tell you tluit Hod's iirai e i a bridge not
built on earthly piers, hilt upendcd nm
spnniiing the nwftil ilintiu of your itilt,
one end resting upon the rock or eternal
promises and the other on the foundations
of heaven. Demetrius wore a rnlie so in
rriihted with jewels that no one alter him
ever dared to wear il. Hut our King. Jesus,
takes otV the robe of His righteou-ncss. a
robe blood dyed ami heaven impearled,
nnd reaches it mil to the worst wretch in
nil the earth and sav: "Put that on! Wear
it now! Wear it forever!"
Again, the grace of (iod is like sail in
the way we come nt it. The snlt on (he
surface is nlmost always impure thnt
which inen.'st the Jfocky Mountains and
tile .South American pampas and In iintiu
-but the miners go down through the
"bait" and through the dark labvrinths nnd
along by gnlleries of rock, 'and with
torches nnd pickaxe", find their way under
I he very foundations of the earth to where
the milt he that make up Hie nation'
wealth. To get to the best saline springs
of the earth huge machinerv goes down,
boring depth below depth, ' depth liclow
depth, until from under the verv roofs of
the mountain the saline water supplies
the iiipiedui't. This water i" brought to
l.'ic "iirfnce and is exposed in tank" to the
sun tor evaporation, or it. is put ill boilers
mightily heated nnd the water evaporates,
nnd the salt gather" nt the bottom of (he
tank. 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."

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. "Laid upon the bed." A (ign of
her perfectly tniuoiiil condition ; the de
mon had previously driven her hither and

Warding Oft Danger.
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!"

Every spring you clean the house you
live in, to get rid of the dust and dirt which
collected in the winter. 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. Try a JO-cent box today, and if
not satisfied get your money back but you'll see how the cleaning of your body is
