Miss Nevln and Miss Minnie Appel alto sang duet Following la the fall text of Dr. Tayler's sermon : 11 Samuel v., II : ' Ana let It te when thou bo.retthe;oundof a going In the tepi of the mulberry tree, that ihnn theti ahalt bestir thy.olfjfer Hum shall the Lord go out bnfere thee te Binlte the host el the 1'hllUtlnca. " When David became king and was es tablished In his capital, bla old enemies, the I'hlllstines, were alarmed and made war against him In the valley of Rtphalm, whoretwo great battles were feuglit and wen hy the conqueror of Goliath, lti both easea before going up te them David in quired of the Lord whether he should de ae and whether vlotery should crown the connle. Te the first battle he wai told te go up directly ; but la the 88 con d lie wns commanded te retcn a compass behind them and come upon them "ever against the mulberry trees" ; I. e, aliMk them in the rear and niove only at a signal which nhnnld be given him. That algnal wan "the aeund of a going In the tops el the mulberry troes," ; end when he aheuld hear It, then he must "bestir him self, for then the Lord would go out before him and his nrmy te smite the Philistines." And David did se as the Lord had com manded him, nnd " smete the Philistines from Gebn until thou ceme te Gazer." This narratlve 1680161 us hew Ged and man work together In the world, bow un seen BptrltuAl forces are often combined with human nnd terrestlal agendas for the execution of Ged's plans for hla people and his kingdom In this world; hew utterly dependent the greatest, bravest, meat skillful human leaders are upon the will and the worklngsef that Providence "which Bbape' our ends ;" and hew necessary It Is te success In any geed undertaking te heed tbe signals, and te bestir ourselves te fol fel low the leadlnga et our dlvlne deliverer. Listen new te some very plain and practi cal suggestions from our theme : 1. Toe first great principle heretausht us Is that or the real relations of Ged and man. "It Is He that hath made us and net we rurselves." "We are the Bheep of His pas. ture and the people of ilia care." "In Him we live and meve and have our being." He la our creater, prcBorver, benefactor; our lawgiver, our Judge and our king. The Blble doctrine et Provldence la founded upon these eternal relations which are re vealed In His word, illustrated by almost endless poetie Imagery, Illuminated by Ills premises, andembodied In Hit laws. Hut the grandest manifestation of the bends that unite us with Ged centre In the person and cresn of Jesus Christ and in the work of redemption, where the seen and the unseen, the natural and the spiritual, tbe temporal and the eternal are combined In ene vast system of agenoles for the con summation of the purposes forwhleh the Sen of Man came Inte this world, Buffered and died for us, finished Ills work, rese from the dead and ascended Inte heaven. Ged is in history ; Ged is in providence ; Ged IB in redemption ; and in Jesus Christ we have " Oed with us." And the Hely Spirit la the evor-preseut in-dwelling, divine, al mighty Beurce of all spiritual Ufe and pro pre arena and power In this world. But this Is net all. There are spiritual things, spiritual beings, spiritual forces, gifts and operations which are peculiar te this organized Bystem of the dlvlne admin istration. "The powers of tbe world te come " are oentlnually werklug In and upon up, for nnd against us, whether we will or will nor. As Mtlteusang " Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth unseen both when we wake and when we sleep." We have come unto Mount Slen, and onto the City of the living Oed, the heav enly Jerusalem, and te an innumerable ceuipauy et angela, te the general assembly and church of the tlrst born that was written in hoaven and te Ged thejudgeetall, te the spirits or Just men made perfeet, and te Jesus the mediator of the new cevenant and te the bleed of sprinkling thatspeaketh better things than that of Abel." Thore are authorities, principalities, powers, mights, dominions, tnrenes, sera phim, cherublm, angels and archangels, mlnlstering spirits sent forth te minister te them that shall be the heirs of Ralvatloe. And these are arrayed with Christ and His saints ngalnst satau and his angela and all the powers of darkness. "Fer we 'wrestle net against Hush nnd bleed, but against tbe world rulers or this darkness, against spiritual hosts et wickedness lu the heavenly place?." In this great warfare we cannot te neutrals, nor neu combatants. We pre en tbe Lord's slde or acalnst Him. And the relations we held te Ged In this world will determine our relations te Him In tbe world te come. Amid thope surroundings and In this oenillct, our text suggests that we have ti. Thn nromlseef Ged's own guidance end help upon condition that we shall lu lu qutre uf Hlin and de Ills will, as David aid before lie fought the Philistines. Bath battles were feuirht and wen In answer te prayer, under Dlvlne directions, end Its own fHpsrate manner. And ai the I allies were the Lord's. Hern, new, Is our wisdom. We must net go into our Ufe battles in our own strength. We must net our marching orders, pimis, and signals from the Lord of hosts. We should in quire el IHra ter each separate centl.ctand cot our answers upon our knees. Prayer is a constant eloaient in this warfare. It calls forth our faith, glvw courage, strengthens character, reinforces the will, keeps our whole armor brlRht and strong. There Is nothing tee great, nothing tee small, noth ing loe simple, nothing tee complex, for us te pray ever. Man's extremity is Ged's op pertunlty ; and " the throne of grace Is the seat of all power and authority for all who tesk the Lord. " .... ill. The third teaching of our text Is we musi watch for our signals and then bestir eurselvM te de the Lord's known will. Face te face Btoed tbe two armies en the valley of Kephalm, eager for the fray. Hut Davld.tbe klng.mu.t net go eui te tlghtthe Lord's bailie until wbuiviuebiu ej.j........ And then he must net attack the lee in front as before, but he must "fetch a com pass behind them ever agalnBt the mul beiry trees" and stay In their shelter until the sound of age'nir should be lnard In tbelrteps. David did net see the Lord's iest, as did Ellsba's Bervaut when "the Lord opened tbe eyes of tbe young man and beheld the mountain was full of horses and chariots of flreareuud about Ellsha." The Bound that David heard was that of the unBOen hosts whose movement put the Phlilst neste niguieiui""'"""'5,7"u smote them Irow Geba unto Gazer. When fled Elves "me signal let his reeple bestir themselves and let Ills enemies fear and tremble and fiee away. When you inquire ettbe Lord for direction and help wall for the answer, stand in your let, bide your time. And when Providence epenB the gates et opportunity, then bestlr yourselves and go through aud march onward wher ever the Lord shall lead. When the battle is fought fellow up and tlnish the victory. 1. In temporal and secular things auoeess cnerally oetnes te these who knew hew te lereC5st the probabilities and bow te seize tbe opportunities that open before them. They are the men or tbe times-statesmen, warriors, capitalists, great merchants, rail way magnate, pioneers of civilization, In ventors aud discoverers, leaders of thought, enterprise and action, founders et Institu tions, cities and empires. They are saga cieus, lai-eigntee, ueiu, ixuiupi, uuiu men, who see their signs, form their plans, take the risks, bide their time, and clear tbe track for their own aud for future gen gen gen oratiens. Meral reforms,. se-lal progress, the vexed problems or political economy and et (Lerernment usually tegln with sin gle Individuals, who thunder and blaze away at existing evils, often single banded and alone, amid obloquy and persecution, cntU revolntiecs fellow In tnefr track and the Philistines of the age ere smitten down before them. 2. Bat the principal end the best lessens of our subject are for the religious lire. (1). At its beginnings Provldenee and the Hely Ghost work together with ell the power of divine urgency for the Miratien of individual souls. Religious experience is crowded with memorable conjunctions ei events, ordinary end extraordinary, which were the turning points of character and lire which cannot be accounted for by any natural laws of the human mind. Peo ple who have lived many years In sin and wickedness; geed moral man end women, end bed, Immoral men and women, and geed and bad boys and girls, have been suddenly stepped In their evil ways, com palled te think of their sins, their danger, and their need of pardon and salvation ; have been led te aeareh the Scriptures, te Sray end te confess their sins and their avleur, and hare become se completely revolutionized In thought, prlnelple, feel, lng and oenduof, thst they have become 'new creatures In Christ Jesus." The starting points and the ways In each case have been different, but they have all le 1 te theore'B of Christ It may have been a fit of aickness, the less et some relative or friend, or of property and business ; It may have been "a word In season," a book, a catechetical question and anawer from our geed old Heidelberg, a tract, sermon, a text of Scripture ; symbol or perhaps It was a audden, Irreprenlble overpowering oenviotion of sin, of rlghteousness and of Judgment ; or the prodigal's hunger and thirst In the lamlne smltten land ; It may have been some strange dream or vision or midnight cry some great calamity, or the Btlil amall voice " of Him who was " net In the earth quake, the great, strong wind that rent the mountains or the tire." But whatever It rriiy have been, It was the signal te bestir ene'a self. It was the aeund of a going that made you go. It waa the battle cry tf the hosts that were lighting ler your soul. And you went Inte the conflict and you came ent of It a victor, because the Lord went be fere you. There tmy be some new present who hear that sound of a going " of celestial forces and spiritual powers above aud around and within you. It is the signal of your opportunity, and friends, bestir youraelves at once. Act upon your knowledge. Lest opportunities may never be recalled. There is peril In delay, ruin In disobedience "te the heavenly vision." Yeu mey never again havosuen a favorable conjunction et Provldenee and the Spirit's movements for your salvation. "New Is the accepted time new la the day of salvation." (2). Bnt these principles find larger scope for the subsequent couree of religious life. Every Christian character Is the product el two great forces, Providence and the Hely Spirit, which are ever at work in Christian experience. We cannot if we would, get rid of the supernatural that la above and around and within us. We peer into the future with our peer dim eyes.and dosplte eurselve, we give no llttle heed te peeple who profesa te knew mero of it than we da And this Is the fundamental secret of the epldemle successor modern spiritual and ether htreng delusions which carry away multitudes who reject Christianity. But someone Bay b: "Hew shall I knew my signs T I hear no supernatural Bounds, as David did. I see no divine signals like banners In the air, or new stars in the sky. Whereby shall I knew that Ged calls me and works In and through me 7" Let me counsel with you upon this per plexing point. 1. De net give way te your own unsup unsup perttd fancies ana Impressions of Ged's will concerning you. De net expect new revelation i specifically directing you In paths of belief and practice. An eminent Mettedlst mlnlster of the last generation en one of his preaching tours in Canada, in the depth of winter saw a solitary house tar f i eaa the read way, almost burled In the snow ;and although hastening te his appointment, and be had passed the place, yet se strong waa bla Impression that he ought te step and deliver bis message te the lonely eccuptnta that he anally gve way te it as if It were an Inspired call, de be went back, struggled with his Jaded beise through the pelting storm and the deep snow drifts ; and find ing It closed, he aheuted te its Inmates te open the deer,but no answer came. Finally he dismounted, opened a window, and found " that it was a deserted heuse ; and that the only hearers were fasting rats." Tbe veteran thus learned, as he said, "a val uable lessen never te fellow Inward lm pulses that could net bnrlearly Justified by his common sense." O, hew many a Ute failure and what waste of talents, money, strength and labor might be saved by tbe possession and exerclBO of sanctified com mon sonse in religion and In Christian and e "lurch work I But nothing Is mere dostruo destruo dostrue live of UBelulntss than this unreasoning, Impulsive, self Insplred, delusive Idea of following out auch greuudleai impressions of Ignorant fanatlelsm. 2. Hew then may we discern the real sound or a going in I he tops or the mul berry trees that skirt our battle-field ? A few practical suggestion! may Bufflce for this occasion. Study yourself and your prebable tltness for your ealllng-whatever It may be aud re quire. Study your previdences, which may help or hinder you upon that calling. Study your Immediate surroundings and begin wbere your arewitheut seeking dis tant fields In unknown regions and In spheres that are above you. Be content te fellow en, step by step, from one thing te another as tbe Lord shall open tbe way and lead you forward. If you fall in one attempt, try again ; h you have missed your way at first, try an other and make capital out of your fail ures, a wise and successful Christian worker once eald : " The one great thing Is te begin, aud Ged alone ran tell where venr work will end. It may be In the pul pit, or in the mission Meld, at the ends of tbe world or around your present home ; but ene thing be sure or, It will end at the gatoet heaven, amid tbe acclamations of souls raved forever by your help. " And a living poet, In tbe sa me strain sings these wise words of Christian courage aud blgh endeavor. 11 Loek then far Inte the f utaie, JTar buy en a nut emh una sa; Beek tOBhew thyielf here dally What tbeu hepent seen te bn lie net selfish ; earth's great sickness Ntedeth sell-denying men Te ke forth among the dying And te soetbu ihu bed. of pain. Tbe Old and New Testament say much that is strange and memerable et the call ing of men by Ged blmseir te elllces of tbe highest honor and power. Thore is some thing awfully uiyBterleua and sublime In this way of singling out individuals, one of millions, te receive and execute Ills com mands in the earth ; te te In the stead of Ged te His peeple and His enemies, te be His ministers et blessing and or wrath te na tions, te rebuke kings and revolutionize na tions, te stand between tbe living and tbe dead until tbe plague be stayed, and te be tbe deliverers of oppressed peeples from tbe greatest tj rants that ever reigned. We need net new such supernatural calls as Ged made uen Neah and Abraham, Mosea and Jeshua, Aaren and Zerubbabel, David and Nebemlah. The Christian calling brings all believers Inte tbe service of Him who hath loved us and given Him self for us and who hatb made us kings and priests unto Ged and bis tether. Tbe irimmve unrisiians eeueveu uu iumr tearta In tbe unlveral priesthood or all believers every one or tbem being called te oensenrate themselves and te eiler spirit ual sacrifices te Ged with which he Is well pleased. But tbe question et a call te tbe ministry of the gospel in our tlme is necessarily a matter ler sueh watching for divine signals In each particular case as 1 have endeavored te set forth before you according te Provldenee and tbe word and tbe spirit of Ged. Tbe field is tbe world, and tbe ohnreh la pushing her way ever tbe great world field with sueh vigor and awlftnesa that no laborer need stand Idle In tbe market place" at any hour. But there are special occasions ana cans for service for which tbe signals are aound aeund Ins in every wind. "The Philistines be upon us." Revealed and supernatural re ligion are assailed by mighty fees who defy Israel and Israel's Ged. A great war Is waging with all tbe antl-Cbrlsia et tbe age. But tbera Is a battle-cry from the sky that Is rallying and combining into solid phal anxes all of tbe forces of Christendom for tbe conquest of the nations, with unexam pled energy and upon the widest scale of operations. The organized Christianity et nWr irifvi Is rlshtlv strBtesslve and splen- 1 ttiaijr equipped ler the IrgMt OYangelliUJ movements end reformatory e deits el this outgeln g century. Never has I h re been field ter Christian heroism, consecration and endearcr within the last flay jeais greater than that whlohnew opens te the soldiers of the cress, "Den thn purple, den the armeri Take the helmet and the ahielu, Prep the garland, seize the wntren Make thee hastu te take the fleia. rear no foemen, be tbetr number Like the leensia In their ntiht l lie who leads thee It a Captain Who has nerer lest a fight " Deer young brethren of the graduating el ass. "Whokneweth whether ten dare en me te the kingdom for lucn a time as this?" Yeu have heard and obeyed the double call of your rlaen and ascended Lord first te be his and then te become bte ministers te your fellow men. Let ethers say what they will and deny what they dare te dis believe, yen can say, each for himself : "I've seen a band you cannot see. That beckons me away i I e heard a voice you cannot hear, IhatblOa me net delay." Ne rational latte :eil petit of this skeptical age can atlr your souls like that aupreme commander at whose summons you are new oemlnglnto the service et Ged In your generation. The Bohemians have a legend that wherever Zlaka's drum which wss made of the tanned akin of their Illustrious here was beaten, their victory waa assured by the unseen spirits or their ancestors who thronged every battle-field end before wnem their enemies leu aeaa upon ine field. A nobler enthusiasm kindles In your breasts, at the eall of your great Cap tain and who loved you and gave Himself for you, and who has counted you faithful, putting yen Inte the ministry. Yeu are coming te the front at greet Juncture of great eras in tbe kingdom et Ged. These dosing years of tbe nineteenth century Indicate the approach of erlals in tbe history of tbe world and of the ehurch of Christ, ler whleh great prepara tions are making among all na tions. And the outlook Is net dis couraging. If the powers of darknees are massing together, se are the powers of Christ and of the world te come against tbe common fee. When Ged wants heroes and herole ranks te fellow tbem, He knows where te get tbem. "When the enemy cometh in like a Heed tbe Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him." Who knewa what saintly workers and martyr spirits anu great leaaers ine iera nss in keeping for the coming crisis of the world, among the mere than two thousand young students of our American colleges and sem inaries, who have pledged themselves te the foreign mission service, whenever end wherever Ged shall open the way befere themT Who knewa tbe length end tbe breadth, the helghtb and tbe depth of the Divine purposes In these large movements for Christian and church union in evangel evangel lstle and eoelealastloal work which hare taken held of modern Christendom? Ve you net hear tbe Bounds of a going In tbe tops of tbe mulberry trees the signals et oncoming battles and victories the as surances el Ged's blessing upon works et faith and labors of love, and loyal obedi ence te his aupreme commands T Hear ye net the challenge from the skies te bestir yourselves te Jein the ranks, te layaalde forever all narrow prejudices and secta rian bigotry, and selfish feelings, and te fall In with the sublime plans and movements et the kingdom et Ged 7 Should it please tbe Lord that our two Kefemied cliurcLei aball become one by Ills grace and In the spirit of Christ (Si trust and pray they may then listen for another and louder aeund or a going or heavenly forces with our earthly ranks, and bestir yourselves, for the larger work nnd tbe greater aervlee that will fellow. It will be no sentimental, nominal, ceremo nial union, but one that will eall forth the utmost wisdom, zeal and faith and works of the united cbureb. And then it will be only a step forward testlll greater unity and co-operation, net only among all branches of tbe great family of " Reformed churches holding tbe Presbyterian ays tern," but among all ether ovangelleal churches for the salvation el tbe world acd tbe glory or Cbrlst. The " burning ques tions " of our times transcend all tbe little nesses et denominational rivalries and tbe petty schemes of ecclesiastical ambition, The Hely Catholie church of Ged la far larger, better and mere Important than any of the separate communions at their best estate. Thore was solemn warning as well as rlghtoeus irony In Lord Macaulay's striking saying that be had "lived 103 long in a country where tbe people worship cows te care much for tbe divisions of tbe churches In Christian lands." Between the solid front of the pagan world, the imposing ranka of tbe Papal, Greek and ethor oriental hierarchies, with Islam en the ene aide and modern skepticism et all grades en the ether aide the forthcoming Evangelical ministry of this age must be deal indeed If they heir net and heed net Ged's call te bestlr them selves ter the impending crisis. In this great con Ulct we Americana will be Involved as certainly as we exist and te the full extent of our civilization and Christianity. Leng age we began aetlvely te fulfil tbe prodlctien of Jonathan Edwards, made in a notable ebapter of his great worK-'Tue History of Redemption" that tbe next grand movement of the Hely Spirit for the conversion of the world would probably begin in this country. But this la net all, for we are new racing Berne of the gravest preblema of tbe Chris tian civilization of the age ; preblema of city lire, and republican Institutions Involv ing their character and existence as well as the morals et tbe peeple and the perpetuity el tbe Union. We are en trial before tbe nations and the Ged or nations, and in this trial the religion and the churches of our land are essential factors. Tbe churches may survive the republic, but believe me, tbe republic cannot survive the churches. And therefore, young brethren, forget net that tbe salvation et America la net merely for the salvation et tne republic, dui rerine salvation of tbe world. If this be net se, then are we as a nation making the laat experlmint of an exhausted humanity ter '-government or tbe people, by tbe peo ple and for the people."

A apzclal meeting of tbe Lancaster Bar association was held this morning with President H. M. North in tbe chair. Tbe prealdent stated the object of the meeting te be 10 oensldor n communication from the Bar association of Washington, D. C, In reference te the formation of a National association. The proposed association would net be antagonistic te the American association whleh meets annually at Saratoga. In hi Judgement the pro poned national association would be bene ficial te the members el the Lancaster bar, for It would bring them In contact with lawyers from all parts of the country. The object et the association la te de whatever la beneficial for thn country and prometoand advance the profession, 'there are seme legal proceedings that should be uniform In all the states. Among thorn may be noted aoknewloJgoinonts et deeds, marrlage and divorce, and wills. Mr. Brubaker meved that II ve delegates be elected te ropresout tbe association at Its meeting en the 22 1 Inst,, at Washington. Mr. Brealua meved te poatpeno action until the uext regular meeting of the Bar association. The attendance at this meeting was net large eneugh te warrant the asso ciation In deciding te be reprosentod by delegates, Mr, Brubaker oppesod postponement. This association should be represented nt the first meeting or the propesod National association. Mr. Atloe, en first thought, favored a postponement of the election of dol del dol egales, but new he was convinced that delegates should be sent. Among tbe evils this national association aheuld take stepB le remedy was that of divorce. Aa the lawn new are they are a dlsgrace and legislation aheuld be onaetod which would make a divorce mero difficult te be aecured. If the association doei nothing mero than remedy this evil thev will have aoeompllshod a great work. He thought delegates aheuld be sent and Irem thelr reports this Bar association would then doeldo whelher It would be ter thelr beat lutorcstnte oenneot thomselvos with the proposed association, Mr. Neith argued that overy ehurch, organization and business had Its national association and thore was no reasen why tbe Lar el the country aheuld net have ene. There waa no reasen why the Lancaster bar should laolate Itsell from the profession throughout the country.
