'Who art thou , K Y * ° great mountain ? before Zerubbabel Hbjv thou shalt become a plain. ' " HPi/ / ' Well , the Cuthaeans are not all l nr dead > 'et- They are Dusy in ever > HKiW neighborhood and every city and U every nation of every age , heaping ob- Hsj stacles in the way of the cause of God. Hfffi .They . have piled up hindrances above Pfffj hindrances until they have become a K | | | hill , and the hill has become > moun- k1 | tain , and the mountain has become an Hff Alp , and there it stands , right in the 1 \ vway of all movements for the world's K \ salvation. Some people are so dis- B' ' \ couraged about the height and breadth Hi J of this mountain in front of them that j BW C they have done nothing for sixteen Bjlf | years and many of those who are at H ) 'work trying to do something toward H i removing the mountain toil in such a ET "way that I can see they have not much Hfjj faith that the mountain of hindrances BM , Tvill ever be removed. They feel they h5 y must do their duty , but they feel all HF | \ the time I can hear it in their pray- H [ | A ers and exhortations that they are mjf- * ' striking their pickaxes and shovels H' ' into the side of the Rocky Mountains. B If the , good Lord will help me while BK I preach 1 will give you the names of Ep. some of the high mountains which are B wj really in the way , and then show you B | ' { that those mountains are to be pros- BrM trated , torn down , ground up , leveled , J H 'f Put out of sight forever. "Who art HkIi thou , O great mountain ? before Ze- Kf ) rubbabel thou shalt become a plain. " Bj' * First , there is the Mountain of Bj Prejudice , as long as a range of the Hw Pyrenees. Prejudice against the Bible Ek , as a dull fr ° ° k an inconsistent book , HVn a cruel book , an unclean book , and in UKSjT every way an unfit book. The most of B j\ them have never read it They think Hn.i "tQe strata of the rocks contradict the Hra' ' account in Genesis. The poor souls Kjj do not know that the Mosaic account Kv agrees exactly with the geological ac- B | ; count. No violin or flute ever were in HPv better accord. By crowbar and pick- K ) a5e aQd shovel and blasting powder the Bm geologist goes down in the earth and Mf says , "The first thing created in the Btj ) furnishing of the earth -was the plants. " Hfj ! Moses says , "Ay ! I told you that in PHBv the Book of Genesis : 'The earth MLJ * brought fourth grass and herb , yield- Bfri ing seed after his kind , and the tree B | yielding fruit. ' " The geologist goes Byj on digging in the earth , and says , HHjjr "The next thing in the furnishing of Fj'j tlie earth was the making of the crea- S' ] : < \ tures of the sea. " Moses says , "Ay ! Hb/ told you that was next in the Book E tj of Genesis : 'God said , Let the waters E' ' { ibring forth abundantly the moving H Bii creatures that have life ; and God Hp I created great whales. ' " The geologist B | sees on digging , and says , "The next H J/ / thing in the furnishing of the earth B7i Tvas the creation of the cattle and the fl Br 1 reptiles and the beasts of the field. " TjBJB , ] "Ay ! " says Moses , "I told you that was Bfl . I next in the first chapter of Genesis : K 1 'And God said , Let the earth bring Hb Ij forth the living creature after his kind , P \ cattle , and creeping thing , and beast HB jji " of the earth after his kind. ' " The Bl jl geologist goes on digging in the earth , Bfe ( and says , "The next creature was the H ' ) human family. "Ay ! " says Moses , "I H , ] ' told you that was next in the Book of BBt j Genesis : 'So God created man in his BB i own image , in the image of God H | A created hp hirr-z Tnni ° and female. B * [ created he thpm. ' " Those prejudiced H j against the Bible do not know that the B explorations in Egypt and Palestine B and Syria are confirming the Scrip- BS j " tures , the same facts written on BA j | monuments and on walls of exhumed Bp W cities as written in the Bible. The Lj \ . city of Fithom has been unburied , and Yffl W ' its bricks are found to have been made Fj -without straw , exactly corresponding WM j -with the Bible story of the persecuted H ' - \ r Hebrews. On terra cotta cylinder re- H If * • cently brought up from thousands of H f years of burial , the capture of Babylon H e iy Cyrus is told. On a Babylonian j gem recently found are the figures of a H | $ ? & > a man , -woman , an " a seroent , P I i ii i and the handg of the man and woman are stretched up toward the tree as if to pluck the fruit. Thus the Bible story of the Fall is confirmed. ' In a museum at Constantinople you see a piece of the wall that once in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem sep arated the court of the Gentile3 and the court of the Israelites , to which Paul refers when he says of Christ , "He , is our peace , who hath broken down the middle wall of partition be tween r.3. " On tablets recently dis covered have been found the names of prominent men of the Bible , spelled a little different , according to the de mands of ancient language. "Adamu" for Adam , "Abramn" for Abraham , "Ablu" for Abel , and so on. Twenty- two feet under ground has been found a seal inscribed with the words "Hag- gai , son of Shebaniah , " thousands of year3 ago cut , showing that the Pro phet Haggai , who wrote a part of the Bible , was not a myth. The Royal Engineers have found , eighty feet be low the surface of the ground at Jeru salem , Phoenician pottery and hewn stones with inscriptions , showing that they were furnished by Hiram , King of Tyre , just as the Bible says they were. The great names of Bible his tory , that many suppose are names of imaginary beings , are found cut into imperishable stones which have within a few years been rolled up from their entombment of ages , such as Sen nacherib and Tiglath-Pileser. On the edge of a bronzed step , and on burned brick has been found the name of Ne buchadnezzar. Henry Rawlinson and Oppert and Hincks , and Palestine ex ploration societies , and Asyriologists , and Egyptologists , have rolled another Bible up from the depths of the earth , and lo ! it corresponds exactly with our Bible , the rock Bible just like the printed Bible , inscriptions on cylinders and brick-work cut thirty-eight hun dred years before Chris.t testifying to the truth of what we read eighteen hundred and ninety-seven years after Christ. The story of the Tower of Babel has been confirmed by the fact that recently at Babel an oblong pile of brick one hundred and ten feet high evidences the remains of a fallen tower. In the Inspired Book of Ezra we read of the great and noble Asnapper , a name that meant nothing especial , un til recently , in pried-up Egyptian sculp ture , we have the story there told of him as a great hunter as well as a great warrior. What I say now is news to those prejudiced against the Bible. They are so far behind the times that they know not that the Old Book is being proved true by the prying eye of the antiquarian and the ringing hammer of the archaeologist and the plunging crowbar of the geolo gist. No more is infidelity character ized by its blasphemy than by its ig norance , but oh ! what a high moun tain of prejudice against the Bible , against Christianity , against churches , against all evangelizing enterprises a mountain that casts its long , black shadows over this continent and over all continents. Geographers tell us that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. Oh , no ! The mountain of prejudice against Chris tianity is higher than the highest crags that dare the lightnings of heaven. Before our Zerubbabel can it ever become a plain ? Yonder also is the Mountain of Crime , with its strata of fraud , and malpractice , and malfeasance , and blackmail , and burglary , and piracy , and embezzlement , and libertinism , and theft , all its heights manned with the desperadoes , the cut-throats , the pick-pockets , the thimble-riggers , the plunderers , the marauders , the pillag ers , the corsairs , the wreckers , the bandits , the tricksters , the forgers , the • thugs , the garotters , the fire-fiends , the dynamiters , the shoplifters , the klepto maniacs , the pyromaniacs , the dip somaniacs , the smugglers , the kidnap pers , the Jack Sheppards , the Robert Macaires , and the Macbeths of vilainy. The crimes of the world ! Am I not right in calling them , when piled up together , a mountain ? But we cannot bring ourselves to appreciate great heights except by comparison. You think of Mount Washington as high , especially those of you who ascended as of old , on muleback , or more re cently by rail-train , to the Tip Top House. Oh , no ! That is not high ! For it is only about six thousand feet , whereas , rising on this western hem isphere are Chimborazo , twenty-one thousand feet high , and Mount Sa- hama , twenty-three thousand feet high , and Mount Sarota , twenty-four thou sand eight hundred feet high. But that is not the highest mountain on the western hemisphere. The highest mountain is the Mountain of Crime , and is it possible that this mountain , before our Zerubbabel , can ever be made a plain ? There is also the Mountain of War , the most volcanic of all mountains , the Vesuvius which , not content , like the Vesuvius of Italy , with whelming two cities , Hernulaneum and Pompeii , has covered with its fiery scoria thou sands of cities and would like to whelm all the cities of both hemispheres. Give this mountain full utterance , and it would cover up Washington and New York and London as easily as a house holder , with his shovel , at ten o'clock at night banks a grate fire with ashes. This mountain is a pile of fortresses , barricades , and armories , the world's artillery heaped , wheels above wheels , columbiads above columbiads , seventy- four pounders above seventy-four pounders , wrecked nations above wrecked nations. This Mountain of War is not only loaded to cannonade the earth , but it is also a cemetery , holding the corpses of thirty million slain in the wars of Alexander and Cyrus , sixty million slain "in Roman wars , one hundred and eighty million slain in war with Turks and Saracens , and holding about thirty-five billion corpses , not million but billion. "What a hissing , bellowing , tumb ling , soaring force is Kilauea ! Lake of unquenchable fire : convolutions and paroxysms of flame : elements of na ture in torture : torridity and luridity : conjrecation of dreads : molten horrors rors : sulphurous abysms : swirling mystery cf all time : infinite turbu lence : chimney of r-s ' ! tion : wallow ing terrorsfiftct.i rcrcs of threats : g' .cons insufferall ? and Dantesque : cauldron stirred by the champion witch of Fandemonium : camp-fire of the armies of Diabolus : wrath of the moun tains in full bloom : shimmering in candescence : pyrotechnics of the planet : furnace-blast of the ages : Kilauea ! " But , my friends , mightier , higher , vaster , hotter , more raging is the volcanic Mountain of War. It has been blazing for hundreds of years , and will keep on blazing until , until , but I dare not hazard a prophecy. Can it be that its fires will ever be put out ? Can it be that its roar will ever be silenced ? Can it be that before our Zerubbabel that blazing mountain will ever become a plain ? Sometimes a general begins a battle before he is ready , because the enemy forces it on him. The general says , "The enemy are pushing us , and so I open battle. We are not sufficient to cope with them , but I hope the re serve forces will come up in time. " The battle rages , and the general looks through his field glass at the troops , but ever and anon he sweeps his field- glass backward and upward toward the hill , to see if the reserve forces are coming. "Hard pushed are we ! " says the general. "I do wish those rein forcements would come up. " After awhile the columns of the advancing cavalry are seen tossing on the ridge of the hill , and then the flash of swords , and then the long lines of mounted troops , their horses in full gallop , and the general says , "All is well. Hold out. my men , a little longer. Let the sergeants ride along the lines and cheer the men and tell them reinforcements are coming. " And now the rumbling of the batteries and gun-carriages is dis tinctly heard , and soon they are in line , and at the first roar of the newly- arrived artillery the enemy , a little while before so jubilant , fall back in wild retreat , their way strewn with canteens and knapsacks and ammuni tion , that the defeated may be unhind ered in their flight. That is just the way now. In this great battle against sin and crime and moral death the ene my seem too much for us. More grog shops than churches. More bad men than good men , and they come up with bravado and the force of great num bers. They have opened battle upon us before we are , in our own strength , ready to meet them , and great are the discouragements. But steady , there ! Hold on ! Reinforcements are coming. Through the glass of inspiration I look , and see the flash of the sword of "him who hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written King of kings and Lord of lords. " All heaven is . on our side and is coming to the rescue. I hear the rumbling of the King's artillery , louder than any thun der that ever shook the earth , and with every roll of the ponderous wheels our courage augments , and when these re inforcements from heaven get into line with the forces of God already on earth , all the armies of unrighteous ness will see that their hour of doom has come , and will waver and fall back and take flight and nothing be left of them save here and there , strewn by the ; vayside , an agnostic's pen or a broken decanter or a torn playbill of a debasing amusement or a blasphem ous paragraph , or a leper's scale , or a dragon's tooth , to show they ever ex isted. Let there be cheering all along the lines of Christian workers , over the fact that what the shovels fail to do will he accomplished by the thunderbolts der-bolts "Who art thou , O great mountain ? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain. " The mountains look on Marathon , And Marathon looks on the sea , Shrine of the mighty can it be That this is all remains of thee ! IIow Dr. Holmes Joined the Bohemian Club of San FrancUco. Years and years ago when the Bo hemian club of San Francisco was in its infancy , there was a "Jinks. " Now , a Jinks , especially a Jinks in a Bohemian club , is not conducted on strictly temperance principles. This one was no exception to the rule. Tommy Newcomb was president of the Bohemian club in those days , and under his supervision the reins of discipline were drawn but laxly. The subject of the Jinks was the then famous Protessors at the Breakfast Table. One member recited "Old Ironsides , "and a moment later another capped it with "The Height of the Ridiculous. " The ' • Chambered Nau tilus" was followed by "The One-hoss Shay. " ' And so it went until some spirit bolder than the rest indited a telegram to the good , gray poet of Boston , informing him of his election to the Bohemian club , with all privil eges appertaining thereunto , and sent it before the more sober members could protest. Now , Boston is three hours nearer the rising- sun than San Francisco. The telegram had scarce left the club rooms before some mathematically inclined member had discovered that it would be midnight or later ere the New England doctor and poet would : receive his notification of election. Judge the astonishment of the rol licking Bohemian crew when a uni formed messenger of the telegraph company ran up the steps with the following message and askf.d : "Is dere any answer ? " Message from Saa Francisco TVhisper low , Asleep in bed an ho'jr or more azo While on his peaceful pillow he reclines , Say to his friend who seat th93e lorin' liaoi : ' • Silent. unanswerinT , still to frienJihip trae. He smiles in slumber , for he dreams o * yoa. " Oliver Wekdell Holmes. And thus was Holmes made a mem ber of the Bohemian club. 1TIIAT A STtXl'CNDOL'S lAVl j We hear a farmer say when he reads | that John Breider , Mlshlcott , Wis. .

Higginson in his reminis cences in the January Atlantic speaks of an interesting coincidence. It was often his habit to read far into the night ; and sitting up until four one morning' , lie left his book mark at an unfinished page , having to return the book to the college library. A year later * he happened to take the book from the library again , chanced to get up at four o'clock to read , and began where he left off. Afterward looking in his diary he found that he had skipped a precise year between the two days and continued reading the same passage. 2few Lin j to Washington.
