The Riot of the Elements on Falr Islands
The most disastrous hurricane ever
known in that region has swept over
the Windward group of the Lesser An-
tilles islands, killing more than 500
persons, rendering 60,000 others home-
less, and inflicting a damage to prop-
erty which is, at present writing, be-
yond estimate. Kingston, the beauti-
ful capital city of the island of St. Vin-
cent, was almost wholly destroyed;
the ieland of St. Lucia, the largest and
most picturesque in the group, in ad-
dition to the wind, a tidal wave and
tremendous rains, was injured by nu-
merous landslides; and the island of
Barbadoes, the most windward of the
group, and the headquarters of the
British government in the West Indies,
was ravaged for ten hours, and the
area of cultivation was completely ob-
literated. The destruction was the
greatest on Barbadoes and St. Vincent.
The disaster caused an amount of dis-
tress unparalleled in the history of the
West Indies, and aid was at once in-
voked, —

exe: “The children of Issachar, whieh
were men that had understanding of the
times, to know what Israel ought to do." —
Chronleles xii, 32,
Great tribe, that tribe of Issachar! When
Joab took the census, thers were 145,600 of
them. Jafora the almanmc was born,
through astrological study, they knew from
steller conjunotions all about ths seasons
of the year, Belorsagriculture became an
art they were skilled in the raising of
erops. Bafors polities beoame a soclence
thev knew the tamper of nations, and when-
sver they marched, either for pleasure or
war, they marched under a three colored
flag—topaz, sardine and carbuncle, But
the chief characteristic of that tribes of
Issachar was thut they understood the
times. They wore not like the political
and moral incomnatants of our day, who
are trying to guide 1893 by the theories of
1828. They looked at the divine indiea-
tions in their own particular century. So
we ought to understand the times, not the
times when America was thirteen colonies,
huddled togethar along the Atlantic coast,
but the timas when the nation dips one
hand in tha ocean on ona side the continent
and the other hand in ths ocean on the
other side the continent; times which put
New York Narrows and the Golden Horn of
the Pacific within one flash of slectric
telegraphy: times when God is us dirsctly,
as positivaly, as solemnly, as tremendously
addressing us through the dally newspaper
and the quick revolution of events as He
aver addressed the ancients or addresses
na through the Holy Scriptures. The volos
of God in Providence is as important nas
the voles of God in typology, for in our
own day we have had our Sinais with thun-
ders of tha Almighty, and Calvaries of sae-
riflce, and Gethsemanes that swoat great
drops of blood, and Olivets of ascension,
and Mount Pisgahs of! farreaching vision.
The Lord who rounded this worid #8000
vaars ago and sant His Son to redeam fit
near 1500 years ago has vet much to do
with this radiant but agonized planet, May
God make us like the children of Issachar,
“which were mon that had understanding
of the times, to know what Israel ought
to do.”

The birthday of our ninetesnth century
occurred in the time of war. Our small
United States Navy, under Captain Trux-
ton, commanding the frigate Constitution,
was in collision with the French frigates
La Vengeance and L'Insurgente, and the
first infant cries of this century were
drowned in the roar of naval battle, and
peihient strife on this continent was the
ottest, the parties reading each other
with pantherine rage. The birthday pres.
ent of this ninetesnth century was vitupern.

demolition, and horrors national and inter-

tieth century be met in that awful way, but
with all brightness of temporal and re.
ligions prospects.
First, let us put upon the cradle of the
new century a new map of the world, The
old map was black with too many barbar-

the twentieth century has over what the
nineteenth cantury had at the starting!
In preparation for this coming century
we have time in the intervening years to
give some decisive strokes at the seven or
eight great evils that curse the world. It
would be an assault and battery upon the

THE SALVATION ARMY.
There Is No Discussion of Matters Af
fecting Its Welfare,
The world, as was to be expected,
hag given the salvation army a very
mixed reception, says the Contempo-
rary Review, It has been satirized,
ostracized, eulogized. High and low,
learned and unlearned, have opposed
or defended jt. Huxley girded at its
“corybantic’ religion, and charged full
tilt against its soclal wing; Bradlaugh
waxed wroth over its “drums and
tramplings;" while, on the other hand,
Jowett of Oxford praised it in his own
judicious way, and Farrar ig still the
eloquent champion of much of its
work, ‘“Bkeletons” have caricatured
and persecuted it, the church of Eng-
land has imitated it and royalty
blessed jt. And yet, though all
tongues wag concerning this new, ro-
bustious thing under the sun, really
discriminating views of the salvation
army are by no means plentiful. With
some truth it may be sald that our
enemies batter us and our friends flat
ter us. And the salvationists, looking
through the glasses of our foes, hon-
stly fail to see what
see, and are sometimes almost as much
bewildered the highly
