Talmaje Tells About "The Hare Arin ol God." With the return of Rev. George H. llep worth to New York from his Armenian mis sion the Herald closed its series of competi tive sermons, llfteen altogether having ap peared In its columns on consecutive Sun days. Br. Hepwortli resumes Ills regular Sunday sermon as the lending editorial in the Herald's columns. Tho first one Is en titled "An Ennobling Faith," aud appears below in full. TBXT: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, things not seen."—Hebrews, xl., 1. On a bitterly cold day I was recently rid ing with n comrade through one of the most exquisite bits of scenery on the ;face of the earth. We were toiling up the last spur of a mountain so high that the clouds would have rested on its summit had there been any in the sky. But the heavens were cloudless, the sun shone in dor on the snow covered ridges which sur rounded us on all sides, and we seemed to have left our little globe behind us and to be on our way to another world. Naturally wo talked of that Great Be yond, which was nppnrently.not far distant. Conversation under such circumstances must needs be serious. Ono cannot be tri vial when he is looking on the grandest of God's great works. It was a time when souis were in close relations! to each other; when inmost thoughts came to the lips and uttered themselves almost unconsciously, as In soliloquy. My comrade spoke freely of a loss ho had suffered. A little child had been called from the family circle, thad sped away in the night and gone where no human eyes could follow her. With a broken hoart, but still In somewhat stoical language, he re ferred to that vacant chair. "Gone! gone!" was his despairing exclamation. I listened to the story, and at its close quietly re marked: "Yes, gone, but not gone far! In the brighter land you will see h»r again." Then we lapsed into silence, a silence only broken by the sound of the horses' iron shoes on the crisp and 'rozen snow, i "If I could believe that," he said after a little, "nine-tenths of the burden would be removed. But to feel that such farewells are forever, that is very hard," anil the strong man trembled with suppressed emo tion, while tears made it impossible to con tinue the compensation. I thought to myself tint after all this world is of very little importance unless we have another world to look forward to. What makos the present life endurable is a lirm and unshaken belief in another life. If love can die, then love Is only prolonged agony; but the conviction that love can never die strengthens, broadens and en nobles the soul. It would bean act of unspeakable cruelty on the part of God to teach us how to love, to place us amid circumstances in which love develops all that Is chivalrous and grand, and then tell us In the supreme mo ment of parting to say goodby for time and eternity. The Lord's" Prayer would become an impossibility, nuy, more than that, a grim sort of farce, nnd in his innermost depths a man would not only rebel, but lose his self-respect nnd Ills respect for tho laws of the universe. It is clear that it would have been so much better to make him inoapable of affection thau to annihi late the object of his affection, and bid him go home from the churchyard a despairing, hopeless creature. Faith can do so much for a man, Is so necessary to his spiritual and even to his physical well being, that if you tako It away he is in a worse plight than the animals of the fields aud forests, for he appreciates his loss nnd they do not. To be born a dog aud to die a dog is one thing, but to bo born a man and then die like a dog Is something which a just and omnipotent Creator will not ask of us. It is so unliko what we have learned of His methods that we are quite right in pronouncing such a state ment libellous. Your faith in Providence Is thebc3t of all your possessions. It Is worth more to you than your fume, your social position" or your wealth—worth more than all else combined. Give me in my relations with God that mysterious something which tho child has for its mother—a feeling that He knows who anid what I am, that at my call He will cornel to me—that overy day He leads me and ivery night protects me—and there is very little more than I can ask or desire. I have the one best thing in tho world, and therefore am content. Tho plant hnt has sunshine aud dew will blossom efore the frost comes, and with God, the i ,un of my soul, to shine on me, I shall n't only blossom into noble thoughts, but iear the fruit of good deeds. >. man become, a miracle worker from the moment when he is conscious of God's presence and h ve.

Dr. Telia What It Will Ac compllalt. T: "The Lord hath made bare His rrn." —Isaiah ill., 10. lmost takes our breath away to road Bible imagery. There is such bold of metaphor In my text that ono must y Ills courage to preach from It. Isaiah, evangelistic prophet, is sounding the J ""te of our planet redeemed, and cries '' >' wS k° r hath made bare His holy mt ov erwhelniing suggostiveness . , ii? ure 01 s Peeeb, "the bare arm of 1!'

There Is such a reserve o£ power. He has moro thunderbolts than He has ever flung; more light than Helms over distributed; moro blue than that with which he has overarched the sky; more green than that with which He has emer ulded the grass; more crimson thau that with which He has burnished the sunsets. I say It with reverence—from all that I can see, God has never half tried. "My text makes it plain that the rectifi cation of this world is a stupendous under taking. It takes more power to make this world over again thau It took to make It at llrst. A word was only necessary for the (lrst creation, but for the new creation th« unslooved and unhindered forearm of the Almighty. The reason of that I can under stand. In the shipyards of Liverpool, or Glasgow, or New York, a great vessel is constructed. The architect draws out the plan, the length of the beam, the capacity of tonnage, the rotation of wheel or scrow, the cabin, the masts and all the appoint ments of this great palace of the deep. The architect finishes his work without any perplexity, and the carpenters and artisans toil on the craft so many hours a day, each one doing his part, until, with flags flying and thousands of people cheering on the docks, the vessel is launched. But out on the sea that vessel breaks her shaft and is limping slowly Along toward harbor, when Caribbean whiflwinds, those mighty hunt ers of tho deep, looking out for prey of ships, surround that wounded vessel and pitch it on a rocky coast, and she lifts and falls in the breakers until overy joint is loose and overy spar is down, and every wave sweeps over the hurricane deck as she parts amldship. Would it not require moro skill and power to g«t that splintered vessels off the rocks and reconstruct it thaD It required originally to build her? Ayel "Our world, which started out with all the flags of Edenlc foliage and with the chant of Paradisaical bowers has been six ty centuries pounding in the skerries of sin and sorrow, and to get her out and off, and to get her on the right way again, will re quire more of omnipotence than It required to build her and launch her. Bo lam not surprised that, though in the drydook of one word our world was made, It will take the unsleeved arm of God to lift her from tho rooks and put her on the right course ngaln. It is evident from my text, and Its comparison with other texts, that it would not be so great an undertaking to make a whole constellation of worlds, and a whole galaxy of worlds, and a whole astronomy of worlds, and swing them in their right orbits, as to take this wounded world, this stranded world, this bankrupt world, this destroyed world, and make It as good as when it started. "But I have no time to specify the mani fold evils that challenge Christianity. And I think I have seen In some Christians, and read in some newspapers, and heard from so:no pulpits, a dislieartenment, as though Christianity were so worsted that It is hardly worth while to attempt to win this world of God, and that all Christian work would collapse, and that It Is no use for you to teach a Sabbath class, to dlstrlbutetracts, or exhort In prayer meeting, or preach In a pulpit, as Satan is gaining ground. To relmko that pessimism, the Gospel of Smash-up, I preach this sermon, showing that you are on the winning side. Go ahead! Fight on! What I want to make out to-day is that our ammunition is not exhausted; that all which has been ac complished has been only the skirmishing before the great Armageddon; that not more than one of the thousand fountains of beauty in the King's Park has begun to play; that not moro tban one brigade of theinnumerable hosts to be marshaled by the Rider on the White Horse has yet taken the lleld; that what God has done yet has been with arm folded in flowing robe but that the time is coming when he will rise from his throne, and throw off that robe, and come out of the palaces of eternity, and come down the stairs of heaven with all-conquering step, and halt in tho pres ence of expectant nations, and flashing his omniscient eyes across the work tu bo done will put back tho sleeve of bis right arm to tho shoulder, and roll It up there, and for the world'R flnal and oomplete rescue make bare his his arm. Who can doubt tho result when according to my text Jehovah does his best; when the lbst reserve force of Omnipotence takes the Held; when tho last sword of Eternal Might leaps from its soabbard! . -•** "Bo you know what decided the battle of Sedan? Tho hills a thousand feet high. Eleven hundred cannon on tho hills. Ar tillery on the heights of Givonne, and twelve Germun batteries on the heights of La Moncello. The Crown Princo of Sax ony watched the sceno from the heights of Mairy. Between a quarter to 6 o'clock In the morning aud 1 o'clock In tho after noon of September 2, IH7O, the hills dropped the shells that shattered the French host in tho valley. Tho French Emperor and the 80,000 of his army cap tured by tho hills. At the eloso of that battle of Sedan the Emperor sat broken hearted in a poor woman's cottage, and when she said in sympathy, 'What can I do for you?' he replied, 'Nothing, except pull down those blinds so that they can not stare at me!' Sedan decided by the hills. So in this conflict now raging be tween holiness and sin 'our jeyes are unto the hills.' Down here in the valleys of oartli wo must be valiant soldiers of the cross, but the Commander of our host walks the heights, and views the sceno far better than wo can in the valleys, and at the right day and the right hour all heaven will open its batteries on our side, and the commander of tho hosts of sin, with all his followors, will surren der, and it will take eternity te fully celebrate the universal viotory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 'Our eyes are unto the hills.' It is so certain to be accom plished that Isaiah, in my text, looks down through tho fleld-glass of prophecy and speaks of it as already accomplished, and I take my stand where the prophet took his stand, aud look at it as all done. Soe! Those cities without a tear? Look! Those continents without a pang! Behold! Those hemispheres without a sin! Why, those deserts—Arabian desert, American desert, and Great Sahara desert—are all irrigated into gardens where God walks in the cool of the day. The atmosphere that enciroles our globe floating not one groan. All the rivers and lakes and ooeans dimpled with not one falling tear. The climates of the earth have dropped out of them the rigors of the cold and the blasts of the heat, and it is universal spring. Let us change the old world's name. Let it no more be called the earth, as when it was reeking with everything pestiferous and malevolent, scarleted with battle-fields and gashed with graves, but now so changed, HO aro matic with gardens, and so resonant with song, and so rubescent with beauty, let us call it Immanuol's Land, or let us call it Beulah, or Millennial Gardens, or Paradise Regained, or Heaven! Hallelujah, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth! Hallelu jah, for the kingdoms of this world have become tho kingdoms of Christ!" SUFFERING IN ALASKA. The Klondike Adventurers Are Meeting; With Fearful Etptrlencci. A'.l reports from Alaska Indicate that the prospectors who have gono up early are having a fearful experience with oold and snow and ice. Avalanches have destroyed many of the outtlts at Lake Bennett, and ssveral well-equipped partlos have been unable to got over the Chllkoot Pass be cause ol the blizzards which have raged for days. Freight is blockaded, and many adventurous prospectors who tried to get over the mountains were badly frozen. The worst reports como fro:n tho Copper River country, for which several expedi tions have sailed. One party from Los Angeles prospected the river for sixty miles, and found nothing for their labors. Tho snow was llfteen feet deep, and not even skin clothes could protect them from the bitter wind that swept overthe glaciers, Nin? of the party were badly frost-bitten. A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS. Our Heroes—The Pernicious and Distinc tively American Habit of "Treating" is the Cause of Much Human Suffer ing;—The Man Who Saw Himself. Hero's a linnd to tho boy who has courage To do what lie knows to be ritrht; When ho (alls In tho way of temptation, He has a hard battle to fl(?ht. Who strives against self and his comrades Will find a most powerful foe; All honor to him if ho conquers! A cheer for the boy who says "No!" There's many a battlo fought dally The world knows nothing about. There's many a brave little soldier Whose strength pnts a legion to rout. And he who fights sin single-handed Is more of a hero, I say, Than he who leads soldiers to battle And conquers by arms in tho fray. Be steadfast, my boy, when you're tempted, And do what you know to be right. Stand llrm by tho colors of manhood, And you will o'eruome In the fight. "Tho right" be your battle-cry ever In waging tho warfare of life; And God, who knows who are tho heroes. Will give you the strength for tho strife. —Phoebe Cary. A Treating. One habit that with profit to himself can bo left off by the resolute young man, says the Catholic Universe, is tho pernicious and distinctively American custom of "treat ing," which prevails among all classes in this country. This habit has nothing what ever to recommend it. Sometimes it is foolishly regarded by those addicted to it as a manifestation of generosity and good fellowship. It Is invariably the offspring of shallow and thoughtless egotism. It Is a source of a great deal of dissoluteness that exists in all grades of society, and its consoquencos Is tho awful train of misery aDdsorrow that follows in tho train of in temperance. Many, if not nil, hopeless human wrocks from excessive use of Intoxicants call trace their destruction to this vicious custom of treatiDgat tho bar. It is especially dan gerous to young men who lack the requisite Srmnessof will to resist its fatal influence. It is not only an expensive habit, but silly besides. Think for a moment. A young man is induced to join one or two, or a half dozen others in a "social glass" of liquor, for which, perhaps he has really an abhor rence. But he accepts, and the effect of custom is that tie takes not only one drink of spirits which tie does not relish, but two, or a half a dozen, as the case may be. He puts this llerv fluid into his stomach, not because he needs or craves it, but simply in obedience to a senseless tradition of per verted politeness. This description of glut tony, if we may call it suoh, is infinitely worse than other kinds, because there is no plausible excuse for it, or mitigation of its i downright badness. What would bethought of an individual, who, having accepted a friend's Invitation to dine, should insist, after par' iking of the meal of his host, on lmtr>' -lately duplicating the performance In deference tom distorted custom of socia bility? Yet there is just as much reason why n person should gorge himself with two or three consecutive dinners, as for his indulgence in successive libations, that, Instead of benefiting him In any way, in jure nim both physically and morally. The treating habit is a curse to American man ners, and an 01 iandish notion of socia bility and goo allows hip, which every sober-minded y< ''4g inun in possession of his mental fuel '/ .Jes should assiduously avoid. Makeup -our mind now. before the pvll habit lias grown upon you. that In your case, lit least, the custom will become more honored in the breach than the observance. Even if you do not intend to practice total abstinence from spirituous liquors, turu your face resolutely away from this fruit ful agency of demoralization. He Saw Himself. "You must excuse me, gentlemen, for I can not drink anything," said n man who was known to the entire town as a drunk ard. "This is the first time you ever refused a drink," said an acquaintance. "The other day you were hustling around after a cock tail, and, in fact, you even asked me to set 'em up." "That's very true, but I'm a very differ ent man now." "Treachers had hold of you?" "No, sir, no one has said a word to me." "Well, then, what has caused the change?" "I'll tell you; after leaving you tho other day I kept on hustling after a cocktail, as you call it. until I mot a party if friends. When I left them I was about half drunk. To a man of my temperament a half drunk is a miserable condition, for the desiro for more is so strong that he forgets lils self respect in his effort to get more drink. I remembered that there was half a pint of whiskey at home which hail been pur chased for medical purposes. Just before reaching the gate I heard a voice in the garden, and, looking over tho fence, I saw my little son and daughter playing. 'Now you be ma.' said the boy, 'ami I'll be pa. Now you sit hero and I'll come In drunk. Wait, now, till I fill ray bottle.' "He took a bottle, ran nway and filled It with water. Pretty soon he returned, and, ontering tho pluy houso, nodded idiotically at tho girl and sat down without saying anything. Tho girl looked up from her work and said: " 'James, why do you "do this way?' " 'Wizzer way?' he replied. " 'Gettin' drunk.' " 'Who's drunk?' "'You are, an' you promised me when tho baby died that you wouldn't drink any more. The children are almost ragged and we haven't anything to eat hardly, but you still throw your money away. Don't you know you are breaking my heart.' "I hurried away. The action was too lifelike. I could think of nothing during tho day but those little chlldron playing in the garden. You must excuse me, gentlo men. I enn not drink again." Ought Never to Be Condoned. The families of drunkards can never condone drunkenness nor get usod to it; audit is from their standpoint that Chris tians must view the vice. The palliation of this crime is too common; we are sick of hearing these drunkards spokon of as hav ing a "weakness" for drink—"it is the poor fellow's only fault;" "he is just a little too ccnviviul." The dlro reality is that the vice of drunkenness, gross sin as it is against one's self, is a foul crime against one's family, aud tho plainer the words used to characterize it tho better. It al ways hangs like a lowering cloud over the wretch's home, and his family cannot rid themselves of the misery that it always brings, nor of tho dread of tho terrible ca lamities which are too often its further re sults. r Drink and Crluie. The latest evidence of the relation of drink and crime Is affordod by Justice Ilidley, who, charging the Grand .lurv at the Liverpool Assizes, said the eal ender conaitued the n»mes of 181 pris oners, th« longest that had been placed be fore a Grand Jury in that city for some timo. He remarked upon tho large propor tion of cases of wounding and other crimes of violence, and said that in nearly all these instances drink was tho cause of the crime. Again, at the Munstor Winter As sizes, Judge O'Brien commonted on the number of outrages in County Clare, and remarked there hail been a large Increase of intoxication, which indicated there was no want of means in the community.
