The work is completed, nnd the lor tune is made. Have you not been in enough (rouble to have thnt work go on? 1 was reading oi Aristotle, w'io said there was a field ot flowers in rMcily so sweet that, once a hound, coming on (he (rack of game, rami' to (hut Ijcld and was bewildered by (he perfumes mid so lost th" tra-k. Oh! (hat our souls miuht laconic like "a held which the Lord hath blessed" and exhale so much of the sweetness of ( hiitiaii character that (he hounds of leiiinlntinii. coming on our truck, might lose it and go Howling back wi(h disappointment! Hut I remark ngain that (he grace of 'od is like (he salt in its preservative quality. Yon know (hat sail absorbs (he nioisdne of article of food ami infuse Iheni with brine, which preserve (hem for n long while. Salt is the great antipiilre laetor ol the world. Kxperimcnters, in preserving wood, have tried sugar nnd sruoke and nil -tight jars and evervthiug else, but as long as the world slnmls t.hnst words will be siiciestjvr. and men will admit (hat as a great preservative "salt is good." Hut for the grace of Ood the earth would have become a stale carcass long before this. That grace is the only preservative of laws and constitution nnd literatures. Just as soon as a government loses Ibis salt of divine grace it perishes. The philo sophy of this day, so fur a it is niitagonis. tic to this religion, putrefies and stinks. The grent want of our schools of learning nnd our instil ulions of wienie to-day i not more leyden jars and galvanic batter ies and spectroscopes and philosophical ap paratus, but more of that grace that will teach our men of science that the (iod of the universe is the (iod of the Itible. How strange it is that in all their mng nilicent sweep of the telescope they have not seen the morning star of Jesus, and that in all their experiment with light, nnd heat they have not seen the light mid felt the warmth of (he Sun of Highteoiisness! Ne want more of the salt of (.iod grace in our homes, in our schools, in our col leges, in our social hie, in our Ohristianhv. And (hat which ha it will live; that which lias it not will die. 1 proclaim the tenden cy of everything earthly to pulrefnctinn and death, the religion of Christ the only preservative. Jlv subject in one of grent congratulation to those who have within their soul thi gospel nntisentie. Thi alt will preserve them through the temptation nnd dor rows of life and through the age of eter nity. I do not mean to say (hat you will have a smooth time because you arc a Christum. On the contrary, if you do vonr whole duty 1 will promise you a rough lime. You march throuuh an etietnv'a country, and they will try to double 'up both hanks and to cut you off from vour source of mipplie. The war you wage' will not lie with toy arrow, but word plunged to the hilt, and spurring on your steed over heap of the slain. Hut 1 'think that, (oil omnipotent will see vou through. I know lie will. Hut why do I talk like an iilheist when I ought to say I know He will? "Kept by the power of f.'od through faith unto complete salvation." When (iovernor (ieary, of l'ennsvlvnnia, died yenrs ngo I lost a good friend. He impressed me mightily wilh the horror of war. In the eight hour thnt we rode to gether in the ears he recited lo me the scene through which he had passed in tlie civil war. He said that there cmnc one bal tie upon which everything seemed to pivot. Telegram from Washington said Unit (he life of the nation depended on that snuggle. He said to me: "I went into that battle, sir, with my son. His mother nnd I thought everything of him. You know how a father will feel toward hi mm who is coming up manly and brave nnd good. Well, the battle opened and con centered, and it wa awful. Horse and rider bent and twisted and piled up to gether. It wa nwful, sir. We quit liring and took to the point of the bnvonet. Well, sir, 1 didn't feel like myself thnt day. 1 had prayed to tiod for Btrength for that particular battle, and I went into it feel ing thnt I had in my right nrm the strength of ten giant," and n the Gov ernor brought hi arm down on the back of the sent it fairly made the ear tremble. "Well," he said, "the hnttle wn desperate, but nfter awhile we gained a little, and we marched on a little. I turned round to the troops nnd shouted, 'Come on. boys!' nnd I stepped across a dead noldier, aiid lo, it was my on! 1 saw at the first glance he was dead, and yet I did not dare to stop a minute, for the crisis had come in the bat tle, so I just got down on my knees, and I threw my nrm around him, nnd I gave him one good kiss and said, 'flood-by, dear,' and sprang up and shouted. 'Come on, boys! " So it is in the Christian con flict. It i a fierce tight. Heaven i wait ing for the bulletins to announce the tre mendous issue. Hail of shot, gash of sa bre, full of battleax. groaning on every side. We cannot top lor loss or bcreavemeut or nnything else. With one ardent em brace and loving kiss we utter our fare well and then cry: "Come on, boy!" There ore other height to be captured, there arc other foe In be conquered, there arc other crown Jo lie won." Yet n one ol the Lord' surgeons I must bind up two or three wound. Just lift them now, whatever they be. I have been told there is nothing like salt to ton (he bleeding of a wound, and o I take this salt of Christ' gospel and put it on the lacerated soul. It smarts a little nt first, but see. the bleeding stop, and lo the flesh come aguin as the flesh of a little child! "Suit is good." "Comfort one unolhej' with these word." 'NEWSY CLEANINGS.

"Could not be hid." It ecm that He wn personallv known to many in this eonntrv. who had often een and heard Him in (ialilee. 2.1. "Whose young daughter." The ac tual suirerings of the daughter were great but the suffering which the mother en dured hv sympathy were still greater. Our (tillering for others are great In liroportion to the nmoiit of love we have lor them. Hence the greatest sufferer on earth was Christ. "Had an unclean spir it. Matthew says her daughter was 'grievously vexed with a devil." This wa certainly a sad case. Nothing can destroy the peace of n home more than to have n ilaiighler pos-esseil wilh Satanic influence, ' l-'ell nt His feet." This nt once shows the humility oi (he woman; she assumed tho most lowly attitude possi ble as she nupenls to His mercv. 'X. "Woman wn a Ureck." Hv Ian puage. The Jew called those who were idohilors lireek. or (Icntilcs. "A Syro phnenicinn by nation." A Syrophoeiiiciuu. l'hoenicia Is'longeil to the ltoman prov ince Svria. She wa a Svriau of I'liocni riii. Matthew says she was "a woman of Canaan." During the earliest times of Jewish hisduy several tribe of Canaaii ite. who were the original inhabitant of rnlestine. had retired northward before the Israelites. From these the l'hoeni ciaus were descended. "Hcsought Hun." Karncstly entreated Him. The ease wa un urgent one, and. on her knees, nl Hi feet, she poured out her request. "That He would cast forth." She believed lie had power to do this. Matthew says she "cried unto Him saving. Have mercy on me, () Lord, thou sou of David." ' She plead for mercy: she knew she eon hi make no claim upon Him in any other way. The woman recognized Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. The state of this woman is a proper emblem ol the state of a in ner, tlceplv conscious of the misery of his soul. There are many rxccllencies'con tained in her prayer. I. It is hort. 2. Jesus i recognized in IMr divine tmtut-e. 3. Her pirn is for mercy. 4. She i in earnest. 5. It is humble. (I. It is of fered in fiith. 7. She perseveres. If sinner wni.ld cry to (io.l tor deliverance h thi won an did they would soon lie lilK-rated fron their sins. "The devil out of her daughter." Hera i n plain, straightforward confession. There is no effort to cover up the family troubles and glos over matter, and make it appear thnt. after all, her daughter i "quite re hpectable.'' 27. "Hut Jesus said unto ner." This woniun' discouragement were great. 1. Her advantage had been small. She wa a heathen woman with but little means of even obtaining the light of the Hebrew Scripture. 2. At lirst Jesu did not re ply to her request. Mutt. l.V. 24. .'). The disciples besought 1 1 nil to send her nw ny. 4. W hen Jcsu did speak He seemed to repel her. The soul seeking Hulvation fre quently meet these same tests, and many become discouraged by them. "Let the children." The Jews. "First be filled." They are the tavored people. The gospel was first to be offered to the Jew and ( to them our Lord's personal ministry on eurin wu cniciiy lesincteil. .lexu told her that Hi blessings were for the lost of Israel. Matt. 15:24. Thi would have caused people with ordinary faith to have given up the struggle, but not so with this woman; she cuuie now and worshiped Him, saying, Lord help me. Matt. 15:2.r. Seemingly repelled she still worshiped. Here wa a personal, direct, simple, com prehensive, humble prayer. "For it is not meet." It is not suitable not the p ro ller thing to do. "To take the children' bread." To take those blessings that lie long to the Jew. "And to cast it unto dog," This was the severest test of all. The fJentilc were considered by the Jew ish people a no better than dog, nnd Jesu only used a form of speech which was common; but "it must have been very offensive to the heathen." Would thi wo man resent it ? Would her pride nt lut be stirred? No. She "shrunk and hriv clcd" into nothingness at Hi feet, and her faith still held on for the desired blessing. 28. "Yes, Lord." Truth, Lord. Mat thew. It is all o. The Jews the favored one ought to be blessed first. 1 know I am a heathen only n (letitilc dog, yet Now follows, (1( an answer to Hi argu ment against entertaining her Htition. nnd (21 a most touching appeal to Hi clemency. "The dogs eat of the chil dren' crumbs." 1 only ask such kindness a the dog of any family enjoy. 1 would not take one ot the blessing that belong to the Jew, but out of 'I lime infinite ful ness, Thou canst give me thi crumb I ask, and not impoverish them. Hv thi she shows her high renal d for ( 'linn's power; "even the mighty blessing ho wa asking wa but u crumb to Mini." She would he glad to receive a crumb; those who are conscious that they deserve nothing lire thankful for the smallest fa vor. 2H. "For tin taying.'' Her faith had triumphed. Jesu said. "( woman, greut i thy faith." M.ittnew. The hindrance thrown in the woman' way onlv tended to increase her faith. Her faith resem ble a river, which becomes enlarged by trie dike opposed to it, until at last it sweep them entirely awav. There were several other grace that shone bright in her; wisdom, humility, meekness, pa tience, perscrverunce in prayer; but these were the product of her faith, and there fore Christ commend that, because, of all graces, faith honor Christ most; there fore, of all grace Christ honor tuithmost. "The devei) is goue out." Now nt this very moment thy request is granted. Though our Lord.' missbo was to the lost sheep of Israel, yet lie always honored personal faith in Himself, wherever found. Per severing faith and prayer are next to om uipniiteiit. No person can thus pray and iM'lieve without receiving all hi soul re quires. This woman had asked a crumb, nnd had received a whole Inuf of ihe chil dren's bread. Although a heathen she now took her pluce by the side of Jacob ami Moses, for bIic had prevailed. M.

There Is at least one lady In Ken wood v,ho believes thoroughly in the efflcacy of prayer. About a year ago her husband engaged in a business venture that looked rather uncertain. Hut his wife had strong faith that It would turn out well. "Uo ahead, Johu." she said, "and let us put our trust in the Lord. I pray every night that we inuy have no reason to regret the risk wo are taking." Tho affair seem ed to turn out pretty well right from the start. Handsome dividends were paid all through the summer and dur ing tho winter and great Joy was In the home of this man nnd the shaver of his fortunes. Hut there came a turn about a month ago. The busi ness ceased to pay, and since then the losses have been Increasing every day. Nothing was said about it at the iire Eldo around which so much happiness had centered during tho past year until the other day, when it was sug gested by the husband that it would be well to cut down expenses. Ques tions followed, as a matler of course, and then it had to be confessed that the business was not going well. "Pear me!" exclaimed the distressed lady, when all the truth had been re vealed to her, "I must begin praying again tonight!"

Your body, the house your soul lives in, also becomes filled up during the winter with all manner of filth, which should have been removed from day to day, but was not. Your body needs cleaning inside. If your bowels, your liver, your kidneys are full of putrid filth, and you don't clean them out in the spring, you'll be in bad odor with yourself and everybody else all summer. DON'T USE A HOSE to clean your body inside, but sweet, fragrant, mild but positive and forceful CASCARETS, that work while you sleep, prepare all the filth collected in your body for removal, and drivii it off softly, gently, but none the less surely, leaving your blood pure and nourishing, your stomach and bowels clean and lively, and your liver and kidneys healthy and active.
