While Queen Victoria has been the friend
of all art, all literature, all science, all in
vention, nil reform, her reign will bo most
remembered for all time and all eternity as
me reinn 01 uuriKiinniiy.
Beginning with thnt scene nt 5 o'clock in
the morning In Kensington palace, where
she asked tho Archbishop of Canterbury to
liray for her, and they knelt down, imp'lor-
niK oivihh gumnuce uniu mis uour, not
uiuy-iu uie suiiiime liturgy or her estab
lished church, but on all occasions, she has
directly or indirectly declared, "I believe in
lod the Father Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth, 11 mi In Jesus Christ, his only be
gotten Hon." I declare it, fenrless of 'con
tradiction, thnt tho mightiest champion of
Christianity to-day is tho throno of Eng
land. The queen's book, so much criticised
a" the time of its appearance, some saying
n was not suiiiiuiiy none and some saying
that tho private affairs of a household
ought not so to have been exposed, was
nevertheless a book of vast usefulness
from tho fact that it showed that
Ood was acknowledged in all her
life and that "Hock of Ages"
was noi nn unusual song 111 Windsor Castle.
Was her sou, the Prince of Wales, down
with an illness that baffled the greatest
doctors of England? Then she proclaimed
u day of prayer to Almighty Ood, and in
answer to tho prayers of the whole civilized
world the l'rince got well. Was Sevastopol
to bo taken and the thousands of bereaved
homes of soldiers to be comforted, she
called her nation to its knees, and the
prayer was answered. Heo her walking
through the hospitals like nn nngel of
mercy. Was there ever an explosion of
lire damn In tho mines of HheffleJd or
Wales and her telegram was not tho first to
arrive with help and Christian sympathy?
Is President Garfield dying at Long Branch
und is not the cable under the sua reaching
to E ilmoral Castle kept busy In announcing
the symptoms of the sufferer?
I believe that no throne since the throne
of David and tho throno of Uozeklah and
tho throne of Esther has been in such con
stant touch with the throne of heaven as
the throne of Victoria. From what I know
of her habits she reads the Bible more than
sha does Shakespeare. HI10 admires tho
hymns of Horatio Bonar more than she
does Byron's "Corsair." She bus not know
ingly admitted into her presence a corrupt
manor dissolute woman. To very distin
guished novelists and very co'lebrnted
orima doumis sho has declined reception
because they wore immoral. All tho com
ing centuries of tlmo cannot revoke the
advantages of having had sixty years ot
Ciiristiau womanhood enthroned in the
pnlnws of England. Compare her court
surroundings with what were tho court
surrouudings In the time of Henry VIII.,
or what were the court surroundings
in tho time ot Napoleon, hi the tiuieof Louis
XVI., iu the times of mon and women whose
names may not be mentioned in decent so
ciety. A Ins! for tho revelries, and the worse
than Belshazznr feasts, and tho more than
Herodlan dauees, and the scenes from
which tho veil must not be lifted. You
need, however, In order to appreciate the
purity and virtuous splendor of Victoria's
reign to contrast it somewhat with the
gehennus and the pandemoniums of many
of the throne rooms ot the past and some
of tho thronerooms ot the present. I call
the roll of the queens of the earth, not that
I would have them come up or come back,
but that I may make them the background
of a picture in which I cau better present
the present septuagenarian, so soon to be
an octogenarian, now on the throne of Eng
land, her example so thoroughly on the
right side that all the acandal mongers in
all the nations in six decades have not
been able to manufacture nn evil suspicion
iu regard to her thut could be made to
stick; Maria ot Portugal, Isabella and
Eleanor and Joanna of 8pnin, Catherine of
Itussia, Mary of Hootlnnd, Maria Theresa ot
Germany, Marie Antoinette of France and
all the queens ot England, as Miss Htrlck
lund has put them before us In her charm
ing twelve volumes, and while some queen
may surpass our modern queeu in learning,
and another in attractiveness of feature,
and another in gracefulness of form, and
another in romance of history, Victoria
surpasses them all In nobility aud grandeur
and thoroughness ot Christian character. I
hall her, the Christian daughter, the Chris
tian wife, the Christian mother, the Chris
tian Queen, and let tha church ot God and
all benign and gracious Institutions the
world over ery out, as they come with
music and bannered host, and million
voiced huzea, and the benediction of
earth and heaven, "What wilt thoo.Queaa

Another thing I call to your attention In
this illustrious woman's earner ia that the

Would sha have lived to celebrate tha aiz.
tieth anniversary ot her coronation and tha
seventy-eighth anniversary ot her birthday
had she not been an example of good prin
ciples and good habits? While there have
been bad men and women I exalted station
and humble station who have carried their
vices clear into the seventies and elirhtiM
and even the ninetlea of their lifetime, such
persons are very rare. The majority ot the
vicious aie in ineir mimes, and fewer reach
the forties, and they are exceedingly scarce
la the fifties. Longevity has not been the
characteristic of the most of those wbo
have reached high places In that or this
country, in many casea their wealth
leads them Into indulgence, or their
honors make there reckless, or their op
portunities oi doing wrong are multi
plied into the overwhelming, and it is
as true now as when the Bible flrst pre
sented It, "The wicked live not out half
their days.' Longevity ia not a positive
proof of goodness, but It is prima facie evi
dence in that direction. A loose life has
killed hundreds of eminent Americans. A
loose life Is now killing hundreils of emi
nent Americans and Europeans. The doe
tors are very kind and the certificate given
after the distinguished man of dissipation
Is dead, says, "Died of congestion of the
brain." although it was delirium tremens,
or "Died of cirrhosis of the liver." al
though It was a round of libertinism,
or "Died of heart failure," although It
was the vengeance of outraged law that
slew him. Thanks, doctor, tor you are
right in saving the feelings of the bereft
household by not being more sneelllc.
Look.ali ye who are In high placesof earth,
and see one who has been plied bv all the
temptations which wealth and honor and
the secret place of palaces could produce,
and yet next Tuesday she will ride along in
the presence of 7.000,000 people. If thevenn
get wlthlu sight of hercharlot.ln the vigor
ous old age, no more hurt by the splendors
that have surrounded her for seventy-eight,
yeurs thau is the plain country woman

oxcart to attend the Saturday marketing.
I believe more people die of improper
eating than die of strong drluk. The former
causes no delirium or violence and works
more gradually, but none the less fatally.
Queen Victoria's habits, self-denying and
almost ascetic, under a good Priivldonce,
account for her magnincent longevity. It
may be a homely lesson for a sexagesimal
anniversary In British palaces, but it Is
worth all the millions of dollars the cele
bration will cost, and tho laborious con
vocation of the representatives from nil the
zones of the planet. If the nations will learn
the sanitary lesson of good hours, plain
food, outdoor exercise, rensonnblo nbstl

Paul said to the Jailer is just as appropriate

crown? The way Victoria got her crown,
on her knees. Although eight duch
esses and marquises, all in cloth ot
silver, carried her train, and the win
dowa and arches and root of the abbey
shook with the "Te Drum" ot the organ in
full diapason, she had to kneel, she had to
eome down. To get the crown ot pardon
nd eternal life, you will nave to kneel, vou
will have to -come down. Yea. History
says that at her coronation not only the en
tire asseembly wept with profound emo
tion, but Victoria was In tears. So you will
have to have your dry eyes moistened with
tears. In your case tears of repentance, tears
of joy, tears of coronation, and you will feel
like crying out with Jeremiah, "Oh, that
my bead were waters and mine eyes fount
altis of tears." '
In all the ages ot time noone ever had
such a bard time as Christ while he was
on earth. Brambles for His brow. exveo
torntlons for Hiseheck, whips for His back,
spears for His side, spikes for His feet,
contumely for His name, and even in our
time how many say He is no Christ at all,
and there are tens of thousands of hands
trying to push Him back and keep Him
down. But, oh, the human nnd satnnlo
Impotencyt Can a spider stop an albatross?
Can the ' hole which the toy shovel nf a
child digs in the sand at Cape May
wallow the Atlantic? Can thobreath of

ouroclydon? Yes, when nil the combined
forces ot earth and bell can keep Christ
from ascending tho throne of universal
dominion. David the psalmist foresaw
that coronation nnd cried out in regard to
the Messiah. "I'pou Himself shall His
crown Nourish." From tbecave of black
basalt St. John foresaw it and cried, "On
His head were mnuv crowns." Now do not
miss the beauty oi that figure. There it
no room on uny head for more than
one crown of silver, gold or diamond.
Then what does the book mean when It
says, "On His hend were many crowns?"
Well, it means twisted nnd enwrcntttcd
flowers. To prepare a crown for your child
and make her the "queen of the ".May" you
might take the white flowers out ot 011a

another parterre and the blue flowers out
ot another p'irterre and the pink flowers

AIRSHIP BURSTS OVER BERLIN.'
Flrrd by an Explosion of Itemlne anil the
Occupants Killed.
Ilerr Woolfert. an aeronaut, accompanied
by a mechanic, named Knabe, made an ex
perimental ascent in a so-called steering
airship from the Tempelhof Common, Ber
lin, Germany. Wheu the balloon, which
had been tilled at the military ballooning
establishment, had reached a height of
8000 feet, a loud explosion was heard, aud
the next moment the balloon was seen to
be ablaze. The oar, which was also on Ore,
detached itself from the burning silk and
fell with fearful rapidity to the ground.
- Both nf its occupants were found to be
dead. Their bodies were horribly burned.
It appears that the benzine used in the
steering gear motor exploded, causing the
disaster.
