Her Life.
Mrs. O. J. WooLDsmoa, of Wortham,
Texas, saved the life of her child by the
use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
"One of
ray c en End Crou
ease was attended by our physician, and was
supposed to be well under control. One
night I was startled by the chill's hard
breathing,and on going to ft found it stran-
gling. It had nearly ceased to breathe.
itemizing that the child's alarming condition
had become possible in spite of the medicines
given, I reasoned that such remedies would
be of no avail. Having part of a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave
the child three doses, at short intervals, and
anxiously waited results. From the moment
the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing
grew easter, and, in a short time, she was
glee/eine quietly and breathing naturally.
The child Is alive and well to -day, and I do
not hesitate to say that Ayer's cherry Pec-
toral saved her life."

It 9 as one of the most exciting times
in English history when Queen Eliza-
beth visited Lord Leicester at Kenil-
worth Castle. The moment of her ar-
rival was considered so important that
all the clocks of the castle were stopped,
so that the hands might point to that
one moment us being the most signifi-
cant of all. She was greeted to the gate
with floating islands, and torches, and
the thunder of cannon, and fireworks
that set the night ablaze, and a great
burst of music that lifted the whole
scene into perfect enchantment. Then
she was introduced in a dining -hall the
luxuries of which astonished the world ;
four hundred servants waited upon the
rtlests ; the entertainment cost five
thousond,dollers each day. Lord Leices-
ter wade that greatsupper in Kenilworth
Castle.
Cardinal Wolsey entertained the
French ambassadors at Hampton Court.
The best cooks in all the land prepared
for the banquet; purveyors went out
and traveled all the kingdom over to
find spoils for the table. The time came.
The guest were kept during the day
hunting in the king's park, so that their
appetites might be keen : and then, in
the evening, to the sound of the trum-
peters, they were introduced into a hall
hung with silk and cloth of gold, and
there were tables a -glitter with imperial
plate, and laden with the rarest of
meats, and a -blush with the costliest
wines ; and when the second course of.
the feast came it was found that the
articles of food had been fashioned into
the shape of men, birds and beasts, and
groups dancing, and joustling parties
riding against each other with lances.
Lords and princes and ambassadors, out
of cups filled to the brim, drank the
health, first to the king of England and
next to the king of France. Cardinal
Wolsey pr's pared that great supper in
Hampton Court.
But I have to tell you of a grander en-
tertainment. My Lord, the King, is the
banqueter, Angels are the cup -bearers.
All the redeemed are the guests. The
halls of eternal love frescoed with light,
and paved with joy, and curtained with
unfailing beauty, are the banqueting
place. The harmonies of eternity are
the music. The chalices of Heaven are
the plates; and I am one of the servants
coming out with both hands filled with
invitations, scattering them everywhere;
arid, oh, that for yourselves you might
break the seal of the invitation and read
the words written in red ink of blood
by the tremulous hand of a dying
Christ: "Come now, for all things are
ready."
There have been grand entertainments
where was a tailing off—the wine gave
out, or the servants were rebellious, or
the light failed: but I have gone all
around about this subject and looked at
the redemption which Christ has provid-
ed, and I come here to tell you it is com-
plete, and swing open the door of the
feast, tell, you that "All things . are
now ready'"
Its the first place, I have to announce
that the Lord Jesus Christ himself is
ready. Cardinal Wolsey caine into the
feast after the first course ; he came in
booted and spurred, and the guests arose
and cheered him. But Christ comes in
at the beginning of the feast; aye, he
has been waiting eighteen hundred and
ninety-four years for his guests. He
had been standing on his mangled feet ;
he had had his sore hand • on his punc-
tured side : or he had been pressing his
lacerated temple, waiting, waiting. It
is wonderful that he had not been impa-
tient, and that lip has not said, "Shut
the door, and let the laggard stay out ;"
but he has been waiting. No banqueter
ever waited for his guest so patiently as
Christ has waited for us. To prole !tow
willing he is to receive us, I gather all
the tears that rolled down his cheeks in
sympathy for your sorrows; I gather all
the drops of blood that channeled his
brow, and his back, and his hands and
feet, in trying to purchase your redemp-
tion; I gather all the groans that he ut-
tered in midnight chill, and in mountain
hunger, and in desert loneliness, and
twist them into one cry—litter, agoniz-
ing, overwhelming. I gather sill the
pains that shot from spear, and spike,
and cross, jolting into one patig—re-
morseless, grinding, excruciating. I
take that one drop of sweat on his brow,
and under the Gospel glass that drop en-
larges until I see in it lakes of sorrow
and an ocean of agony. That Being
standing before you now, emaciated,
and gashed, and gory, coaxes for your
love with a pathos in which every
word is heart -break and every sentence
martvrdom. How can you think he
trifles I
Attasuerus prepared a feast for one
hundred and eighty days; but this feast
is for all eternity. Loreto and princes
were invited to that; you, and I, and all
our world are invited to this. Christ is
ready. You know that the banqueters
of olden time used to .wrap themselves
in robes prepared for the occasion; so,
my Lord Jesus hath wrapped Himself
in all that is beautiful. See how fair he
is t His eye, Hie brow, His cheek,
so radiant that the stars have
no gleam, and the morning no
brillaucy compared with it. His
face reflecting all the joys of the re-
deemed, His hand having the omnipo-
tent surgery with which Ile opened
blind eyes, and straightened crooked
limbs, and hoisted the pillars of heaven,
and swung the twelve gates which are
twelve pearls. There are not enough
cups in heaven to drink up this ocean of
beauty. There are not laddety enough
$c scale this height of love. There are
not enough cymbals to clap, or harps to
thrum, or trumpets to peal forth the
praises of this One altogether fair. Oh,
thou flower of eternity, thy breath is the
perfume of heaven I Ott, blissful day-
break, let all people clap their hands in
thy radiance! Chorus! Come, men, and
saints and cherubim, and seraphim and

I have a word of five lettetvi, but ns
sheet white enough on which to write
it, and no pen good enough; with whims:
to inscribe it. Give me the fairest !eat
from the heavenly records --give me file
pencil with which the angel records his
victory—and then, with my hand strung
to supernatural ecstasy, and my pen
dipped in the light of• the morning, I
will write it out in capitals of love :
"J-E•S•U•S I" It is this One, infinitely,
to whom you are invited, Christ is
waiting for you, waiting as the banquet,
er waits for the delayed guest—the
meats smoking, the beakers brimming,
the minstrels with fingers on the still
string, waiting for the clash of hoofs ut
the gateway. Waiting for you as a
mother waits for her son who went off
ten
years ago, dragging her
bleeding
heart along with him, Waiting ! 0!
give nue a comparison intense enough,
hot enough, importunate enough to ex-
press my meaning --something high as
heaven, and deep as bell, and long as
eternity. Not hoping that you cats help
me with such a comparison, I will say :
"He is walling as only the all-sympathe•
tic Christ can wait for the coming buck
of a lost soul,"

Again, the Holy Spirit is ready. Whv
is it that so many sermons drop dead—
that Christen's songs do not get their
wing under the people—that so often
prayer goes no higher than a Imuuter'e
"hullos?" It is because there is a link
wanting—the work of the Holy Spirit,
Unless that Spirit give grappling hooks
to a sermon, and lift the prayer, and
waft the song, everything is a dead
failure, That Spirit is willieg to come
at our call and lead you to eternal life;
or ready to come with the sante power
with whiem he unhorsed Saul on the
Damascus turnpike, and broke down
Lydia in her fine store, and lifted the
three thousand from midnight into mid -
noon at the Pentecost. With that power
the Spirit of God now beats at the gate
of your soul. Have you not noticed
what homely and insignificant inst-u•
mentality the Spirit of God employs for
nsan's conversion? There was a until on a
Hudson River boat to whom a tract was
offered. With iildiguatiou he tore it up
and threw it overboard. But one frag•
meat lodged on his coatsleeve; and lie
saw on it the word "eternity;" and lie
found no peace until lie was prepared
for that great future. Do you know
what passage it was that caused Martin
Luther to see the truth ? "The just
shall live by faith." Du you know there
is one—just one—passage that brought
Augustine from a life of dissipation?
"Put ye on the Lord Jesus Cutest. and
make no provision for the flesh to fulfill
the lusts thereof." It was just one pats•
sage that cony erted llediey Vicars, time
great soldier, to Christ : •The blood of
Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin," Do
you know that the Holy Spirit used nue
passage of Scripture to save Jonathan
Edwards? "Now. unto the King',
eternal, immortal, invisible, the only
wise God, our Saviour, be glory." One
year ago on Thaultsgiving day, I read
for my text, "0, give thanks unto tile
Lord, for He is good ; for Hie mercy- en-
dureth fur ever," And there is a young
man in the house to whine heart the
Holy Spirit took' that text for his eternal
redemption. I might speak of my own
case. I will tell you 1 was brought to
the peace of the Gospel through the
Syro-Peamician woman's cry to Christ :
"Even the dogs eat of time crumbs that
fall from the Master's table.

Eloquent sermons never save anybody ;

body ; plmlosopeieal sermons sieves- save

Sabbath to his pulpit, worn t lit with en-
gagements and the jangling of a frenzm•
ed dour bell ; he has only a text and two
or three ideas, but he says ; "0 Lord,

I may -never meet again. I have not
much to say. Speak Thou through. ray

orator, when the dead king lay
before him,. looked tip and cried :
"Gad only is great ;" and the triumph
of his eloquence has been told by the
historians, But I have not heard that,
one soul was saved by the ora-
torical flout ish. Worldly critics may
think that the early preaching of
Thomas Chalmers was a masterpiece.
But Thomas Chalmers says he
never began to preach until he clone out
of the sick room, white and emaciated,
and told men the simple story of Jesus.
in the great day of eternity it will be
found that the most souls have been
brought to Christ, not by the Bossuets,
anu Dtassilluus, and Bourdaloues but by
humble men who, in thestremgth of God,
and believing in the eternal Spirit, in-
vited when to Jesus, There were wise
slaves—there were excellent ointments,
I suppose. in the time of Christ, for
blind or inflamed eyes. But Jesus turn-
ed His back upon therm, a„d put the tip
of His tinges to His tongue, and thee,
with the spittle that adhered to time
finger, He anointed the eyes of the
blind man, and daylight poured limb
His blinded soul. So it was now that
time Spirit of God takes that
humble prayer -meeting talk, whica
seems to be the very saliva of Chris-
tian influence, and anoint the eyes of
the blind, anti pours the sunlight of par-
don and peace upon the soul. Oh, toy
friend, I wish[ we could ,;set it more and
suore,that if any good is done it is by we
power of God's ouuhipoteet Spirit. I do
not know what hynrii may bring you to
Jesus. I do not know what words of
the Scripture lesson I read may save
your soul. Perhaps the Spirit of God
may hurl the very next text into your
heart : '•Conte, for all things are uow
ready."
Agani, the Church is ready. Oleman,
if I could take the curtain off these
Christian Imearts, I could show you a
great many anxieties for your redemp-
tton. You think that old man is asleep,
because his head is down and his eyes
are Shut. No, the is praying for your re-
demption, and hoping that the words
spoken may strike your hearts, Do you
know the air is fnll of prayer? Do you
know that prayer is going up from Ful-
ton street prayer meeting and
from Friday evening prayer meet-
ing, and going up every hour of the
day for the redemption of the people?
And if you should start toward the door
of the Christian Church, how quickly it
would fly open. Hundreds of people
would say : "Give that man room at the
sacrament. Bring the silver bowl for
his baptienl. Give him the right hand
of Christian fellowship. Bring him into
all Christian associations." Oh, you
\wanderer on the cold mountains, come
into the warm sheepfold. I let down
time bars and bid you come. With the
Shepherd's crook point you the way.

Again, the angels of God are ready,
A great many Christians think that the
talk about angels is fanciful. You say
it is a very good subject for theological
students who have just begun to sernmou-
ize; but for older men it is improper,
There is no more proof in that Bible that
there is a God than that there lire angels.
Why, do not they swarm al out Jacob's

ducted'rLnzm•us upward ? that they stand
before the throne, their faces covered up

Did not one angel slay one hundred and

Again, your kindred its glory are all
ready for your coming. I pronounce
modern spiritualism a fraud and a sham.
If John Milton and George Whitefield
have no better business than to crawl
under a table and rattle the leaves. they
had better stay at home in glory. While
I believe that modern spiritualism is
bad, because of its mental and 'domes-
tic ravages, common sense, enlightened
by the Word of God, teaches us that
out friends in gloryt sympathize with
our redemption. This Bible says idain-
ly that there is joy in heaven among the
angels of God over one sinner that re-
penteth ; and if angels rejoice and know
of it, shall not our friends, standing
among stem. know it? Some of these
spirits in glory toiled for your rederep•
tion. When they came to die their chief
grief was that you were not a Christian.
They said: "Meet me Ju heaven; and put
their hand ont from the cover and said,
"Good-bye." Now, suppose you should
cross over from a sinful life to a holy
life. Suppose you should be born into
the kingdom. Suppose you should now
say: "Farewell, 0 deceitful world! Get
the gone, my sin? Fie upon all the fol,
lies! 0, Christ, help mile or 1 perish? I
take Thy promise. 1 believe Thy Word.
I enter Thy service." Suppose you
should say and do this? Why, the
angel sent to you would shunt upward,
"He is coming I•" and' the angel, puls•
ing higher in the air, would simout
it upward, " He is coming ;''
and it would run all up the line of light,
from wing to wing, and from trumpet to
trumpet, until it reached the gate ; and
then It would flash to "the house of
many mansions," and it would find out
y:.ur kindred there, and before your
tears of repentance had been wiped
from the cheek, and before you had
finished your first prayer, your kindred
in glory would know of it, and another
heaven would be added to their joy, and
they would cry, "My prayers are an-
swered ;. another loved one saved. Give
me a harp with which to strike the joy,

Something About Balloons,
The January number of Time Cornhill
has an article on military ballooning,
giving an explanation of how a captive
balloon is moved without drawing it
down. A man is placed at the end of
the wagon, who guides the connecting
rope so that it cannot get entangled ger
run risk of being cut, and away goes Me
wagon, sometimes at a trot across fields,
and up and down hill, until the balloon
itself is a long distance away from its
original station. When it is desired to
lower the balloon it is not necessary to
wind in the wire rope. A long, stout pole,
in the middle of which is a pulley -when
is laid across the rope, Half a d
men seized theu and
ole
prun it alongt1e
rope, and the weight soon bringthe
balloon down to the ground. It is not
necessary to lower the balloon when it is
required that messages should be ex-
changed between those below and those
above. Sometimes a wire is 'attached,
through which messages can be sent to
a telephone. Another plan is to send
communications down the wire cable,
A little wire hook is fastened around the
cable, and the letter or paper weighted
with a small sandbag, is sent fluttering
down. The human voice, it is added,
can be heard both from a considerable
height and depth, so that verbal come
munloation is not difficult if there is no
wind,
