"Giants" In the Subject of the Twelfth of
the New York Her«l<l'« Competitive
* Serin on H— Dr. Tatmutfe Preiwlie* on
the Style of the Christian Character.
TEXT: "There wero giants in those days."
-■• Genesis, vl., 4.
This text represents the wall of tho mor
bid man who refuses to enter into the ac
tivities of life and finds no fit leadership
among the men of to-day. Ho views tho
men of yesterday, and, by comparing them
with his own nothingness, calls them
giants. Unwilling to follow his rightful
leaders, ho pines for the mighty men of the
past.
If the wall were only tho expression of
dissatisfied donothings In the world it
would be of little nccount; but the cry re
garding the ancient giants has connected
with It an Inference that no giants exist to
day, because thero is no opportunity for
giant life. This pseudo reverence for the
great men of the past carries with it tho
poisonous pessimism that says, "There can
be no giants now." It is discouragement
boiled down and sugar-coated with a pious
worship of ancient worthies.
"Cajsar, Napoleon and Wellington were
great generals, but there never will bo any
more;" "There will never be another poet
like Homer;" "No more orators like Burke,
Pitt and Webster;" "No more preachers like
Wesley, Whitefleld and Edwards;" "No
such statesmen as Madison and Jefferson."
"Thero is no chance for such men to-day,
and no demand for them."
This is a fair specimen of the idlo talk of
men who protend to appreciate the great
ness of the fathers, and with this pious
plaint unnerve the ambition of youth. Were
this simply tho silly talk of imbecility no
protest from the pulpit would bo In place,
but in behalf of discouraged youth I pur
pose to enter an unqualified denial of the
spirit of all this word. Did It not seem
like impious rejection of sacred writ, I
would affirm that there'wero no giants in
those days. Tho men of yesterday were
not so groat as the men of to-dnv.
Physically men aro better thnu ever be
fore. The average men of to-day is too
larg» to wear tho English armor discarded
by giant warriors of a few centuries back.
The collesiaii of to-day surpasses tho
ancient Oiympiau. Cicero and Demosthenes
were giants In oratory by comparison.
Orators wero few and poor at that time, so
these were easily noted. There are better
preachers to-day than Wesley. Edwards is
lar surpassed in truthful presentation of
the word by modern sermon makers. Bis
marck, Blaine and Gladstone overshadow
ancient men in Statecraft. Mncauley tells
us that men usually put the golden age of
England at a time "when noblemen were
destitute of comforts which would cause
riot in a modern workhousa."
So men are constantly placing the age of
mental and spiritual greatness In times
when men were conspicuous not so much
for their own individual merit as because of
the lack of •rdiuury merit among their fel
lows. In a very true sense we may say that
in the light of tho nineteenth century men
there were no giants in those days. There
is a proper egotism which boasts'of to-day,
aud imperiously declares that no such men
lived in the past as our generation has
produced.
Turning from this, we may bow with def
erence to the coming man. Tho youth of
to-day may rise above the best "of their
fathers. Thero was never a greater call for
giants than now; not a giant hero and
there, but a race of giants. Every profes
sion Is crowded with little men and is
seeking for giants. I'l-ofessious. like sky
scrapers, have vacant rooms on the top
roads are anxious for first class men;
L iul offices will glvo handsome salar
ies tci skilful writers; pulpits seek com
manding preachers; corporations seek in
vain for properly qualilUdoounsel; the na
tion calls for better statesmen, the colleges
for hotter teachers, the merchants for bet
ter salesmen, the manufacturers for better
artisans. "Top floors for reut" is hung
out at every corner, inviting boys who are
willing And able to climb the old-fashioned
stairs. There is no elevator for carrying
idle seekers to the top of business and pro
fessional life. Men who work at the head
of a profession or business must have
strength, aud that strength best comes by
toiling up to tho high places.
Giants aro not born, they are made. In
herited adaptability will have some bear
ing, but earned qualities will have more.
Common strength, common sense, common
honesty are the first requisites. The gen
ius of hard work, frugality of time and
power, controlled by an indomitable "I
will," must enter into tho makeup of a
great man. Time, money and nerve pow-
» j r dissipated by young men, not in true
recreation and relaxation, but in idlo loit
ering, would, if truly directed, mako many
great.
Nor will we forget that "Godliness is
profitable." The giants spoken of in Qene
sis were grandsons of God; tho giants of
o-day nro real sons of God. The strong
est men are they that are strong In the
Lord. Jesus is the giant of the age, and
tho nearer related to Jesus the more gi
gantic is man. Christian qualities aro
realizable assets, for Christ rules to-day
more than all earthly potentates. Men
■vho scoff at religion desire Christlike qual
'es in their employes.
'aith, hope aud charity are fit emblems
the market, for commerce and the pro
'lon. Thero aro Calvarys along the
' to greatness; men must bear crosses
v would rise. "It is good for a man
ae bear the yoke In his youth." It is
j than good—it is essential; and the
ist yoke is tho typical emblem by which
may work themselves, by tho grace of
to bo present day giants.

KIND OF PEOPLE NEEDED.
ly Talftiage Describes the Style of
Christian Character Required To-<lay.
J TEXT: "Who knowcth whether thou art
I / come to the kingdom for such a time as
this?"— Esther lv., 14. »
Esther tho beautiful was tho wife of
Almsuerus the abominable. The timo had
come for her to present a petition to her
infamous husband in behalf of the Jewish
nation, to which she had once belonged.
She was afraid to undertake the work, lest
die should lose her own life; but her cousin,
Mordecal, who had brought her up, en
couraged her with the suggestion that
probably she had been raised up of God for
that peculiar mission. "Who knoweth
whether thou art come to the kingdom for
such a time as this?"
Esther had her God-appointed work.
I You and I have ours. It is my business to
tell you what style of men nnd women you
ought to be in order that you meet tho de
mand of the age in which God bos
yiur lot. So this discourse will not d'al
with the technicalities, but only with the
practicabilities. What we want is practi
cal, earnest, concentrated, enthusiastic and
triumphant help.
In the ilrsl place, in order to meet the
! special demand of this ago, you need to bo
•i unmistakable, aggressive Christian,
112 half-and-half Christians we do not want
uv more. The Church of Jesus Christ will
? better without them. They are the
;ief obstacle to tho church's ndvanoe
ent. lam speaking of another kind of
iristlan. All the appliances for your be
■nilng an earnest Christian are at your
n I.and there is a straight path for you
to the broad day light of God's forgive
ss. You may this moment be the bonds
en of the world, and the next moment
ou may be princes of tho Lord God Al
ilghty.
But you need to be azgmssive Christians.
and not like those persons who spend their
lives In hugging their Christian graces and
wondering why they do not make progress.
How much robustness ol health would a
man have if he hid himself in a dark closet?
A great deal of the piety of to-day is too
exclusive. It hides Itself. It needs more
fresh air, more outdoor exeroise. There
are many Christians who are giving their
entire life to self-examination.
This style of self-examination is a dam
age instead of an advantage to their Chris
tian character. I remember when I was a
boy I used to have a small piece in the
garden that I called my own, and I planted
corn there, and every few days I would
pull it up to see how fast it was growing.
Now, there aro a great many Christian peo
ple In this day whoso 9elf-examination mere
ly amounts to the pulling up of that which
they only yesterday or the day before
planted. Oh, my friends, if you want to
havo a stalwart Christian character, plant
It right out of doors In the great field of
Christian usefulness, and though storms
mny come upon It, and though the hot sun
of trial may try to consume it, it will
thrive until It becomes a great tree, in
which the fowls of heaven may have their
habitation. I have no patience with those
flower-pot Christians. They keep them
selves under shelter, and all their Chris
tian experience in a small, oxcldslve clrole,
when they ought to plant it In th» great
garden of the Lord, so that the whole at
mosphere could be aromatic with their
Christian usefulness. What we want in
the church of God is more strength of
piety.
Again, if you want to bo quallfledjto meet
the duties which this ago demands of you,
you must, on the one hand, nvoid reckless
ieonoclasm and, 011 the other hand, not
stick too much to tilings because they are
old. The air Is full of new plans, new pro
jects, new ".theories of government, new
theologies, aod I an< amazed ;to see how so
many Christians want only novelty In order
to recommend a thing totheir confidence;
and BO they vaclllnte and swing to and fro,
and they are useless and thov are unhappy.
New plans—secular, ethical, philosophical,
religious, cis-Atlantic, trans-Atlant(c—long
enough to mako a line reaching Jfrom the
German universities to Great Salt Lake
City. All, my brother, do not take hold of
a thing merely because it is new! Try it by
the [realities of the Judgment Day. But
on the other band, do not adhere to any
thing merely bocai'so it is old. There is
not a single entert'lse of the ohuroh of the
world but has sometime ibeen scoffed at.
Tliero was a time when men derided even
Bible societies, and when a few young men
met in Massachusetts aud organised the
first missionary society ever orgaulzed in
this country thero went laughter and ridi
cule all around the Christian Church.
All the great enterprises In and out of
the Church have at times been scoffed at,
aud thero have been a great multltudo
who have thought that tho chariot of God'a
truth would fall to pieces if It once got out
of tho old rut. And so there are those who
have no pntienco with anything like im
provement in ohurcli architecture, or with
anything like good, hearty, earnest church
singing, aud thov deride any form of re
ligious discussion which goes down walk
ing among everyday men, rather than that
whieh makes an excursion on rhetorical
stilts. Oh, that the Cburch of God would
wake up to an adaptiblllty of work! Wo
must aumlt simple fuet that the
churches of Jesus Christ in this day do not
reach tho great masses. There are fifty
thousand people in Edinburgh who never
hear the gospel. There ure one million
people in London who never hoar the
gospel.
Ab, ray friends, there is work for you to
do and for me to do in order to this grand
accomplishment. I have a pulpit. Ijireach
in it. Your pulpit Is tho bank. Your pul
pit is the store. Your pulpit is the editorial
chair. Your pulpit is the anvil. Your pul
pit is the house scaffolding. Y'cur pulpit is
the mechanics' shop. I may stand in my
place and, through cowardice or through
self-seoltiug, may keep back the word I
ought to utter while you, with sioevo rolled
up and brow besweated with toll, may utter
the word that will Jar the foundations of
heaven with tho shout of a groat victory.
Oh, that we might all feel that tho Lord Al
mighty is putting upon us the hands of or
dination! I tell you, every ono, go forth
and preach this Gospel. You haveasmuch
right to preach as I have or any man liv
ing.
I remark again that in order to be
quallflod to meet your duty In this par
ticular age you want unbounded faith in
tho triumph of the truth and the over
throw of wickodness. How dare the
Christian Churoh over got discouraged?
Have wo not the Lord Almighty on our
side? How long did it take God to slay
the hosts oi Sennacherib or burn Kodom
or shake down Jericho? How long will
it take God, when ho once arises in his
strength, to overthrow all tho forces of
iniquity? Between this time and that
there may bo long seasons of darkness, and
the chariot wheels of God's Gospel may
seom to drag heavily; but hero is tho
promiso and yonder Is tho throne, and
when omniscience has lost its eyesight
and omnipotence falls back impotent
and Jehovah is driven from his
throne, then the Church of Jesus Christ
can afford to be despondent, but never
until then. Despots may plan and armies
may march and the Congresses of the
nations may seem to think they are ad
justing all tho affairs of the world, but the
mighty men of the earth are only tho dust
of the chariot wheels of God's providence.
And I think before tho sun of tho next cen
tury shall set the last tyranny wfll fall, and
with a splondor of demonstration that shall
be tho astonishment of the unlverso God
will set forth tho brightness and pomp and
glory and perpetuity of His eternal govern
ment. Out of tho starry Hags and tho em
blazoned Insignia of this world God wlli
make a path for His own triumph, and re
turning from universal conquest He will sit
down, thegrandestjlhlghest throne of earth
His footstool.
I prepare this sermon because I want to
onoourago all christian workors in every
possible department. Hosts of the living
God. march on! march on! His Spirit will
bless you. His shield will defend you.
His sword will strike tor you. March out
march ou! The despotisms will fail and
paganism will burn its idols, and Maliome
tanlsm will give up its false prophet, and
the great walls of superstition will come
down in thunder and wreck at the long,
loud blast of the Gospel trumpet. Slarch
on! march on! The besiegemeat will soon
be ended. Only a few more steps on
tho long way: only a few more
sturdy blows; only a few more bvttle
cries, then God will put the laurels upon
your brow, and from tho living fountains
of heaven will bathe off tho sweat and the
heat and tho dust of tho conflict. March
on! march on! For you tho time for work
will soon be passed, and amid tho outflash
ings of tho judgment throne and the trum
peting of resurrection angels and tho up
heaving of a world of graves, and the lio
sanna and the groaning of thesaved nnd
the lost,we shall be rewarded for our faith
fulness or punished for our stupidity.
Blessed b« the Lord God of Israel from
evorlastiugto everlasting aad let the whole
earth be lllled with His glory. Amen and
amen.

An English syndicate, whose agents first

practically completed arrangements for
the erection there of a million dollar steel

THE} REALM
OF FASHION.
"Hand HarneM" Made of Genu,
When tha dictate against gloves
went forth, the new "harness" for the
band was evolved from some brilliant
BAND COVERED WITH JEWELED HARNESS.
brain, and it is the ultimate barbar
ism. On every finger is worn a ring,
with emeralds, rubies, diamonds and
any other stone that happens to be
long to the fortunate owner. Even
the thumb has a ring, and all those on
LADIES' DRESSING JACKET.
the fingers are joined together like the
old-fashioned brass knuckle.
Prom each ring there runs a fine
gold chain that connects it with the
large turquoise ornaments in the centre
of the back of the hand, and then the
chains run along through this jewel,
which is set around with large dia
monds, something like a brooch, and
connect with the bracelet beyond on
the wrist. It completely covers the
hand and forms a blazing armor that
will flash and dazzle the eyes.
The harness, when finished and ad
justed, resembles nothiug so nmch as
a glove, the delicate short chains
forming the stitching. Some women
want the harness for only one hand,
claiming it is in better taste, though
both hands may be encased in this
golden chain armor if there are jewels
enough in the family safe deposit vault
togo round.
There is another desigu for the
newest new in jewelry, and that is
made by running the spun gilt chains
from each ring down the back of the
hand to the wridt, and there attaching
it to the bracelet. When this style is
adopted the chain is set with round
semi-precious stones, the topaz, gar
net, carbuncle and some others form
ing a rope or twist where every color
of the rainbow is to be found. Violet,
yellow, purple, red, white, pink,
and green are some of the list that
form tho new harness chains for the
beautiful white hands of the belle and
the bud.
The triple rings that go with thic
affair are curiosities in themselves.
They are evidently made in this shape
in order to faeilitate the donning of
this somewhat complicated bit of
daintiness. Thai is, it is complicated
when the harness is off of the hand
and lying in iis purple satin nest.
The rings when off of the lingers
look like three golden loops, soldered,
as they are, in the making. These
are set closely with gems of every
known variety—the more colors the
better, apparently, and the larger the
diamonds, the clearer the ruby and
the more expensive the sapphire the
better, too.
For those who please, there may be
added to this already glorious vision
of splendor "gold caps" for the finger
tips, These are shaped something
like a thimble, and are closely set with
emeralds and diamonds and all the
rest of the list.
Comfortable Dressing Jacket.
The model shown in the large illus
tration and described by May Manton,
is at once tasteful and wholly com
fortable. The closing is placed at. the
left side, but the jacket is none the
less simple and easy of construction
because of the faot. The broad backs
and under-arm gores are unlined, but
the fronts are made over a fitted, un
boned lining which extends to the
waist. The fulness of the outside is
arranged in gathers at the neck and
again at the waist line, where it is
stitched to the lining. The right side
laps well over the left and is finished
with a full jabot of lace, beneath
the closing is effected. The sleeves
are one-seamed and comfortably loose.
The fulness is arranged in gathers at
the arm's-eyes and again at the wrists
where the sleeves are finished with
simple bands and frills of lace that
fall over the hands. At the neck is a
straight high collar with an upstand
ing frill of lace at the back. The
model, which is of drap-d'ete in deep,
warm red, is finished by ribbon in
clnded in the under-arm seams and
passed across the front only and
bowed at left side; but if preferred can
be passed round the waist.
To make this jacket for a lady in
the medium size will require four and
one-fourth yards of twenty-seveu
inch material.
Spring and Summer Style?.
Open coats of some sort will be in
vogue for spring and summer. There
are numerous indications. One is the
reappearance of the lnunrferable shirt
waist. This article has been shown
principally ill flowered muslin with
colored background. AVith the shirt
waist, of course, the removable jacket
is inevitable. Whether this jacket
will bo the Eton of recent seasons, the
longer coat of earlier summers or the
round waists of this winter, finished at
the belt, has not developed. Nor can
the tailors tell us definitely. They
put forth modes, but this fashion will
depend upon a majority of our well
dressed women. It is a matter of
what they care to accept. Other indi
cations of coming coats are the quanti
ties of fancy veets one sees at the
shops. These vests are usually with
what men call "fussy" front and fitted
back, the latter being of silk or cam
bric, according to the purse of the
buyer. All women have worn these
delusions at one time or another.
I.reetni.
Every woman knows the comfort of
dry ankles, says May Manton. The
leggins here shown can be made long,
LADIES' LKGGI\S.
reaching above the knees; of medium
length, or above the ankles only,
making gaiters, as preferred. Tho
three sectious are joined by means of
curved scams, waich seoure a perfect
tit. The edges are uuderfaced and
the front outside portion laps well
over the back. The closing is effect
ed by means of buttons and button
holes. All the edges are finished
with machine stitching and each seam
is stitched open after pressing. A
strap of the material or leather, as
preferred, is stitched to the edge of
the inside foot portion and passes
through a buckle sewed to the outside
edge, so holding the leggins in place.
To make these leggins will require
three-fourths of a yard of fifty-four
inch m%terial.
Fancy Vesta of Satin Ribbon.
Fancy vests are made of tiny ruffles
of satin ribbon, trimmed with small
gold cord, put on in lattice effect.
Sometimes the ribbon ruffles alternate
with ruffles of fine lace and the effect
13 airy and beautiful.
A Beautiful Olrl'i Affliction.
From the Republican, VersailU ?*, Mi
The Tuckers of Versailles, Ind., lllce all
tond parents, are completely wrapped up
in their children. Their daughter I;- -y, in
particular, has given them much concern.
She is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, hadi>ecome weak and
kept falling off in flesh, until she became a
mere skeleton. She seemed to have no life
at all. Her blood became Impure and finally
she became the victim of nervous prostra
tion. Doctors did not help her. Most of
the time she was confined to bed, was very
nervous and irritable, and seemed on the
verge of St. Vitus' dance.
"One morning," said Mrs. Tucker, "the
doctor told usto give her Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, which he brought with
him. He said he was treating a similar case
with these pills and they were curing the
patient. We began giving the pills and the
next day could see a change for the better.
Dismissed Their Daughter's Case for Hotus.
The doctor came and was surprised to see
such an improvement. He told us lo keep
giving her the medicine. We gave her one
pill after each meal until eight boxes hnd
been used when she was well. She has not
been sick since, and we have no fear of the
old trouble returning. We think the euro
almost miraculous."

These pills are wonderfully effeotlve in
the treatment of all diseases arising from
Impure blood, or shattered nerve force.
They are adapted to young or old, and may
be had at any drug store.
A Cricket Thermometer.
The rate of chirp of the cricket, Pro
fessor A. E. Dolbear notes in the
American Naturalist, seems to be en
tirely determined by the temperature,
and this to such degree that one mny
easily compute the temperature from
the chirps per minute. Thus, at sixty
degrees Fahrenheit, the rate is eighty
per minute. At seventy degrees Fah
renheit the rate is 120, a change of
four chirps a minute for each degree
! of change. Below a temperature of
fifty degrees tho cricket has no energy
to waste in music, and there would be
i but forty chirps per minute.
The longest stretch of straight rail
road line in America is on the Lake
Shore Railway, beginning at a point
three miles west of Toledo, Ohio, and
running sixty-nine miles without a
curve.
