If you have allarge park, a grand mansion, beautiful fountains, stalking deer and stamnary, to whom will you give the first right to ail these posses- sions? To outsiders? No, to your. own «children. . You will say, “It will be very well for outsiders to come in and walk these paths and enjoy this landscape, but the first : wight to myhouse, and the first right to my ecretary statuary, the first right to my gardens shall vipus tor : fF vin the possession of my own children. ! properly ] © " Now this world is God’s park, and while : the He aliows those who are not His children, and who refuse Hisauthority, the privilege © ayalking through the gardens, the possession ofall this grandeur of park and mansion is in the right of the Christian—the flowers, the diamonds, the silver, the gold, the morn- © ing brightness and the evening shadow.

There mare people who have an idea that instru- gments of music are inappropriate for the Christian's parlor. When did the house of sin or the bacchanal get the right to music? [They have no right to it. God, in my text, makes over to Christian people all the pi. anos, all the harps, all the drums; all the .cornets, all the flutes, all the organs. Peo- iple of the world may borrow them, but they sonly borrow them; they have no right or 1#tle to them. God gave them to Christian ‘people in my text, when He said, “All are yours,” David no more certainly owned the harp with which he thrummed ths praise of God ; than the church of Christ, owns. now all chants, all anthems, @ll i¥ory keyboards, all _ organ ,diapasons, and God will gather u these sweet sounds after awhile, and He will auningle them inone great harmony, and. the HENRY REL ve.For— nestead he mast, - en was. > after-- tarnitos v mail . 2 92. 5 Monday. return tos ployment: ceived by: the mpliaiice. iMozarts of earth will join their voices and ; their musical instruments, the soft south ~wind.and the. loud-lunged euroclydon will sweep the great organ pipes, and.you shall see God's hand. striking the Bogs ind Gos ifoot tramping the’ in ‘ths great ora- dorio of the ages!

Does it goin a straight line?’ Oh, no. It changes its track every little while, Now you say, *‘This vessel, instead of going to Glasgow, must be: going to Havre, or it is going to Hamburg, or it is ob- ing to Marseilles.” No, no. : It is going to Glasgow. And inthis voyage of life we often have to/change our ‘tack. ‘One storm blows us this way, and another storr. blows 1s that : but He who holds the winds in a ill bring is into ‘a. haven of ‘ever- lasting rest just at the right time.

The battle-ground, the valley or ravine in front, the rise, the timber to the might and rear, the fight over thoiguns, the flanking on our rane and rear, are all brought before me again. Neot- withstanding fis: was so many years ago, I seem to have a better recollec- tion of the doings of that afternoon than of other afternoons since then. The battery was Capt. Bundy’s 13th" N. Y. Independent L. A. The full battery of six guns was present. Sonie of the infantry preceeded the battery in locating a line of battle and putting up slight breastworks, in case ‘Hood should take the offensive. : After exossing Peach Tree Creek in the morning, we were waiting in col- umn all the forenoon. An ominous silgi.ce reigned. About noon an Or- derly came dashing up to ths Captain, and gave him directions'to go into bat- Suge Ee hill, and t6 move with all haste. | Immediately comes the order; ‘“At- tention ! Drivers, mount! Cannoneers, mount! Forward, march! —Trot!— Gallop? "= ie Then the drivers yell and lash their horses and they break into'a fall ‘run; the wheels bound along over ditches, tear a farm wagon all to pieces. The cannoneers.are-bounding up six inches from their seats, and hanging on for dear life; for:a fall under the wheels would he worse than a rebel bullet. Up the long hill we go, down another one, across a ravine, then up again to another elevation, the horses never slacking their speed. until we grrive at the ground where we are to go into battery—seemingly in utter confusion, but we are on the ground in five minutes after starting. In one minute more the guns are unlimbered and run forward, the limbers turned rount the guns loaded and run into the em each caisson in its proper place. In five minutes more our pickets are drivenrin andithe battle is on. "I was a cannoneer of the left gun of the left section. The section was com- ianded” by ‘Lieut. ‘McGurrin.

Our ‘gunner, Corp’ Bynch, was killed at + and” Lient.s MeGurrin took : 11 the appearances 'in- gated that we had business off our ands. In fact, we had been warned for two or three days that ‘Hood had: superseded Johnston,;and to look out for him; as he was likely to strikel hard at some unexpected point, and it; so happened that the Second Division! of the Twentieth Corps was the place selected to make the assanlt. They flanked us on the right; they killed off our men and captured two of our guns; but it was a repetition of the experiment of the fellow who bit off more than he could chew; . They did net hold the ground nor the guns. After the action commenced my per- sonal observation extended but little beyond our own gun. The smoke en- veloped us so that we could neither see to the right nor to the left. Be- | sides, we were pretty busily occupied with “our own knitting,” without. tak- ing observations. The-fire of our sec. ‘tion was to the front, and if anybody escaped the stream of fire from the guns I thinkithey would, be scared to , death by the noise we made. * My own ears ached as if they would burst from the continual roax of the guns. #Phey “drowned every other sound. I heard no infantry-firing at all, though they were firing rapidly ‘like ourselves. We fired our guns just as rapidly as ‘five men, drilled to move as machinery,and commanded by an expert, could do it. Three shots a minute from each gun, rolling out in one continuous roar, which made the ground shake and tremble, and this without, any, cessa-. tion for two hours.” The range was oint-blank, and we kept the guns all: A ‘thetime depressed, firing alternately | “double canister and short-fuse shell.! The canister would sweep the ground, mowing swaths through the advancing: columns liké a tornado of fire. The| shell ayould cut down, trees, take off! bark: 0 cu then burst in front of the rebel ranks, hurling death and de- struction around. We would occasion- ally fire solid shot, which would cut down trees, ricochet over the heads of one line and plow through the ground, throwing dirt over the next line, then bound and roll along, diminishing in velocity; until it would® kill--two or railé to the rear, when its force was almost spent.

We lost that day 18 men in killed and wounded, about half the men that were at the guns, Oneé’s life was inj danger anywhere in that neck of woods that afternoon. A man was as safe at the front as in the rear. One of our wounded men was killed while being taken to the rear. I was sent to the rear for water to swab the gun. When T arrived at" a certain point I thought I could see a depression in the’ [Elomd tnat might contain waters : I asked sone infantry- men who were lying on their faces (I suppose guarding our right rear) if there was any water out there. They repliéd: “Don’t go out there. A msn was killed going across there only a moment ago.” I remarked that kill- ing was the order of business just then, and I must have some water, so I ducked my head and started. The bullets commenced whistling past my ears, but they miscalculated. I did not stand in one place a. great length In fact, if I had been: timed, it would have been shown that I made a splendid record of speed. I found some muddy water, scooped up some, and the bullets “zipped” past my head again as I returned. All earthly things have an end, and this battle did also. It seemed to me that we were loading and firing for two hours justas fast as we-could work ithe guns: perhapssit was not ‘so; long. After we had ceased rfiring, , and the smoke had ¢leared away from our gun ‘a group of us stood resting on the left wheel, A wreath of smoke rose fiom a tree about 200 yards to our right front, nnd a bullet came from a sharpshooter’s gun, crashed into the hub of the wheel we had hold of, and three buckshot glanced on the tire and spattered lead upon us. It was a pretty good shot. We hastily loaded our gunswith solid shot,ran it forward, about 10 feet above the ground. We were too tired to go and see what be- us any more.—F. M.

He faces every kind of a ball, aud no fear of an error deters him a mo ent. This is true ball playing.

It was the hour at which Jesus died on Calvary (Math. xxvii., 46-50). We are reminded that prayer can be acceptableonly through the merits of Jesus our sacrifice. See Rev. viii, 3 4, Compare David and Daniel praying thre> times a day (Ps. lv., 19; Dan. vi., 10). 2. ‘And a certain nan, lame from his mother’s womb, was “carriel, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple.” This man, over forty years of aze (chapter iv, 2), had apparently no thought 0! ever be- ing healed, but desired only the alms 6f the worshipers, that tous he might eze out a living. ‘We wonder why, when Jesus healed the man born blind (John ix., 1), probably at the same gate, Ho passed by this man, who was also afflicted from his birth. Did He purposely leave this man for Peter and John to heal? 3. "Who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked an alms.” How many there are who are spiritually lame, and like Mephibosheth, lame on both feet through the fault of another—Adam and his sin (IT Sam. iv., 4; ix., 13); who know nothing of the King's table, but desire only temporal gifts. 4. “*And’ Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with. John said, Look on us;’ They must have passed him many a time bstore, for he was there every day, but now they are by the Spirit in them led to give heed to hin, If we were always filled with the Spirit then God would work in us (Phil. ii., 3; Heb. xiii., 21) and we would see many an opportunity of making Him known to the people whom we meet and pass unnoticed every day. 5. “And he gave heed unto them expect- ing to receive something of them.” It was money he wanted, and for money reached out his hand, as almost any one will. He little thought of the durable riches and righteousness (Prov. viii., .18) which were within his reach 6. *‘Then Peter said, ‘Silver and gold have 1 none;! but such as L have give I thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.’ ” Thereis something more than money which can be had without money (Isa. iv., 1). Money for which all people toil cannot give health of body at all times, and never health of soul (Ps. xlix,, 6, 7). Bug Jesus, who is heaven's riches for body and soul, may ‘ba had by all (John i,, 12; vi., 37; iii,, 16; Rev. xxii, 17). 7; “And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up; and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.” = God in Peter reached out the hand to him, and wrought through Peter in the name of Jesus on behalf of the lame man, according to Mark xvi., 20. Why may not every be- liever believing Isa., xli.. 13, be used at leastin some measure inthe same way. According to your faith (Math, ix., 29). 5. **And he, leaping up, stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walk- ing and leaping and praising God.” | Long betore had the prophet said that such things as this would come to pass (Isa. xxxv. 0). But who can tell the feelings of this man under this sevenfold manifestation of the power of Jesus's name? Whatdo we know of the power of this name? 9. *‘And all the people saw him walking and raisin God.” When God works mightily people must see it; and if thers are no works of God manifest in us, where is the evidence that God is in us? It people glorified God in Paul (Gal. i., 24) why notin us also? Perhaps we have not Paul's am- bition (Phil. i.; 20; ii. 8-14.) . .. 10. ‘“And tney knew that it was he; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which happened unto him.” ‘The change was marked and unmistakable, Per~ haps some ‘of them would think of the man born blind, whose eyes Jesus had opened and be compelled to. conclude that this Jesus although-crucified was yet -glivé, That is what ES eltavers are now on earth for, that them and Jesus thus made known (II Cor, iv., 11). : y : 11. *And as the lame: man. which was Lealed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them, graatly wonder- ing.” The healed: man naturally clung to his deliverers; and the crowd ran to- see the healed ‘and the healers. ‘There being but little of the power of God in the church to- day, the crowd haye to be drawn by enter- tainments and suppersand concerts; but let some of the power that was seen on this occa- sion be again manifest and the things which now disgrace the church shall speedily vanish. 12. ‘Ye men of Israel, wiy marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us?’ Thus Peter spoke to the people as with won- der they gazed first at phe healed man and then at the apostles. ot knowing God the invisible, people will gaze upon and wonder at the visible instruments whom God is graciously pleased to use, And as soon as the instrument is willing to bs magnified the wer ceases ([ Cor. i., 29). 13. “The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, had glorified His Son Jesus, whom ye delivered up.” - With the power of the risen, ascended and glorified Jesus manifest in the healed man, Peter now preaches unto them Jesus and the resurrection according to the Scrip tures of the prophets (verse 18), urging them to repentance and to look for the return of Christ to restore all things (verses 19-21). 14, ‘*But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to granted unto’ you!” He faithfully and fearlessly charges home upon them their sin, not only of preferring a murderer to the Holy One, but of actually murdering the Holy One. Consider the testimony of men and demons to the holiness of Jesus, (Mark i, 23, 24; Math. xxvii., 4, 19, 54). 15. “And killed the Prince of Life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.” Man crucified the Son of God, but God raised Him from the dead and and gave Him glory (Eph. ii, 20; I Pet. i, 21), saying, “Sit Thou at My right hand un- til I make ‘Chine enamies Thy footstool” (Ps: cx., 1; Acts ii., 34-86). i 16. “And His name, through faith in His name, hath made this man strong.” The faith of Peter and John in the mame of Jesus brought perfect soundness to this man who had been for over forty years a cripple. ‘What has our faith in Jesus ever accom- plished for others? Consider the faith of the four in Mark ii., 3,5."
