All the Ordinary Ellorts at Perpetuation Are Dead Failures, (Copvrlirht, INI.) Washington, D. C.-In this discourse' Dr. lalmage shows how anv one can be widely and forever recollected and cheers despondent Christian workers; texts. Job jxiv, 20, "He shall be no more remem bered " and Psalms cxii, 8, "The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance." , Of oblivion and its defeats I speak to day, rhere is an old monster that swal lows down everything. It crunches indi viduals, families, communities, States, na tions, continents, hemispheres, worlds. Its diet is made up of years, of centuries, of ages, of cycles, of millenniums, of cons. That monster is called by Noah Webster and all the other dictionaries "Oblivion." It is a steep down which everything rolls. It is a conflagration in which everything is consumed. It is a dirge which all or chestras play and a period at which everything stops. It is the cemetery of the human race. It is the domain of for getfulness. Oblivion! Ai; times it throws a shadow over all of us, and I would not pronounce it to-day if I did not come armed in the strength of the eternal God on your behalf to attack it, to rout it, to demolish it. Why, just look at the way the families of the earth disappear. For awhile they are together, inseparable and to each other indispensable, and then they pt.rt, some by marriage going to establish other homes, and some lfnve this life, and a cen tury is long enough to plant a family, de velop it, prosper it and obliterate it. Co the generations vanish.

Walter Scott's Old Mortality may ?:o round with his chisel to recut the aded epitaphs on tombstones, but Old Oblivions has a quicker chisel, with which he can cut out a thousand epitaphs while Old Mortality is cutting in one epitaph. Call the roll of the armies of Baldwin I. or of Charles Martel or of Marlborough or of Mithridates or of Prince Frederick or of Cortes, and not one answer will you hear. Stand them in line and call the roll of the 1,000,000 men in the armv of Thebes. Not one answer. Stand them in line, the 1,750,000 infantry and the 200,000 cavalry of the Assyrian army under Ninue, and call the roll. Not one answer. Stand in line the 1,000,000 mea of Sesostris, tho 1,200,000 men of Artaxerxea at Cunaxa. the 2.641,000 men under Xerxes at Ther mopylae and call the long roll. Not one answer. At the opening of our Civil War the men of the Northern and Southern armies were told that if they fell in battle their names would never be forgotten by their country. Out of the million men who fell in battle or died in military hos pitals you cannot call the names of a thousand, nor the names of 500, nor the names of 100, nor the names of fifty. Oblivion! The world itaelf will roll into it as easily as a schoolboy's rubber ball rolls down a hill, and when our world goes it is so interlocked bv tho law of gravitation with other worlds that they will go, too, and so far from having our memory perpetuated by a monument of Aberdeen granite in this world there is no world in sight of our strongest tele scope that will be a sure pediment for any slab of commemoration of the fact that we ever lived or died at all. Our earth is struck with death. The axeltree of the constellations' will break and let down the populations of other worlds. Stellar, lunar, solar mortality. Oblivion! It can swallow and will swallow whole galaxies of worlds as easily as a crocodile takes down a frog. Yet oblivion does not remove or swal low anything that had better not be re moved or swallowed. The old monster is welcome to his meal. This world would long ago have been overcrowded if not for the merciful removal of nations and fenerations. What if all the books had ived that were ever written and printed and published? The libraries would by their immensity have obstructed intelli gence and made all research impossible. What if all the people that had been born were still alive? We would have been elbowed by our ancestors of ten cen turies ago, and people who ought to have said their last word 3000 years ago would snarl at us,-saying, "What are you doing here?" There would have been no room to turn around. Some of the past gener ations of mankind are not worth remem bering. The first useful thing that many people did was to die; their cradle a mis fortune and their grave a boon. 1 In all the Pantheon the weakest god dess is Clio, the goddess of history, and instead of being represented by sculptors as holding a scroll might better be repre sented, as limping on crutches. Faithful history is tho saving of a few things out of more things lost. The immortality that cou.es from pomp of obsequies or granite shaft or building named after its founder or page of recognition in some en eyolopedia is an immortality unworthy of one's ambition, for it will cease and is no immortality at all. Oblivion! A hundred years. But while I recognize this universal submergence of things earthly, who wants to be forgotten? Not one of us. Absent for a few weeks or months from home it cheers us to know that we aro remembered there. It is a phrase we have all pronounced, "I hope you missed me." Meeting some friends from whom we have been parted many years we inquire, "Did you ever see me be fore?" Ana they say, "Yes," and call us by name, and we feuls a delightful sensa tion thrilling through their hand into our hand and running up from elbow to shoulder and then parting, the one cur rent of delight ascending to the brow and the other descending to the foot, moving round and round in concentrio circles un til every nerve and rausclo aud capacity of body and miud r.nd soul is permeated with delight. Now, I have to tell you that this obli vion of which I have spoken has its de feats, and there is no more reason why we should not be distinctly and vividly and gloriously remembered five hundred mill ion billion trillion quadrillion quintillion years from now than that we should be remembered six weeks. I am going to tell you how the thing can be done and will be done. We may build this "everlasting remem brance," as my text styles it, into the su pernal existence of thoso to whom we do Kindnesses in this world. You must re member that this infirm and treacherous faculty which we now call memory is in the future state to be complete and rer- ' feet. "Everlasting remembrance!" Noth ing will slip the stout grip or that celes tial faculty. Did you help a widow pay her rent? Did you find for that man released from prison a place to get honest work? Did you pick up a child, fallen on the curb stone, and by a stick of candy put in bis hand stop the hurt on his scratched anecr d vou assure a business man. swamped by the stringency of the money market, I that times would after awhile be better? ( Did you lead a Magdalen of the street into a midnight mission, where the Xxird 1 said to her: ''Neither do I condemn thee. Uo and sin no morel" Did you tell a man. slear discouraged in his waywardness and hopeless and plotting suicide, that for him was neamy a laver, to wuiui uo mifclit wash and a coronet of eternal bless edness he might wear? What are epitaphs In graveyards, what are eulogiuma in presence of those whose breath is in their nostrils, what are unread biographies in the alcoves of a city library, compared with the imperishable records you have made in the illumined memories of those to whom you did such kindnesses? Forget them? They cannot forget them. Notwithstanding all their might and splen dor, there are some things the glorified of heaven cannot do, and this ia one of Tbey eannot forget an earthly kindness done. They luve not cutlass to part that cable. Tbey have no strength to hurl into oblivion that benefaction. Has Paul for gotten the inhabitants of Malta, who ex tended ths Wand hoioilUtv.-fcatn..b.o!lU otlWrt Wfth him had felt, added to a ship wreck, the drenching rain and the sharp cold? Has the victim of the highwayman on the road to Jericho forgotten the good Samaritan with a medicament nf oil and wine and a free ride to the hostelry? Have the English soldiers who went up to God from the Crimean battlefields forgotten Florence Nightingale? It is not half as well on earth known that Christopher Wren planned and built St. Paul's as it will be known in all heaven that you were the instrumentality of building a temple for the skv. We teach a Sabbath class, or put a Christian tract in the hand of a passer-by, or testify for Christ in a prayer meeting, or preach a sermon and go home discouraged, as though nothing had been accomplished, when we had been character building with a material that no frost or earthquake or rolling of the centuries can damage or bring down. Another defeat of Oblivion will be . found in the character of those whom we rescue, uplift or save. Character ie eter nal. Suppose by a right influence we aid in transforming a bad man into a good man, a dolorous man into a happy man, a disheartened man into a courageous man, every stroke of that work done will be im mortalized. There may never be so much as one line in a newspaper regarding it or no mortal tongue may ever whisper it into human ear, but wherever that soul shall go your work upon it shall go, wherever that soul rises your work on it will rise, and so long as that soul will last your work on it will last. Do you suppose there will ever come such an idiotic lapse in the history of that soul in heaven that it shall forget that you invited him to Christ; that you, by prayer or gospel work, turned him round from the wrong way to the right way? No such insanity will ever smite a heavenly citizen. Oh, this character building! The struc ture lasting independent of passing cen turies, independent of crumbling mauso leums, independent of the whole planetary systpm. Aye, if the material universe, which seems all bound together like one piece of machinery, should some day meet with an accident that should send worlds crashing into each other like telescoped railway trains, and all the wheels nf con stellations and galaxies should stop, and down into one chasm of immensity all the suns and moon and stars should tumble like the midnight express at Ashtabuls, that would not touch us and would not hurt God, for God ia a spirit, and charac ter and memory are immortal, and over that grave of a wrecked material universe might truthfully be written, "The righte ous shall be held in everlasting remem brance." O time, we defy thee! O death, we stamp thee in the dust of thine own sepulchers! O eternity, roll on till the last star has stopped rotating and the last sun is extinguished on tho sapphire pnthway, and the last moon has illumined the last night, and as many years have passed as all the scribes that ever took pen could describe by as many figures as they could write in all the centuries of all time, but thou shalt have no power to efface from any soul in glory the memory of anything we have done to bring it to God and heaven! There is another and a more complete defeat for oblivion, and that is in the heart of God Himself. You have seen a sailor roll up his sleeve and show you his arm tattooed with the figure of a favorite ship, perhaps the first one in which he ever sailed. You have seen a soldier roll up his sleeve and show his arm tattooed with the figure of a fortress where ho was garrisoned or the face of a great general under whom he fought. You have seen many a hand tattooed with the face of a loved one before or after marriage. This custom of tattooing is almost as old as the world. It is some colored liquid punc tured into the flesh so indelibly that noth ing can wash it out. It may have been there fifty years, but when the man goes into his coffin that picture will go with him on hand or arm. Now, God says that Be has tattooed us upon His hands. There can be no other meaning in the forty-ninth chapter of Isaiah, where God says, "Be hold, I have graven thee on the palms of My bands." It was as much as to say, "I cannot open My hand to help but I think of you. I cannot spread abroad My hands to bless but I think of you. Wher ever I go up or down the heavens I take these two pictures of you with Me. They are so inwrought into My being that I cannot lose them. As long as My hands last the memory of you will last. Not on the back 'of My bands, as though to an nounce you to others, but on the palms of My hands for Myself to look at and study and love. Though I hold the winds in My fist, no cyclone shall uproot the in scription of your name and your face, and though I hold the ocean in the hollow of My hand its billowing shall not wash out the record of My remembrance. 'Behold, I have graven thee on' the palms of My hands.' j What joy, what honor, sen there be comparable to that of being remembered by the mightiest and most affectionate being in the universe? Think of it to hold an everlasting place in the heart ot God I The heart of God! The most beau tiful palace in the universe. Let the arch angel build some palace as grand as that if lie can. Let him crumble up all the stars of yesternight and to-morrow night and put them together as mosaics for such a palace floor. Let him take all the sun 'rises and sunsets of all the days and the auroras of all the nights and hang them as upholstery at its windows. Let hint take all the rivers and all the lakes and all the oceans and tosa them Into the foun tains of this palace court. Oh, where is oblivion now? From the dark and overshadowing word that it seemed when I began it haa become some thing which no man or woman or child who loves the Lord need ever fear. Ob livion defeated. Oblivion dead. Oblivion 'aepulchered. But I must not be so hard on that devouring monster, for into its grave go all our sins when the Lord for Christ's sake has forgiven them. Just blow a resurrection trumpet over them when once oblivion has snapped them down. Not one of them rises. Blow again. Not a stir amid all the pardoned iniquities of a lifetime. Blow again I Not one of them moves in the deep grave trenches. But to this powerless resurrec tion trumpet a voice responds half hu man, half divine, and it must be part man and part God, saying, "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. ' Thank God for this blessed oblivion. So you see I did not invite you down into a cellar, but up on a throne; not into the graveyard to which all materialism is des tined, but into a garden all abloom with everlasting remembrance. The frown o my first text has become the kiss of the second text. Annihilation has become coronation. The wringing hands of a great agony have become the clapping hands of a great joy. The requiem with which we began dm become the grand inarch with which we close. The tear of sadness that rolled down our cheek has (struck the lip on which aits the laughter 'of eternal triumph. "THEY CARRIED LUNCH." A young Cleveland woman who teachcB a Sunday school class told her email flock several Sundays ago about the long journey of tho children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land, She described the march of the column through the wilderness, and told how the priests walked behind the vanguard bearing their sacred burdans.

Shechem was about fifty miles north of Hebron. Jacob owned pastures there (33: ID) and had dug a well. 13. "Send thee nnto them." Jacob no doubt had some anxiety about his sons, because he had removed from Shechem en account of the sins they had committed there; he therefore decides to send Joseph to learn of their welfare. He could trust Joseph, and he had no thought that his brothers would wish to injure him. 14. "Go, I pray thee." Joseph's mission to this remote and dangerous country is a proof that Jacob did not treat him with too much indulgence, and that he did not keep him home from any feelings of ten derness. Lions, bears, panthers and wolves were common in Palestine in those davs. 17. "Dothsn." This was about fifteen or twentv miles north of Shechem. 18. "When they saw him." Their en vious feelings rose up. Their occupation gave them abundant timn for gloomy med itation and for conversation. They doubt less brooded over their relations to Joseph, cherished revenge, and encouraged one an other in their enmity. "Conspired." Cun ningly plotted. "To slay hiin." This would have been a premeditated murder hiid they fully carried out their purposes. 10. "This dreamer cometh." "Master of dreams." R. V. margin. This was a form of speech conveying great contempt. 20. "And we will slay. From envy and malice they proceeded to conspire against the life of their brother, and then con trived a lie to impose upon their own fnther. 21. "And Reuben said." Reuben of all the brothers had the greatest reason to be jealous of Joseph, for, as the first born he was entitled to many of the favors which were being conferred upon Joseph; yet Reuben proves to be his best friend. 22. "Shed no blood." He did not dare to shed his brother's blood, neither did he dare manfully to save him. Reuben's real design was to find some way to restore Joseph to his father. 23. "Out of his coat." This probably was done that, if ever found, he might not be discerned as a person of distinction, and hence no inquiry would be made con cerning him. They also took the coat off to show to their father. 24. "Into a pit." One of the many res ervoirs excavated out of the solid rock or built of stones and plastered, fur the pur pose of holding rnin water. They were bottle-shaped, so that it was almost im possible to escape. There are thousands of such cisterns in upper Galilee; they prove how dependent the population was upon rain water. "Was empty." He was safe from drowning, but was left to die from starvation. What terribly wicked men thev must have been! 25. "Sat down to eat." They sat down to a joyous feast, eating and drinking the very dainties he had brought them, while thev left him to die. It was at this time. (Gen. 42: 21) that they "saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought them and they would not hear. Reuben wns not a partaker of that meal, but was off proba bly devising measures for the rescue of his brother. It is impossible that mere envy at his dreams, his gaudy dress, or the partiality of their father could have confirmed them in such awful wickedness. Their hatred of Joseph must have been produced by a dislike to his piety, on ac count of which they saw thev could never be at ease until they had rid themselves of his hated presence. This is the true so lution of the mystery, just as it was in the case of Cain. I John 3: 12. "Ishmael ites." Called also Midianites (vs. 28. 36). prnhablv because the caravan consisted of both of these. The ireneral meaning is Arabian merchants. ''From Gilead." A country east of the Jordan. "Spicery." Gilead was famous in early times for its snicea and aromatic gums. Jer. 8: 22; 40: 11. "Balm." This was a very precious gum obtained from the balsam tree, al most peculiar to Palestine. "To Egypt." Egvpt would be a great market for apices on account of their being used "for incense in the temples, and for embalming the dead." 26. "Jiidah." The fourth on of Jacob. His name menns "praise of the Lord." "What profit." What profit is there in sin at the best? 27. "Let us sell him." The sight of these traveling merchants gave a sudden turn to the views of the conspirators; for having no wish to commit a greater de gree of crime than was necessary for the accomplishment of their end, they readily approved of Judah's suggestion to dispose of their obnoxious brother as a slave. 28. "Sold Joseph." Acting impulsively on Judah's advice they had their poor vic tim readv by the time the merchants reached them. "Twenty pieces of silver." The money was probably in rings or pieces, and silver is alwaya mentioned in the records of that early age. before gold, on account of the rarity of the latter. In those days money was weighed and not coined. Twenty pieces (shekels) of silver was the price of a slave under twenty years of age (Lev. 27: 5), and according to the Oxford Bible was equivalent to f 1 1 .28. 29. "Reuben returned." Reuben had planned to rescue Joseph and send him home safclv as soon as his brothers had left him. But the thing was of God, who had designed that Joseph's deliverance should be accomplished by other means than his. "Rent his clothes." See on v. 34. 30. "Whither shall I go." Reuben was the eldest and Jacob would hold him re sponsible for Joseph's safety. ' 31. "Killed a kid." They dared not tell the truth, therefore they make lies their refuge. How true it ib that what we sow we reap! Jacob had deceived his father, and now in turn he is deceived by his. ions. St. "Sent the coot." All this was done and said by their servant whom they had tent. 34. "Rent sackcloth." The common ngns of Oriental mourning. A rent is made in the skirt more or less according to the afflicted feelings of the mourner, I ml a coarse, rough piece of black sack cloth or camel's hair cloth is wound around the waixt. "Many days." It was twenty-two vears before he saw him again. &V "All his daughters." Dinah is the only daughter of Jncob that we know tbout; his daughten'in-law are probably included here. 36. "Captain of the guard." His busi ness was to take care of the royal person tnd e'jsute his will. AS USUAL, SUE KNEW. Traffic was blocked on Fifth avenue In both directions waa strung out a long line of street cars and miscellane ous vehicles. The usual crowd had rushed to the point of disturbance, thus adding to the congestion.

He knew their faith, utter ance, knowledge, diligence, and love everything In which they so manifest ly abounded. But nnother grace he skillfully pleads with them to show. He yearns for them to prove in many ways their charitable disposition so that he may commend and boast of them for their generosity, by which they ought to be distinguished.
