is a magnificent corridor through
which jeans advances. As he appears at
the other ' end of the corridor we can
only see the outlines of his charaeter.
'Coming nearer, we can descry the
features. But when at last no steps upon
the platform of the New Testament,
amid the torches of evangelists and
apiistles, the orohestrasof heaven
announce him with a blast 'of minstrelsy
that wakes up Bethlehem at midnight.
There were a great /manyges of
t:4
birds brought down tel Je ern for
saorifice--sparrows and p ons and
turtledoves. I can bear/
them now,
whistling, caroling and ) singing all
around about the temple. -When a leper
was to be cured ef his leprosy, in order
to his cleansing two of these birds -were
taken. One of them was sletin over an
earthen vessel of running water -that is
c'ear, fresh water -rand then the , bira
was killed. - Another bird was then
taken, tied to a. hyssop branch and
plunged by the priest into the blood of
the first bird, and then with this hyssop
. branch, bird tipped, the priest would
sprinkle the leper seven times, then
untie the bird from the hyssop branoh,
and it would go soaring into the heavens.
Now open' your eyes wide, ray dear
brethren and sisters, and see that that
first bird meant Jesus and that the
second bird means your own soul.
There is nothing more suggetive than
a caged bird. In the down of its breaet
you,can see the glow of southern climes.
In the sparkle of its eye you can see the
flash of distant seas. In its voice you can
hear the song it learned in the wild -
wood. It is a child of the sky in captiv-
ity. Now the dead bird of my text cap-
tured from the air suggests the Lord
Jesus, who came down from the realms
of light and glory. He once stood in the
sunlight of heaven. He was the favorite
of the lane. He was the King's Son.
Whenever a victory was gained or a
throne set up he was the first to hear it.
He could not walk incognito along the
streets, for all heaven knew him. For
eternal ages he: had dwelt amid the
mighty populations a heaven. No holiday
had ever dawned on the cite when he
was absent. He was not like an earthly
prince occasionally issuing from a palace
heralded by a troop of clanking horse
guards. No; he was greeted everywhere
as a brother, and all heaven was per-
fectly at home with him. i
' But one day there came word to the''
palace that an insignificant island was in
rebellion and was cutting itself to pieces
With anarchy. I hear an angel say: "Let
It perish. The King's realm is vast
enough without the island. The tributes
to the King are large enough ° without
that. We can spare it." "Not so," said
the Prince, the King's Son, and I see
him push out one day under the protest
of it great company. He starts straight
for the rebellious island. tie lands arnid
the execrations of the inhabitants that
grow ID violence until the malice of
earth has smitten him, and the spirits of
the lost world put their black wings over
his dying head and shut the sun out. The
hawks and vultures swooped upon this
dove of the text, until head and breast
and feet ran blood -until under the flocks
and beaks of darkness the poor thing
perished. No. wonder it was a bird that
was taken and slain over an earthen
vessel of running -water. It was a child
of the skies. It typified him who came
down from heaven in agony and blood to
save our souls. Blessed be his glorious
name forever!
, A Clean Bird. .
I notice also in my text that the bird
thatwas slain was a clean bird. The text
demanded that it should be. The raven
was never sacrificed, nor the cormorant,
nor the vulture. It must be a clean bird,
says the text, and -it suggests the pure
Jesus -the holy Jesus. Although he
spent his boyhood in the worst villagp on,
earth, although blasphemies were
poured into his ear enough to have
poisoned any one else, he stands before
the world a perfect Christ. Herod was
cruel, Henry VIII. was unclean, Williain
III. Was treacherous. but point out a
fault of our King. Answer me, ye boys
who knew him on the streets of Nazareth!
Answer me, ye miscreants who saw him
die! The skeptical, tailors ' have tried for
1,800 years to find one hole in this seam-
less garment, but they have not found
it. The most ingenious- and eloquent
infidel of this day in the last line of his
book,, all of which denounces Christ,
says, "All ages swift proclaim that
among the sons of men there is none
greater than Jesus." • So let this bird of
the text be clean --its feet fragrant. with
the dew that is pressed, its beak carrying
sprig of thyme and frankincense, its
feathers washed in summer showers. -0

I remark, also, in regard to this first
bird mentioned in the text that it was a
defenseless bird. When the eagle is
assaulted, with its iron beak it strikes
like a bolt against its adversary. This
was a dove or a sparrow, wo do not know
just -which. Take the dove or pigeon in
your hand, and the pecking of its beak
on your hand makes you laugh at the
feebleness of. its assault. The reindeer
after it is down may fell you with its
antlers. The ox after you think it is
deed may break your leg in its death
struggle. The harpooned whale in its last
agony lefty crush you in the coil of the
unwinding rope. But this was a dove or
a sparrow -perfectly harmless, perfectly
- defenseless -type of him 'w'ho said, "I
have trod the wine press alone, and there
was none to help* None to help! T -he
murderers have it all their own way.

main idea) i that it flew away. Which
way did it tio. When you let a bird loose
from your rasp, which way does it fly?

them this imorning perhaps. You had
them paste day, or thoi day betore, and
although 3U went to be ..going beaten -

But I sup hse when that bird went out
of the priej4t's hands it went by inflections
-sometinnie stooping. A bird does, not
shoot dir 'tly up, but this is the motion
of a bird. So the soul soars toward God,
rising up e love and sometimes depressed
by trial. JIt does not always go in the
direction jit would,.like to go, but the
main co rite is right. There is one
passage ijii the Bible which I ' quote
oftener to' myself than any other, "He
knovveth 1em

Black Watch "gent a telegram compli-

returning -thanks for the good Wishes.
The name Of .the journal Is, of course,-
derived'from the 'by
hackle worn in the
feather bonnet by the old "Forty-and-
twa," this distinction having been given
them by George 111. for their conduct at
Guildermalsen in 1796. The Black Watch
are very proud of this, as all the other
Highland regiments MVO white backlog
and the Forty-twas are further disting-
uhthed by wearing the hackies in their
pith helmets when on foreign service, -be-
ing, I believe, the only regiment in the
British army so favored. In this ore
action I may mention one or two peon-
liarities of other regiments. The Grena-
dier Guards wear a white tuft in the
bearsicin (sometimes called a "shaving
brush"), but have a red band armipd the
forage cap: The Coldstream Guards have
O red tuft, and; strangely enough, a
white band -around the forage cap; where-
as the Soots Gutfrde have -no tuft at all.
The Grenadiers wear their tuft on the
left side, the Coldstreams have theirs on
the right. Then, the Northumberland
Fusiliers are proud of being the only
fusilier regiment Wearing a plume, all
other corps of the kind having, only the
brass grenade in the front of the busby.
As is the case with the Black Watch, the
Fusiliers won' this distinction on the bat-
tlefteld. for at St. Vigie they took enough
plumes fronx the French Grenadiers to
decorate- the *hole regiment. When, in
1829, the _line regiments were ordered to
wear a white feather, the "Fighting
Fifbh" were granted permisnon to wear
one of red and white, and this plume is
still worn. -Sketch.

The Boys Hauled the Professor Back -
sr
Knoll to Their Chagrin.
A. very good story is told of the head
of a college, who was the posseesor of it
very clumsy, old-fashioned vehicle, to
which he was very partial and which he
constantly used in, riding through the
streets of the town, to the disgust of
most of the students.
A plan was formed among some of the
boys that on a certain night they would
renter) this offensive vehicle from the
coaoh-house to a wood about half a mile
from the college. Their intention was to
run the carriage into the thickest of the
woods and underbrush and leave it there.
But the principal by some means
learned or suspected their_ intention.
Accordingly, in the evening, be quietly
went out to the coach -house, and, well
wrapped up, crouched in it corner of the
carriage and waited.
Soon the boys came, very stealthily,
and, without looking into the vehicle,
began their operations very quietly; and
In whispers, and with many a "Hush,"
and "Take care," and "Loole out," they
succeeded in getting it out of the house
and yard and into the road.
There they were all right, but they
were puzzled to find the thing so heavy
to haul; and amid grumblinge and puff-
ings and pantings, varied occasionally
with a strong' expression of disgust, they
succeeded in reaching the woods, the
principal listening to their complaints,
and rather enjoying the situation.
Having with some difficulty backed the
carriage into the brush, they began to
congratulate each other on the 811000SS of
tkeir manoeuvre. The old gentleman,
lotting down the window, to their utter
surprise and alarm, very quietly said:
"Now, young gentlemen, jut take me
back very carefully, if you. please." -
Spare Moments.
Living at Our Best.
Do not try to do a great thing; you
may waste all your life waiting for the
opportunity which may never come. But
glum little things are alwaya claiming
your attention, do them as they come,
from a great motive, for the glery of
God, to win his smile of aPproval, and to
do good to xnen. 1* is harder to peed on
obsienrity, acting thus, than to stand
on the high places of the field, within
the view of all, and to do deeds of valor
at 'which rival armies stand still to gazo.
But no such act goes without the swift
recognition and the ultiinate recompense
of Christ.
To fulfill faithfully the dulles of your
station; to use to the uttermost the gifte
of your ministry; to bear o.hafing annoy-
ances and trivial irritations as marters
bore the pillory and stake; to find the one
noble trait in people who try to molest
you; to put the kindest „ construction 011
unkind acts and words; to love with the
love of God even the unthankful and
evil; to be content' to be it in
the midst of a wild valley of stones,
nourishing a few lichens and wild -flow-
ers, or now and again a thirsty sheep;
and to do this always, and not for the
praise of man, but for the sake of God -
this makes a great life. -F. Be Meyer.

The caribou, or reindeer, of Newfound-
land roam over an, area of some 25,000
miles of unbroken wilderness. They are
magnificent creatures, some of the larger
stags weighing from 600 to 600 pounds.
As might be expected, venison is pretty
plentiful in St. John's market and has
been sold for as little as five cents a
pound.

If tering carne hut once in a century, in-

would be in all hearts to behold the miracu-
lous change ! But now the silent succestdon
suggests nothing but necessity. To inset
men only the cessation of the miracle would
he mirdeuloes, and the perpetual exercise of
God's power Eeeme less wonderful than its
withdrawal would be.

Shorey's Clothing i 4
Is better in style and finish than what I can get
from my tailors.
Of course a large concern like Shorey's
can keep a staff of experienced workmen upon
one class of work from year to year until they
become absolutely perfect, while -a tailor's
hands produce a sack coat to -day, a dress coat
to -morrow and so on, consequently they can-
not be expected to attain the proficiency of
Shorey's workmen.
Shorey's Guarantee Card in the pocket of
every garment shows that thelirm is bound to

The ease of manner and appearance of
satisfaction which prevade a well-dressed
I man arise from a conscious In:low:ledge of
his attractiveness. There's a nonchalant
poise of the head which says : "1
• know that I'm well dressed." His very
manner disarms criticism, and the -most
- flattering -oorupliment to his tasteful
'appearance is a host of imitators. That's
the offect produced by our clothing.
-Maybe it's because the trousers are cut
just right, or because the coat hangs
gracefully, or because the material is
nobby. We can't tell—words aren't
subtle enough to define the something
which makes our clothing distinctly dif-
ferent from the clothing made by other
tailors.
