His child, rush in to criticise or arraii"i or condemn (he divine government ? No. The cab inet of the eternal three can govern and will govern in the wisest and best wav, and there never will be a mistake nnd. like razor skillfully swung, shall cut that which ought to be avoided.

Further, my text tells us that (iod sometimes shaves nations: "In the same day shad the lord shave with a rami that is hired." With one sharp sweep lie went across .ludra, and down went its pride nnd lis power. In ISill (iod shaved the American nation. We had allowed to glow Snlihath desecration and oppression and blasphemy and fraud and imnnritv nnd all sorts of turpitude. The South hail its sins ami the North had its sins and the Kast its sins and the West its sins. e hud been warned again nnl ngnin, and we did not heed. At length the sword of war cut from the St. l-awicncc to the (lulf and from Atlantic scaioard to Pacilie sea hoard. The pride of the land, not the cowards, but the heroes, on both sides went down. And that which we took for the sword of war was the Lord razor. In IWI2 again it went across the land: in lM.'l again: in IMI4 again. Then the sharp instrument was incased and put away. tine would think that our national sym bol of the eagle might sometimes suggest another eagle, that which ancient Home carried.

Ask (libboii. the historian, in his prose poem, the "Decline and Fall of the liomnu Kmpire." Ask her gigantic rui:is beuioatiiug their sadness through the Hues, the Mercei-h owl at windows out of which worldwide conqucrcrs looked. Asl; the day of judgment, when her crowned debauchees, t'onimoilus nnd Per tinax und (uligiilu nnd Diocletian, shnll answer for their in fumy. As nmu and as nations let us repent and have our trust in it pardoning (iod rather than depend on former successes for immunity. Out of thirteen of the greatest battles of the world Napoleon had lost but one before Waterloo. Pride and destruction often rode in the same saddle. Iit notice once more and more than nil in my text that (!od is so kind und loving that when it is necessary for Him to cut He has to go to others for the sharp edged weapon. "In the same day shall the Lord shave with it razor that is hired." Cod is love, (iod is pity, (iod is help, (iod is shelter, (iod is rescue. There are no sharp edges about Him, no thrusting points, no instruments-of lacera tion. If you want balm for wounds, lie has that. If yon want divine salve for eyesight, lie has thai, lint if there is sharp and cutting work to do which re quires a ni.'oc. that lie hires, (iod has nothing ubotil lliin that hurls save when diri' necessity demands, and then lie bin to go clear oil' to some one else to get the instrument. This divine clcniciny will b no novelty t. those who have pondered the ( alvnccun massacre, where (iod sub merged ilimsell' in human tcavs and crim loncil Himself from punctured aricrics nnd let the terrestrial and iiil'ernnl worlds maul 1 1 i in until the chunilclicrs of the sky had to be turned out hecuuso the uni verse could not endure the outrage. Illus trious lor love lie must have been to take all that as our subilit utc. pa ing out of Ills own heart the price of our admission al the gates of heaven. King Henry II. of Fngland crowned his son as kiii'i, ami on the day of coronation put on a servant's garb and waited, he, the King, at the son's table, to the aston ishment of ii 1 1 the princes, jtul we know ot a more wondrous scene, the King of heaven and enrtli oll'ering to put on you, His child, the crown of life and in the form of a servant waiting on you with blessing. Ktol that love, all paiuliiig, all sculpture, all music, all architecture, all worship! In Dresdeuiau gallery let Ra phael hold Him up us a child, and in Ant werp cathedral let Rubens hand Him dow n from the cross as a martyr and Han del make all his oratorio vibrate around that one chord "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities." Hut not until nil the redeemed gel home .mil from (he countenances in all the gal leries of the ransomed shall be revealed the wonders of redemption shall either man or seraph or archangel know the height and depth and breadth of the love of (Jod. At our national capital a monument in honor of him who did more than any one to achieve our American independence wan' for scores of years in building, and most of us were discouraged und said it never would be completed. And how glad we all were when in the presence of the highest olliciuls of the nation tho work was done! Hut will the monument to Him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed f For ages the work ha been going up. Kvungelists and npostleg and martyrs have been add ing to tho heavenly pile, und every one of the millions of redeemed going up from earth has made to it contribution of glad ness, anil weight of glory is swung to tho top of other weight of glory, higher and higher as the whole millenniums roll, sap phire on the top of jasper, sardonyx on the top of chalcedony and chrysoiirusus above topaz, until fur beneath shall be the walls and towers and domes of our earth ly Capitol, a monument forever und for ever rising and yet never done: "(Into Him who has loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood and inudu us 'kings and priests forever."

A 9-year-old boy named Inane Lip son, who lives In Chelsea, Mass., woi oporated on for appendicitis a few day since with a rather unusuul result Hospital physicians found the appen dix In bad condition and on making an incision In It, there was encountered a wire nail, one Inch In length. It was successfully removed. From a medical standpoint the operation was an Interesting one. Since the discov ery of appendicitis there have been many foroign substances found In the diseased organ, but this Is the first time In the history ot medical sclenco that such a thing as a nail has been found. The nail was badly rusted. A Monopoly of Volcanoes.

Jesus had just admonished them against undue anxiety about tempor nl nlfairs (vs. 2-32). und now lie gives nn ndmnnition to watchfulness. "And vout light burning." The master was likely to return at nny hour of the night, and in or der to be ready to receive him their light must be burning. 3fl.('('Vhen he will return from the wed 'ling. I he Jewish weddings were con ducted with great pomp. The ceremony was usually performed in the night. The festivities lasted from three to seven dnvs. 'Hint when he comet h." As these serv ants waited, with girded loins and burning lights, all readv to meet their master and run at his Inditing ns soon as he ap proaehed; so we arc to wait for the com ing of our Master. Wait (I) with eager longing and (2) with joyous expectation. May open immediately." Tew will thus open immediately." They will have some thing to do first will have to get ready. 17. "Hlessed." Those who are readv nre blessed nnd are highly honored bv theii master. "When Jle cometli." Christ re turns to all from the heavenly wedding at the end of the world, when He has taken to Himself His bride the church; to each individual lie comes when He stands sud denly before a man nt the hour of death. "Shall find wnlehing." 'e arc to watch against temptations from within nnd with out; ngainst M-rvading iniquities which till the air with moral malaria, and even chill the piety of the church; against failure in duty; against the loss of the warmth nl love; against the day of death and ol judgment, so as to be prepared for them when they come. We are also to watch fot the coining of the Ijord: watch for it with hope and joy; watch for the signs of His special presence and power; watch for openings to serve Him by helping His pool children: watch for opportunities of com forting the sad. upholding the weak, re claiming the erring, teaching the ignorant, leading men to Jesus, aiding His cause. "(Jird himself serve them." Whatevel we do for (1ml He will do in return fot us. It is unusual for masters to wait upon their servants, but Jesus Christ was among His diHciples us one that served. See John l.'l: 4, 5. This ulso signifies the joy with which they shall be received into the other world by the lird Jesus, who has gone be fore to prepare for them, and hns told them that His Father will honor them John 12: 2(1. iW. "The second or third watch." The Jews had adopted the Roman custom oi dividing the night into four watches. Thf hist watch was from six to nine, the sec nnd from nine to twelve, the third Iron twelve to three, the fourth from three t: six. ."". "ifiid known what hour." The house holder's ignorance of the time when tin thief would come is the reason why he does not watch. He cannot always kce awake, bo he has to go to sleep and it rohhed. Rut our ignorance is the reason for wakefulness, because we can keep spir itually awake all through life. The house holder watches to prevent, but wc tr. share in that for which the watch is kept Rut with all the obscurity thus intention ally thrown around the day and the houi of Christ's coming, let us not lorget that no obscurity, no uncertainty bangs around the great event itself. Iii the Kast the State punishes, but leaves the prevention and detection of theft and robbery to the individual interested. Hence the watch man is necessary and important every where. 411. "Re ye therefore ready." Alway ready so we will never be taken unawares Watchfulness insures readiness; readiness insures safety. Indifference marks the way to sin und despair. A scrintiiral preparation includes repentance and con version. "Cometh when ve think not." See 1 ThcsS. 8: 2; 2 Pet. i): 10. We should resist the temptation to spiritual drowsi ness. Nothing is much worse than a sleepy religion, ltcv. il: 10. 41. "Peter said unto him." This apos tle was the one who afterward most need ed the admonition (.Matt. 2U: 74), and ir so sad n manner forgot it. Those whe stand in most danger ure often slowest lc prolit by words of warning. "Cnto ns, oi even to' all." Is it meant for us us Thine apo-tles, or for all men? Our Lord in llu answer in speuking of a slewurd, ii'ti mutes that the parable has its highest ref erence to the ministers and rulers of Hi church; but shows at the close (v. 4H) that it applies to every one according to the measure of his knowledge nnd of tho du lies laid upon him. 42. "l-'aithful and wise steward." Th( r.teward was a middle ncrson between tin master and slave, and hud the care of the whole household. It was a post of eonli deuce in which faithfulness was required As the steward to the rest of the serv ants, so should the atiostles stand with ref erence to other believers. "Shall make ruler." That one would be made rulet who had previously proven himself faith ful nnd wise, who attended to his diitie during his master's absence with the same fidelity that he did when he was present "To give meat." As (iod's stewurds we should be ready to give out to others what He places ut our disposal. 4.'). "Hlessed." He is blessed in his deed; he rejoices because be is found in the faith fid performance of his duties by his Lord anil he is blessed with n high promotion "Shall find so doing." We see here whal Christ means by watching; "not gazing uf Into the heavens lor signs, but the faith fill performance of duty." 44. "He will set him over all that h( hatli." (R. V.) So each saint owns all ol (Iod's possessions, even now. 1 Cor. 3: 21, 22. The reward is both outward and in wurd; more glories and blessings and joys and lurger capacities for usefulness ana en joyment. To him that hath shall lie given. 45. "Say in his heart." If, instead o! being faithful the servant begins to pint wickedness and to uctually enter into sin u different "portion" will bo appointee him upon his lord's return. "Delayeth hii coming." The fact that Christ's comin( is deluved causes the love of many to wui cold. 2 Pet. 3: 3, 4. "To eat and drink Self-indulgence is a very common sin. "Tt lie drunken." This was not only a com mini und terribly destructive sin in Christ'i lime, hut it is the suine to-day. The li censed saloon is the direct road to "degra dation, vice, tho gambling hell, the broth el, poverty, wretchedness, want, robhery prison, the gallows, the drunkurd's gruve hell." 40. "When be looketh not." Tho Lore will come suddenly und cull every one ti an account. "Will cut him in sunder.' This was 11 most terrible method of exo cuting criminals, anciently. "With the un believers." Read Rev. 21: 8. IIoit a Soldier I'ecls In Itattle. Tho worst time the soldier passes through, says a veteran. Is not when he Is under fire no matter how thick tho bullets fly but about halt an hour before the battle begins. Whether a man Is a novice or an old campaigner, be Is pretty sure to feel solemn then. His thoughts turn toward his home and friends; he speculates on the pos sibility that he may be spending his last hours on earth. In fact, nothing makes so great an Impression on tho soldier's mind as the time he spends just before the battle. It sobers the most daring and reckless men. Out the mood soon passes. Within five or ten minutes after the firing has com menced all the depression has disap peared and Is succeeded by a feeling of keen excitement, amounting In some cases to a regular frenzy. Tho soldier sees his comrades falling around him, but tho only impression, as a rule, is one of regret, with possibly an idej that tholr death must be avenged. Bicycles are now largely uaea.

One of the chief subjects of the dis cussion nniong the captains and mas ters of vessels is the difference be tween the Canadian and American marine rules which Rovern navigator.": In Canadian water during foggy weather. The signal used, according to the Canadian rules during fog, Ir, one long blast of the whistle, to he blown at short Intervals, or the ringing of a bell. The American Blgnal Is three short blasts. With this differ ence In the law captains and master find some difficulty during foggy or bud weather, especially when vessels aro passing one another In the Welland canal and such places. During the re cent foggy weather much dllllculty wus experienced in this respect at the en trance of the Welland canal at Port Dalhoiihle. Navigators of both coun tries recognize the great disadvantage they are at with this difference In their danger Hlgunlh, and do not hesitate to say thut a uniform code of signals should bo adopted by both countries making it nn international law.- If a woman's crown of glory is her hair, Jessie Fraser, of Fine, N.Y., must be a queenly woman.
