makes ministers look pale. It la the In
Unity nf Interruptions nnd botherations to
which they are subjected. Numerically too
amalll It la no more tbe work of the pulpit
to convert nnd save tbe world than it la
the work of tbe pew. If men go lo rnln,
there will be as mnoU blood oo. your skirts
as on mine.
Let us quit this grand fnma of trying
to savn the world by a few clergymen,
nnd let all bands lay hold ot tba work.
Give os In all onr ohnrchoa two or
three aroused aud qualified men and
women to belp. In moat churchas to
day fire or ten men are eflreipellod to do
all the work. A vast majority of ohurches
re at their wits' end bow to carry on a
prayer meeting If the minister Is not there,
when there ought to be enough pent OD
energy and religious force to mnke a meet
ing go on with such power that tbe minis
tor would never bn missed. Tho church
stands worblog the pumpa of a few
ministerial clsteras .mill the buckets
are dry nud choked, while there nre
thousands of fountains from which
might be dipped up tho waters ot etnr
sal life. lieforo vox nud I have the
sed (res-ling our fynllds wn will under
God decide whether uur children shall grow
up amid the occurred surroundings of vice
und shame or come to an Inheritance of
righteousness. Long, loud, bitter will be
tbe curse that scorches our grave If, hold
ing within the church to-dny enough men
nnd women to save tho city, wo act the
coward or tbe droue. I wish I could put
enough moral explosives under tha con
ventionalities and majestic stupidities ot
the day to blow them to atoma and that
then, with 50, 0(H) men and women from nil
the churches knowing nothing but Christ
uud a desire to bring nil the world to Him,
we might move upon the eunmy's works.
For a littlo while heaven would not bnvo
trumpets enough to celebrate the victories.
Again, I learn from this subject that we
sometimes do well to take advantage of the
world's grindstones. These Israelites were
reduced to u file, and so they went over to
tbe garrison of the Philistines to get their
axes and tbelr goads and their plows
sharpened. The lilble distinctly states It
the text whlah I reud nt the beginning of
tbe service that they hud no other Instru
ments now with wbloli to do this work, and
the Israel lies did right when they went over
to the Philistines to use tbelr grindstones.
My friends, Is It not right for us to employ
the world's grindstones? It there be art,
If there be logic, If there be business faoul
ty on tbe other side, let ua go over and om
ploy it for Christ's sake. The fact Is we
llgut wltu too dull instrumeuta. We Iikck
nnd we tnnul when we ought to make a
cleun stroke. Lot us go over among sharp
business men nnd among sharp literary
men nnd flud out what tbelr tact la and
transfer it to the ennsu of Christ. If they
have science and art it will do us good to
rub against it.
In other words, lot us employ thnwor Id's
grindstones. We will listen to their music,
aud we will watch their acumen, und we
will use their grindstones, and will borrow
their philosophical apparatus to make our
experiments, nud wo wilt borrow tbelr
printing presses to publish our Bibles, nnd
we will borrow their rail trains to carry
our Christ luu lltorature, and we will borrow
their ships to transport our missionaries.
That was what made Paul such a master In
bia day. He not only got all the learning
be oould get of Dr. Gumnllol, but after
ward, standing on Mara bill and lu crowd
ed thoroughfare, quoted tiieir poetry, and
grasped their loglo, nnd wielded their elo
quence, and employed tbolr mythology un
til Dlooyslus, the Areopngite, learned In
the schools ot Athens nnd Hnllopolls, went
down under lira tremendous powers.
Tuiit was wbut gave Thomas Chalmers
ills power In his day. He conquered the
world's astronomy aud compelled It to ring
out the wisdom und greatness ot the Lord
until, for the second time, the morulug
stars sang together and ail the sons of God
shouted lor joy. That was what gavu to
Jonathan Edwards his inHuenaelu his day.
Ha conquered the world's metaphysics and
forced It Into the Borvice of God until not
only thu old meeting house at Northamp
ton, Mass., but nil Christendom, felt thrilled
by his Christian power. Well, now, my
friends, we all have tools ot Christian
power. Do uot let them lose tbelr edges.
We wnnt no rusty blades la this light. We
want no coulter that cannot rip up the
glebe. We waut no axe that cannot foil
tho trees. We wunt no goad thut cannot
start tbe lusty team. Let us get the very
best grindstones we can flud, though they
be lu possession ot the Philistines, compel
ling them to turn tbe crank while we bear
dawn with all our might on the swift re
volving wheel until nil our energies nnd
laeultles shall be brought up to a bright,
keen, sharp, glittering edgo.
Again, my subject teaches us on what
n small allowance Philistine Iniquity puts
n man. Yos, these Philistines shut up the
mines, and then they took the spears und
the swords; then they took the blacksmiths;
then they took tbe grindstones, and they
took everything but u file. Oh, I hut Is tho
way sin worksl It grubs everything. It
begins with robbery and ends witli rob
bery. It despoils this faculty nnd that
faculty aud keeps on uutll the whole nature
Is gone. Was the mnn eloquent before, it
geueruily thickens bis tongue. Was he fine
iu personal appenruuee, it mars his visage.
Was ho aflluont, it sends tbe sheriff to soli
blin out. Was he Influential, it destroys
bis popularity. Was be placid and genial
and loving. It makes him splouetiii and
cross, and so utterly Is be changed that
you can see be Is Biircnstlo and rasping and
that the Pblllstiuoa have left him nothing
but a file.
I learn from tbls subject w'nt a sad thing
It is wheu tbe church ot God loses Its
metal! These Philistines saw that It they
could only get all thu metallic weapons
out of tbo bands ot tho Isrnolltee all would
be well, und therefore tbey took tbeswords
und the spears. Tbey did not want them
to have n single metailla weapon. When
the metal ot the Israelites was goue, their
strength was goue. This is the trouble
with tbe oburob of God to-dny. It la sur
rendering its courage. It bus not enough
metal.
Oh, is It not high time that we awake
out of Hlcep? Churoli of God, lift up vour
head at the coming victory I Tho Phlllst lues
will go down, aud the Israelites will go up.
We are on the winning side. I think just
now tbe King's horses lire being hooked up
to tbe chariot, and when Ha does ride down
tho sky lliero will be such u bosaiiiiii
among Ilia friends and such a walling
among bis unamles ns will make the earth
tremble nud the heaven slug. 1 see uow
the plumes of thu Lord's cavalrymou
toistug in the all. The archangel be
fore the tbrono l;s already buruisliod
bis trumpet, aud then be will put Its gold
eujlps to his own, nnd he will blow the
loug, loud blnst that will make nil tbe na
tions free. Clap your hands, nil ye peo

Lesson Thoughts.
ThmiKh he mav be a total abstainer,
no man ran truly claim to be a real
temperance advocate while lie does
nothing to protect his neighbor from
the woes of strong: drink.
Ko honor belongs to the city or rov
ernment that is willing; to share in the
profits of the liquor business. Its pros
perity is blood-bought, and will some
day nave to be exchanged for the woe
that is . pronounced upon him that
"buildeth a town with blood, and estab
lished! a city with iniquity."
Selections.
An honest, auuressive campaign
against th? saloon entered into by
ail Christians, would cost the
Christian lawyer many a rich client;
the Christian editor, many subscriber
and adverliyrr: lhe preacher would lose
some of his congregation ; the politician
would lost some ol his votes. Hut it
would pay! Yes, if right pays, and
God pays.
If there were 110 temperate drinking,
there would be none that is intemperate.
Men do not begin by what is usually
called immoderate indulgence, but by
that which they regard as moderate . . .
Discontinue one and the other becomes
impossible.
The amethyst, a wrccious 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.',

THE BOER AS A FISHERMAN.
He Will sit for Hours Angling and
Hmoktiig.
Tho Roer Is no mean fisherman,
diven a plpo and a supply of his favor
ite weed, ho will sit for hours angling,
says tho London Mull. Very fine sort,
Indeed, may bo hud in any ot the
streams north of tho Orange river. Tho
only tackle required consists of the
usual coarso fishhooks and a strong
rod. On thn authority of Mr. Roland
Trlmon, F. L. S., und curator of tho
Cape Town museum, it may be stated
that no less than fourteen different
fresh water fish, varying from a bar
ber of seventy pounds to tho culper, or
burrowing perch, of less than a 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, aro the twenty-pound
yellow tall and a thirty-five
pound nondescript sort of fish which
merely require hooking and hauling
out with an ordinary cod line. From
tbe Orange river southward the fresh
water fishing Is very poor, but farther
north tho rivers nnd vlcis aro 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
Is dry, by burrowing deeply In the
ooze before It Uardona, and coming
forth again from tbelr muddy retreats
when the flood roturns.

MUSICAL PITCH.
A Mutter That I of ImporUnce to
Singers.
The quetitlon Is once more being
raised In this country of the desira
bility of a uniform musical pitch, says
Chamber's Journal. Some years ago
lhe Philharmonic society, In London,
decided to lower the pitch of Its or
chestra to that universal on the con
tinent; and. although there was somo
confusion nt first, the wisdom of that
movement Is now acknowledged. The
great bar to the common adoption of
tho lower pitch is that its acceptance
would render necessary tho provision
af 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 natter of alteration. of pitch,
but now, on the Initiative of Messrs.
Broad wood & Sons, they uro nearly all
expressing their willingness to adopt
tho lower pitch, provided thut the
movement is a general oe. The exact
pitch of a sound can bo accurately
measured by lis 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
08 degroes Fahrenheit, while tho lower
pitch which it Is proposed to adopt this

The Zulus a Fine Knee.
The Zulus are said to bn the finest
specimens of the black race in tho
world. They are mahogany-colored,
stalwart, intelligent and easily gov
erned. Those who pull the jlnrikishas
put the horns of animals on their heads
and fasten wings of large birds to their
arms. Their arms, legs, ears and nocks
are loaded down with iron and brasa
ornaments. No one Is allowed to sell
them any Intoxicating drink, conse
quently they are a very peaceful act.
THE PROFESSION OF SPY.
am
Past 80
and Not
a Gray Hair
" I have used Ayer's Hir
Vigor for a great many years,
and although I am past eighty
years of age, yet I have oot a gray
hair in my head." Geo. Yel
lott.Towson, Md., Aug. 3, 1899.
Have You
Lost It?
We mean all that rich, dark
color your hair used to have.
But there !3 no need of mourn
ing over it, for vou can find it
again.
Ayer's Hair Vigor always re
stores color to gray hair. Wc
know exactly what wc are say
ing when wc use that word
" always."
It makes the hair grow heavy
and long, too : takes out every
bit of dandruff, and stops fall
ing of the hair. Keep it on
your dressing table ana use it
every day. ti.M . totus. aii annus.

Necessary to Warfare and. Although
llasardnu. It Is Lucrative.
From the Iindon Mall: Tho word
'spy" has an ugly sound owing
:o Its many unpleasant associations,
yet in war times spies afford an army
td which la as valuable as It Is highly
remunerated. One of the maxims of
.'ommanding officers. In a book for
Ihclr guidance wrlten by Lord Wolsc
ley. Is that a successful spy must be
petted nnd made much of. Tho man
agement of spies is very difficult. Out
nf 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 nhall
Imagine that he Is the only that Is em
ployed. It Is very necessary that a
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 Bible of a certain
edition, a testament with the seventh
of fifteenth lent torn out aro generally
employed. By their means a spy who
was employed In a neutral state, mak
ing bla way to the headquarters of the
army In the field, con Id 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 thn ear and then to the
left ear, or some such gesture, is gen
erally employed. The more extensive
the ramifications of the system tho bet
ter are tho 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 be writ
ten In ink that does not become visible
until it has been subjected to some
chemical process. It Is also necessary
that a letter in ordinary Ink uhould in
variably be written on the name paper
containing tho information that it in
required to keep secret. Although a
spy runs the great risk of immediate
death if ho is detected, yet the service
Is not without glory at times, and It Is
certainly extremely lucrative.
