Zion with songs and ever. asting joy woon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and s nhing shall flee away. —Isaiab xXXV,, €-10. “here are thousands of people here this srorning who want to find the right road. You sometimes see a person halting at cross- roads, and vou can tell by bis looks that ho svishes to ask a question as to what direction he had better take, And I stand in your presence this morning conscious of the fact theve are many of you here who realize that there are a thousand wrong roads, but only one right one, and [ take it for granted that vou have come into ask which one itis. "Hers is one road that opens widely, but 1 have not much faith in it. There are a great many expensive tollgates scattered all along that way. Indeed at every rod you must pay in tears, or pay. in flagellations. On that road, if you get through it at all, you have to pay your own way, and sinca this differs so much from what I have heard in regard to the right way, I believe itis the Wrong way. Here isanother road. On either side of 4t are houses of sinful entertainment, and juvitations to come 1n and dine and rest, “but from the looks of the people who stand en the piazza Iam very certain that itis the wrong house and the wrong way. Here 4s another road. It is very beautiful and macadamized. The horsss’ hoofs clatter and wring, and they who ride over it spin along the highway until suddenly they find that the road breaks over an embankment, and they try to halt, and they saw the bit in the mouth of ths fiery steed and cry “Whoa! whoa!” But 1t is too late, and— _ crash !—they go over the embankment. We shall turn this morning and sze if we cannot find & different kind of aroad. You have heard of the Appian Way. It was thres hundred and fifty miles long. It was twenty-four feet wide, and on either side the road was a path for foot passengers. But I have this morning to tell you of a road built before the Appian Way,and yet it is as good as when first construed. Millions of souis have gons over it. Millions more will cone. First, this road of the text is the King’s highway. Well, my Lord the King decided to build a highway from earth to heaven. It should svan all the chasms of human wratch- edness; it should tunnel all the mountains of earthly difficulty; it should be wide enough and stronz enough to hold fifty thousand millions of the human race, if so many of them should ever be born. It should be Dbiasted out of the “Rock of Ages,” and e¢amented with the blood of the Cross, and be lifted amid the shouting of angels and the execration of devils, ihe King sent His Son to build that road. 'c put bead and hanland heart to it, antl aiter the road was completed, waved His blistered hand over the way crying, “It is finishad.” Still fucther—this road spoken of is a clean road. Many a fine road has become miry and foul becaus? it has not been prop- oriy cared for; but my text says the un- clegn shall nov walk on this ons. Room on eiguer side to throw away your sins, In- deel, if you want to carry them along. you are not on the richt road. That bridge will break. thos: overhanging rocks will fall, the nigit willcome down, leaving you ab the mercy of the mountain bandits, and at the very next turnof the road you will perish. Bug if you are really on this clean road of which I have been speaking, then you will ston ever and anon to wash in the water that stands in the basin of the eternal rock. Aye, at almost every step of the journey you will be crying out, “Create within me a clean heart!” 1i you have no such asnirations as that it «proves tha; you have mistaken your way, and if von will only look up and see the fingerboard above your head you inay read upon it tne words, ‘here is a way tbat seemeth rizht unto a man, but the end thereof is death.” Without lisiiness no man shall see the Lord, and il you have any idea thas you can carry alonr your sins, your | us.s, you worldliness and yet to the end ol ths Uaoristian race you are so awfully mis- taten that, in the name of God, this moras ing I shatter the delusion. Sgillyurcher, the road spoken of is a plain road. ‘The wayfaring men, thouza fools, shalt not err therein’—that is, if a man is three-fonrch an idot he can find this road “Just as well asif he wera a philosopher. Many a man has been familiar with all the higaer branches of mathematics and yes couid nos do the simple sum, **What shall it roc a mau if ho gain the whole world and 032 his own soul?’ Many a man has bzen a fine reader of tragedies and poems and yeu could not “readjhnis title clear to mansionsin the skies.” Many a man has botanized across the continent ani yet did not know the “Rose of Sharon and the Lily of tae Va.ley.” Buti one shall come in the right spirit, asking the way to heaven, he will fini 16 a plain way. The pardon is plain, - "Drie peace is plain. Everything is plain. He who tries to get on the road to heaven througn the New Testament teaching will get on beautifully. He who goes tbhrouga philosophical discuszion will not get on ab all. Christ says, “Come to Me, and I will take all your sins away, and I will take all vour troubles away.” Now. what is the lise of my discussing it any more? ls not that plain? After this Bib.e has pointed you th» way to heaven, is it wisa for m2 to de- tain you with any discussion avout the naure of tae human will, or waether the atonement is limited or unlimited? There is the roat—zo on it. itis a piain way. ~#ill furcher, this road to aeaven is a safe road. Sometimes the traveer in those ar- + eient hizhways wound thins himself perlect- iv secure, not knowing taere wasa iioa by ‘the way vulying bis head deep between his paws, ana then svhen the right moment eanse, under the feariul soring, the raan’s ize was goue and thers was a mauied car- ‘eass Ly the roadside. bur, says my tex, “No lion snail be there.” “I wish I could: mae you feei this morninz your entire se- curity. 1 teil you plainly that one minute aiter a man nas become a child of God he is as safe as thonzh he hal been ten thousund years in heaven, He may slip, he may Slide, hemay stumble, but he cannot be de- stroyed. Kept by the power oi (vod through faith unio complete salvation. Kveriastiag- ly sate. The severest trial to which you can sub ject a Christian man is vo kiil him, and that is giory. In other words, the worst thing thac can heppen a child of God is heaven, Y'he boay is oaly the old sippers that he throws aside just berors putting oa the tancals of light, His soul, you cannot hurs it. No fires can consume it. No floods can drown it, No devils can capture it. His soul is safe. His reputation is safe. Everything is safe. *‘But.” you say, ‘sun Ths i burns up?’ = Why, then it will only be a change of invest. ‘ments from earthly to heavenly securl=: ties. But,” you say, fame goes down under the hoof of ceorn and contem 1? The name will ba so much brighter in glory. -*‘Suppose bis phys- ical health fails?’ ~ God will pour into him ‘the floods of eyeriasting health, and it will not make any difference.

Still further, the road spoken of isa ant road. God gives a bond of nn against all evil to every man that treads it. +'AT] things work together for good to th who love God.” . No weapon formed against them can prosper. That is the bond, signed, sealed and delivered by the President of the universe. What is the use of your frettinz, 0 child of God, about food? ‘Behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap,nor gather inte bands, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.” And wilt He take care of the § w, will Be take cara of the hawk, and let you die? use of your fretti about clothes? ‘‘Cone sider the lilies of the field. Shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?” Oh, this King’s highway! Trees of life on either side bending over until their branches interlock and drop midway their fruit and shade. Houses of entertainment on either side of the road for poor Jherims. Tables spread with a feast of good things and walls adorned with apples of gold in pictures of silver. I start out on this King’s highway, and I find a harper, and I say, “What 1s your name?’ The harper makes no response, but leaves me to guess, as with his eyes to. ward heaven and his hand upon” the trem- bling strings this tune comes rippling out up- on the air: “The Lord is my lizht and mv sal- vation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?’ 3 I go a little farther on the same road and meet a trumpeter of heaven, and I say, “‘Haven’t you got some music for a tired pilgrips And wiping his lip and taking a ong breath, he puts his mouth to the trum- et and pours forth this strain; ‘They sball De aser no more, neither shall they thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, ‘and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” 1 go a little distance farther on the same road, and I mest a maiden of Israel. She has no harp, but she has cymbals. They look as if they had rusted from sea spray, and I say to the maiden of Israel, “Have you no song for a tired pilgrim?’ And like the clang of victors’ shields the cymbalsclap as Miriam begins to discourse, *3ing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and the rider hath He thrown into the sea.” I pursue this subject only one step farther. What is tha terminus? I do not care how fine a road you may put me on, I want to know ‘where it comes out. My text declares it, *Theredeemed of the I.ord come to Zion.” You know what Zion was. That was the King’s palacs.. It was a mountain fastness. It was impregnable. And so heaven is the fastness. of the universe. No howitzer has long enough ranze to shell those towers. Let ail the batteries of earth and hell blazsaway; they cannot break in these gates. Gibralter was taken; Sebas- topol was taken; Babylon fell; but those walls of heaven shall never surrender either to humanity or satanic besiegement. The Lord God Almighty is the defense of it. Great capital of the univers:! Terminus of the King’s highway! When my last wound is healed, when the last heartbreak is ended, when the last tear of earthly sorrow is wiped away, and when the redeemed of the Lord shall com> to Zion, ghen let the harpers take down their harps, and all the trumpters take down their trumpats, and all across heaven there be chorus of morning stars, chorus of white robed victors. chorus of martyrs from un. der the throne, chorus of ages, chorus of worlds, and there be but one song sung, and but one name Spolen, and but one throne honored—that of Jesus only. spe A RACING Pans 1hkauwiEDY. Men Killed and One Fatally Wounded at Gaifield Track. The racing at Garfield Park, Chicago, on Tuesday, terminated in a dreadful tragedy Three men’s lives paid the forfeit of the efl fort to suppress racing on the track. James M. Brown, the millionaire horseman, and Officer John Powell were killed, and Officer Henry McDowell was mortally wounded. The triple shooting was a sequel to the daily raid on the race track. During the previous day's raids by the police, Brown is alleged to have said that he would kill any policeman who attemptedto arrest him. Tuesday afternoon, while the raid was in progress, Brown was stationed on the roof of the stables. Three officers climbed to the roof and Brown, drawing a revolver, warned them off. He was ordered to surrender, but refused and, pointing his weapon at the policemen, began to back to the edge of the roof. One of the policemen fired a shot in the air and Brown made a wild leap from the roof, landing inside the grounds. Officers McDowell and Powell followed in pursuit and some one of the three, suppos- edly Brown, fired a shot. Then the horse- man made a dash for liberty through the south gate. He ran across the prairie to Harrison street near Janhuss avenue, where a brick builaing is in course of con- struction. Here Ofticer Powell overtook him and reached out to grasp him by the sleeve. Turning suddenly around, Brown who still grasped his revolver in his right hand, raised the weapon and fire point blank at the policeman. The bullet struck the offic- erin the mouth and he fell dead. Toen Brown started to run east on Harrison street and encountered Officer McDowell. Both men raised their weapons and fired simul- taneously. McDowell staggered a few feet and than fell across the sidewalk, _ Brown ran west and stopped suddenly to fire again at the prostrate body of Officer Powel. He met officer Jones and both men raised their revolvers and Brown puatled the trigger of his weapon, but no ex- picsion followed. Jones by this time had taken aim at the wounded horseman and fired, Brown sprang into the air and utter- eda sharp cry. He staggered a moment and then, turning, ran into the area way between two buildings and fell dead. Three wu'lets were in his body. One had penetrated the heart. J. M. Brown, who figured in the tragedy, is the owner of G. W. \Johuson, the crack 2- year-old colt of the West, Red Banner, Bor- ealis, and other horses, comprising the best string of runninz horses in the Western and Soutuern running circuits. Brown lives at Lexington, Ky., and was not on'y a weal- thy bub a nervy horseman, backing the oc- cupants of his stable, when he fancied them in races to the limit. The rouble between “the Garfield Park and city otficials js a long standing one, and originated in an attempt on the latter's part to suppress winter racing last winter. - The city authorities neld that the track was not operated so much for racing purposes, as to conduct a pool selling business, which was done on all foreign races, .at enormous profits, As they had suppressed all the pool rooms, they thought it only oroper to do away with its successor, the winter racing track. The cass was lak n into court and constitutionalivy of the pool selling law tested, resulting in a victory for the Garfield park people. Still the city officials thought the fact that they had been selling pogls on foreign races had not been properly present- +d during the trial, and on this ground con- tinued prosecutions and failing in this they again sought to close the track at all times not stipulated in the Stale law or ity ordi- nance covering race tracks,und it 18 ou these acts which {imc the ime for racing tuey ure now procee ting.

In the Pittsburg Criminal Court, Charles Havers, who escaped from the work house, had seven indictments against him—four for burglary, one for escape, one for assault ing Keeper Eberbart, and one for robbing him. 'To all of these Hayers pleaded guilty Judge Kennedy sentenced Havers five years to the penitentiary for the assault, three years each on the four charges of burglary, and two years forthe escape, followed by two years to the work house on the larceny charge.” This%hiade a total of 19 years to the penitentiary, and two years to the work- house follow. As Havers still has two years and three months of his old sentence to serve in the work house, he has before him a total of 23 years and three months’ im- prisonment. A MURDER OVER SULLIVAN AND CORBETT, A murder occurred at Latimer as a result of a dispute growing out of the Sullivan: Corbett fight. The victim was Anthony Weeds, a miner, who discusced the merits of the fight with George Warwick, another miner. Bad blood resulted and the men parted to meet a short time later, when Weed accused Warwick of stealing his shovel. Warwick picked up an iron bar and struck his accuser to the ground, where the injured man d:ed soon after. Warwick has fled. SEVEN KILLED IN A COLLISION.

The congress adopted a resolution declaring that an eight-hour dav should be made compulsory. except where a particular trade ballotted to be exempted.

Two hundred and five ballots were cast in its favor. The congress rejected a motion to promote a bill in parliament to prevent the importation of foreign labor during strikes.
