splendid man called to rebuild the destroyed
tomple of Jerusalem, ritone for the bulldini?
bad been quarried, and the trowel had rung at
the laying of the cornerstone, and all went
well, when th Cutbicaus oflered to help la
the work. They were a bad lot of people,
and Zembbnbel declined their help, aud then
thH trouble bonu. The Cuthtcans preju
diced the secretary ot the treasury against
Zorubbnbel. so tbut the wages of the oiirpeu-
,.uu uiiBtiuit couin not oe paiii, and the
heavy cedar timbers which had been dragged
from Mount Lebnuon to the Mediterranean
and floated is. rnlts frorallelrut to Jopps and
were lo be drawn by ox team from Joypa to
Jerusalem hnd hailed, and ns a result of the
wors oi muse jealous Cuthrcan forsixteuu
y are thebiiiltllntjol the tcmi'le was stopped.
jsui nr sixteen years Zerubbnbel. the
miguiy soul, got a new cnll from Uod to go
Hiieau wun the temple building, and Ihe
engel of I lie Lord in sub.tanco said: "They
have piled up obstacles in the way ot Zorub-
uuowi until mey navo become as a mcu itain

babel thou shall become a plain.' "
Well, lliH CuibiPsus nn not nil dead yet.
They are busy in every neighborhood aad
every city nnd -vry Nation of every ago,
heaping obstacles in the wavof theeausaof
pod. They hnv piled up hindrance above
hindrances until they have bocoine a hill,
and the bill has become a mountain, nnd the
mountain has become aa Alp. aud there it
stands, right in Ihe. way of all movements
for the world's solvation. Some people nro
so discouraged nbout the height an I liren Ith
of this mountain in front of thorn that they
have done nothing for sixteen yeirs, and
ninny of those who are at work trying to do
something toward removing tho mountain
toil in such a way that 1 cau son they have
not much faith t lint thn mountain of hin
drances will ever bo removed. They feel
they must do their duty, but thev feel all the
time lean hear it in ibelr prayers and ex
hortations that they are striklug their
pickaxes nnd shovels Into the sides of the
liocky .Mountains. If the g,od Lord will
help mo while X preach, 1 will give vou Use
names nf some of th i tiiirtt mountains which
are really in tho way and then show v.u that
those mountains are to be prostr iied, toru
down, ground up, leveled, put out of sight
forever. "Who art thou, 0 gr-nt mountain?
Before Zurubbabel thou shalt become u
plain.''
First, thero is the mountnln of prejudice,
as lone as a rang" of the Pyrenees. Preju
dice against the Bible as a dull book, an In
consistent book, a cruel book, an unclean
book, and In every way an iinilt book. Thn
most of them have never read it. They think
thestrata of the rocks contra lictthe account
in Gencs'S. The poor souls do not know
that the Mosaic account agrees exactly with
the geological account. No vio.in or flute
ever was in belter aeourd. By orowiinrnu.l
pickax nnd shovel and blasting powder the
geologist goes down in the enrtli mi l says:
'ihe llrst thiug created in the furnishing of
tho earth was thn plants." Mosus says:
"Aye, I told you that In the book of (lone,
sis, 'Tho earth brought forth grassnnd herb,
yielding seed after his kind nnd the tree
yielding fruit.' " The geologist goes ou
digging In tho earth and says: "Tho next
thing in the furnishing of the rartli was tho
making of the creature nf the sen." Moses
says: "Aye. I told you that was next in the
book of tlenesis. 'Uod said. Let tho waters
bring forth abundantly the moving creatures
that have life, aud Uod created great
wnaios.
'f he geologist koos on digging nnd snvs,
ihe next thing in the furnishing ot the earth
was tho creation of the cattle, and the rep
tiles nnd the boosts of the Hold." Aye,"
says Moses. I told you that was uoxt In'tho
Hist chapter of Genesis, 'And tlod said. Let
the earth bring forth the. living creature
ufter his kind, cattle nil 1 creeping things,
nnd bents ot tho enrih alter his kiud.' "
The geologist goes on digging in the earth
nnd suys, "The next creature was the human
family." "Aye." says Moses, "i told you
that was next in tho book ol Oeiiesis. 'So
uod create,! mnu in Ills own Image, In the
iiumti in uou ereureii tie nun; male ami le
nialo, created He them.'" Those prejudiced
ngaiusi the Bible do not know that I hu explor
ations in Egypt and Palestine an 1 Syria are
continuing the .Scripture iho same facts
written ou monumeniH and on the walls of
exhumed cit es as written in the Bn le. Tlio
city ot riiliom has been unburied, and its
bricks are found to have been made without
straw, exactly corresponding with the Hild i
story of the persecuted Hebrews. On terra
cotia cylinder, recently brought up Irom
thousands of years of burial, the capture of
uaoyion uy uyrus is told. On a Babylonian
gem recently found nro the llgures ol n tree,
a tuiin, a woman and n serpent, and the
handi of the mau nnd woman are Wretched
up toward the tree ns to pinole the fruit.
Thus the Bible story of tha fall is eoi. tinned.

grouud has been found a heal iuscrih' d with
the words, "llaggal, son of Khelniiinh,"

tho Prophet Haggal, who wrote u part of the
Bible, was not nmvih.
The royal engineers have found, eighty
feet below -the surface of tlm around at
Jerusalem, i'lui'iilcinn pottery nnd hewn
stones with Inscriptions showing that tliey

a few years been rolled up from their

and Egyptolog sts have rolled nuotber Hihle

corresponds exactly with our Bible, the rock
Bible just like tbe printed Bible, Inscrip
tions on cylinders and brickwork cut

to the truth of what we rend 17
years after Christ. The story of the tower
oi uniiel has Doen continued uy tne nici inai
recently at Babel an.oblong pile ot brick 110
feet high evidences the remains of n fallen
tower. Jn the Inspired book of Ezra we
read of the great and noble Asnapper, a name
that meant nolhing especial until recently
in pried up Egyptian sculpture we have
the story there told of him as a great hunter
as well ns a great warrior, t want i say now
Ib news to those prejudiced against thn Bible.
They are so far behind tho times that tiny
know not tbat the old book is being proved
true by tho prying eye of the antiquarian
and the ringing hammer of Ihe nrebwologist
and tbe plunging hammer of the geologist.
No more Is infidelity cnaractcrizoJ by its
blasphemy than vy Its Ignorance, but, oh!
what a high mountain of prejudice against
the Bible, against Christianity, against
churches, against all evangelising entor
prlses a mountain tbat casta Its long black
sbadows over thla continent and over all
continents! Geographer tell on that Mount
Everest la thai highest mountain la the world
Oh, no! The mount-tin ot prejudice against
Christianity la higher than the highest orags
that dare tha iightntngs ot heaven. Before
Zerubbabet, can It ever become a plain?
Another mountain of hindrance Is that of
positive and outspoken i in morn Is. There Is
the mountain ot Inebriacy. It is pile I with
kegs and demijohns nnd decanters and hogs
heads, on whlob sit the victims of that traf
flo whose one business is to rob earth and
heaven ot the most generous and large
hearted and eplondtd of tbe human race. If
their business was to take only tbe mean and
tlngy and oontemptlble and useless, we
would not say much against the work, for
there are tens of thousands ot mon nnd wo
men who are a nuisance to the world, and
their obliteration Irom human society would
be aa a Wantage to all tbat is good. 'The re
moval of these moral deficits would not
arouse In us much ot a protest. But Inso
briety takes the best. The mountain of
Inebrlaoy stands in the way of the kingdom
of God, and hundreds ot thousands ot men
but for that hindrance would stop right into
tbe ranks ot tho Lord's host nnd march
heavenward, each ono taking a regiment
with him. The mountain of Ine'irlacy Is not
an ordinary mounmlu, but It Is armed. It
Is lino of fortresses continually biasing
away its destruot.ve forces upon all our
uoighh,irhods. towns and cities, their vol
leys of death poured down upon the homos

the grout kidney remedy, fulfills every wish 1
In relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, ;

following use of liquor, wine or beer, and 1
overci mil's that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to gut up many times during the
