The "Wind Will Not Blow: Tliro Their Whiskers. indignant contempt were hurled on them, and learned universities decreed the bible out of existence. Thomas Paine said: "In my Age of Reason' I have annihilated the scriptures. Your Washington is a pusillanimous Christian, but I am the foe of bibles and of churches." how many assaults upon that word! All the hostilities that have ever been created on eartli are not to be compared with the hostilities against that one book. Said one his infidel desperation, to his wife: "You must not be-reading that bible," and he snatched it away from her.

And though in that bible was a lock of hair of the dead child the only child God had ever given them he pitched the book with its contents into the fire, and stirred it with the tongs, and spat on it, and cursed it, and said: "Susan, never have any more of that damnable stuff here!" How many individual and organized attempt hare been made to exterminate that bible! Have, they done it? Have they exterminated the American Bible society? Have they exterminated the British and Foreign Bible society? Have they exterminated the thousands of Christian institutions, whose only object it is to multiply copies of the scriptures, and throw them broadcast around the world? They have exterminated until instead of one or two copies of the bible in our houses we have eight or ten, and we pile them up in the corners of our Sabbath school rooms, and send great boxes of them every where. If they get on as well as they are now going on in the work extermination, I don't know but that our children may live to see the millennium! Yea, if there should come a time of persecution in which all the known bibles of the earth should be des-stroyed, all these lamps of light that blaze in our pulpits and in our families extinguished in the very day that infidelity and sin should be holding jubilee over the universal extinction therfi would be in rushes into the nursery of the king and picks up Joash, what shall she do with him? Shall she take him to some room in the palace? No; for the otiieial desperadoes will hunt through every nook and corner of that building. Shall she take him to the residence of some wealthy citizen? No; that citizen ould not dare to harbor the fugitive. But she has tc take him somewhere. She hear3 the cry of the mob in the streets; she hears the shriek of the dying nobility, so she rushes with Joash into the room of the temple, into the house of God, and then she puts him down.

She knows that Athaliah and her wicked assassins will not bother the temple a great deal; they are not apt to gc very much to church, and so she sets down Joash in the temple. There "he ill be heaiing the songs of the worshipers year after yean there he will breathe the odoi of the golden censers; in the sacred spot he will tarry, secreted until the six years have passed, and he come to enthorne-ment. Would to God that we were all as wise a3 Jehosheba, and knew that the church of God is the best hiding place. Perhaps our parents took us there in early days; they snatched us away from the worhl and hid us behind 'the baptismal fonts and amid the Bibles and the psalm books. glorious inclosure! We have been breathing the breath of the golden censers all the time, -and we have seen the lamb on the altar and we have handled the phials which are the prayers of all saints, and we have dwelt under the wings of the cherubim.

Glorious -inclosure! When my father and mother died, and the property was settled up, there was hardly any. thing left; but they. endowed us with a property worth more than any worldly possession, because they hid us in the temple. And when days of temptation: have come upon my soul I have gone there for shelter; and when assaulted of sorrows, I have gone there for comfort, and there 1 mean to live. I want, like-Joash, to stay there until coronation.

I mean to be buried out of the house of God. men of the world outside there, betrayed, caricatured, and cheated of the world, why do you not come in through the broad, wide open door of Christian communion? I wish I could act the part of Jehosheba to-day, and steal you away from your perils and hide you in the temple. Ah, when you pass away and it will not be long before you do when you pass away it will be a satisfaction to see your children in Christian society. You want to have them sitting at the holy sacraments. You want them mingling in Christian associations.

You would like to have them die in sacred precincts. When you are on your dying bed, and you little ones come up to take. your last word, and you look into their bew ildered faces, yon will want to leave them under the church's benediction. I don't care how hard you are, that is so. I said to a man of the world: "Your son and daughter are going to join our church next Sunday.

Have you any objection?" 'Bless you," he said, "objections? I wish all my children belonged to the church. I don't attend to those matters myself I know I am very wicked but I am very Am Agreement of Tippling Bonse Keepers In Operation. Kansas City, Kan.j 33.

A Victory Scored by Negroes at Alton, IlliuoU. Alton, Jan. 11. At the hour of opening school yesterday all colored children, accompanied by their parents, marched to the high school building and demanded admittance. A body of white citizens ho had assembled for the purpose, resisted the demands, and the city marshal, who searched several of the negroes, found revolvers and other weapons in their possession.

Many of the whites were also armed to resist any effort to force an entrance on the part of the blacks. The blacks formally withdrew. At a meeting in the afternoon the school board of Upper Alton resolved to dismiss the colored pupils in Saleua addition, the neighborhood of the colored settlement, and substitute a mixed school in its place. This is a complete victory for the blacks and excites a great deal of indignation among the whites. Handkerchiefs in Demand.

L. Findlay and William Carelessness the Cause. Louisville, Jan. 11. The most plausible theory as to the cause of the-accident at the caisson by which sixteen men lost their lives, is given by one of-the survivors, Louis Church, and his story received not a little credence from the superintendent of the work.

Knox, the foreman, had been seen near the key which controls the air supply, and it is believed tliat he cut off the air more than he realized, causing the caisson to sink into the sand. Should the remains of the first' white man prove to be Knox, the theory is strengthened, as the key which controls the air is only a short distance from the lower or last trap, and Knox was the only white man near it.

Since the appearance of thegripjMj in this city the demand for this remedy has become so great that the stock on hand is about exhausted.

13. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the Iowa W. C.

T. IL, passed through Chicago to-day her way east after having been in attendance upon a special meeting of the executive committee of the Iowa W. C. T. U.

and also the general mass convention of the temperance people from the entire state. In an interview she said: "The Iowa union, though still technically auxiliary to the national union, will at the next annual meeting sever its constitutional auxiliary-ship. The election of a Democratic governor did not turn on the question of prohibition. The transportation question and others of a purely local character determined the results. The Republicans still have a majority in the legislature and I believe a few Democrats will be governed by their own temperance principles and vote against the repeal of the law.

The convention just adjourned was the largest and most enthusiastic of any ever held in the state." "Will Senator Allison be "He will. No man in the state is more popular than; he." "How about the Shoreham kept by Vice-President Morton?" "I have always -opposed, and still oppose the use snd sale of intoxicating liquors in any place under any conditions. As regards Vice President Morton's responsibility for the use of liquors by the residents of his apartment house in Washington, I have been misquoted. I said that the drinking usage of society was felt in all circles of national life and that very few hotels were -without bars. We have proved in Iowa that a bar is not a necessity in a hotel." "What are the real facts about Mr.

Morton's '1 have visited the Shoreham. There is no bar. The proprietor, Mr. Keenan, did Eecure A bar room license. He does furnish by the authority thus conferred liquors to his guests at their meals.

He does not furnish liquors by the drink. I saw his application for the license. Mr. Morton's name is not on it." "'You consider the Shoreham, then, as being conducted on correct temperance principles?" "By no means. It is an elegant family apartment house and first class in the ordinary acceptation of the term, but it is not conducted on temperance principles, and Mr.

Morton's, eminent pos-ition as a Christian gentleman and broad philanthropist clearly illustrates how much ha3 yet to be accomplished before the temperance reform will have done its work." Much Kast Wind. Washington, Jan. 13. Saturday was a field day among the contestants for the world's fair. In the forenoon Hon.

Chauncey M. Depcw eloquently urged the claims of New York before the special committee of the senate. In referring to the exhibit of this country at the Paris exposition he said: "In conversation with the representatives of the various countries I saw that the Impression was produced that the United States might be immense in area of territory, might have an enormous population, might have free institutions, but that in the competition for the trade for the world it was absolutely deficient in skill. The only thing which attracted the attention of the assembled nations was petrified wood from Arizona, and one of tho representatives of Great Britain endeavoring to compensate me for my mortification said: 'Your representation of petrified wood js absolutely unequaled in thi3 great In the afternoon -the Chicago delegation had front seat3 and Mayor DeWitt C. Cregier spoke earnestly in favor of locating the fair at Chicago, because of the location of the city itself.

It is in the center of the agricultural interests of the country and, therefore, the best place for a fair intended for that people. Thos. B. Bryan followed and was frequently interrupted by applause. In closing he referred to the speech of Mr.

Depew, saying he never opened his mouth without opening a casket of gems of wit and wisdom. He (the speaker) said he could not help wishing while Mr. Depew was speaking that these gems were blocks which might be changed into marble, for then he knew that the goddess of liberty would not have been compelled to wait so long for her pedestal, nor her eyes have grown weary waiting for a sight of the Washington memorial arch and the Grant monument. Chicago ha3 one thing, he said, that New York has not (by the admission of the speaker this morning, Mr. Depewr) public spirit, and that spirit invites the location of the fair.

In the Toils. Iola, Jan. 13. Six men of more or less prominence have been arrested here for the murder in August, 1888, of Columbus Carter.

Upon his release from the custody of the oflicers of the law he was met on his way home by the "Land Leaguers" who shot him to death. The six farmers arrested to-day are charged with being implicated in th crime. Negrces in Oklahoma. St. Loms, Jan.

13. A special from To-peka, says W. L. Eggleson, the To-peka man, who is indeavoring to induce the negroes of South Carolina to emigrate to Oklahoma, has already succeeded in settling 800 negroes there. They are mostly from Topeka, and have left during the past six months.

They have established a colony near Kingfisher and are opening farms and building houses, Eggleson seems to be acting on his own responsibility. Influential colored men here think that he will go to Oklahoma himself and there endeavor to. become the political leader of the negroes. The IJaoy King Madrid, Jan. 13.

The infant Alfonso is reported much better to-day. His illness has caused great activity in the Republican ranks.

the Discourse Wa Found la Becon4 Kings xi 2, 3, and Here Is Keport In Full. Paris, Jan. 12. The Rev. T.

De Witt Talmage, D. of Brooklyn, preached in this city to-day. He la making" his way home, where lie expects to reach in the early part of February. Dr. Talniage'a text was: the daughter! Joram, sister of took oash, the son of Ahaziah, and stolfiLim from among the king's sons which were slain; and they- hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so thai he was not slain.

And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years." II 'Kings, xi, 2, 3. lie said: Grandmothers are more lenient with their children's children, than they were with their own. At forty years of age, if discipline be necessary, chastisement is used, but at seventy, the grandmother, looking upon the misbehavior of the giandchild, is apologetic and disposed to substitute confectionery for whip. There is nothing more beautiful than this mellowing of old age toward childhood. Grandmother takes out her handkerchief and wipes her spectacles, and puts them on, and looks down into the face of her mischievous and rebellious descendant, and says: "1 don't think he meant to do it; let him off this time; I'll be responsible for his in the future." My mother, with the second generation around her a boisterous crew said one day: "I suppose they ought to be disciplined, but I Can't do it.

Grandmothers are not fit tcHring. up grandchildren." But here, Inmy text, we have a grandmother of a difl'erent hue. 7-i have within a few days been at where the occurrence of the text book took place, and the whole scene came vividly before me while I was going over the site of the ancient temple and elimb-injt the. towers of the king's palace. Here in the text is old Athaliah, the queenly murderess.

She ought to have been honorable. Her father was a king. Her husband was a king. Her son was a king. And yet we find her plotting for the extermination of the entire royal family, including her own grandchildren.

The executioners' knives are sharpened. The palace is red with the blood of princes and princesses. On all sides are shrieks, and hands thrown up, and struggle, and death groan. No mercy! Kill! Kill! But while the ivory floors of the palace run with carnage, and the whole land is under the shadow of a great horror, a fleet footed woman, a clergyman's wife, Je-hosheba by name, stealthily approaches the imperial nursery, seizes upon the grandchild that had somehow as yet escaped massacre; wraps it up tenderly but in haste, snuggles it against her, flies down the palace stairs, her heart in her throat lest she be discovered in this Christian abduction. Get her out of the way as quick as you can, for she carries a precious burden, even a young king.

With this youthful prize she presses into the room of the ancient temple, the church of olden time, unwraps the young king and puts him down, sound asleep as he is, and unconscious of the peril that has been threatened; and there for six years he is secreted in that church apartment. Meanwhile old Athaliah smacked her lips with satisfaction, and thinks that all the royal family are dead. But the six years expire, and it is time for young Joash to come forth and take the throne, and to push back into disgrace and death old Athaliah. The arrangements are all made for political revolution. The military come and take possession of the temple, swear loyalty to the Joash and stand around for his defense.

See the sharpened swords and burnished shieldsl Everything is read'. Now Joash, half affrighted at the armed tramp of his defenders, scared at the vociferation of his admirers, is brought forth in full regalia. The scroll of authority is put into his hand, the coronet of government Is put on his brow, and the people clapped, and waved, and huzzaed, and trqmpeted. "What is said Athaliah. "What is that sound over in the temple?" And she flies to see, and on her way they meet her and say: "Why, havent yon heard? Yon thought you had slaju all the royal family, but Joash has come to light." Then the queenly murderess, frantic with rage, grabbed her mantle and tore it to tatters, and cried until she foamed at the mouth: "You have no business to crown my grandson.

Yrou have no right to take the government from my shoulders. Treason! Treason!" While she stood there crying that, the military started for her arrest, and she took a short cut through the back door of the temple, and ran through the royal stables; but the battle axes of the military fell on her in the barn yard, and for many a day, when the horses were being unloosed from the chariot, after drawing out 3'oung Joash, the fiery steeds would snort and rear passing the place, as they smell the blood of the carnage. The first thought I hand you from this subject is that the extermination of righteousness is an imposibility. When a woman is good, she is apt to be very good, and when she is bad, she is apt to be very bad, and this Athaliah was one of the latter sort. She would exterminate the last scion of the house of David, through whom Jesus was to come.

There was plenty of work for embalniers and undertakers. She would clear the land of all God i fearing and God loving people. She would put an end to everything that could in any wise Interiere with her imperial, criminality. She folds her hands and says: "The work is done; it is completely done." Is it? In the swaddling clothes of that church apartment are wrapped the cause of God, and the cause of good government. That is the scion of the house of David; it is Joash, the Christian reformer; it is Joash, the friend of God; it la Joash, the demoralizer of Baalitish idolatry.

Rock him tenderly; nurse him gently. Athaliah, you may kill all the other children, but you can not -kill him. Eternal defenses are thrown all around him, and this. clergyman's wife, Jehosheba, will snatch him np from the palace nursery, and will run down with him into the house of the Lord, and there she will hide him for six and at the end of that time he will come forth for your dethronement and obliteration. Well, my friends, just as poor a botch world always make of extinguishing righteousness.

Superstition rises'hp-and says: "I will just put an end to pure religion." Domitian slew forty thousand Christians, Diocletian slew eight hundred and forty-four thousand tlans. And the scythe of persecution has been swung through all the ages, and the flames hissed, and the guillotine chopped, nd the Bastile groaned; but did the foes of Christianity exterminate it? Did they exterminate Alban, the first British sacrifice; or Zuinglius, the Swiss reformer; or John Oldeastle, the Christian nobleman; or Abdallah, the Arabian martyr; or Anue Askew, or Sanders, or Cranmer? Great work of extermination they made of it. ust at the time when thev thought they had slain all the royal family of Jesus, some Joash would spring up and out, and take the throne of power, and wield a very scepter of Christian dominion. Infidelity says: "I'll just exterminate the bible," and the scriptures were thrown into the street for the mob to trample on, and they were piled up in the public squares and set on fire, and mountains of The total debt of Atchison is $55,5501 The vule-loz of Kansas was the corn.

Troy Chief: Prof. Failyer, of the state agricultural college, justifies and advocates the burning of corn for fuel.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, which has developed great powers of inquisition of late, especially in matters pertaining to Kansas, inquires: "Why don't the farmers of eastern Pennsylvania move tc Kansas and raise corn?"

Wattcrson. It must be, then, that the mortgage lias been paid, for otherwise it would be in possession of the party to whom it was given. K. C. Star: President Harrison defers to Kansas sentiment, and has commuted the sentence of the murderer whom the authorities ex iecled to have the pleasure of hanging in Wichita.

Such proofs of courteous consideration should not go un-uoticel. A man in Missouri sued another for $20,000 damages for calling him a liar. A Kansas man would have ollered to shake dice with him two horses out of three to see whether he was correct or not. But those Missouri jcople always were very sensitive anyhow. A Kansas man cannot keep house without a railroad.

A Kansas baby, as soon as it can stand on its legs can run from one end of a moving pas.cnger coach to the other. It is built that way. Kansaf Las paid tl railroads and the railroads have paid Kansas. It is sail that with the present railroad facilities iu the state it will take three months to haul the heat and a year to move the corn. By the time this is there will be another crop just as big and the railroads will be kept busy in consequence.

Manhattati Mercury: In the past six weeks close to 200 mortgages have been released in Riley county. For several mouths there have bcu ten more real estate and twenty more chattel mortgages raleased per month than have been tiled, which is, to say the least, a most favorable showing. Prof. II. F.

Snow, of the state university, in his meteorological report for tho year 1S89, says: The most notable features were the remarkable absence of extremes of heat and cold, resulting in a very mild winter and a very cool summer, the abundant and well distributed rainfall making it one of the wettest years in our twenty-two years' record. Hon. A. R. Green, state railroad commissioner, says that the great bulk of tha correspondence of his office at the present time was occasioned by the car famine, the like of which was never known Iu this country.

The railroad companies are utterly unable to supply more than a Email percentage of the cars required, and freight cars of every description, including coal, refrigerator and fruit cars, are being employed to haul the surplus grain of Kansas. Washington Post: It Is related that when Mr. Crane, the comedian, first appeared in "The Senator," which he is playing in Albaugh's orient Louse this week, a friend came to him after the per-formance and said: "Billy.that make up of yours is simply perfect." "Glad you like it," said the comedian. "Why, man, it is precisely like him." "Like himV" exclaimed Mr. Crane.

"Like who?" Why, like Senator Plumb, of course." The next night the make up was modi-fied, for Mr. Crane had not intended to look like anybody in particular.

Ellen Foster ITnlimbers Her Tongue. Most Shed Their Whiskers. Philadelphia, Jan. 13. In compliance with a general order issued by the superintendent of the Philadelphia and "Head-ing railroad company, the brakeman and baggage-masters employed on the road will be compelled to report for duty in the future with clean-shaven faces.

This order has caused no end of talk among the men, many of whom have beards remarkable for grace and beauty. Brakeman William II. Welch supports a beard a la Van Dyke. He is as proud of his facial adornment as a peacock is of its tail, and, rather than sacrifice his dignity to an arbitrary rule of railroad fashion, he has decided to throw up: his job. About a year a similar order was issued, Welch was excepted, as he excused himself for wearing whiskers by stating that he had a sore throat.

This excuse will not go this year. It is simply a -case of whiskers and no work, or steady employment and no A number of employes who enjoyed the luxury of a clean shave are now suffering with the "grippe." In connection with the order doing away with beards is an order compelling the men to keep their coats closely buttoned when on duty. This means for the men a sort of Russian bath between stations. When the superintendent of the road issued his sweeping order for a sacrifice of the beards he made no explanation, but it is generally understood that his idea i3 to have all the men employed on the road look as slick as possible. According to his way of thinking a man can not meet this requirement except by having a cleanshaven face.

Hogged It All. Tofeka, Jan. 13. The answer which has been filed in the United States circuit court in this city in the Chicago, Kansas Nebraska foreclosure case by the municipal stockholders of Kansas, contains some very interesting allegations. It sets forth that the Chicago, Hock Island Pacific company owns 23,150,000 of the Chicago, Kansas Nebraska stock for which it never paid a dollar; that it has received all the bonds earned by the construction of said railroads and has converted the saine to its own use; that from the beginning the Chicago, Kansas Nebraska railroad company lias treated the municipal stockholders as without right or interest in the management of the property, has made no report to them as stockholders of its actings and sent them no notice of its meetings, and has absolutely ignored them as having any stake, share or interest in the property; that at all times, by reason of its alleged ownership of the stock for which it has never paid a cent the Chicago, Hock Island Pacific company has assumed to and has exercised absolute con-' trol in all the affairs of the company, and' has had in view from the beginning the unlawful purpose sought to be accomplished by the collusive suit brought hy said complainant in said original bill at it3 instance and behest.

A receiver is asked for pending litigation. Sheridan's Statement. Chicago, Jan. 13. The sensational statement of P.

Sheridan in the Denver News is looked upon with considerable suspicion by well informed Irishmen here. Many of the beleviers in Dr. Cronin believe they detect in it the tine Italian, or rather Irish, hand of Alexander Sullivan, as he has heretofore shown great ingenuity in manufacturing statements in regard to Parnell. Sheridan's affidavit is that on October 15. 1SS8, a man came to his ranch in Rio Grande county, Colorado, introduced himself as an agent of the London Times.

He said he had been sent over by Joseph Soames, the attorney for the Times, to see if I would come to London and testify on behalf of that newspaper before the Parnell commission that Parnell was a party to the Phoenix Park murders, and that lie was offered $100,000 for such evidence. He also gives an explanation of the telegrams received from Michael Davltt from Paris by himself and Alex. Sullivan, dated May 6, two days after the murder of Dr. Cronin. The Montana Muddle.

Helena, Jan. 13. Saturday afternoon Messrs. Sanders and Powers, who were elected United States senators by the Republican house and senate, made formal application to Governor Toole for certificates of election. Their request was denied on the ground that their election was illegal, and also because of the fact that Governor Toole had.

already given certificates of election to Clark and Maginnis, elected by the Democrats. The legislative deadlock continues in full force and the Republicans have decided to break it, so far as the senate is concerned, by unseating Mr. McNamara, a Democrat, who is ineligible because of his being a federal official. This will give the Republicans full and free control of the senate. The Farmer's Loan Bill.

Washington, Jan. 13. Senator Cul-lom has introduced a queer bill in the senate, which would mate him immensely popular among the farmers if he could secure its passage. He was not the author of the measure, but it came to him from Pomona Grange, of Coles county, 111., and is short and sweet, reading as follows: "Be it enacted, That the Secretary of the Treasury be and is hereby authorized to loan to the farmers of the United States out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, at 2 per cent pet annum, and secure the payment of the same by mortgage on the lands."

It propitiates a maid If you seem a bit afraid; If you look too sare you may Pinna th answer into "Day." some closet of a backwooods church a Eccreted copy of the bible, and this Joash of eternal literature would come out and come up and take the throne, and the Athaliah of infidelity and. persecution would fly out the back door of the palace, and drop her miserable carcass under the hoofs of the horses of the king's stables. You cannot exterminate Christianity! Yrou cannot kill Joash! The second thought I hand you from my subject is, that there are opportunities in which Ave may save royal life.

You know that profane history is replete with stories of strangled monarchs and of young princes who have been put out of the way. Here is the story of a young king saved. How Jehosheba, the clergyman's wife, must have trembled as she rushed into the imperial nursery and snatched up Joash. How she hushed h'm, lest by his cry he hinder the escape. Fly with hirii! Jehosheba, you hold in your arms the cause of God and good government.

Fail, and he is slain. Succeed, and you turn the tide of the world's history in the right direction. It seems as if between that young king and his assassins there is nothing but the frail arm of a woman. But why should we spend our time in praising this bravery of expedition when God asks the same thing of you and me? All around us are the imperiled children of a great King. They are born of Almighty parentage, and will come to a throne or a crown, if permitted.

But sin, the old Athaliah, goes forth to the massacre. Murderous temptations are out for the assassination. Valens, ine emperor, was toia that there was somebody in his realm who would usurp his throne, and that the name of the man who should be the usurper would begin with the letters T. II. E.

O. and the edict went forth from the emperor's throne: "Kill everbody whose name begins with T. II. E. O.

And hundreds and thousands were slain, hoping by that massacre to put an end to that one usurper. But sin is more terrific in its denunciation. It matters not how you spell your name, you come under its knife, under its sw ord, under its doom, unless there be some omnipotent relief brought to the rescue. But blessed be God, there is such a thing a3 delivering a royal soul. Who will snatch away Joash? This afternoon, in your Sabbath school class, there will be a prince of God some one who may yet reign as king forever before the throne; there will be some one in your class who has a corrupt physical inheritance; there will be some one in your class who has a father and mother who do not know how to pray; there will be some one in your class who is destined to command in church or state some Cromwell to dissolve a parliament, some Beethoven to touch the world's harp strings, some John Howard to pour fresh air into the lazaretto, some Florence Nightingale to bandage the battle Miss Dix to soothe the crazed brain, some John Frederick Oberlin to educate the besotted, some David Brainard to change the Indian's war whoop to a Sabbath John Wesley to marshal three-fourths of Christendom, some John Knox to make queens turn pale, some Joash to demolish idolatry and strike for the kingdom of heaven.

There are sleeping in your cradles by night, there are playing in your nurseries by day, imperial souls waiting for dominion, and which ever side the cradle they get out will decide the destiny of empires. I or each one ol these children, sm and holiness contend Athaliah on the one Hide, Jehosheba on the other. But I hear people say: "What's the use of bothering children with religious instruction? Let them grow up and choose for themselves. Don't interfere with their volition." Suppose some one had said to Jehosheba: "Don't interfere with that young Joash. Let him grow np and decide whether he likes the palace or not, whether he wants to be king or not.

Don't disturb his volition." Jehosheba knew right well that unless that day the young king was rescued, he would never be rescued at all. I tell you, my friends, the reason we don't reclaim all our children from world-liness is because we begin- too late. Parents wait until their children lie before they teach them the value of truth. They wrait until their -children swear before they teach them the importance of righteous conversation. They wait until their children are all wrapped np in this wTorld before they tell them of a better world.

Too late with your prayers. Too late with your discipline. Too late with your benediction. You put all eare upon your children between "twelve and eighteen. Why do you not put the chief care between four and nine? It is too late to repair a vessel when it has got out of the dry docks.

It is too late to save Joash after the executioners have broken in. May God arm us all for this work of snatching royal souls from death to coronation. Can you imagine any sublimer work than this soul saving? That was what flushed Paul's cheek with enthusiasm: that was what led Munson to risk his life amid Bornesian cannibals; that was hat sent Dr. Abeel to preach under the consuming skies of China; that was what gave courage to Phocus in the third century. When the military officers came to put him to death for Christ's sake, he put them to bed that they might rest while he himself went out, and in his own garden dug his grave, and then came back and said, "I am ready," but they were shocked at the idea of taking the life of their host.

He said, "It is the will of God that I should die," and he stood on the margin of his own grave and they beheaded him. You say it is a mania, a foolhardiness, a fanaticism. Rather would I call it a glorious self abnegation, the thrill of eternal satisfaction, the plucking of Joash from death, and raising him to coronation. The third thought I hand to you from my text is that the church of God is a good hiding place. When Jehosheba glad niey are going, and I shall be there to see them.

I am very glad sir; I am very glad. I want them there." And so, though-yon may have been wanderers from God, and though you may have sometimes caricatured the church of Jesus, it is your great desire that our sons and daughters should be standing all their lives within this sacred inclosure. More than that, you yourself will want the church for a hiding place when the mortgage is foreclosed; when your daughter, just blooming into womanhood, suddenly clasps her hands in a slumber that knows no waking; when gaunt trouble walks through the parlor, and the sitting-room, and the dining hall, and the nursery, you will want some shelter from the tempest. Ah, some of you have been run upon hy misfortune and trial; why do you not come into the shelter? I said to a widowed mother after she had buried her only son months after I said to her: "How do you get slong nowadays?" "Oh," she replied, "I get along tolerably well except when the sun shines." I said: "What do you mean by that?" when she said: "I can't bear to see the sun shine; my heart is so dark that all the brightness of the natural world seems a mockery to me." O. darkened soul, broken hearted man, broken hearted oman, why do you not come into the shelter? I swing the door wide, open.

I swing it from wall to wall. Come in! Comefti! Yon want a place where your troubles shall lie interpreted, where your burdens shall be unstrapped, where your tears shall be wiped away. Church of God. be a shining place to all these people. Give them a seat where they can rest their weary souls.
