TEXT: "Jesus stooped down and with
His lingers wrote on tho ground."—John
Till., 6.
You must take your shoes off and put
on the especial slippers provided at the
door if you would enter the Mohammedan
mosque, which stands now where once
stood Herod's temple, the scene of my text.
Solomon's temple had stood there, but
Nebuchadnezzar had thundered It do.vn.
Zerubbabel's temple had stood there, but
had been prostrated. Now wo take our
places in a tern pie that Herod built, because
he was fond of great architecture, and he
wanted the. preceding temples to seoin In-
Significant. Tut eight or ten modern eu
thedrnls together, and they would not
eoual that structure. It covered nineteen
acres. There were marble pillars support
ing roofs of cedar, and silver tables, on
which stood golden cups, and there were
carvings exquisite, and inscriptions re
splendent, glittering balustrades and orna
mented gateways.
In that stupendous pile of pomp and
magnificence sat Christ, and a listening
throng stood nbout Him when a wild dis
turbance took place. A group of men aro
pulling and pushing al(ing a woman who
had committed a crime against society.
When they have brought her in front of
Christ, they ask that He sentenco her to
death by stoning. They aro a critical,
merciless, dlsiugenuous crowd. They want
to get Christ into controversy and public
reprehension. If He say "Let her die,"
they will charge Him with cruelty. If He
let her go they will charge Him with being
in complicity with wickedness. Which
ever way He does, they would howl at Him.
Then occurs a scene which has not been
sufficiently regarded, Ho leaves the
lounge or "bench ou which He was sitting,
and goes down on one knee, or both knees,
and with the forefinger of His right hand
He begins to write In the dust of the floor,
word after word. But they were not to be
diverted or hindered. Tney kept ou de
manding that He settle this case of trnim
gresslon, until He looked up afid told them
they might themselves begin the woman's
assnssinatlon, if the complainunt who had
never done anything wrong himself would
open the fire. "Go ahead, but bo sure that
the man who flings the llrst missile is im
maculate.'' Then He resumed writing
with His finger nail in the dust of the floor,
word after word. Instead of looking over
His shoulder to see what He had written,
the scoundrels skulked away. Finally, the
whole place is clear of pursuers, antag
onists and plaintiffs, aud when Christ has
Unlshed this strange chirogruphy in the
dust He looks up and llnds the woman all
alone.
The prisoner is the onlvono of tbo court
room left, the judges, the police, the prose
cuting attorney having cleared out. Christ
is victor, and lie says to the woman:
"Where are the persecutors in this case?
are they all gone? Then I discharge you;
go and sin no more." I have wondered
what Christ wrote on the ground. For do
you realize that this Is the only time that
He ever wrote at all? I know that Eusebius
says that Christ onee wrote a letter to
Abgarus, the King of Edet-so, but there is
no good evidence of such a correspond
ence. The wisest Being the world ever
saw, and the One who had more to say
than anyone whoever lived, never writing
a book or a chapter or a paragraph or a
word on parchment. Nothing but the lit
erature of the diißt, and one sweep of a
brush pr one breath of a wind obliterated
it forever.
Among all the rolls of the volumes of the
first library founded at Thebes there was
not one scroll of Christ. Among the books
of tbo Alexandrian Library, which, by the
infamous decree of Caliph Omar, were'used
as fuel to heat the baths of the city, not
one sentence had Christ penned. Among
all the infinitude of volumes now stauding
in the libraries of Edinburgh, tho British
Mu-eum, or Berlin, or Vienna, or tho
learned repositories of all nations, not one
word written directly by the linger of
Curist. All that He ever wrote Ho wrote
in dust, uncertain, shifting dust.
My text says He stooped down and wrote
on the ground. Standing straight up a
man might write on the ground with a staff,
but if with His fingers He would write in
the dust He must bend clear over. Ave, He
must get at least on one knee, or He can
not write on the ground. Be not surprised
that He stooped down, His whole life was a
stooping down. Stooping down from castle
to barn. Stooping down from celestial
homage to monocratlc jeer. From resi
dence above the stars to where a star had
to fall to designate His landing-place.
From Heaven's front door to tho world'B
back gate. From writing in round and
silvered letters of constellation aud galaxy
on the blute scroll of Heaven to writing on
the ground in the dust which tho feet in
the crowd had left in Herod's templo.
Christ came down from tho highest
Heaven to the broiling of fish for His own
breakfast, on the banks of the lake. From
emblazoned chariots of eternity to the
saddle of a mule's back. From tho hom
age cherubic, seraphic, archangellc, to the
paying of sixty-two and a half cents of tax
to Cicsar. From the deathless country to
n tomb built to hide human dissolution.
The uplifted wave of Oalilee was high, but
He had to come down before, with His feet,
He could touch It, and the whirlwind that
arose above the billow was higher yet, but
He had to come down before with His lip
» He could kiss it into quiet. Bethlehem a
stooping down. Nazareth a stooping down.
Death between two burglars a stooping
down. Yes, it was iu consonance with
humiliations that went before and self
abnegations that came after, when ou that
memorable day in Herod's temple He
Btooped down and wrote on the ground.
Whether the words He was writing were
in Greek or Latin or Hebrew, I cannot say,
for He knew all those languages. But He
is still stooping down, aud with His finger
writing on the ground; in tho winter in
letters of crystals, in the spring in letters
of flowers, in summer in golden letters ot
harvest, In autumn in letters of fire or fall
en leaves. How it would sweeten up aud
enrich and emblazon this world, could we
see Christ's caligraphy all over it. This
* world was not fiungout into s-pace thou
sands of years ago, and then left to look out
for itself. It is still under the Divine care.
CLrist never for a half second takes His
hand oft of It, or it would soon be a ship
wrecked world, a defunct world, au obso
lete world, an abandoned world, a dead
* world. "Let there be light," was said at
the beginning. And Christ stands under
the wintry skies and says, let there be snow
flakes to enrich the earth; and under tho
clouds of spring and says, come ye blos
soms and make redolent the orchards; and
In September, dips the branches in the vat
ol' beautiful colors, aud swings them into
! ttie hazy air. No whim of mine is this.
{'Without Him was not anything made that
was made." Christ writing on the ground.
flf you l could see His hand in all the pass
ing satisons, how it would illumine the
world? All vfrdure and foliage would be
allegoric, and again we wijuld hear Him
eay, as of old, "Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow;" and we would not
j hear the whistle of a quail or the cawing of
« raven or tho roundelay of a browu
•'•~wher, without saying, "Behold the fowls
they gather not in bnrns, yet
Aly Father feedeth them;" and
/hen of tho barnyard could not
't her brood, but we would hear
i saying, as of old, "How often would
Ve gathered thy children together, even
. bee gathereth her chickens under her
igs;" and through the redolent hedges
would hear Christ saying, "I am the
i of Sharon;" we could -.ot dip the sea
ag from the salt-oellar without think-
I kig of the dtrine suggestion, "Ye are the
Halt of the earth, but it the salt hath lost
its sAVor, it is fit for nothing but to be cast
out and trodden underfoot of men."
But when Christ stooped down and
wrote on the ground, what did He write?
The Pharisees did not stop to examine.
The cowards, whipped of their own eon
sciences, fled pell mell. Nothing will flay
a man like an aroused conscience. Dr.
Stevens, in his "History of Methodism,"
says that when the Rev. Benjamin Abbott,
of olden times, was preaching, he ex
claimed: "For aught I know there may
be a murderer In this house,"and a man
rose from the assemblage and started for
the door and bawled aloud, confessing to
a murder he had committed fifteen years
before. And no wonder these Pharisees,
reminded of their sins, took to their heels.
But what did Christ write on the ground?
Tho Bible does not state. Yet as Christ
never wrote anything except that once
you cannot blame us for wanting to know
what He really did write. But I am cer
tain He wrote nothing trivial or nothing
unimportant. And will you allow me to
say that I think I know what He wrote on
the ground? I judge from the circum
stances. He might have written other
things, but kneeling there in the Temple,
surrounded by o pack of hypocrites who
were a solf-appointed constabulary, and
having in its presenoe a persecuted woman,
who evidently was very penitent for her
sins, I am sure He wrote two words, both
of them graphic and tremendous and re
verberating. And the one word was
"hypocrisy" and tho other word was "for
giveness."
Yes, I think that one word written on
the ground that dav by the flnger of
Christ was the awful word hypocrisy.
What pretensions to sanctity are the part
of those hypocritical Pharisees! When the
fox begins to pray look out for your chick
ens. One of the cruel magnates of olden
times was going tO'excommunicate one
of the martyrs, and he began In the usual
form—"ln the name of God, Amen."
"Stop!" says tho martyr, "don't say 'Jn the
name of Godl' " Yet how many outrages
are practiced under the garb of religion
and sanctity! When in synods and con
ferences, ministers of the Gospel are about
to say something unbrotherly and un
kind about a member, they almost always
begin by being ostentatiously pious, tho
venom of their assault corresponding to
tho heavenly flavor of the prelude. About
to devour a reputation they say grace
before meat.
But I am sure there was another word
in that dust. From her entire manner I
am sure that arraigned woman was re
pentant. She made no apology, and Christ
in nowise belittled her sin. But her sup
plicatory behavior and her tears moved
Him, and when Ho stooped down to write
on the ground He wrote that mighty, that
Imperial word, forgiveness.
When on Siuai God wroto the law, Ho
wrote it with linger of lightning on tables
of stone, each word cut as by a chisel into
the hunt granite surface. But when He
writes tho offence of this woman He writes
it in dust so that it can be easily rubbed
out, and when she repents of it—oh, He
was a merciful Christ! I was reading of a
legend that is told In the far East about
Him. He was walking through the streets
of a city and He saw a crowd around a dead
dog. And one man said: "What o loath
some object is that dog!" "Yes," said an
other, "his ears are mauled and bleeding."
"Yes," said another, "even his hide would
not be of any use to the tanner." "Yes,"
said another, "the odor of his carcass is
dreadful." Then Christ, standing thero,
said: "But pearls cannot equal the white
ness of his teeth." Then tho people, moved
by the Idea that anyono could find any
thing pleasant concerning the doad dog,
said: "Why, this must be Jesus of Naza
reth!" Beprove.d and convicted, they went
away.
But while I speak of Christ of the text.
His stooping down writing in tho dust, do
not think I underrate the literature of the
dust. It is the most tremendous of all
literature. It is the grandest of all libra
ries. When Layard exhumod Nineveh ho
was only opening the door of its mighty
dust. The excavations of Pompeii have
only been tho unclasping of the lids of a
nation's dust.
Ohl this mighty literature of the dust:
Where tire the remains of Sennacherib and
Attila and Epaminondas and Tamerlane
and Trajan and Philip of Macedon and
Julius Cresar? Dust! Where ore the
guests who danced the floors of the Alhrtm
bfa or the Persian palaces of Ahasuerus?
Dust! Where nre the musicians who
played, or the orators who spoke, and the
tculptors who cbisled, and the architects
who built, in all the centuries except our
own? Dust! Where are the most of the
books that once entranced the world?
Dust! Pliny wroto twenty books of his
tory; all lost. The most of Menr.nder's
writings lost. 1 Of one hundred and thirty
comedies of rinutus, till gone but twenty.
Euripides wrote a hundred drnruas, all
gone but ninetoen. Esohylus wrote a hun
dred dramas, all gone but seven. Quln
tllian wrote his favorite book on the cor
ruption at eloquence, all lost. Thirty
books of Tacitus lost. Dion Cassius wrote
eighty books, only twenty remain. Bero
sius's history all lost. Where thero is one
living book there are a thousand dead
books.
Oh! this mighty literature of the dust. It
is.not so wonderful, aftor all, that Christ
cnose, instead of an inkstand, the impres
sionable sand on the floor of an ancient
temple, and. Instead of a hard pen, put
forth His forefinger, with the same kind of
nerve and muscle and bone and flesh as
that which makes up our own forefinger,
and wrote tho awful 4 00111 of hypocrisy,
and full and complete forgiveness for re
pentant sinners, even the worst. We talk
about the ocean of Christ's mercy. Put
four ships upon that ocean and lefr them
sail out in opposite directions for a thou
sand years, and see if thoy can And the
share of the ocean of the divine mercy. Let
them sail to the north and the south and
tho east and tho west, and then after the
thousand years of vogage let them eome
back and they will report "No shore, no
shore to the ocean of Uod's mercy!"
And now I can believe that which I read,
how that a mother kept burning a candle
In tho window every night for ten years,
and one< night, very late, a poor waif on the
street entered. The aged woman said to
her, "Sit down by the fire," and the stranger
said. "Why do you keep that light In the
window?" The aged woman said, "That Id
to light my wayward daughter when she
returns. Since she went away, ten years
ago, my hair has turned white. Folks
blame me for worrying about her, but you
see I am her mother, and sometimes, half a
dozen times a night, I open tho door and
look out into the darkness and cry, 'Liz
zie! 'Lizzie!' But I must not tell you any
mioro about my trouble, for I guess, from
the way you cry, you havo trouble enough
of your own. Why, how cold and sick you
seem! Oh, my! can it be? Yes, you are
Lizzie, iny own lost child! ThankGodthat
you are home again!" And what a time of
rejoicing there was In that house that
night. And Christ again stooped down,
and in the ashes of that hearth, now lighted
up, not more by the great blazing logs than
by the joy of a reunited household, wrote
the same liberating words that had been
written more than eighteen hundred year 3
ago in the dust of the" Jerusalem temple.
Forgiveness! A word broad enough and
high enough to let pass through it all the
armies of Heaven, a million abreast, on
white horses, nostril to nostril, flank to
llank.
Relief Needed In Spain.
Countess de Casa Valencia, wife of the
former Spanish Ambassador to Great
Britain, appeals through the London papers
for contributions to her fund for the Spanish
sick and wounded. She says: "There are
mauy thousands lying In hospitals at San
Sebastian, Las Palmae, Santiago de Cuba
and Guantnnamo without bandages or Unt
or even beds to sleep upon, owing to inade
quate funds. And there are many widows
and orphans who are in most argent need
of relief."

(Dialogue for Two Girls.)
First Girl.
Oh, how happy is the homestead
Whore temperance fairy dwells!
All is peaceful and harmonious
As the chime of evening bells;
But where drink doth bind its victims,
In a cruel deadly chain,
There is there is sorrow,
There is trouble, fear and pain.
Second Girl.
There the little children tremble,
And the tiny feet are bare;
Every day there hangs the shadow
Of au ever-present care.
But the temperance home is gladsome
As the days of golden spring.
For abstaining means rejoicing,
And the pledge doth blessing bring.
First Girl.
When the wnges at the tavern
All for fiery drops are spent,
On the home there cometh darkness,
Nouirht is known of sweet content.
Wife and little ones are starving,
Illness, weakness, need increase—
While the hard-earned wage is wasted
For the drink that endeth peace.
Second Girl.
But when all are pledged abstainers,
Happy is the home and bright;
Shadows fade away and vanish
In the dawn of fairest licrht.
In the cupboard there is plenty,
Flow'rets wreathe the garden gay,
And the little ones am smiling,
All is merry as the May!
First Girl.
Oh, that drink may never darken
"Homo, sweet home," we love so well.
Hay the shining temperanee fairy
In our midst forever dwell I
Second Girl.
May our homes be homes of temepranoo,
Witnessing to one and all
Blessings, beauty, joy and brightness—
All good gifts to temperance (all.
Both.
Drink we will refuse forever,
And wher'er our steps may roam.
We'll resolve through all life's ehang«9,
Ours shall be a temperance home!
One and all be firm abstainers,

Let your homes be bright with temperance
Free from hariaful drink for aye!

General Sheridan and Hla Son.
Two grave, quiet-looking men stood or
the steps of a big house in Washlngtor
seme years ago. They were watchinp
four bright children get into a cart an<?
drive down the street, throwing back
kisses and "good-bye" to papa and papa's
friend, the General.
The younger man, and tho father, wm
General Phil Sheridan. "Fighting Phil,''
as he was called in those days. Anothei
General, an old friend, said: "rhil, lioti
do you manage your little army of four?"
"Don't manage; they are mlschievoui
soldiers, but what good comrades! All tin
good there Is in me they bring out. Theb
little mother is a wonderful woman, nnc
worth a regiment of officers, John. I oftet
think,what pitfalls are in waiting for inj
small, bravo soldiers all through life. J
wish I could always help them over."
"Phil, if you could choose for your llttls
son from all the temptations which wil.
beset him the one most to be feared, what
would It be?"
General Sheridan leaned Ulshead nsnlnul
the doorway, and said soberly: "It would
be the curse of strong drink. Boys ar«
not saints. We are nil self-trilled, strong
willed, may be full of courage and thrift
and push and kindness and charity, but
woe De to the man or boy who becomes t
slave to liquor. Oh, I had rather 9ee mj
little son die to-day than to see him carried
into hi 9 mother drunk! One of my bravti
soldier boys on the lleld said to me just be
fore a battle, when he gave me his mes
sage to his mother, if he should be killed,
'Tell her I have kept.my promise to her
Not one drink have I ever tasted.' Tht
boy was killed. I carried the messagt
with my own lips to the mother. Sh<
said: 'General, that is more glory for mj
boy than if he had taken a city."'—Presby
terian Banner.
Win Words From a Good Man.
Governor Buckingham, the good, wist
Governor of Connecticut years ago, gav«
his reasons for being a total abstainer li
these words:
"It is safer for me to abstain than to drink
If I should indulge in drink, I am afraid 1
should not stop at the line which many calj
temperance, but should become a slave tc
the habit, and with others of stronger nervt
and firmer purposes, go down to a drunk
ard's grave. If I indulge, I am not safe
We taik of the puritv and dignity of humai
nature, and of relying upon ourstdf-respeci
for security; but thore is no degradation s<
low that a man will not sink into, and nt
crime so hellish that he will not commit
when he is drunk. There is nothing s<
base, so impure, so mean, so dishonest, s<
corrupt, that a man will not do when undei
the law of sin—of appetite. Safety is to bi
found in not yielding ourselves to that law
But if it could be proved conclusively to mj
own mind that I could drink and never b(
injured, yet, with my views on the subject
it would be my duty to abstain. I coulc
not be certain but others, seeing me drink
might be influenced to drink also, and, bo
ing unable to stop, pass on the path of th<
drunkard. My example would, in that case
be evil. But, I ask, am I my brother'!
keeper? Yes, I am responsible for my in
lluence; and lest it shall beevll,lam unde,
a.high moral and religious obligation tf
deny myself that *blch may not injure me
but will injure him. If I neither taste, no>
touch, nor handle, nor countenance, ther
my example will not lead others to becomi
drunkards."
How They Do It in Manitoba.
"They have a very effective way of put
ting the brakes on inebriates up in Maui
toba," writes a correspondent. "When 0
man has been convicted twice or thrice o
drutkenness in the local police courts, hf
Is sentenced to wear a brass collar, whict
is a plain tip to saloon-keepers that he
a person to whom it is forbidden to sell anj
intoxicating beverages. No man with this
badge of disgrace can get a drink nny
where, for the law Is strictly respected. Thf
result is that in many cases an entire cure
is effected in the individual. Whenever th<
authorities think that the collar penalt}
has been endured long enough the collai
comes off, and the citizen is at liberty tc
get a drink."—Scottish Reformer.

Animal and Brain Power.
Tn individuals of the same species
pxtremes in size do bear some relation
to mental power, usually as coincident
tvitli deficiency. Very large dogs,
■melt ob tli n Great Dane, the St. Ber
nard fnf tbe show bench), and the
mastiff, are «eldom as intelligent as
Miove of medium size, even when con
stantly in their owners' company. It
is po'iible that the "Landseer" New
foundland is as intelligent as it is
courageous in aquatic feats, but re
corded instances are wanting. So
also "dwarfed" dogs, ths little crea
tures bred to bo carried in muffs, or
as fancy pets, are often stunted in
mind as well as in body. But thia

Opinion of Ui.
The admiration and interest mani
fested in the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's fleet are indescribable. Our
naval officers look upon it as a splen
did achievement, reflecting inexpres
sible credit on the officers and men of
rhe blockading squadron. Such is
the crushing disparity between the
naval capacity of the two nations that
it is believed that if the Spanish fleet
had been manned and fought by
American officers and crews, and Ad
miral Sampson's squadron led by Ad
miral Cervera and his officers and
men, the loss of life on the American
side might perhaps have been greater,
but the result would have been the
same. If proof were needed it is sup
plied by the gallant action of the
Gloucester, commanded by Lieuten
ant Wainwright. Wainwright's fail
ure to observe his Admiral's signal
is Xelsonic. The opinion of the pro
fessional experts coincides with that
of hard-worked lieutenants of the
Channel squadron. It is that the
American navy, both as regards per
sonnel and material, is now as near
perfection as skill, courage, practice
and discipline can attain, and is quite
as good as the best in tbe world.—
