Historians are not low to acknowledge the fpent of great military chieftain. We bare the full length portrait of the Cromwell, the Waahingtonsj the Kapnleon and the Well ingtons of the world, History is not written in black Ink, but with red ink of human blood. The gods of human ambition do not drink from bowls made out of silver, or gold, or precious stones, but out of the bleached skulls of the fallen. Hut I am now to unroll before you a scroll of heroes that the world baa never acknowledged; those who faced no kudo, blew no bugle blast, conquered no critics, chained no captive to their chariot wheels, and yet. in the great day of eternity, will stand blither than those whose names startled the nations; and seraph, aud apt spirit, and archangel will tell their deeds to a listening universe. I mean the heroes of common, very-day life. In this roll, in the first plarw, I And all the heroes of the sick room. When Hatan had failed to overcome Job, he said to Ood: "Iut forth thy hand and touch bis bones and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face." Katan had found out what we have found out, that sickness is the greatest tost of one's character. A man who can stand that can stand anything. To be hut in a room as fast an though it were a bastile; to be so nervous you cannot endure the tap of a child's foot; to have luxuriant fruit, which tempts tho appetite. of the robust and healthy, excite our loathing and disgust when it tint appears on the platter; to have the rapier of pain strike through tho aide, or across the temples, like a razor, or to ut tli" foot into a vice, or throw the whole Kxly into a blne of fever. Yet there have been men and women, but more women than men, who have cheerful ly endured this hardness. Through years of exhausting rheumatisms and ex cruciating neuralgia they have gone, and through liodily distresses that raspel the nerves, anil tore the muscles, and paled the Cheeks, mid stooed the shoulders, Uy the dim light of the sick-room taper thev saw on their wall the picture of that land where the Inhabitants are never sick. Through the dead nilcnce of the night they heard the chorus of tho angels. The cancer ate away her lite from week to wook and day to day. and she became weaker and weaker, and every "good night" was feebler than the "good night" before yet never md. The children looked up into her faco and saw suffering trans formed into a heavenly smile. Those who suffered on the battle-field, amid shot and hell, were not so much heroes and heroines ai those who in the Held hospital and In the asylum had fevers which no ice could cool and no surgery cure. No shout of a comrade to cheer them, but numbness, and aching, and homesickness-yet willing to sutler, confident iu (iod, hopeful of heaven. Heroes of rheumatism. Heroes of neuralgia. Heroes of spinal complaint Heroes of sick headache. Heroes of lifelong invalidism. Heroes and heroiuos. They shall reign forever and ever. Hark ! 1 catch just one note of the eternal nnthm: "There shall be no more pain." Bless I io I for that In this roll I also find the heroes of toil, who do their work uncomplainingly. It is compar atively easy to lead a regiment into battle when you know that the whole nation will applaud the victory; it is comparatively easy to doctor the sick when you know that your kill will be appreciated by a large company of friends and relatives; it is comparatively easy to address an audience when, in the steaming eyes and the Hushed cheeks, you know that your sentiments are adopted; but to do sewing where you expect that the employer will come and thrust his thumb through the work to show how imperfect it is, or to have the whole gar xnent thrown back on you to be done over again; to build a wall and know there will be no one to say you did it woll, but only a wearing employer bowling across scali'old; to work until your eyes are dim and your back aches, and your heart faints, and to know that if you stop before night your children will starve. Ah I the sword has not slain so tunny as the needle. The great tttttle-tields of our lost war were not Gettysburg ami Shiloh and Houth Moun tain. The great battle-fields of th-i lust war were in the aixenuls, and in the shops and in the attics, where women made army jackets for a KixMnce. They toiled on until they died. They had no funeral eulogium, but. iu the nnmo of my (iod, this day, 1 enroll their names among those of whom the world was not worthy. Heroes of the new lie. Heroes of the sewing machine.

Heroes and heroine. I find alao in thia roil the heroes of Christian charity. We all admire the Meorge i'ea bodya and the Jamea Lenoxes of the earth, who give tens and hundreds of thousands of dol ars to good objects. But I am speaking this morning of those who, out of their pinched poverty, help others of such men as those Christian mis sionaries at the West, who are living on $50 a year that they may proclaim Christ to tha people; one of them, writing to the Secretary In New York, saying: "I thank you for that i Until yesterday we have bad no mat In our house for three mouth. We have au Tered terrlb.y. My children have no shoes this winter." And of those people who have only a half loaf of bread, but give a piece of it to others who are hungrier; and of those who have only a scuttle of coal, but help others to fuel; and of thoae who have only a dollar in their pocket, and give twenty-five cent to some body else; and of that father wno we it- a shabby coat, and of that mother who wear a faded dress, thattbeir children may be well apparelled. You call them pauHrs, or ragamuffins, or emigrants. I call them heroes and heroine. ou and I may not know where they live, or what their nam is. (iod know, and they have more angels hovering over them than you aud I have, and they will have a higher s at In heaven. They may have only a cup of cold water to give a xmr traveler, or may have only picked a plinter from under the nail of a child' linger, or have put only two mites into the treasury, but the Ixird knows thm. Considering what they bad, they did more than we hare ever done, and their faded dress will become a white rolxi, ami the small room will be an eternal mansion, and the old hat will be a coronet of vic tory, and all the applause of earth and all tho shouting of heaven will be drowned out when Uod rises up to give his reward to those humble workers in his kingdom, and to say to them: "Well done, good ami faithful servant." You have all seen or heard of the ruin of Melrose, Abbey. I supposo in some respects it is the most exquisite ruin on earth. And yet, looking at it 1 was not so Impressed you may set it down to bad taste-rbut I was not so deeply stirred as 1 wai at a tomb atone at the foot of that Abbey the tomb atone placed by Walter Hcott over the grav of an old man who had served him for a good many year inhia house.

I lielieve it to be true, and 1 state It for the sake of truth and of teuiix r.iiico. When i assume mitt three fourths of our mule adults drink, I do not mean to Is- understood that three fourths, or even one fourth of them are intcnisrnte or excessive drinkers, in the popular meaning of those terms. The drunkards, tlio hard drinkers, and the liquor seller fouioiiien con hi noi limner temper nin e prognssfor nn In mr if their elfoits were not upiicm nted by the inlliicnce of the oc casional drinkers. Ti.e great majority of tlioe who drink are occasional drinkers only men who do not drink enough, in their own estimation or the citnimtum of the general public, to do any harm, but who drink iust enough to array their inllii"iicn, as well as their example, on the side of drink instead of ou the sideol t ineraiiiii. If it Isj known that a man drinks cliainpanc mice it mouth, that is sutltcient to destroy his in fluence for temperance. If a man drinks neer once a week, mid it is not publicly known, be does not usually assume the rol'n of a teniHrniice advocate. Hescnrccly feels like asking others not to drink: hedisi not think it exactly consistent to rebuke the man of whom he buys the wine or beer for llipior selling. The iiinet he feels like doing is in a sil. nt way to wish the cause of temperance success, ami In a ipilet way to deplore w hut ue cans ne evns oi intemperance. It is iust these occasional drinkers who constitute the barrier over which the temperance reform does not, ami in the nature of thing cannot para If there wero but two classes, if there were only the in temperate mid hard drinker in one class ami all others were total uhsluiners, the teniierance problem would 1m setllisl at once. We would pas prohibitory laws and enforce them. We would uracticallv sun- press tho sale, and better than all, when the iiresent generation of intemperate and haliltual drinkers died out we should have no more forever, for the drunkard is an evolution; he is envolve.l from the occasional drinker. There is no missing link; the pro cess of evolution is apparent. Now we piss prohibitory laws, if at all, with mighty struggle: we enforce them only partially by the most strenuous elfort;aml, worse than all, the process of drunkard development goes on unchecked. Doc anyone doubt that we could t.ass aud easily enforce prohibitory laws in Con necticut if a clear majority of our citizens were true total al'stainers Add to the present total abstainers the occasional drink ers, mid does imv one iloubt that there would Iw such a majority!

In tho International Congress of Anthro pology, held in tliis city last month, among the pupcrs read was one contributed by Dr. Noi man Kerr, of London, 1 resident of the Society for the Study of Inebriety, upon hereditary Inebriety. The paer, which was read by Dr. Lewis D. Mason, of Brooklyn, awakened much interest. Heredity, it was aflli med, was the most potent cause of those loading to inei riety. "Fully one-half of inebriates," say Dr. Kerr, "have had thi fatal Inheritance handed to them." Again he says: "A morbid state of organ or tissue may descend. Thus, the first child of inebriate Tai ents may lie an idiot, the second an epilep tic, the third a neurotic, and a fourth an ine briate. The heredities are so powerful that the health history of inebriats should lie carefully traced, so that prowr allowance could be made for the physical inability un der which many sutler."

Diseases of Wine Taatera. The diseases of wine tasters were studied by Ponnet, of Bordeaux, and Dr. C Marandou, of Dijon. Wine tutors are frequently suller ingwith disturbances similar to alcoholism, although the claret tatters do not sw allow the wine, but, on the contrary, eject it, and even rime their mouths afterward. In one case of Dr. Donnvt'i, a uiun Si year old used to tuste every day HU or 4U samples of wine, occa sionally liquors and rum, without ever swal lowing any part of them. After two years be became very excitable, lost hia appetite, did not sleep well, and suffered with disturb ances of sensibility, pains iu the breast, a feeling of weakness, ditllculty in breathing. He improved after abandoning hi profes sion, although a nervous debility still re mained, as noticeable by the faoility with which he was set in tear. Another statement made by Dr. Donnet is the great number of apoplexies in Bordeaux, where many persona drink one and a half litres of wiuea with each nieaL This number exceeds the number of apoplexies iu an aiiv of the world. A bushel of corn, costing forty cents, makes four gallons of whisky worth $14 That isn't enough profit, however, and so they make four gallons of whisky out of aolda and drug which cost only twenty-eight cents. A convention of tha W. C. T. Unions of Minneapolis baa declared officially against holding religious banquet iu hotels where liquors are sold. SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON FOH SUNDAY, AUGUST 5. "The nnrnt Offering," It. I. 1-0 Golden Trxt, till. O-Kx-Ilanatory Notca, In this first chapter of Ivltlcu we bar the burnt offering a a bullock, a lamb or kid, and a turtledove or pigeon, but in each case it is said to be "a burnt sacrifice, nn of ferino; made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the l-ord" (Vs. H.IM.I7.) These different grades (so to speak) of offerings were to suit the ability of the xrson ottering: and In the case of the sin offering, if the ron was not nlilo to bring doves or pigeons, he might bring a little fine flour, and Tils sin was aioned for a If he had brought a lamb or two turtle doves or pigeons, (l-ev.v. 7-1.1.)

One evening In a parlor at a summer wa tering place the young people were dancing. One young lady was not taking anv part in tho exercise. "Hoes not your daughtor dance f' asked another lady of this young lady's mother. "No," wss tho reply.

Whut Tlu.1 I Ulvtt I n, "Hut where," it Is asked, "d.)es thi com mon ground end, and tho rolm of tno world beginf" We may be hcl. to an an swer if we .k first at the opp.mite bound ary, and ask where the common ground ends nnd tho domain of tho church Iwgins. What is the gate through which every miti passes who enter thu church Is It not tho confession of subjection to Christ! Withtu that iucliMure Christ is recnguired as su preme. Hi word ia law. His authority ia paramount. Hi sovereignty is undisputed. The man who enters there pledges himself to honor Christ everywhere; and o long as be is whore he can Is) recognized and under stiNslos being loyal to Christ, everything is well. Now with that thought in mind, pass to tho other side, mid wliere now do you find tho world login? It com ineucea at tho point where am.tiicr than Christ is recognized and acknowledged ns ruler. Cull it fashion or plei, uro or what ever else. The moment you nose Into a place wliere, not Jesus, but another, i rec ognifAMl and reputed as the sovereign, you are g'.iit : conforming to the world. her ever the world is acknowledged ax ruler, there, even though in the abstract be might think the placa indifferent, the Christian should not enter. Ucsler's cap in the abstract was nothing at all a mere thing of cloth and feathers; and. In tho abstract, it was a small matter to Ikiw to it; but bowing to that cap ineint acknowl edging allegiance to Austria, and W illiiim Toll showed his patriotism by refusing so to honor It. Tho ques tion, therefore, Is not whether In other cir cumstances the things done in tho world's in closure might not Is) done by the Christian without sin, but whether he should do them there, where his doing them is recoil I as liomiige to the world. Whose ting is over a place of limusementf Whose linage and sil js-rscriptioii are on a custom or pra-t:cel Christ's or tho world's) these are tho testing questions. That which a Christian n liouiici-s w hen he makes conlessionof Christ Is the supremacy of the world, and every time he gin's where ho is understixsl as ac knowledging tint, he Is guilty of treason against the loyalty of Christ, (William M. Tuylor, I). I). Necking- Ciod. Mon have lost sight of Uod. Even the knowledge of Uod ha vanished from whole nations and from continents. The sight of the nations covens! with gross darkness, sit ting iu the shadow of death, and groping blindly in the dim domain of nature fur a touch of their bwt U.sl, "it haply they might feel after him and find him. though, bo bo not far from every one of us," (Acts 17, 2), is most put hit ic. Hut that search after U.sl 1 the source of l'ugiai religious, and their one redis-ming feature, ltoiigion with out revelation would have perished from tha earth were It not for this unquenchable de lire that remains in (ho sad heart of despair ing humanity, to feel after Uod, if Imply it may II ud him. ISlii has robbed u of Uod, but not of the sense of Divine js.wer to help us. We may feel a It we could manage without Uod in this life, tut when the thought of death and beyond overshadows the soul, we fuel like orphans in need of a protector and guide. H i long as that sense of want remains, the altar to the "Unknown Uod" will not be torn down, and when that altar once dis ulnars, then all other altar and fane and idol of 1'agauisui will crum ble and decay. The heart that feel no de sire fur Uod, at any time, is dead. The die chile spoke more wisely than they knew when tbey told the Saviour, "All uieuseek for thee,'1 Mark 1, U7. Hut Uod can be found. Ho Is not far from every one of us. Hi preseuce, though un seen, and often unfe.lt, wra our little being round like the soft, unconscious enswathe ment of air and light ou this glorious May day. True, by our sin we have wandered away from bim, and the bridge aud arches of the road have been broken and destroyed twhind us, but Christ baa opened "a new aud living way, whereby we may come to Uod." A highway 1 there, cast up for the redeemed of the Lord, that lead from every soul to the throne aud to the heart of Uod. Yea, if we but reach out the band of trust, we may touch Him, and in that touch ia life. He ha said, seek, and ye shall tlud; they that serk we early shall tlud me; seek y my face; draw nigh unto w and I will draw nigh unto you; come unto me, ye weary, I will give you rest. And many more are the freat and exceeding precious promises of lis Word, whereby we are mad partakers of the Divine nature. And should anyoue be so utterly lost aud helpless that b cannot find Uod, like the lost sheep, Uod will tad him; U will flud him though the road ba rough and atoep and thorny, and though ha must go to the wllde I desert.
