An old army surgeon who was fond of
a joke, if not perpetrated nt his own ex
pense, was one day at a mess when a
wag remarked to the doctor, who had
been somewhat severe in his remarks on
the literary delinquencies of some of the
officers appointed from civil life: "Doc
tor, are you acquainted with Captain
G.?"
"Yes, I know hini well," replied (he
doctor, "But what of him?"
"Nothing in particular," replied the
officer. "1 have just received a letter
from him, and I wager you a case of
wine that you cannot tell in five guesses
how he spells cat."
"Done, said the doctor; "it's a
wager."
"Well, commence pucssing," said the
officer.
"K-a-douhle-t."
"No."
"C-at-e."
"No, try again."
"K-a-te."
"No, you've missed it again."
"Well, then," replied the doctor, "c-a-douhlc-t."
"No. that's not the way; try once
more ; it's your last guess.'
"C-a-g-t'
"Well," said the doctor, with some
petulance of manner, "how docs he
spell it?"
"Why, he spells it c-a-t," replied the
wag with the utmost gravity, amid the
roars of the mess, and. almost fhoking
with rage, the doctor sprang to his feet,
exclaiming : "Gentlemen, I urn loo old

"THE IRON DID SWIM."

Superior to Every Law of Nature Which He
Has Made for Mankind.
Washwotos, D. C In this discourse

Kings vi, 6, "The iron did swim."
A theological seminary in the valley of
palms near the River Jordun, had become
so popular in the time of Elisha, the pro
phet, that more accommodations were
needed for the students. The classrooms
and the dormitories must be enlarged or
an entirely new building constructed.
What will they do? Will they send up to
Tcrusnlem and solicit contributions for
this undertaking? Will they send out
agents to raise the money for s new theo
logical seminary? Having raised the
money, will they send for cedars of Leb
anon and marble from the quarries where
Ahab got the etone for the pillars and
walls of his palace? No; the students
propose to build it themselves. They
were rugged boys, who had been brought
up in the country and who had never
been weakened by the luxuries of city life.
All they ask is that Elisha, their professor
and prophet, go along with them to the
woods nnd boss the lob. They start for
the work, Elisha and liis students. Plenty
of lumber in those regions along the Jor
dan. The sycamore is a stout, strong
tree and good for timber. Mr. Gladstone
asked me if I had seen in Palestine any
sycamore tree more beautiful than the one
tie stood under at Hawarden. I told him
I h.id not.
The sycamores rear the Jordan are
now attacked by Klisha's students, for
they must have lumber for the new theo
logical seminary. 1 suppose some of the
students made an awkward stroke, and
thov were cxtemnorized axemen. Stand
from under! Crash goes one of the trees
nnd another nnd another. But something
now happens so wonderful that the occur
rence will ini the credulity of the ages, so
wonderful that numv still think it never
happened at all. One of the students, not
able to own on axe, had borrowed one.
i on must remember that while the axe ot
o'den time was much like our modern axe,
it differed in the fact that instead of the
he'.ve or handle b?ing thriirt into a socket
in the iron head the head of tho axe was
fastened on the hnnd.o by a leathern
thona. and so it might sliD tho helve. A
student of tho seminary was swinging his
axe against one of those trees, and whether
it was at the moment he made his first
stroke and the chins flew or was after he
had cut tho trrc froi all sides so deep
that it wis ready to fall we are not told,
but the axe head and ths handle parted
Being near the riverside, the axe hend
dropped into river and sank to the muddy
bottom. Great was the student's dismay.
If it had been his own axe, it would have
been bad tnourrh, but the axe did not be'
long to him. He had no means to buv an
other for the kind man who had loaned it
to him, but God hclDS through sonic good
and sympathetic soul, and in this case it
was i.ltsha who was in the woods nnd on
the river bank at the time. He did not
see the axe head fly off. and so he asked
the student where it dropped. He was
shown the place where it went down into
the river. Then Elisha broke off a branch
of a tree and threw it into the water, and
the axe head rose from the depths of the
river and flouted to the bank, so that the
student had just to stoon down and take
up the restored property. Now you see
the meaning of my text, lhe iron did
swim."
Suppose a hundred years npo some one
had told people the time would come when
hundreds of thousands of tons of iron
would float on the Atlantic and Pacific-
iron ships from New York to Southamp
ton, from London to C'nlcutta. from San
Francisco to Canton. Tho man making
such a prophecy would have been sent to
an asylum or carefully watched as incom
pctent to go alone. We have all in our
day seen iron swim. Now, if man can
make hundreds of tons of metal float, I
am disposed to think that the Almighty
could make an axe head float.
"What," says some one, "would be the
use ot such a miracle? VI vast, ot inn
nitc, of eternal importance. Those stu
dents were preparing for the ministry.
Tliev hud ioined the theological seminarv
to get all its advantages. They needed to
have their taith strengthened; they needed
to be persuaded that God can do every
thing; they needed to learn that God
takes notice of little things; that there in
no emergency of life where Ho is not will'
ing to help.
Standing on the banks of that Jordan,
those students of that day of the recalled
axe head had their faith re-enforced, and
nothing that they found out in the class
rooms of that learned institution had ever
done more in the way of fitting them for
their coining profession.
I hear from different sources that there
is a, grant deal of infidelity in some of the
theological seminaries of our day. Thry
think that the Gnrdcn of Eden is an alle
gory, ond that Mot.es did not write the
l'eniiiteuch, and that the book of Job is
only a drama, nnd that the book of Jonnh
is mi unreliable fish story, and that' water
was not turned into wine, although the
bartender now by larga dilution turns
wine into water, and that most of the so
calli d miracles of the Old ond the New
Testamvnls were wrought by natural
mimes. When those infidels graduate
from the theological seminary nnd take
the ptilpiu of America as expounders of.
.the lloiy ScnpuireH, what advocates they
will bo of that gospel for the truth of
which the martyrs died.
Hail the Polycarps and Hugh Latimcra
and John Knoxes of the twentieth cen
tury, believing the Uihlo is true in spots!
Would to God that some great revival of
religion might sweep through all the tlieo
logical seminaries of this land, confirming
tlic faith of the coming expounders of an
entire Bible!
Furthermore, in that scenp of the text
God sanctions borrowing and sets forth
the importance of returning. I do not
think there would have been any miracl.t
performed if the young man had owned
the axe that slipped the helve. The young
man cried out in tho hearing of the pro
phet, "Alan, master, for it was borrowed!"
Ho had a right to borrow. There aro
times when we have not only a right to
borrow, but it is a duty to borrow. There
to times when we ought to lend, for Christ
iri His Kormou on the mount- declared,
"From him that would borrow of thee turn
uot thou awny." . -..-'-w.wna
It is right that one borrow the mesas
of getting an education, as the young stu
dent of my text borrowed the axe. It is
right to borrow means for the forwarding
ot commercial ends. Most of the vast roi
tuues that now overshadow the land were
haii'l.fd out of a borrowed dollar.
' Thoe students in the valley of palms
by the .Ionian had a physical strength
and hardihood that would help them in
their mental and spiritual achievements.
We who are toiling for the world's better
ment need brawn as well as brain, strong
bodies as well as illumined minds and con
secrated souls. Many of those who are
now doing the best work in church and
tlute got muscle and power of endurance
from the fact that in early life they were
compelled to use axe or plow or flail or
hammer, while many who were brought
Up in the luxuries of life give out before
the battle is won. They are keen and
harp of mind, but have no physical en
durance. They havo the axe head, but no

uar ur inuiuei btivuhi, vtiiu win uciff
you. whether at the time the forest around
you raves in the midnight hurricane or you
sutler irom something quite tneigmncnnt,
like the loss of sn axe head. Take your
Bible out under the trees, if the weather
will permit, and after you have listened to
the solo of a bird in the tree tops or the
long meter psalm of the thunder, read
those words of the Bible, which must have
been written out of doors: "The trees of
the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of
Lebanon which He hath planted, where
the birds make their nests; as for the
stork, the fir trees are her house. The high
hills are a refuge for the wild goats and
the rocks for the conies. Thou makes!
darkness, and it is night, wherein all the
beasts of the forest do creep forth. The
young lions roar after their prey and seek
their meat from God. The sun ariseth,
they gather themselves together and lay
them down in their dens. Man goeth
forth unto bis work and to his labor until
the evening. O Lord, how manifold are
Thy works! In wisdom hast Thou msde
all. The earth is full of Thy riches." How
do you like that sublime pastoral?
My subject also reminds us of the im
portance of keeping our chief implement
for work in good order. I think that voung
theological student on tho banks ot Jor
dan was to blame for not examining the
uxe before he lifted it that day against a
tree. He could in a moment have found
out whether the helve and the head were
firmly fastened. The simple fact was that
the axe was not in good order or the
strongest stroke that sent the edge into
the hard sycamore would not have left
the implement headless. So God has given
every one of us an axe with which to new.
Let us keep it in good order, having
been sharpened by Bible study and
strengthened by prayer. The reason we
sometimes fail in our work is because we
have a dull axe or we do not know how
aright to swing it. The head is not aright
on the handle. At the time wo want tho
most skill for work and perfect equili
brium we lose our head. We expend in
nseleiS excitement the nervous energy that
we ought to have employed in direct,
straightforward work.
Your axe may be a pen or a type or a
yardstick or a scales or a tongue which in
legislative hall or business circles or Sab
bath class or pulpit is to speak for God
and righteousness, but the axe will not
he worth much until it has bcn sharp
ened on the grindstone of affliction.
Go right through the world and ga
right through all the past ages, and show
me one man or woman who has done any
thing for the world worth speaking of
whose axe was not ground on the revolv
ing wheel of mighty trouble. It was not
David, for he was dethroned and hounded
hy unfihal Absalom. Surely it was not
Paul, for ho was shipwrecked and whipped
with thirty-nine strincs from rods of elm
wood on his way to beheadment.
Surely it was not Abraham Lincoln,
called by every vile name that human
and Satanic turpitude could invent and de
picted by cartoonists with more meanness
than any other man ever suffered, on the
way to meet a bullet crashing through his
temples.
But I have come to the foot of the Alps,
which we must climb before we can see
the wido reach of my subject. See in all
this theme how the impossibilities may
bo turned into possibilities. That axe
head was sunken in the muddiest river
that could be found. The alarmed student
of Elisha may know where it went down
and may dive for it and perhaps fetch it
up, but can the sunken axe head be lifted
without a hand thrust deep into the mud
nt the bottom of the river? No; that is
inmossible. I admit, so far as human pow
er is concerned, it is impossible, but with
God all things are possible. After the
tree branch was thrown upon the surface
of Jordan "the iron did swim."
Some one asks me, "Did you ever see
iron swhn?" Yes, yes; many a time. I
saw a soul hardened until nothing could
make it harder. All styles of sin had
plied tha. soul. It was petrified as to all
line feeling. It had been hardening for
thirty years. It had gone into the deep-,
est depths. It had been given up as lost.
The father had given it up. The mother,
the last to do so, had given it up. But
one day in answer to some prayer a branch
of the disfo'.iaged tree of Calvary was
thrown into the dark and sullen stream,
and the sunken soul responded to its pow
er and rose into the light, and, to the as
tonishment of the church and the world,
"the iron did swim." . I have seen hun
dreds of cases like that. When the dying
bandit on the cross beside Christ was con
verted. When Jerry McAuley, a ruffian
graduate of Sing Sing prison, was changed
into a great evangelist, so useful in recla
mation of wandering men and women that
the merchant princes of New York estab
lished for him the Water street and Cre
mornc missions and mourned at his burial,
amid the lamentations of a city. When
Xcwton, the blaspheming sailor, under tho'
power of the truth was brought to Christ
and became one of the mightiest preachers
of the gospel that England ever saw.
When John Bunyan, whose curses
shocked even tho profane of the fish mar
ket, was so changed in heart and life that
he could write that wonderful dream, "The
Pilgrim's Progress," in such a way that un
counted thousands bave found through it
the road from the "city of destruction" to
the "celestial city." In all these cases I
think iron was made to swim. I worship
tho God who can do the impossible.
You have a wajward boy. Only God
knows how you have cried over him. You
have tried everything for his reformation.
Where is he now in this city, in this
country, or has he crossed the sea? "Oh,"
you say, "I do not know where ho is. He
went away in the sulks and did not say
where he was going." You havo about
made up your niiml that you will never
hear from him agaui. Prettv hard pay he
gives you for all your kindness and the
nights vou sat up with him when he was
sick. Perhaps be struck you one day when
you were trying to persuade him to do bet
ter. How different was the feeling of that
hard fist against your face from his little
hand in infancy patting your cheeckl
Father! Mother! That is an impossible
that I would like to see God take hold of,
the conversion of that boy, for he will
never be .: anything but a boy to you,
though vou should live to see him fifty
years of age. Did you say his heart is
hard? How hard? Hard as stone? "Yes,"
you say, "harder than that. Hard as
iron." But here is a God who can lift
the soul that hss been deepest down.
Here is a God who can raise a soul out
of the blackest depths of sin and wretch
edness.' Here is a God who can make iron
swim,' the God of Elisha, the God of the
young student that stood in dismay on tho
banks of the Jordan at the time of the lost
axe head. Lay hold of the Lord in a pray
er that will take no deuial. '
Alas, there are impossibles before thou
sands of people called to do work that it
is impossible for them to do, called to bear
burdens that it is impossible for them to
bear, called to endure suffering that it is
impossible for them to endure. Read all
the gospel promises, rally all your faith,
and, while you will always be called to
wor ihip the God of hope, to-day, with all
the concentered energies of my sou), I im
plore you to bow down and worship the
God who can turn the impossibles into
the possibles. It was no trivia) purpose)
but. for grand and glorious uses I have
spoken to you to-day of the borrowed, the
lost and tho restored axe head.

How often on returning home late on a
dreary winter's night has our sympathy
gone out to the poor old night watchman
as he sat huddled up over his cage fire,
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or otherwise,
allow the different water companies to
mako so frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under all cli
matic conditions, the poor old night watch
man is obliged to keep watch over the
companies' property, nnd to see that the
red lights aro kept burning. What a life,
to be sure; whet privations and hardships;
they hBvc aches and pains, which nothing
but St. Jacobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lam-
both Water Works, and is well and favour- j
bly known. He has been a night watch- I
man for many years, in the course of j
which he has undergone many expe
riences. What with wet and cold, he con
tracted rheumatism and sciatica, which fair
ly doubled him up, and it began to look a
serious matter for old Joe whether he
would much longer be able to perform his
duties, on which his good wife and himself
depended for a livelihood, but as it hap
pened a passer-by, who had for some
nights noticed Old Joe s painful condition,
presented him with a bottle of St. Jacobs
Oil, ond told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and bade his wife
rub his aching back with the St. Jacobs
Oil "a gentleman gave him," and undoubt
edly his wif? did rub. for when Old Joe
went on durj at night he met his friend
and henefactor, to whom he remarked:
"Them oilB you gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me a doing: they wm like pins and
needles for a time, but look nt me now,"
and Old Joe beran to run and jump about
like a young colt. All pain, stifTnesa and
soreness hr.d gone; he hvl been telling
everybody he met what St. Jacobs Oil

The
of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently ond truly
as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs In a
naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken theni.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
mcdicin.il agents used should be of the best quality and of known value ond Syrup
of Figs possoes this great advantage overall other remedies, that it does not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowel;1, and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
excsilent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
laxative, even for the kibe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the .invalid,
or the robust num.
Syrup of Fig3 is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, ajret-'able and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
A'hen its gentle cleaning is desired. The quality of oyrupof Figs is due not
only j Hie excellence of the combination, but also to the origiual method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
