Lmaons Drawl From tut Old Blbl
Story Tha I'ttor FaUlltv of Fraad.
Tcxt: "And Samuel said, What meanetb
then this bleatlni of tha sheep ia mlnn
ears and the lowing of tha oxen which I
near?" A Samuel xv., 1.
Tha Amalekltes thought tbev had eon
queied Ood and that he would not carry
into execution his threats against them.
They had murdered the Israelites ia battle
and out of battle and left no outrage un
tried. For four hundred years this had
been going on. and they say, "Ood either
dare not punish us or lie bas forgotten to
do so." Let us see. Samuel, God's
propnei, lens Haul to go down and slay all
the Amalukites. not leavlne one of them
alive; also to destroy ail the beasts In their
possession ox. sheep, camel and ass.
Hark, I hear the tread of 310,000 men, with
monstrous Haul at their head, ab ase with
armor, his shield dangling at hisslde, hold
ing in his hand a spear, at tbe waving of
which the great host marched or halted. I
see smoke curling against the sky. Now
there is a thick cloud of it, and now I see
the whole city rising in a chariot of smoke
behind steeds of Are. It is Saul that set tbe
city ablaze. The Amalekites and Israelites
meet; the trumpets ot battle blow peal on
f eal, and there Is a death hush. Then
here is a signal waved, swords cut and
nacx, javelins ring on shields, arms fall
from trunks and heads roll into the dust.
Gash after gash, the frenzied yell, the
gurgling of throttled throats, the cry of
pain, me inugn or revenge, tne curse hissed
not ween clinehed teeth an army's deatn
groan. Macks of dead on all sides, with
eyes unshut and mouths yet grinning ven
geance. Huzza for the Israelites! Two
hundred and ten thousand men wave their
plumes and clap their shields, for the Lord
uoa nntn given them tho victory.
Yet that victorious armv of Israel la con
quered by sheep and oxen. Ood, through
the prophet Kiimuel, told Haul to slay all
the Amalekiteg and to slay all the beasts in
their possession, but Haul, thinking ho
knows more than Ood, snves Airng, the
Amnlekltlsh king, and live drove of sheep
and a herd of oxen that he cannot bear to
kill. Haul drives the sheep and oxen down
toward home, He hns no idea that Hnmucl,
tho prophet, will Hud out that he has saved
these sheep and oxen for himself. Kamuel
comes und asks Haul tho news from tbe
battle. Haul puts on a solemn face, for
mere is no ono who can look more solemn
than vour irenulno livnoerlte. unit )m aiiva
"I have fullllleil tiio command of the
Lord." Hnmiiel listens, and he hears the
drove or sheep a llltlo wny off. Haul had no
idea that tho prophet's ear would be so
aeuto. Hnmucl fays to Haul, "If you have
done as God told' vou nnd slain nil the
Amnlekltes nnd all the beast in their non-
session, what menneth the bleating of the
sheep iu mine curs nnd the lowing of the
oxen that I hear?" Ah, ono would hnvo
thought that blushes would have con
sumed the cheek of Haul. No, no! Hesnvs
tho army not himself, of course, but the
army hud saved the sheep anil oxen for
menace, mm then they thought it would
no too imil nnyhow to kill Agag, the Amnio
kltish king, Knnniel takes the sword, and
he slashes Agag to pieces, and then lie
takes tho skirt of his cont in true oriental
stylo and rends it In twain, ns much ns
to say, "You, Saul, just like that, shall be
torn uwny iroinyouremplro nutl torn nwnv
from your throne." In other words, let
nil the nations of theenrth hear the story
unit oaui, py (UHOIieviUg UOI1, WOU a HOCK
of sheep, but lost a kingdom.
I lenrn from this subject thnt Clod will
expose hypocrisy. Here Haul pretends he
has fulfilled the divine commission by slav
ing ull tho beasts belonging to the Amaf.
kites, and yet at the very moment lie is
lolling me story and practicing the ilelu
hion the secret comes out, und tho sheep
blent nnd tho oxon bellow.
A hypocrite is ono who pretends to be
whnt he is not or to do what he does not.
Haul was only a type of a class. The mod
ern hypocrite looks awfully solemn, whines
when lie prays and during his puhllo de
votion shows a great deal of the white of
his eyes. He never laughs, or, if he does
laugh, ho seems sorry for it afterward, ns
though he had committed some grent in
discretion. Tho llrst time he gets n chance
he prays twenty minutes in public, and
when he exhorts lie seems to Imply that all
the race nre sinners, with ono exception,
his modesty forbidding the stating who
that ono is. There are a grout munv
churches thnt have two or three ecelesiastf
cal Uriah Hueps.
When tho fox begins to pray, look out
for your chickens. The more genuine re
ligion a man has the more comfortable he
will he, but you may know a religious Im
postor by the fact that he prides himself on
being uucomfortnblo. A man of that kind
is of immense damage to tho church of
Christ. A ship may outride a hundred
storms, and yet a handful of worms in the
planks mny sink it to tha bottom. The
church of Ood Is not so much in danger of
the cyclones of trouble and persecution
thnt come upon It ns of tho vermin of
hypocrisy that Infest It. Wolves nro of no
dunger to the fold of Ood unless they look
like sheep. Arnold was ot more damugu
to the army than Coruwnllls and his hosts.
Oh, we cannot docelve Ood with a church
certillcnto! He soes behind tho curtain ns
well ns before the curtain. Ho sees every
thing inside out. A man muy through
policy bido his real character, but Ood will
after awhile tear open the whltedscpulcher
nnd expose the putrefaction. Sunday
faces cannot save him. Long prayers
cannot save him. Psalm singing nnd
churchgoiug cannot rave him. Ood will
expose him Just as thoroughly as though
He branded upon his forehead the word
"Hypocrite." He mny tblnk he hns been
successful in tho deception, but at the
most unfortunate moment the sheep will
bleat and the oxen will bellow.
One of the cruel bishops of olden time wns
going toexcommunlcnte one of the martyrs,
and he begun in tho usual form "In the
name of Ood, nmen." "Htop," snys the
martyr. "Don't say 'In thenumeof Ood!"'
Yet how many outrages are practiced un
der the garb of religion end sanctity. When
in synods and conferences ministers of the
gospel are about to say something uubroth
erly and unkind about a member, they
almost always begin by being tremendously
pious, the venom of their assault corres
ponding to the heavenly flavor of the pre
lude. Htnnding there, you would think
they were ready to go right up into glory
and that nothing kept them down but the
weight of their boots and overcoat, when
suddenly the sheep bleat and the oxen bel
low. Oh, my dear friends, let us cultivate
simplicity ot Christian character! Jesus
Christ said: "Unless you become as this
little child you cannot enter the kingdom
of Ood." we may play hypocrite success
fully now, but the Lord Ood will after
awhile expose your true character. You
must know the incident mentioned in tbe
history of Ottucas, who was asked to kneel
in the presence of Ilundolphus I., and when
before him ha refused to do it, but after a
while he agreed to come in private when
there was nobody In the king's tent, nnd
then he would kneel down before htm and
Worship, but the servants '.of the king
bad arranged it so thnt by drawing a cord
the tent 'would suddenly drop. Ottacas
after a while came in, und supposing he
was in entire privacy knelt before Knndol
phus. The servants pulled the cord, the
tent dropped, and two armies surrounding
looked down on Ottacas kneeling before
Itandolphus. If we wore really kneeling to
the world while we profess to be lowly
subjects of Jesus Christ, the tent has al
ready dropped and al) the hosts ot beaveu
are gazing upon our hypocrisy. Ood's
universe is a very public place, and you
cannot bide hypocrisy In It.
I learn further from this subject how
natural it is to try to pat off our sins oa
other people. Raul was charged with dis
obeving Ood. Tha maa says it was not he;
he did not save the sheep; the armv did It
trying to throw it off on the shoulders of
other people. Human nature is the same
, in all ages. Adam, confronted with bis sin.
said. "The woman tempted me. and I did
eat." And the woman charged it upon tha
serpent, and It the seroent could bars
spoken it would have charged It upon tha
devil. I suppose that the real state ot the
easd was that Eve was eating tha apple and
that Adam saw it and begged and eoaxed
until he got piece of it. I suppose that
Adam was Just as muchtii blame as Eve was.
You cannot throw off the responsibility of
anv sin upon the shoulders ot other people.
Here U a young man who says: "I know
I am doing wrong, but I have not hnd anv
chanoe. I had a father who despised Ood
and a mother who was a disciple of godless
fashion. I am not to blame for my sins; it is
my bringing up. Oh, no; that young man
bas been out in the world long enough to
see what is right and to see what is wrong,
and in the great day ot eternity he cannot
throw his sins upon his fnthcr or mother,
but will have to stand for himself and an
swer before Ood. You have had a eon
science, you have had a Bible and the influ
ence of the Holy Knlrit. Stand for yoursolf
or fall tor yourself.
Here is a business man. He snvs, "I
know I don't do exactly right In trade, but
all the dry goods men do it and all the hard
ware men do this, and I am not rospon
slide." You cannot throw off yoursln uoon
the shoulders of other merchants. Ood
will hold you responsible for what you do
and them responsible for whnt they do. I
want to quote one passage of 8criiture for
you I think it is in Proverbs "If thou bo
wise, thou shnlt be wise for thyself, but If
thou scornest thou alone shalt bear it,"
- I learn further from this subject whnt
God meant by extermination. Haul was
told to slay all the Amalekites and tho
beasts in their possession. He saves Agag,
the Amalekite king, and some of tho sheep
and oxen. Ood chastisos him for it. Ood
will not stny in the soul thnt is hnlf His
and hnlf the devil's. There mv be more
sins in our souls than there were
Amalekites. Wo must kill them. Woe
unto us it we spare Agag. Here Is a Chris
tian. He says: "I will drive out nil tho
Amalekites of sin from my hwrt. Here is
jealousy down goes that Amalekite. Hero
Is hnckbttlng-down goes thnt Amalekite,"
and whnt slaughter he makes among his
sins, strlklug right and leftl What is that
out yonder, lifting up his heail'i1 It is
Agag It is worldllness. It Is an old sin ho
cannot bear to strike down. It is a dnrling
transgression he cannot afford to sacrifice.
Oh, my brethren, I appeal for entire conse
cration. Homo of tho Presbyterians call
It the "higher life." Tho 'Methodists,
I believe, enll It "perfection." I do not
enre whnt you call It, "without holiness no
man shall see the Lord." I know men who
nro living with their soul in perpetual com
munion with Christ nud dnv by day urn
walking within sight of licnvi-n. How do I
know? They tell me so. I believe them.
They would not He about It. Whv cannot
wo nil hnvo thin consecration? Why slay
some of the sins in our soul nnd leave
others to blent and bellow for ourexpnsum
nnd condemnation? Christ will not stny In
the snnio house with Agag. You must glvo
up Agag or glvo up Christ. Jesus savs:
"All of thnt heart or none." Hani slow the
poorest of the sheep nud the meanest of
the oxen nnd kept some of tho finest und
tho fattest, nnd tliero are Christians who
have slain the most unpopular nf their
transgressions and saved those which nro
most respectable. It will not do. Eternal
war against ull tho Amalekites no mercy
for Agng!
I leurn further from this subjoct thnt His
vain to try to defraud Ood. Here Haul
thought he hud cheated Ood out of those
sheep nnd oxen, but he lost his crown, ho
lost his empire. You ennnnt cheat Ood out
of a single cent. Here is a man who hns
mndo 10,000 in fraud, lleforo ho die
every dollar of it will be gone, or It will
givo him violent unrest. Hero is a Chris
tian who bus been largely prospered. Ho
hns not given to Ood tho proportion that Is
duo in charities and benevolences. Ood
comes to tho reckoning, nud ho takes it all
awuy from you. How often It hns been thnt
Christian men have hail a large estate and
it Is gone, Tho Lord Ood came Into tho
counting room nud suid: "I have allowed
you to hnvo n'l tills property for ten, fif
teen or twenty years, and you have not
done justice to my poor children. When
the beggar called upon you, you hounded
him off your steps; when my suffering chil
dren appenled to you for help, you had no
mercy. I only asked for so much or so
much, but you did not glvo it to me, and
now I will take It all."
Ood asks of us one-seventh of our time In
tho way of Habbath, Do you suppose wo
can get nn hour of thnt limo successfully
nwny from its true object? No, no. Ood
has demanded ono-seventh of your time.
If you tnko ono hour of thnt time thnt Is to
be devoted to Ood's service nnd Instead of
keeping his Hnbbatti use It for the nurnoso
of writing up your accounts or making
worldly gains, Ood will get that hour from
you in some unexpected way. Ood says to
Jonah, "You go to Nineveh." Ho snvs:
"No, I won't. I'll go to Tarshlsh." He
starts for Tarshlsh. The sea raves, tho
winds blow and the ship rocks. Come, ye
whales, and tnko this passenger for Tar
shlsh! No man ever gets to Tarshlsh
whom Ood tells to go to Nineveh. Tho
sea would not enrry him; it is Ood's sen.
Tho winds would not waft him; they are
Ood's winds. Let a man attempt la do
that which Ood forbids him to do or to go
into a place where Ood tells him not to go,
the natural world ns well as Ood Is against
nun. ine iigntmngs are ready to strike
him, the ilres to burn him. tho sun to
smite him, the wnters to drown him, and
moeartnto swallow him. Those whose
princely robes nro woven out of henrt-
strings, thoso whose Hue bouses are built
out of skulls, those whoso springing foun
tains are the tears of oppressed nations,
uiiyo mey Huccessiuny cueatcil uoil.'
The Inst day will demonstrate. It will be
found out on that day that Ood vindicated
not only his goodness and His mercy, but
His power to tnko care of His own rights
und the rights of His church nnd the rights
of Hla oppressed children. Come, yo mar
tyred dead, nwuke and coma up from the
dungeons where folded darkness hearsed
you und the chnlns like cankers pooled
loose the skin and wore off tbe flesh und
rattled on the narrowless bones. Come, ye
martyred dend, from the stakes where
you were burned, where the arm uplifted
lor mercy roil into tne osnes and the cry of
pain was drowned in tho snapping of tbe
flame and tho howling of the mob: from
valleys of Piedmont nud Hmlthflold market
nnd London Tower and the highlands of
Scotland. Gather in grent procession and
together clap your bony hands, and to
gether stamp your moldy foot and let the
chains that bound you to dungeons nil
clank at once and gather all the flumes
tbnt burned you in one uplifted arm of Are
and plead for a judgment. Outlier all
the tears ye ever wept into a lake and
gather all the sighs ye ever breathed into
a tempest until the heaven piercing chain
clunk and the tempest sigh and the, thun
der gronn nunouuee to earth and hell and
heaven a judgment. Oh, on that dny Ood
will vindicate tbe cause of the troubled and
the oppressed! It will bo seen in that day
that though we mny have robbed our fel
lows, we never ;have successfully robbed
uoa.
Sly Christian friends, as you go out Into
tho world exhibit an open hearted Christian
frankness. Do not bo hypocritical in any
thing. You are never sate if you are. At
the most inopportune moment the sheep
will blent and tho oxen bellow. Drive out
the last Amalekite of sin from your soul.
Have no mercy on Agag. Down with your
sins, down with your pride, down with your
woriauness. a know you cannot achieve
this work by your own arm, but almighty
grace is sufficient that wbloh saved Joseph
In the pit, that which delivered Daniel In
the den, that which shielded Bhadracb in
the fire, that wbloh cheered Paul In the
shipwreck.
CONGRESSIONAL
July B. In the Senate the stamp
amendment, as agreed to, fixes the fol
lowtnaT rates on bonds, etc.: "Bonds,
debentures or certificates of Indebted
ness Issued after September 15, 1K9T. by
any association, company or corpora
tion, on each hundred dollars of face
value or fraction thereof, 6 cents, and
on each original Issue, whether an or
ganisation or reorganisation, of certifi
cates of stock by any such association,
company or corporation, on each hun
dred dollars of fare value or fraction
thereof, S cents; and on all transfers of
shares or certificates of stock In any
association, company or corporation, on
each hundred dollars of face value or
fraction thereof, 2 cents." Exemptions
from the stamp tax are made in the
case of State, county and municipal
bonds, and the stocks and bonds of co
operative building associations.
July 6. Without any preliminary
business the Senate proceeded with the
consideration of the tariff bill. Mr.
ltacon made a personal explanation of
his vote yesterday for Mr. Mills's
amendment to impose a tax of 5 per
cent, on all manufactured products. He
had. he said, given the amendment bis
vote without due deliberation, if tbe
imposition of such a tax could be con
fined to the sugar trust and other gi
gantic concerns existing in open vio
lation of the law. it would, upon medi
tation, commend itself to his Judgment,
but as it would touch every village and
hamlet In the land, and lay Its hniul
upon the most humble, he frankly
avowed his regret for the vote cast yes
terday. Mr. Hate then took the floor nnd de
livered a set speech ngnlnst the bill.
July 7. The tariff bill was token up
and some slight changes were made
at the suggestion of Mr. Allison. The
committee amendment to put a duty of
ten cents a pound on ten. which "hud
r.ot heretofore been fornially acted nn.
was disagreed to. Mr. Allison moved
to strike out paragraph DM, putting
raw hide cuttings and all other glue
stock on the free list, which wns done.
Mr. Stewurt, of Nevada, offered nn
amendment for purchase ami retire
ment of l". S. bonds, with nny surplus
In the treasury over nnd above the re
serve of a hundred millions.. He suid
that there wns now nnd had been for
a year and a half $:io.0iMl.O(W of Idle
money in the treasury, entailing n loss
of between la.owi.ouo and $10.iiuo,000 a
year interest. That certainly was bud
financiering, ami It produced nu un
healthy contraction of the circulating
medium.
July S. The session of the senate
was uneventful, the deficiency appro
priation bill b-!ng considered. Among
Its provisions Is one accepting the In
vitation of France to participate In the
Tnrls exposition of lnuo. The bill wns
not completed UP to the time of ad
journment. During the day Mr. Merry
(Ark.) offered a resolution requiring
the president to demand of Spain the
relense of (din Melton, one of the Com
petitor prisoners. The resolution wns
referred to the committee on foreign
relations.
A new committee amendment was
agreed to, the appropriation bill ap

How Old are You?
You need not answer the question, madrtm,
for in your case age is not counted by years. It
will always be true that "a woman is as old
as she looks." Nothing oets the seal of age
so deeply upon woman's beauty as gray hair.
It is natural, therefore, that evory woman is
anxious to preserve her hair in all its original
abundance and beauty; or, that being denied
the crowning gift of beautiful hair, she longs
to possoss it. Nothing is easier than to attain
to this gift or to preserve it, if already
possessed. Ayer'a Hair Vigor restores gray
or faded hair to its original color. It does this
by simply aiding nature, by supplying tho
nutrition nocessary to health and growth.
There i3 no better preparation for the hair
than
AYER'S HAIR VIGOR.
