Ho brought tho young man of Naln to life, and these are three proof anyhow thnt Ho can bring you to life. When the riillistine enmn down on tho field, they stepped between tho corpses, and they rolled over the dead, and thev took away everything that wa valuable. And o It wu with tli 'oplo thnt followed after tho nrmie at Chaucelliirsvillo and at l'lttslmrg Landing and nt Htotm lllver and at Atlanta, stripping the slain, but the Northern and Southern women Ood bless them! cumo on thn Held with basin and pads and towels nnd lint nnd cordials and Christian en coungemeut, nnd tho poor fellows that lay thoro lifted up their arms and said, "Oh, how good that doe find since you dressed It!" And other bioked up nnd said, "Oh, how you make mn think of my mother!'' And other said, "Tell the folk at homo I died thinking about tlmm." And nnother looked up nnd said, "Mln. won't you sing pin n verse of 'Home, Sweet II nine, '"before I die?" And thru tho tattoo wa sounded, and tho imt weni off, and tho service was read, "I am the resurrection and the life." Ami lu honor of thn departed thn muskets were loaded and the command given, "1'resent lire!" And there wa a shiugle set up at the head of tho grave, with the epitaph of "Lieutenant lu thn fourteenth Massa chusetts regulars," or "Captain In tho Fifteenth regiment of Mouth Carolina volun teers." Aud so now, neros this great Held of moral and spiritual battle, the angel of Ood como walking iimotig tho slain, and there wa voice of comfort and voice of hope nnd voices of resurrection and voices of heaven. One night I saw a tnvjedy on the corner of llrondway nnd Houston wtreet. A young man. evidently doubting a to which direc tion ho had better take, hi hat liftctl high enough so that you could seo ho had an In telligent forehead, stout chest; he had a robust development. Splendid young man. Cultured young mnn. Honored young man. Why did he stop there while so many were going up and down? The fact 1 thnt every man has a good ungcl aud a bad angel con tending for the mastery of his spirit, and there were a good angel and a bad angel struggling with that young man's soul at thn corner of llrondway and Houston street, "Come with me," said the good angel; "I will take you home; 1 will spread my wings over your pillow; I will lovingly escort you nil through life under suernutural protec tion; I will Ideas every cup you drink out of, every couch you rest on, every doorway you enter; I will eonsoornto your tears when you weep, your sweat when you toll, nnd nt tho lust I will bund over your grave into tho hand of tho bright nngel of 11 Christian re surrectlon. In answer to your father's peti tion and your mother's prayer I have beou sent of the Lord out of heaven to be your guardian spirit. Come Willi me," said tho good nngel-lii n volcnof unearthly symphony. It was music like that which drop from a Into of heaven when a se.aph breathe on it. "No, no," said tho bad angel; "cotuo with m; I have something better to offer. Tho wine I pour nrn from chalices of bewitching carousal; tho dance f lead is over lloor tes sellated with unrestrained indulgences; theril i no Ood to frown on tho temples of sin whom I worship. The skies are Italian Tho paths I tread nro through meadow, daisied uud primrosod. Come with me." Tho young man hesitated at a timo when hesitation wa ruin, and thn bad nngel smote the good angel until' It departed, spreuding wing through the starlight up wnrd nnd away until a door Unshod oon In tho sky and forever the wing vanished; Thnt was the turning point in that young man's history, for, tho good nngel flown, ha liesltutod no longer, but started on a path way which 1 beautiful at the opening, but blasted at lust. Tho bad angel, lending the way, opeuod gate after gate, and at enrli gate the road bei-amo rougher and the sky more lurid, and, whut was peculiar, a tho gate slammed shut it came to with a Jar that indicated that it would never open. 1'usHed uaeh portal there wo a grinding of locks and a shoving of bolts, and the scen ery ou oil her side of the rbnd changed from garden to desert, ami tho June air bm-ume a cutting Pecemlicr blast, and the bright wing of thn bnd angel turned to sackcloth, and tho eye of light beeamn hollow with hopeless grief, and the fountain, that at tho start had tossed with wine, poured forth bubbling tear mil foaming blood, and on tho right side of tlm road them was a serpent, uwd the man said totliohad nngel, "What is that serpent.-1" and tlm answer whs, "That I tho s'rpent of stinging remorse.'' On tho left side tho road t!i'-p wits a Hon, and the man asked t'ue bad angel, "What U that lion?" 1111 1 the answer was, "That 1 tho lion of ull devouring despair." A vulture. Hew throiiL'h the sky, aud th" man listed tlm bad angol, "What i that vulture?" uud the answer was, "That Is thn vulture waltiugfor tho enreusee of tho slain." And. then the man began to try to pull off hiui the fold of something timt had wound him round und round, nml liunuldt the bad nngl, "What 1 it Unit twists me in this nw ful convulsion?" nti i the answer was. "That is the worm timt never dies," And then the man said to tho bad nngel; "What doe all this mean? I trusted in what you said at the oorner of Broadway 1111 1 Houston street; I trusted it all, nnd why have you thus de ceived me?" Then the lust doooptiou fell oft the eharmur, and it said: "I wa sent forth from the pit to destroy yoursoul. I watched my chance for many a long year. When you hesitated that night on Ilromlwuy, I gained my triumph. Now you are here. I In, hat You are here.

SABBATH SCHOOL INTEIiXATIONATj LESSON FOlf APRIL SS. Lesson Text: "The Lord's Stipper," Mark xlr., 12-2J-GoMen Text: Luke xxll., 10 Com mentary. 12. A I have recently rend and profited by a sermon by Ilev. A. O. Drown, of London, upon a portion of this lesson entitled "Find lug It as He Hald," It Is probable that sumo of the Spirit's suggestions to him may here be found. It is thn lat night before the crucifixion. The city Jerusalem, tho holy city, Is full of people, for only In the chosen city enn the r assovor lambs l sletn nnd thn feast kept. Notice thn disciples' oueotlon, "Where wilt Thou?" Think of SinVs ques tion, "What wilt Thou have mo to do?" and let our hearts bo over savins, "Where. Lord" "What, Lord?" and never leant oour own understanding. 1.1. "Ho Immediately sends two with W Inlte Instructions, and yet such n rivpilroil great faith on their part, lie love to t trusted and will rjrely guide all who nrn willing to b guide. (Ts. x vxil., X; Ia. xxx.. 31; Xlvlll., 17). I'.tit seo bow it Is only a step nt a timo, and consider tlm foretold events of ono diy ,n I Knm. x., 1-7). They know tho way to th city. AH was plain thus far. Then of nil who should pass them or moot them they were to look for a man com ing toward them bearing a pitcher of water, and without hesitation they were to follow him. 14. They were not told to spent; to the man with the pitcher, but simply follow him into tho house and speak to the good man of the house concerning tho room In which to eat tho passover. Tho fact that thev were to sav to him, "Thn Master snlth," show that tho owner of the house wa a disciple. Jesus would not use tho property of ono who was, BOt. IB. We would like to know more of this man and this room, Is-twecn whom nud thn' Master there seemed to be such a perfect uu-' derstanding nnd harmony of spirit. 10. With unquestioning oU-dP-nco thev went forth from Him to do Ills bidding, and they found everything Just n He had said they would. It always ha boon and always will lie so, for whatever else may fnll or change or pass away the word of tiio Lord I sure, and It standout forever. 17. "And In the evening He comrtli with tho twelve." Never wa such a passover kept before, for this Immediately privedod the ful fillment of all msover.s, a nn thn morrow "Christ, our passover, would lie sacrificed f us," Have we, like tlm good man of this house, room for Jsu? And nro all our pos sesions at Hi disposal? Am wn llkn the two disciples looking for Hi guidance? And do wo recognize HI hand lu all tho event of life? If so, It I well. H. llefore Jeus announced thnt one of them should betray Him it would seoui from John xiil. that lte'bad washed their feet and had taught them thus to do for ea-'h it Iter. Think of His washing tlm feet of Judas! How near one may bo to Jesus, how much Ho may do for one. how many privileges mm may enjoy nnd yet bo lost! It will surely bo a fearful thing to hawo boon numb-red with the followers of Christ aud yet not lie truly His. 1!(. It was enough to mnko them sorrowful that one who had companied with them and had boon apparently truly one of them should turn out to bo only ntrnltorcnd hypo, crlte. Ho clever had the traitor been that it would seem that none of the other had sus pected him, for no onn said, "It must be Jn rlas, lust a wo thought," but each suid, "I It I?'r So kind had Jesus been that never by word or look or act had lie even hinted that Judas waa not sincere. 20. "One of tho twelve that ilippeth with me in the dish." Hitting near to Jesuu, eat ing with Him, called one of HI, acting as treasurer for IU people, preaching in Hi nsme, perhaps permitted to work miracles in Ills name, and yet all the whiles liar, a hypo crite, ono possessed by the devil! 1 it any wonder that the Spirit by Peter exhort us to make our calling and elction sure (II l'eter 1., 10). Let us be sure that wo have forever ceased to look to or In any way trust in thn flesh, but only and wholly iu the merit of the Jesus Christ. 21. Hcrlpturo will be fulfilled. The con duct of Judas wa all clearly written out be forehand, as in I's. xll., tf, (ml that did nut compel Judos to act ns he did. While Ood knows beforehand all that will come to pas and whi thermen will hear or forbear (l'.zek. ii., 7), nnd while thn spirit of Ood strive with, ull, at lcust nil who know of Ood and Hi love,' yet all aro loft free to accept or refuse that love. 'ii. Tho iiassover feast being concluded, Jesus now Institutes the Lord's supper by II rst taking bread, and having given thanks or blessed it Ho gives them to eat, saying: "This is My body which 1 given for you. Thl do In rumnmhruuee of Mt-." 23. As Ho had douo with tho bread, so Ho does also with the wine, representing Hi blood shed for us, and when we partake of the wlno we aro to remember the precious Mood of Christ, the price of our redemption. (I Fetor I., 18, 1'.'). We are to remember thut .we are not our own, but Jtint pplrit, soul uud body aro all llis.lo be given wholly up to Him thut Ho may ut HI pleasure use us to minister tho great salvation to others, even to the shedding of our blood in 111. service if He requires it (I Cor. vi., 19, 20; I ThOs. v., 23; II Cor. t., 15; Rev. xii., 11). 24. Without shodding of blood there I do romisston of sin, nud it is the blood that niakoth atonement for the soul (Hob. ix., 22; Lev. xvii.. 11). All the blood of sacrillue from the day when tho Lord Ood made unto Adam and Eve conU ot skins and clothed them was typical of tho precious blood of Christ, which was sutllciuut for the sins ot tho whole world (I John 11., 2), but beoomos efficient only for such a accept Him. 23. From beginning to end of tho public ministry of tho Lord Jusu Ho wa ever speaking of a kingdom, the kingdom of Ood or of heaven, which wiil yet be sot up on tills earth and include the whole earth under the whole heaven (Dan. vil., 27). Then shall tho meek inherit the earth, and war and rtnfe shall be no uioro (I's. xxxviL. 11; Math, v., 6; Isa. 11., 4; Mie. iv., 2, 4.) Then shall both tho pasnover und the Lord's supper liavo a full and Until consummation (Luke xxll , 10, le.i, (oral every e.iiiunuiiion we show thu Lord's death till llo cuino 1 Cor. xl.,20). 2fS. "Aud when they had sung an hymn thoy wout out Into thn mount of Olives." Tho hymn was perhaps l's. exit, to i-wlil., the Great Hallal or a part of it lu connec tion with tho tivmn think of John xiv. to xvli. aud seo the heart of Christ In these last words to His apostle and to His Father ou thoir and our behalf, word to which Hu may truly be said to have set tho seal ot 111 life's, blood.
