As after a severe storm in the morn- I 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 DR.TALMAGE ILLUSTRATED AN OLD TESTAMENT SCENE. ° Sias That oaly Bleed Can Remove -Mori -- ens Freedom of it Purified Boullhat We Are Taught by the Birds of Ancient ` Sacrifice. Copyright 1893, by American Press Associa- tion.) 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 thou spotless Son of God, impress us with thy truicreencel Firsi-Class Wheels in Every'Respect.

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!

The bird has been dipped; now let it fly away. The next 1hing I notioe about this bird when it wi loosened (and this is the 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? Up. What a e wings for? To fly with.

You had them paste day, or thoi day betore, and although 3U went to be ..going beaten - ward, you. I are constantly- . discouraged. 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 anr frame, and he remebereth that we re dust." • • - - i - There is it legend in Iceland which says that when Jesus was a boy playing with h181 comrades comrades one Sabbath day he made birOs of slay and as these blrds of clay were standing upon the ground, - an old Sadducee. came along, and he was disgusteell at the sport and dashed the birds tapiocas, but ths legend says that Jesus wsteed his.hand above the 'broken birds, ind they took wing and went singing heavenward. Of course that is it , fable aiiOng the. Icelanders, but it 18 not a fable hat we are dust and that, the hand of divine grace waved over us once, we go s, !aging toward the skies. I wish, ,my -friends, thdt we could live in it hither atmosphere. lf a man's whole life obj et is to make dollars, he will be running against those: who are making dollarse, If his whole object is to get apPlautire, he will run against those who are seeking applause.

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.

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.

Yes, 1 see it all now 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.

If you need a rernedy you want one that has been tested for years; not an obscure, un- tried thing that is urged upon you, or on which you save a few cents—that is no consid- eration as against health.
