TEXT: "Though yo have lain among the
pots, yet slinll yo lie as the wings of a (love
covered with silver, ami her feathers with
yellow gold."—Psalms Ixviii; 13.
I suppose you know what tho Israelites
did down in Egyptian serfdom. They made
bricks. Amid the utensils of the brick kiln
there were also other utensils of cookery—
tho kettles, the pots, tho pans, with which
they prepared their daily food, and when
these slaves, tired of.the day's work lay
down to rest, they lay down amid tho im
plements of cookery and the implements of
hard work. When they arose in the morn
ing they found their garments covered with
the clay and the smoke and tho dust, and
besmirched and begrimed with the utensils
of cookery. But after uwhile the Lord
broke up that slavery, and He tooK theso
poor slaves into a laud where they had bet
ter garb, bright and clean and beautiful ap
parel. No more bricks for them to make.
Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When
David in my text comes to describe tho
transition of these poor Israelites from their
bondage amid the brick kilns into the glori
ous emancipation for which God had pre
pared them, ho says: "Though yo have
lain among the pots, yot shall yo be as the
wings of a dove covered with silver, and
her feathers with vellow gold."
Miss Wlmtely, the author of a celebrated
book, "Life in Egypt," said she sometimes
saw people in the Last cooking their food
on the tops of houses, and that she had
often seen, just before sundown, pigeons,
doves, which had, during tho heat of the
day, been hiding among the kettles and the
paps with which the food was prepared,
picking up tlie crumbs that they might
find, just about the hour of sunset
spread their wing* and lly heavenward,
entirely uusolled by the region In which
they had moved, for tlie pigeon is a
very cleanly bird. And as these pigeons
flew away the setting sun would throw sil
ver on their wings and gold on their
breasts. So you see it was not a far
fetched simile or an unnatural comparison,
when David, in my text, says to these
emaciated Israelites, and says to nil those
who are brought out of any kind of trou
ble Into any kind of spiritual joy,
"Though ye have lain among the pots, yet
shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered
with silver, and her feathers with yellow
gold."
I am going to preach something this
morning which some of you do not believe,
and that is that tho grandest possible
adornment is the religion of Jesus Christ.
There are a great many people who suppose
that religion is a very different thing from
what it really is. Tho reason men con
demn the Blbie is because they do not un
derstand the Bible; they linvo not properly
examined it. Dr. Johnson said that Hume
told a minister 111 his bishopric of Durham
that ho had never particularly examined
the New Testament, yet nil his life warring
against it. Halley, the astronomer, an
nounced his skepticism to Sir Isaac New
ton, and Sir Isaac Newton said: "Now,
sir, I have examined the subject, and you
nave not, and I am ashamed that you, pro
fessing to be a philosopher, consent to con
demn a thing you never examined." And
so men reject the religion of Jesus Christ
because they really have never investigated
it. They think it something impractical,
something that will not work, something
Pecksniflian, something hypocritical,some
thing repulsive, when It is so bright and so
beautiful, you might compare it to a dove,
its wings covered with silver and its
feathers with yellow gold.
To enter the religious life is to put your
self in the pardon, the comfort, the com
panionship, the omnipotence of the illus
trious Christ, the Saviour of one world
and the chief joy of another. The storm
His frown; the sunlight His smile; tho
spring morning His breath; tho earth
quake the stamp of His foot; the thunder
the whisper of His voice; the ocean a drop
on tho tip of His finger; heaven a sparkle
on the bosom of His love; eternity the
twinkling of His eye; the universe the Hy
ing dust of His chariot-wheels. Able to
heal a heart-break, or hush a tempest, or
drown a world, or flood immensity with
His glory. What an uplifting thing to
make such a Being our ally!
But how is it if a young man becomes a
Christian? All through the gay circles
where ho associates, all through the busi
ness circles where ho Is known, there is
commiseration. They say, "What a pity
that a young man who had such bright
prospects should so have been despoiled
bv those Christians, giving up all his
worldly prospects for something which is
of no particular present worth." Here is a
young woman who becomes a Christian;
her voice, her face, her manners the
charm of tho drawing-room. Now all
through the social circle the whisper goes,
"What a pity that such a bright light
should have been extinguished, that such
a graceful giit should be crippled, that
such worldly prospects should be obliter
ated." Ah, my friends, it can be shown
that religion's ways are ways of pleasant
ness, and that all her paths are peace;
that religion, instead of being dark and
doleful, and lachrymose, and repulsive, is
bright and beautiful, fairer than a dove,
its wings covered with silver and its
feathers with yellow gold.
See, in the first place, what religion will
do for a man's heart. I care not bow
cheerful a man may naturally be before
conversion, conversion brings him up to a
higher standard of cheerfulness. Ido not
say he will laugh any louder; I do not say
but that he may stand back from some
forms of hilarity in which he once in
dulged, but there comes into his soul an im
mense satisfaction. A young man, not a
Christian, depends npon"worldly successes
to keep his spirits up. Now" he is pros
pered, now he has large salary, now he has
a beautiful wardrobe, now he has pleasant
friends, now he has moro money than he
knows well how to spend; everything goes
bright and well with him. But trouble
comes—there eso many young men in the
house this moralng who can testify out of
their own experience that sometimes to
young men trouble does come—his friends
are gone, his salary is gone, his health is
gone; he goes down, down. He becomes
sour, cross, queer, misanthropic, blames
the world, blames society, blames the
church, blames everything; rushf.s per
haps, to the intoxicating cup to drown his
trouble, but instead of drowning his
trouble drowns his body and drowns
liis soul.
But there is a Christian young man.
Trouble comes to him. Does "he give up?
No. He throws himself back on the re
sources of heaven. He says, "God is my
Father. Out of all theso disasters I shall
pluck advantage for my soul, All tho
promises are mine—Christ is mine, Chris
ian companionship is mine, heaven is
mine. W hat though my apparel bo worn
out? Christ gives me a robe of righteous
ness. What though my money be gone?
have a title deed to the whole universe
□ the promise, all are yours. What though
iy worldly friends vail away? Minister- j
ag angels are my bodyguard. What !
bough my fare be poor and my bread 1
* scant? I sit at the King's banquet."
You and I have found out that people I
ho pretend to be happy are not always !
appv. Look at that young man enri- j
aturing the Christian religion, scoSlng
t everything good, going into roystering ,
runkenness, dashing the champagne
ottle to the floor, rolling the glasses
rom the barroom counter, laughing,
houting, stamping the floor, shrieking,
she happy? I will goto his midnight
lllow. I will see him turn the gas off.
will ask myself it the pillow on which he
eeps is as soft as the pillow on which
iat pure young man sleeps, 4H! no.
When he opens his oyes in the morning
will the world be as bright to him as to
that young man who retired at night say
ing his prayers, invoking God's blessing
upon his own soul nnd thesonl of his com
rades, and father and mother and brother
and sister far away? No, no. His laugh
tor will ring out from the saloon so that
you hear It as you pass by, but it is hollow
laughter; in it is the snapping of heart
strings and the rattle of prison gates.
Happyl That young man happy? Let
him 1111 high the bowl; ho cannot drown
an upbraiding conscience. Let tho balls
roll through the bowling-alley; the deep
rumble and the sharp crack cannot over-
Sower the voices of condemnation. Let
im whirl in the dancs of sin and temp
tation and death. All the brilliancy of tho
scene cannot make him forget the last
look of his mother as he left home, when
she said to him: "Now, my son, you will
do right, I am sure you will do right; you
will, won't you?" That young man
happy? Why, across every night there
flits the shadows of eternal darkness;
there are adders coiled up in every cup;
there are vultures of despair striking
their iron beak into his heart; there are
skeleton Angers of grief pinching at the
throat. I come in amid the clicking of
the glasses, and under tho flashing of the
chandeliers, and I cry, "Woe! woe! woe!
The way of tho ungodly shall perish.
There is 110 peace, saith my God, to the
wicked. The way of transgressors is
hard."
Oh. do you know of anything, my hear
ers, that is more beautiful than to see a
young man start out for Christ? Here is
| some one falling; ho lifts him up. Here is
a vagabond boy; he introduces him to a
mission school. Here is a family freezing
to death, he carries thom a scuttle of coal.
There are eight hundred millions perishing
in midnight heathen darkness; by all possi
ble means he tries to send thom the Gospel.
Ho may be laughed at, and he may bo
sneered at, and he may be caricatured; but
he is not ashamed togo everywhere, say
ing, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ. It is tho power of God and the wis
dom of God unto salvation." Such a young
man can-go through everything. There is
110 force on earth orin hell that can resist
him.
I show you three spectacles. Spectacle
tho flrst: Napoleon passes by with the host
that went down with him to Egypt, and up
with him through Russia, and crossed the
continent on the bleeding henrt of which
he set his iron heel, and across the quiver
ing flesh of which went grinding the wheels
of his gun carriages, in his dying moment
asking his attendants to put on his mili
tary boot for him.
Spectacle the second: Voltaire, bright
and learned and witty and eloquent, with
tongue nnd voice and stratagem infernal,
warring against God nnd poisoning whole
kingdoms with his infldelity; yet applauded
by clapping hands of thrones and empires
and continents—his last words in delirium,
supposing Christ standing by his bedside—
his last words, "Crush that wretch."
Spectacle the third: Paul—Paul, the in
significant in person, thrust out from all
rellned association, scourged, spat on,
hounded like a wild beast from city to city!
yet trying to make the world good and
heaven full; announcing resurrection to
those who mourned at the barred gates of
the dead; speaking consolations which
light up the eyes of widowhood and or
phanage and want with tho glow of cer
tain and eternal release; undaunted before
those who could take his life, his oheek
flushed with transport, and his eye on
heaven; with one hand shaking defiance at
all of the foes of earth and all the princi
palities of hell, and with tho other hand
beckoning messenger angels to come and
bear him away, as he says,"l am now
ready to be offered, and tho time of my de
parture Is at hand: I have fought the good
light; I have llnished my course; I have
kept the faith; henceforth tliero is laid up
for me a crown of righteousness which tho
Lord, the righteous judge, will give me."
Which of the three spectacles do you
most admire? Whan tho wind of death
struck the conqueror and the infldel they
were tossed like sea-gulls in a tempest,
drenched of the wnve and torn of the hur
ricane, their dismal voices heard through
tlie everlasting storm, but when the ttave
nnd the wind of death struck Paul, like an
albatross he made a throne of the tempest, '
and one day floated away into the cairn!
clear summer of heaven, brighter than the
dove, its wings covered with silver and its
feathers with yellow gold. Oh, are you
not in love with such a religion—a relig
ion that can do so much for a man while
lie lives, and so much for a mnn when 110
comes to die? I supposo you may have
noticed the contrast between the de
parture of a Christian and the departure
or an infldel. Deodorous, dying in a cha
grin because he could not compose a ioko
equal to the joke uttered at the other end
of the table. Zeuxis dying in a lit of laugh
ter at the sketch of an aged woman—a
sketch made by his own hands. Mazarln
dying playing cards, his friend holding
his hands because he was unable to hold
them himself. All that on one side, com
pared with the departure of the
Scotch minister, who said to his friends,
"I have no interest as to whether
I live or die; if I die I shall he
with the Lord, nnd if I live the Lord wilr
be with me." Or the last words of Washing
ton,"lt is well." Or the Inst words of
Mcintosh, the lenrned and the great,
"Happy." Or tho last words of Hannah
Moore, the Christian poetess, "Joy." Or
those thousands of Christians who have
gone, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my
spirit. Come, Lord Jesus, como quickly."
"0 death! where is thy sting? O grave!
where is thy victory?" Behold tho con
trast. Behold the charm of the one; be
hold tho darkness of the other. Now, I
know it is very popular in this day for
young men to think there is something
more charming in scepticism than iu re
ligion. Thf t r. re ashamed of the old
fashioned religion of the cross, and they
pride themselves on their free thinking on
all these subjects. My young friends, I
want to tell you what I know from observa
tion, that while skepticism is n beautiful
land at the start, it is the great Sahara
Desert at the last.
That I might woo you to a better life,
and that I might show vou the glories
with which God clothes His dear children
in heaven, I wish I could this morning
swing back one of the twelve gates that
there might dash upon vour ear one shout
of the triumph, that there might flame
upon your eye one blaze of all the splen
dor. Oh. when I sneak of that good laud,
you involuntarily think of some one there
that you loved -father, mother, brother,
sister, or dear little child garnered al
ready. You want to know what thev are
doing this morniug. I will tell you what
they are doing. Singing. You want to
know what they wear. I will tell you
what they wear. Coronets of triumph.
"Oh," you say, "religion I am going to
have; it is only a question of time." My
brother, I am afraid that vou mav lose
heaven the way Louis rhilippe lost his
empire. The Parisian mob came arouud
the Tuileries. The National Guard stood
in defense of the palace, and the com
mander said to Louis Philippe, "Shall I
lire now? Shall I ordor the troops to tire?
With one volley we can clear the place?"
"No," said Louis Philippe, "not yet." A
few minutes passed on, and then Louis
rhilippe. seeing the case was hopeless, said
to the General, "Now is the time to lire."
"No," said the General. "It is too late now;
don't you see that the soldiers are exchang
ing arms with the citizens? It is too inte."
Down went the throne of Louis Philippo.
Away from tho earth went tho house of
Orleans, and all because the King said
"Not yet. not yet." May God forbid that
any of you should adjourn tills groat sub
ject of religion, and should postpouo as
sailing your spiritual foes until it is too
late—too late, you losing a throne in heaven
the way that Louis Philippe lost a throne
on earth.

One of Schley'* Ancestors.
A great-granddaughter of Mr-
Thomas Schley writes to the Sun as
follows: "From the Key, an old paper
published in Fredericktown in 1798, I
extracted the following from a sketch
of Frederick County: 'The first house
was built by Mr. Thomas Schley in
1746. This gentleman died in the
year 1790, aged seventy-eight, after
having had the satisfaction of seeing
a dreary wood, late the habitation of
bears, wolves, deer, etc., and the oc
casional hunting ground of the gloomy
savage, converted into a flourishing
town, surrounded by a fertile coun
try, smiling with yellow harvests and
comfortable farmhouses, interspersed
with handsome seats, the happy re
ward of enterprising, persevering in
dustry.' Now Commodore Schley has
no need to blush at the origin of his
great-great-grandfather. Mr. Thomas
Schley (full name, John Thomas
Schley), for he was a scholar and a
Christian gentleman, a member of the
German Reformed Church, and to a
society of that denomination there was
usually attached a schoolmaster, who
in the minister's absence read the ser
vice and instructed the children.
Many of the children of the early in
habitants of the town owed their
education to him —giving freely and
without compensation, for the good of
the place. He was a wealthy man
and large landowner." Baltimore
Sun.
A Criticism of Smokeless Powder.
A well-known sportman and gun ex;
pert of this city attributes the poor
marksmanship of the Spanish fleets to
smokeless powder. He says it is a
well-known fact with sportsmen that
nitre or smokeless powder cannot be
depended upon for good shooting.
The strength of the same calibre of
cartridges varies; one probably will
shoot straight to the mark, the next
high, and the third low. If this is
the case with the small sporting cart
ridges, T\vat must it be with those
used in the great pieces of ordnance
on warships?
The accuracy of the American gun
ners is, of course, largely due to good
marksmanship, but the skill of the
guuners would count for nothing, the
gun man said, if it were not for the
fact that the American navy uses
black powder, the explosive force of
which is always to be depended on.
He maintains that the same rule ap
plies to the small arms used in the
army, and contends that the Govern
ment had make no mistake in not
adopting nitre or smokeless powder.—

Seeing the Unseen.
An Austrian inventor claims to have
invented an electrical apparatus by the
use of which a person may sit in a
dark room and look at a scene in an
other part of the town, regardless of
corners, intervening buildings, or any
other obstructions. It is claimed that
the instrument operates similarly to
the telephone. Scientists explain the
transmission of sound over telephone
wires by the theory of sound waves.
The inventor of the new instrument,
which is called a "fernseher," claims
that his appliance transmits light
waves just as the sound waves are car
ried over the wire by electricity.
The present system of musical nota
