Withhold! withhold:' We have, heard of jioor workmen or workwomen irettini; a let ter suddenly telling tiietn that a fortune had been left them, and how they were almost besitje thernaelyes witji gleftaking theflrt Up to claim the estate." Bui, on, wiiat It la to wnke up out of th stupor of a sinful life, and through pardoning graoa And that alt our earthly existenoa will ba divinely man aged for our best welfare, and that then all heaven will roll in upon the soul ! Compared with (bat spring morning li lupid. and an August (unset la inane, and aurora has no pillared splendor, and a dia mond baa no flash, and a pearl no light, and a bery no aquamarine, and a ruby no raddi nesa. My gracious Lord ! My glorioni Qod t My precious Christ I Roll over on tu a few billows of that raptnre. And now I ask you, as fair minded men and women, lecustomed to make comparisons, is not luch a joy as that worth more than anything one can have in a jeweled casket ? Was not Solomon right when he said, "Wisdom Is bet :er than rubies?" There ii also something in the deep ear mine of the ruby that suggests the sacrifice on which our whole system of religion de pends. While the emerald suggests the meadows, and the sapphire the skies, and the opal the sea. the ruby suggests the blood 3t sacrifice. The most emphatic and start ling af all colors has the ruby. Solomon, the luthorof my text, knew all about the sacri fice of lamb and dove on the altars of the temple, and he knew the meaning af saeri lela! blood, and what other precious stone jould he so well use to symbolize It as th ruby? Keel, Intensely red, red aa the blood )f the greatest martyr of all time Jesus ol :he centuries ! Iirive the story of the cruel Ixlon out of the Bible and the doctrine ol :he atonement out of our religion, and there would be nothing of Christianity left for out worship or our admiration. Why should it be hard to adopt the Bibli ilieory that onr redemption was purchased y blood? What great bridge ever sprung its Irenes, what temple ever reared its towers, what Nation ever achieved Its Independence, what mijrhty (rood was ever done without aerifies of life? The great wonder of tht xorld.tbe bridge that uaites these two cities, tost the life of the first architect. Ask the ihipyards of Glasgow and New York how nany carpenters went down under accidents vfore the steamer was launched ; ask the hr.-e great transcontinental railroa'ls how nany in their construittlon were buried un ir eruinhiiug embankments or crushed un i"r timliersordestroyed by the powder blast. Tabulate the statistics of how many mothers lave been martyrs to the cradle of sick chil Ireu. Tell us how many men sacrificed nerve ind muscle and brain and fife in the effort .0 support their households. Tell us how nany men in England, la France, in Oer nauy, in Italy, in the United States, have lied lor their country. Vicarious sulTei-ins; s as oi l aa the world, but the most thrilling, he most startling, the most stupendouf iaeritleeef all time and eternity was on a iuiT ba"k of Jerusalem when one lieinir too ipou Himself the sins, the agonies, the per 1 it ion of a great multitude that no man can lu nlier between 12 o'clock of a darkened joon and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, purchaa ji s' tiie ransom of a ruined world. Dive in all the seas, explere all the mines, rowMr all the mountains, view all the rowned jewels of all the emperors, and find 1111 any gem that can so overwhelmingly ivmholize that martyrdom as the rutty, '.lark you, thers are many gems that are .omewhat like the ruby. So is the cornelian. 10 is ttie - iruet, so is the spinel, so is the ilaa, so the "fetus brought fro n among tiie .rave.s of Ceylon an i New South Wal, but iiere is only one genuine ruby, and thai oiiies from the mine of Hiirmaa.

Why should you longer stay? Your work ill done, your burdens ail carried, votir tears all wept! Forwiri into the light ! Cp into the joy 1 Out into the jrandeurs! Aud a ler you have saluted Christ and your UinJreJ, search, out him of he palaces of Le.ianon cedar and tell him hat you have found to lie gloriously true what thousan Is of years ago he assert e 1 in his morniuir's text. "Wis lo. 11 is belter than rubies." In those burnished palacs of our God may ve all meet. For I con'ess to you that my thiet desire for heaven is not the radiance', jr. to take the surge! ion of the text, not the ntoescence of tha soene. My oue Idea of heaven is the .place to-meet o: 1 friends, God, our beet friend, and our earthly irien Is al ready transported. Aye. to meet the millions whom I hav never seen, but 10 whom I have administere 1 in the gopl week by week by journalism on both sides of the sea, ind throughout Christendom, and through . .a is yet Mmibamanc. For the last twenty-thres years every blast if injustice. against me has multiplied my readers ail the world over, and the present naiignaney printed an 1 uttered beeaue our :burih is in financial struggle after having rwo great structures destroyed by fire and ire compelled to build three large churches I say the present outrageous injustica In tome quarters will multiply my audience in ill lands if I can keep in goo 1 humor and tot light back. A gentleman tapped me on the shoulder rummer before last on a street of Edinburgh Scotland, and said, "I live in the Shetland Islands, North Scotland, and I read your ser nons every Sabbath to an audience of neigh ors, and my brother lives in Caps Town, South Africa, and he reads them every Sab atti to an audience of his neighbors." And i hear and now say to the forty millions of :he earth to whose eyes these words will rome, that one ot my dearest anticipations Is to meet them in heaven. Ah, that will be betterthan rubies. Coming ujj from different continents, from different hemispheres, frool opposite sides af the earth, to greet each other in holy love In the presence of the glorious Christ who made it possible for us to get there.

PAER-COVERED NOVELS A Ileal T Mnk? Itotli Iin, Is of the II ashless I'ay Cheap Iteailin? in Demand. There are KOi'd proiits to le made liy cloaiino in second hand l ooks in a city like New York, an.l one dealer has found out how to "eat his cake and have it too," which careful mothers tell the children cannot he done. This dealer, with an eye to the j ennies, will take a piij er-covered novel, published at nil c nts, but which he has bought for .V, an 1 sell it for .'15 cents, with the understand ing that the buyer is to return it when read. When the book comes back lie pays 20 cen s lor it, and puts it lor saie again at 3) cents. The second buyer returns the book and receives 15 cents and for a third time the book is on the shelves, this time market 20 cents. A "fain it coaies ba' k, the reader takes 10 cents anil th book, if by careful pat'diin it can be kept in decent ionditicu, will change owners half a d izen times, leaving to the dealer a j rollt ot a nickel e.cry time it comes to the store, llooks have often, through ca'eful handling, piid200 per cen'. on the original investment and at the end found their way back to tiie shelves of the dealer, who has the pro'ltsand the book. Another system then comes into play. Hooks will be sold on the "two-for-one" plan. In this scheme a buyer will take two books at, say, .'10 ceuts each, paying 40 cents in cash; when these have been read they a-e return able, and too dealer will give any 20 cent book in the place for tho two brought back. When this 20-cent book is returned a 10-cent volume may be taken in exchange, and when this last comes back a nickel and the book will bring out another 10-ccnt I 00k. This process may be kept up as long as the buyer sees fit. The thrifty dealer is always ready for a trade. Of course, it sometimes happens that a buyer in the Urst- instance will keep the book, but as the store caters to a class of customers who can hard ly be termed collectors, but wh like highly seasoned literature, thechanc;: of a diminution in profits in this way is exceedingly slight. In this par ticular I ranch of the second-hand book business the tlemind for l ive stories ami "blood-anil-thunder"' literature is large and steady.

The discoverer of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People certainly deserves the high est tribute that pen can frame. His medlcino has ilone more lo alievinte the sufferings ef humnnity than any medicine known to sci ence, and his name should be handed down to future generations as the greatest savant of the present age. Messrs. Smith, Kline 4 French, the well known wholesale druggists, said that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have an enormous saie In Philadelphia, and that from all quarters coaie in glowing reports of the excellent re sults lo lowing their use. In nearly every case the good work has been accomplished alter eminent physicians had failed and pro iiouured the patient beyond the hope of hu man aid.
