For a iittlo while beaven would not bnvo trumpets enough to ce ebrate the victories Again, I lentu from this subject that we sometimes do well to takeadviintageof the world's grludstoues. These Israelites wero reduced to u tile, and so they went over to tue garrison ot the I'hll st nes to ant their axes and their goads and their plows sharpened. The lllblo distinctly statin it the text which I reud nt the beginning of tbe service that tbey hud no other Instru ments now with which to do this work, and tbe Israelites did right when tbey went over to the Philistines to use their grludstonos. My frlonds, Is It not right for us to employ the world's grindstones? If thoro be art, If there be logic, It there be business facul ty ou tbe other side, let us go over and em ploy it for Christ's sake. The fnct Is we ngut witn too dull instruments. We hack nnd we maul whon we ought to make a clean stroke. Lot us eo over imnnn slmrti business men nnd among sluirp literary men nnd find out what their tact la nnd trunster It to the cnaso of Christ. It they have science and art it will do us good to ruo agntnst It. In other words, let usomploy tbewor Id's grindstones. We will listen to their music, uud we will watch tbelr acumen, und we will use their grindstones, and will borrow their philosophical apparatus to make our experiments, nud wo will borrow tholr priuting presses to publish our liililim, nnd we will borrow tbelr rail trains to carry our Christian literature, and we will borrow their ships to trnosport our missionaries. That was wbat mudnPaulsuoh a master in bis day. lie not only got all tbe learning he could get of Dr. Gamaliel, but titter, ward, standing on Mars bill nnd lu crowd ed thoroughfare, quoted their poetry, aud grasped their logic, and wlolded their elo quence, and employed their mythology un til Dlonyslus, the Areopngite, learned in thn schools ot Athens und Hellopolls, went down under bte tremendous powers. It Tnat was what gave Thomas Chalmors bla power in bis day. He conquered the world's astronomy and compelled it to ring out tbo wisdom und greatness ot tbe Lord until, for the seooud time, tbe morning stars sang together and all tbe sons ot Uod shouted for Joy. That was what gavo to Jeuathan Edwards his InHuenoelti his day. lie conquered tbe world's metaphysics aud forced It Into tbe service ot Uod uutll not only tbo old meeting bouse at Mortbamp toe, Muss., but all Christendom, felt thrilled by bis Christian power. Well, now, my friends, wo all huvo tools ot Christian power. Do not let tbem lone tbelr edges. We want no rusty blades In this fight. Wo want no coulter that caunot rip up the glebe. We want no nxe that euunot fell tbo trees. We want no goad that canuot start tbe lusty team. Let us get the very best grindstones we can flud, though they be lu possession of tbo Philistines, compel ling them to turn tbe ornnk while we bear down with all our might on tbe swift re volving wheel until nil our energies nnd Irtcultlce shall be brought up to a bright, keen, sharp, glittering edgo. Again, my subject teaches us on wbat a. small allowance Philistine Iniquity puts n man. Yds, these Philistines abut up tbe mlues, and tbon they took thn spears and tbe swords; then thev took the blacksmiths; tben they took the grindstones, and they took everything but n tile. Oh, that Is thn way sin works! It grubs everything. It begins with robbery nud ends with rob bery. It despoils this faculty nnd that faoulty aud keeps on uutll the whole nat are Is gone. Was tbe mnu eloquent before, It generally thickens bis tongue. Was he line In personal appearance, It mars bis visage. Was bo nniuont, It sends tbo sheriff to soil blin out. Was be Inlluentiiil, it destroys bis popularity. Was be placid and genlnl and loving, It makes him spleuetlu nud cross, and so utterly Is be chauged that you oau see be Is surcastla and riiBping nud i hat the Philistines have left blin nothing but a tile. I learn from this subject w'nt n sad thing It is wbeu tbe churuU ot Clod loses Us metal! These Philistines saw that If they bould only get all tbo metallic weapons out ot the bands of tbo Israelites all would be well, und therefore they look tbeswords und the spears. They did not want tbem to have n single metallic weapon. When the metal of the Israelites was gone, their strength was goue. Tills Is tbe trouble with tbe oburoli ot Ood to-dny. It Is sur rendering its courage. It bus not enough metal. Ob, Is It not high time that we awake out ot Bleep? Church ol Ood, lift up your bead at the aotulng victory! Tho Philistines will go dowo, uud the Israelites will go up. We are on tbe winning side. I think just now tbe King's horses lire being hooked up to the chariot, and when He rloos ride down tho sky there will be such a'boaniinu among His friends and suoh a walling niiioug bis enemies ns will make the earth tremble null the beaven slug. 1 see uuw the plumes of the Lord's cavalrymen totslug In the ulf.

Tlimtgli he may be a total abstainer, no man can truly claim to be a real temperance advocate white lie docs nothing to protect his neighbor from the woes ol strong drink. No honor belongs lo the city or eov- ernmeut that is willing to share in the profits of the liquor business. Its pros perity is blorxl-bougtit. and will some day have to be exchanged for the woe that is pronounced upon him that "buildeth a town with blood, and cslab lisheth a lily with iniquity." Selections. An honest, aggressive campaign against thv saloon entered into by all Christians, would cost the Christian lawyer many a rich client; the Christian editor, many subscribers and advertisers; the preacher would lose some of his congregation ; the politician would lost some of bis votes. Hut it would pay! Yes, if right pays, and God pays. If there were no temperate drinking, there would be none that is intemperate. Men do not begin by what is usually called immoderate indiilgcnce, but by that which they regard as moderate . . . Discontinue one and the other becomes impossible. The amethyst, a oretiotis stone of bluish purple color, was formerly sup posed to have the virtue ot curing drun kenness. Prayer for divine help is the amethyst to be carried by those who strive against the adversary. "Wine is a treacherous dealer." It promises health and gives disease; good cheer, and gives despair; friends, and gives foes; mirth, and gives wailing', tierce and ttnei-jling. C. E. Gospel Hytnn?. 3j, 44, 67, 78, 181, S40.

Tho only tackle required eonnlHts of the usual coarso fishhooks and a strong rod. On tho authority of Mr. Iloland Trlmon, F. Iu. 8., and curator of tho Cape Town museum, it may bo stated that no less thuu fourteen different fretth water fish, varying from a bar ber of seventy pounds to tho culper, or burrowing perch, of less than u quar ter of a pound weight, exist in the Transvaal streams, the latter being the only fresh water fish of tho country known to take a fly. The most com mon specimens, however, are the twen ty-pound yellow tail and a thlrty-flvo pound nondescript sort of fish which merely require hooking and hauling out with an ordinary cod line. From the Orange river southward the fresh water fishing is very poor, but farther north tho rivers nnd vlels are general ly well stocked. Even lakes which are only filled with water during the rainy season are often stocked with fish, which preserve life, when the bottom fs dry, by burrowing deeply in tho ooze before it hanlons, and coming forth again from their muddy retreats when the flood rot urns.

A Matter That Is of Importance to Singers. The qttPKtion Is once more being rained in this country of the desira bility of a uniform musical pitch, says Chamber's Journal. Some years ago the Phllhnrmonit! society, in London, decided to lower the pitch of Ha or chestra to that universal on tho con tinent; and, although there was some confusion at first, the wisdom of that movement In now acknowledged. The great bar to the common adoption or tho lower pitch Is that its acceptance would render necessary tho provision ?it new instruments of the various mili tary bands throughout the country, and the alteration, at great expense, of organs, both In concert halls and In churches. Pianoforte manufacturers have hitherto held a neutral position in this matter of alteration .of pitch, but now. on the Initiative of Messrs. Rroudwood & Sons, they aro nearly all expressing their willingness to adopt tho lower pitch, provided that the movement is a general one. The exact pitch of a sound can be accurately measured by Its number of vibrations per second; thus, the old pitch would mean for the note A a piano wire giv ing 454 vibrations at a temperature of C8 degroes Fahrenheit, while tho lower pitch which it Is proposed to adopt this an lit in u would mean only 439 vibra tions for ihe same note. The matter is one of great importance to singers, who have now to strain their voices In order to reach a higher altitude than thut intended by the composer whose works they interpret, for those compositions were written when the pilch was lower than now to be adopt ed as tho standard. ' The Zulus a Pine Kace. The Zulus are said to bo the finest specimens of the black race In tho world. They nre mahogany-colored, stalwart. Intelligent and easily gov erned.

Address, lr. J. C. AYS, Lowell, Haas. THE PROFESSION OF SPY. 5teessary to Warfare anil, Allhoiijb llasardons. It Is Lucrative. From the Ionilon Mall: Tho word "spy" has an ugly sound owing .0 its many uupleasHtit associations, pet In war times spies afford an army Id which Is as valuable as it is highly remunerated. One of the maxims of commanding officers, In a book for ihclr guidance wrltrn by ljord Wolse Icy, Is that a successful spy must be petted nnd made much of. Tho man agement of spies Is very difficult. Out of every ten employed by an officer commanding a war district he Is for tunate If one gives him truthful in formation. It is a most Important thing that spies should not bo known to each other. Great care Is generally taken by officers that each spy shall Imagine that he Is the only that Is em ployed. It la very necessary that all bona-flde spies should have about their persons some means of proving them selves really to be what they represent themselves. For this purpose a coin of a certain date, a filblo ot a certain edition, a testament with the seventh of fifteenth leaf torn out aro generally employed. By their means a spy who was employed In a neutral state, mak ing his way to the headquarters of the army In the field, could thus make himself known to the intelligence de partment there. In some instances It Is considered that a sign or password should be employed, as It Is less com promising. The putting up of tho right hand to the ear and then to the left ear, or some such gesture, is gen erally employed. The more extensive the ramifications of the system tbo bet ter are the chances for escaping detec tion. It is very necessary that officers of tne intelligence department should bo provided with specially prepared paper, upon which letters can bo writ ten In Ink that does not become visible until it has been subjected to some chemical process.
