iul.joct: "The Bare Arm of GoL'
Text : "77ie .lord halh made tare Hit ftofj
arm." Isaiah HI., 10.
It almost takes onr breath away to read
some of th Bible imagery. There Is such
boldness of metriphor In my tmrt that I have
lcen for some tlrae retting my coorags npto
preach from it Isaiah, the evanealjgtio
prophet, la sovnling the jubilate of onr
planet redeemed and cries out, ''The Lord
liath mal8 bare Ills holy arm." What over
wbeiming' suirsreivencss In that figure ot
jeeeh, "S be Wo arm ot Ool !" The peo
pleof I'alesttn to this day wear much hinder
ing apparel, and when they want to run ai
special race, or lift a speaiai burden, or flfjbt
n special luttle, they pat off the ontsirla
pi.irel, ns in our land when a man proposes
it ?pf;elriWeTHrti'n he puts off his coat and
rolls up his sleeves. Walk through our
foundries, our machine shop?, our mini,
our factories, an i you All find that most of
the toilers have thoir coats off aal their
ileevs rolled up.
Isaiah saw t tint t here must be n tremen
dous amount of work done before this worli
tec.-)Tis what it onnlit to be, and be fore
ocs it all aceomplisheil, and accomplished
l v the Almighty, not as we ordinarily think
3t Him, but by the Almighty with the sleeve
of His robe rolled back to His shoulder,
"The Lord hath made bare His holy arm."

)avid, inspired in a nijiit song, says so
'When I consider Thy heavens, the work of
Xiiy lingers."
A Scottish clergyman told me a few w eks
ago of dyspeptic Thomas Carlylo walking
out with a friend one starry night, an i as
the friend looked up and said, "What a
splendid sky!" Mr. Carlvle replied as he
glanced upward, "Sa l sight, sad slgLt !"
Not so thought David as ho read the great
S'-riptnro of the njght heavens. It was a
weep of embroidery, of vast tapestry. Go 1
manipulated. That is the allusion of the
psahuist to tiie woven hangings of tapestry
as tli-'y wi're known long before David's
time. Far back in the ages what enchant

the heavens that Go I s Angers wove into

Mnd said they were "turned as the ulaytotiia

Then it started.
Now, just look at the enthroned difficulties
n the way, the removal of which, the over
hrow of which, seem to require the bare
Ight arm of omnipotence. There stands
leathenism, with its 860,000,000 victims. I
lo not care whether you call them Brahmans
lr Buddhists, Confucians or fetich idolaters.
It the World's Fair in Chicago last summer
hose monstrosities of religion tried to make
hemselves respectable, but the long hair
ind baggy trousers and trinketed robes of
heir representatives cannot hide from the
orld the fact that those religions are the
mthors of funeral pyre, and juggernaut
rrushing, and Ganges infanticide, and Chi
lese shoe torture, and the aggregated mas
lacres of many centuries. They have their
leels on India, on China, on Persia, on
Borneo, on three-fourths of the acreage of
nr poor old world.
1 know that tap missionaries, who arc the
noet sacrificing and Christlike men and
aromen on earth, are making steady and
lorlons inroads upon these built up alomi

There, too, stands Mohammedanism, with
Its 176.000,000 victims. Its Bible is the Koran, a
hook not quite as large as our New Testa
ment, which was revealed to Mohammed
when in epileptic fits, and resuscitated from
these fits he dictated it to scribes. Yet it is
read to-day by more people than any other
book ever written. Mohammed, the founder
of that religion, a polygamist, with superflu
ity orwives, the first step of his religion on
the body, mind and soul ot woman, and no
wonder that the heaven of the Koran is an
everlasting Soifom, an infinite seraglio,
abont which Mobammed promises that each
follower shall have In that place seventy-two
wivee, in addition to all the wives he had on
earth, but that no ol i woman shall ever
enter heaven. When a bishop of England
recently proposed that the best way of
saving Mohammedans waa to let them
keep their religion, bnt engraft upon
It some new principles from Chris
tianity, he perpetrated an ecclesiastical joke,
at which no man can laugh who has ever
seen the tyranny and domestic wretchedness
which always appear whore that religion
gets foothold, it bits marched across conti
nents and now propose to set up its ,'llthy
and accursed banner in America, and what
it has done for Turkey it would like to do
for onr Nation. A religion that brutally
treats' womanhood ought ncverto te fostered
ia our oountry. But there never was a re
ligion so absurd or wicked that it did not get
disciples, and there tiro enough foois in
America to make a large discipleship of
Mohammedanism. This corrupt religion has
been making steady'progress for hundreds ol
years, and notwithstanding all the splendid
work done by the Jessups, and the Goodells.

men of whom the world was not worthy,
there it stands, tho giant of sin, Mohamme

man and the other on the heart of Christ,

There stands also tho ar-h demon of alco

bleached human skulls. On one side of that
throne of skulls kneels in obeisance and

cancerous and gangrened foot of this despot

think I have seen in some Christian, an J

Come pulpits a disneartenmont, as though
Christianity were so worsted that it is hardly
worth while to attempt to win this world for
God, and that all Christian work would col
lapse, and that it is no use for you to tench a
sabbath class, or distribute tracts, or exhort
in prayer meetings, or preach in a pulpit, as
iatan ia (raining ground. To rebuke that
pessimism, the gospel of smasnup, I preach
this sermon, Bhowing that you are on the

want to make out to-day is that our ammu
nition is not exhausted ; that all which has
been accomplished has been only the skirm
ishing before the great Armaaeddon ; that
net more than one of the thousand fountains
of beauty in the King's park has begun to
play ; that not moro than oue brigade of the
innumerable hosts to be marshaled by the
rider on the white horse has yet taken the
Held ; that what God has done yet has been
with arm folded in flawing robe, but that
the time is coming when lli will rise from
His throne, and throw off that robe, and
come out of the palaces of eternity, and coma
down the stairs of heaven with ail conquer
ing step, and halt in the presence of expec
tant Nations, and flashing Ills omniscient
eyes across the work to be done will put
back the sleeve of U is right arm to the shoul
der, and roll it up there, and for the world's
final and complete rescue make bare His
arm. Who can doubt tho result when ao
eording to my text Jehovah does His
best ; when the last reserve force of omnipo
tence takesthe Held; when the last sword
of eternal might leaps from its scab
bard? Do yon know what decided
the battle of Sedan? The hills a thousand
feet high. Eleven hundred cannons on the
hil's. Artillery on the heights of Glvonne,
and twelve German batteriei on the heights
of La Monceilo. The Crown Princo of Sax
ony watched the scene from the heights of
Mairy. Between a quarter to 6 o'clock in
the morning and 1 o'clock in the afternoon
of September 2. 1S70, tho nil's dropped the
shells that shattered the French host in the
valley. The French Emperor nnd the J,00O
of his army capture 1 by the hills. So ia this
conflict now raging between holiuesj and
sin "our eyes are uutotho hills."
Down here in the valleys of earth w 3 must
be valiant soldiers of the cross, but the Com
mander of our host walks the heights and
views the scene far better than we can in the
valleys, and at the right day and the right
hour all heaven will open its batteries on our
side, and the Commauder of the hosts of un
righteousness with all his followers will sur
render, and It will take eternity to fully cele

An Ancient Prlnco'j Tomb
Guarded by Bh AnceatM
ONE of the most historic cltie
ia India ia the old and far
famed mogul city of Delhi o
Iotlraprcstba. It was th
Rome of Asia for many centuries, ruling
over millions long before tha diwa of
the Christian era. DAhi was from tima
IrnTteT.orial the city of Indian poten
u.uj, u seat of great strength and power
whose treasure were at once tbe pride
and envy of the oriental world. It was
n city of thrones and palaces, containing
t ic famous glittering peacock throne i
chair of statu which in its gorgeous dis
play of old, silver and precious stones
surpassed, probably, naythinj of its
kind ever kunsra be. 'ore or since. Its
vh'.uj is placed at G, 030,000. Upon
this magnificent throne, placed on a
carved and inlaid marble platfor.n in the
magnificent marble audicuce chamber,
sat tiie most powerful rulers of the ori
ent, dealing out favors and penalties to
tbejr subjects as they lay prostrate be
fore the august sjrereigo. The fiunc ol
this chair atone eventually create 1 Ci
pidity enough to wr.'ck tiie kiu;d'):n.
Delhi, with its wonderful fort, inosque
an J temp'es and the ruins of ancient
tombs, gardens, seiaii and palaces,
covers an acea of about forty-five equate
miles, and presents a remarkable con
trast between the old and the new DjUii.
Here on the banks of the sacred Juoiaa
are the remains of seven great cities,
built in the olden times by as nunj
powerful rulers. Tho Hindu scriptures
declare that a city inhabited for a longer
period than a thoiisand years is cure to
be visited by disaster if not destruction,
hencs the invariable practice of building
new cilics and forsakiDg the old about
each ten centuries.
According to this computation Delhi
or ancient Indraprestha, should be 700t
years old, and perhaps it is, for we fin I
thut Yuclhishthura, one of the first ni-igi
of whom wo have any recorl, was sue
cicded by thirty generations ot hit
family; the next dynasty held the throne
or 500 years; then cunie the Gautamas.
who ruled through the lifetime of fifteen
aovereigns. These were followed by th
Mayuras until nine of them had occnp!ed
the throne, the last of whom, he Rij-h
Pa!a, was conquered by Vikr-imaditya,
of Uijain, in Maliva, tifty-se7cn years
before the birth of Christ. How old
the first city of Delhi really is has not
been determined. Tbe fourth or fifth
city contains the famous pillar of Asoka,
upon whichis an authentic inseriptioi
dated the third century before Christ.
It is of interest to note how well pre
served these ancient tombs- and templci
are in Delhi". The dry atmosphere scemi
to preserve the faintest trace on thi
chiseled stone. Remarkablo nindu sculp
turing several thousands of years old
seems as fresh as though it were finished
but a few years aijo. Many of the in
scriptions in Sanscrit are legible to thii
day.
The ancient pillar of Asoka stands it
the middle of what was once a magnifi
cent three -story building-, rising nearly
forty-five feet. It was brought fro-u
Tophar, at the foot of the Siwalik hills,
where the Jumna enters the plains. It
is a monolith of pink sandstone, no
broken at the top in a serrated manner,
and measures nearly eleven feet in cir
cumlercnce, where it issues from the third
story roof. Its great value lie3 in thi
fact that it bears the oldest Pali inscrip
tion and the oldest written character)
found in India, dating as they do fron
the mlddlo of the third century B. C.
The characters are clearly cut and per
fectly legiblw to this day. The inscrip
tions are noteworthy, as they contain thi
edict of Asoka, which prohibits the tak
ing of life. To think that this great ani
good man, living neatly twenty-tnrei
centuries ago, should have been so fa:
in advance of our boasted civilization
u to prohibit the taking ot life nndet
and all circumstances seems a remark
able commentary upon civilisation. W

age state and untutored minds. Vft

I.amartinc's Audacity.
Thirty years ago even the grcatei
peels were not paid as libtrally for
their verses as the lesser ones are
now. Cine poet, however, had the
audacity to 11 x his own compensation,
and to fecure its payment. The
name of Lainartine, poet, historian,
and statesman, occurs ooly o 'ce in
the back numbers of the Ilevue des
Deux Monde, the proat literary
periodical of Frame, it is appended
to several verses about which the f al
lowing story is told:
At the t!me of the fabulous suc
cess of the "History of the Giron
dins," Monsieur Iiuloz, editor of the
l'evue, begged the poet to contribute
something Id prose for his periodical.
Lainartine consented, making a con
dit:on, however, of an advance pay
ment of 4,000 francs. On receiving
tbe money, as a sort of acknowledge
ment of the favor, he handed the
publisher a copy of verse9, saying tnat
he could print them If he liked as arj
earnest of bis promised articles.
Then carao the revolution of 1848.
One day Lamartlne, then Minister ot
Foreign Acairs, received a call rrom
Buloz, now his bitter enemy. ,lI
have come," said the editor of tbe
Kevue des Pcux Mondes, 'to ask you
to jay me the 4,000 francs I lent
yea."
"Ccrtain.y, with pleasure," an
swered Lamartine, taking four crisp
thsusand-franc notes out of a drawer
ot his writing-table.
Iiuloz, quite unprepared for this
prompt way of transacting business,
faltered, "But then, I owe you some
thing for those verses."
"Oh, that is of no consequence; do
not mention that," said Lamartlns,
carelessly.
"Excuse me, Monsieur le Ministre,
but tho Ilevue des Deux Mondes pre
fers not to be under obligation," said
ihe editor, very stiffly.
"Ah: then the mater is very easily
fad justed; let us call it 4,000 francs."
jind Lamartlne replaced tha notes ia
his drawer, locking It up carefully.

A rather reckless Biddeford man, with
no respect for law or gospel, is said to
have devised a scheme for catching trout
by the wholesale, which did not work as
well as he thought. He thought that a
bomb exploded iathe brook would bring
all the fish in it to the surface, so that
be would onty havo to pick them up.
He provided himself with a bomb power

there were said to be lots of trout. Us

across the field as fast as he could in the
realization of his danger. The man had
the good luck to get over a tence, which

The large wolf of North Amer-cl is
commonly known as the timber or gray
wolf. It was formerly geucrai.j at
tributed throushout North America
from the Arctic regions to) the trop:c,
but has, of course, disappeared from all
settled portions of the country.
Over the larger portion of its ranje
this wolf is gray in color, but in -A-rctjo
regions it is white, or nearly so, while
in Florida and some of the Gulf State,
and in British Columbia black form
exists. Ia Texas there are red or bay
wolves.
Except in its color, the large wolf ot
North America is everywhere the same,
but in Its habits there is more difference,
caused by the circumstances of its
environment. The wolves of the North
feed to a considerable extent oa reindeer
aad caribou, those of the East on deer,
while those of the South prey on deer
and on the wild hog3 which run at large
through the pine forests and swamps. A
fear years ago the centre of abundano
of the gray wolf in Americi corre
sponded very closely with the centre ol
abundance of the buffalo. Great band
of these great and ever hungry animals
accompanied the buffalo herds, killing
calves or old bulls, and souetimea cut
ting out from tho herd stronjr younjr
heifers, which they had little difficult
in pulling down, if they could one;
separate them from the companionship
of their fellows.
Notwithstanding tho fact that ever
since the settlement of America the wolf
has been pursued with gun, traps an!
poison, it is certain that no blow was
ever dealt thi3 race so severe as the ex
tinction of the buffalo. Their natural
prey gone, the wolves turnei their at
tention to the herds of the stock men,
and for years now their depredations
have resulted in very serious losses to
raisers of horses and cattle on the north
ern plain. They do not attack the herds
when they are alarmed and closely
bunched together, but prowl about their
outskirts, trying to cut oft! the young
stock, which they can easily pull down.
Sometimes a small band of wolves will
round up a little bunch of cittle, which
stand in a close circle, their heads oat
ward, prepared for the attae'e. After
circling about theai for a short time tw.
or three of the wolves will dash at thy
bunch, and if they can scatter the ani
mals it is the work of an iustant only t
pull down a yearling or to kill two or
three calves. We have seen two wo.ves
thus destroy a yearlin steer with no
greater apparent effort tuan a setter dog
would use in UilLu a cat. Forest and

The Atlantic Sea Bed.
Proceeding westward from the Iris'i
;oast the oceau bed deepens very grad'i
illy; io fact for the first 230 miles the
gradient is but six feet to tbe mile. Ia
the next twenty miles, however, the fa'!
is over 9000 feet, and so precipitous i-t
the sudden descent that in many placet
depths of 1200 to 1300 fathoms are en
countered ia very close proximity to tti-j
100 fathom line. With the depth o.'
1S00 to 2 JOO fathoms the sea bed in thU
part of the Atlantic becomes a slightly
undulating plain, whose gradients are s 1
light that thry show but little alteration
of depth for 12'JO miles. The extraor
dinary flatness of these submarine prair
ies renders the familiar simile of tiie
basin rather inappropriate. The hollo-v
of the Atlantic is not strictly a basin,
whose depth increases regularly toward
the center; it is rather a saucer or dish
like one, so even is the contour of it
bed.
The greitest depth ia the Atlantic h is
been found some 10J miL-i to the north
ward of the isl nd of St. T homi?. where
soundings of 3S75 fathoms were ob
tained. The seas round Great Britain,
can hardly be regarded as forming part
of the Atlantic hollow. They are rather
a part of the platform baaks of the Euro
pean continent which the ocean has over
flowed. An elevation of tho sea bel
100 f ithoms would suffice to lay bare ;
the greatest part of the North Sea anl I
jom England to Denmark, Holland, Bel

water would run down the west coast of
