spent.
A new book bj Sir Walter Scott is n phe
nomenal llteraiy sensation. The private
Journal of tlic gicat poet nnd iio\elist , ewer-
ing tlio last sc\cn je.irs of his life , is now
Hist published fiuiu the oilgiuul manuseiipt.
Manifestly the le.isoii for so long n. cMny In
tlio publication of n book tliiit tlio world would
li.ivo welcomed at any time is foil nil in the
nitutc of its contents. It deals frankly
with in my of his contemporaries
and with names that have but recently
pissed away , and could not properly sco
pi hit until the list of these mentioned lulls
p.iges hnil gone to join Scott in thu ranks of
thu silent majoilty.
The woik is full of gossipy details of the
pleasant homo llfo of the author , of his llttlo
tiips about the country and abro-ul , of his
meetings with famous contoinporaiies nnd of
llii-Ir conversations. Byioii , Campbell. Tom
Mooie , Shciidan und others pass in review
ns Kcolt saw them in the last days of his life.
Wo have charming descriptions of thorn , in
w h Ich the unt nor seeks muliily to exhibit their
good points and show that they were ns
agrc'cablo fellows us great writers. But It Is
the recoid of Scott's own llfo that Is chielly
Intcicsting. IIcio , for instance , is a glimpse
of his titulary methods :
' Febniaiv 12 IIning ended the second
volume of'Woodstock'last night , I hnvo to
begin thu tliitil this morning. jNow I have
not thc slightest Idea how the stor. } Is to La
w ound up to a utustiophc. I am Just in the
same case as I used to bo when I lost injself
In foiincrdays in some countiy to which I
was astiangt'r. I nhvnjs pushed for the
pleasantest load , and cither , found or undo
It the no.uvrU. It Is the satno in
writing. 1 ne\er could lay down
a plan or , ha\ing laid It down , 1
novet could adhere : to it ; the action of compo
sition alwavs diluted some passages nnd
abildticci or omitted others ; and personages
weioiendeied Important or inslgiiitle.iitnot
accouhngto their agency In the original con
ception of the plan , but according to the suc
cess , or otherwise , with which I was able to
bring them out i only tiled to m.iko that
which I was actually wilting Hi veiling and
Interesting , lew ing the rest to fa to. I li.ivo
he-en often amused with the ciitics
distinguishing soipo passages ns par-
ticnhrly labored , when tlio poii
passed o\or the whole as fast ns it
could mo\o , and the o\o never ngilu saw
them , except In proof. Verse 1 vulto twice
and sometime * tlneo times over. It is a
perilous style , I grant , bull cannot help it.
\Vlicn I chain my mind to ideas wiilch are
puielv imaginative foraiguinent Is a differ
ent thing it seems to mo that the sun leaves
the landscape , that I think away the uholo
vivacity and spirit of my original conception ,
und that the icsults nro cold , tame anil spirit
less. It is the dltVeienco between the wiitten
oration and one bursting from the unpremedi
tated cxcitlons of the speaker , which have
aUx.ijs something of the air of enthusiasm
and inspiration. I would not IKUO young
authors Imitate my carelessness , however. "
In this extract from a letter of his published ,
James Bullamjno shows how light an esti
mate Scott placed on his own work ;
"Sir Walter nt all times labored under the
stiangest delusion us to the ineiits of his own
works. On this seoio ho was not only Inuo-
cesslblo to compliments , buto\cn insensible
to the until ; in fact , at nil times ho haled to
talk of any of his productions : as. for in
stance , ho prcatly proferiod Mr. Shelley's
'Fiankenstoin' to nny of his own lomances. I
reinombci ono day. when Mr , Ersklno and I
were dining \\ltk mm , either Immediate. ) ' be-
foioor immediately after the publication of
ono of the best of the latter , and MPIO ghing
it the high prulso wo thought It deserved , Uo
asUed us abruptly whether wo had read
'Frankenstein. ' Wo answered that , wo had
not. 'Ah , ' ho said , 'havo piticneo , loud
"Frankenstein , " and vou will bo better able
tojudgeof . ' Vou will easily Judge of the
disappointment thus prepared for us. When
I ventured , as 1 somcilinos did. to press him
ou the score of the reputation no had gained ,
ho merely asked , ns If ho determined to bo
done with the discussion. "Why , what is
the value of a leputation which probably will
not last above oi.o or two generations { ' Ono
inoininir , I recollect , I vent Into his library ,
shottly after the publication of the "Lady of
the LuUe , " and llndlnp Miss Scott there , wno
was then a very joung girl. I asked her ,
' \Vcll , Miss Sophia , how do you like the
"Lady of the Lake , " with which everybod )
Is so much enchanted)1 ) Her answer was ,
with affecting simplicity , 'Oh , 1 have not
read it. 1'apasajs there's nothing to bad
for joung girls as reading bad pnctiy. ' "
And jet , such was Scott's thrift , that ho
wioto a review of ono of his own w orlts nnd
compared "its mysterious autuor" to Shakes-
pcaiol
An interesting passage Is that in which ho
discusses his \Uiwsof God and the hereafter
in a devout and eloquent strain. The patnos
in the A oliimo la reached when ho comes to
deal with the question of his bankruptcy ,
and the brae attempts to extricate Himself
from his debts. This was the end of the
memorable experiment of his attempt to bo
tuo publisher of his own woiks , and It
brought his llfo to a close In disappoint
ment. The book Is ono of these
rare mid dunning works which
is not so much the pioeluct as the Incident of
auto of genius , and it will bo laid away in
the corner of the book eiiso CbOi\ed for the
most precious volumes.

"Iowa Crank ? or the Bounties of Prohibi
tion , " is u political novel by K. H. Chapin
and one nhlch possesses a very urficnt pres
ent Interest for Ioan' ? . The people of Ne
braska have now only n retrospective inter
est in the subject , anil yet they c.in re.ul the
bok with inoro genuine pleasure than imy
other people , because it vividly Illus
trates an e\il that thfy have escaped.
The book is nbborblnglv Interesting from the
llrst P.IRO to the last. In a litcwrj style
that would lend a charm to any subject , it
exposes the molting features of prohibition ,
the heartless sytttcm of bluckmnil practiced
by special constables ou search waiiants , the
nioiiil fien/'y of clergymen and tcmpciancu
ngitntois who have created the publio senti
ment to sustain it , the lawlessness
th.it has blighted the business interests
of lowu and icdiiced the overwhelming re
publican sentiment of tlio state to a minoiity.
Thcio could bo no inoro convincing argument
on the cUlbof prohibition than this \lvid
historical novel of Mr. Chnpln's. It has a
wide Held of usefulness still beioie It in the
foui states where the evil yet exists

CHUISrS tKCO.ND COMING.
The Time Not Far Ilonco nnd All
Should lie Heady.
The following sermon was preached
by Uov. Charles - \V. Savldgo at the
Newman M. U church last Sunday o\cniiig ,
No\ ember J3 ! The subject is "Tho Second
Coming of Christ. "
A very largo congregation listened to the
sermon and a score of people have asked for
its publication.
Acts 1:11. "This s.imo Jesus which is
taKcn up from vou Intoheincn. shall so come
in like innnucr as yo have seen him go into
heaven. "
' 1 bis subject is not often preached In the
Methodist Kplscopul church. Mr. Moody
sajs that ho w.w in the
church fifteen jears before ho heard a
seimon on the second coming. AH of our
churches make a good deal of baptism , but In
allot 1'aul's epistles baptism is spoken of
only thli teen times , \\hlle they speak of our
Lord's return fifty times. ct the chinch
generally has vcr > llttlo to sav on this ques
tion. A celebrated Chtistian in this country
sajs that the devil does not want the chinch
tonuko up and see this truth. For the
\\orld loses its giip on the man who beUo\cs
that Jesus is coining back to this world to receive -
ceivo his followers.
Ou this subject of the coming of Christ ,
let the word be our supreme authoi ity : "Tho
bceiet things belong unto the Lord our God ;
bjt these things wnicli nro revealed belong
unto us and to ourchldrcn forever. "
I'irstof all , wo see by the woul that Jesus
is coming back ngnin to this world. Stiaugo
to say , some doubt this. Dr. Curiloof my
own church believed that the coming of
Jesus was nothing more than the spiritual
presence of Christ as manifested to his faith
ful ones in grace and power. Otheis would
have ns believe that * Jesus comes in the im-
ipovonicnts of thoagc , as the sewing machine
und the steam engine.
A few years ago n mm got up In ray pulpit
in this city and preached that sort of doc-
tilno to my people. I could hardly kcop still.
Others tell us that Christ comes at conver
sion and that Ho comes nt death. But the
plain statements ol , the \void of God on this
point are a sunielent answer to these objec
tions , lie Himself said Ho would coma
again .lohn xlv.ti "I will como again und
recolvo you unto Myself. "
The angels Mildliowouldeomo Acts i , H :
"This tuuno Jesus hlch is taken up fioin
you into heaven , shrill so come in llko manner
as yo liuvo seen Hini'go Into hea\en. "
The Holy Splrlti spoke this truth through
the apostles Titus nil. 1U ! "Looking lor
that blessed hope , and the glorious appealing
of the great God uad our Savior Jesus
Chi ist. "
Nearly a hundred ( other passages might bo
quoted. i
In"tho second pluco wo would speak of the
tiino of His comliiir.
Wo do not know the exact time of his
coining Maik xlll. ' , ' S3. "But of that day
and that hour knoweth no man ; no , not the
angels which are | u heaven , neither the Son ,
but the Father , " In the face of this
scripture is it not strantro that any person
has over been found \\bo will set
the time when the Sa\lor shall come !
Hut thcro have been many such , Howo\er ,
I am fully convinced that the tine of Christ's
second coming is near at bund ; and I can
give my reasons for this. The piopheslos , so
far as I can road , cither have boon , or am bo-
Inir , rapidly fulfilled. See Joel II , , 2SJ. . On
May 10 , 17sO , the sun was darkened. At noon
persons could not road without a light. The
iegislatuio of Connecticut being in session ,
had to adjourn. The fowls went to roost aud
the night hawks came out , oveiythhig was
shrouded in the ploom of night. NoaU Web
ster has called this "thn dark day. "
The stars fell on November la , 1811. Pro
fessor Olinstc.ul , the celebrated astronomer
of Vale college says : "Those who wore so
fortunate ns to witness the exhibition of
shooting stars on the morning of November
13 , 18)J ) , probably smv the greatest display of
celestial ilroworks that has over bccu since
the creation of the \voild. "
Another sign of the cad U wonderful storms

by sea and land. See Lulto xxi , 25-20. Such
cclones and storms in almost all pints of the
\\orldhavoneverbecn cxpciienced beforo.
Men's hearts aio failing them fcr fear , and in
many placci they ate digging caves to hide
in f 10111 the storms.
Daniel in his twelfth chapter and fourth
crso speaks of another characteristic ot this
time : "Many shall run to und Ire and
knowledge shall bo Inci cased , "
This is a time of raplutinnsit Nclllo Bly
tilps atound the world in a few da > s and old
George Francis Train flies after her. Today
is also maikcd ns a tinio of great light and
knowledge , justns Daniel foretells.
Again , the present condition of the church
is exactly the condition foretold in the bible :
It. Timothy ill. , 1-5. SoaalsoTf. Thco. II. , .
But my great argument for the tiino being
near is this : The gospel has been preached
to all nations.
Matt , xxlv. , 14 : "And this gospel of the
kingdom shall bo pre.ichcd in nil the world
for a witness unto all nations : and then shall
the end como. "
This woud Is not to bo converted , but will
grow worse and worio Sco Lukoxviii , 8 :
"When the Son of Mnn coinoth shall Ho
flud faith on the earth I" See nlbO I. Tim.
lv. , l-.lII. ; Tim Hi , Ml. This world will
prow so wicked that there will llnally bo a
supaiatlon. Hoe Matt , xxiv. , 10-H : 'Two
shall bo in the Held : the ono shall
bo taken , and the other loft. Two women
shall ho Blinding at the mill ; the ono shall
bo taken the other left. "
.Now I hold I hit the gospel has been
preached to all nations. Newm.in Hall s.iys ,
"in all i-o lous of the earth tlio gospel has
been nrciuhcd. "
Tlio light of God's truth commenced in
Asia. Steadily it lias been making its course
westward till it h is gone around the world
Asia Had It iltit ; then Africa stretched out
her hand to God ; then Giceco nnd Italy wo.ro
lightened up by tlio labors of Paul and his
successors , nnd the heart of Eiuopo was
moved by the gloat reformation in the days
of Luther. This Rospcl has came to our
shore , and now made Its way tmlto across the
continent ; vca. among nil tno Islands of the
Pncillc , tbis light is shining cloaily. The
globohas been gn died , and all the nations
have hcaid
Wo notice now the purpose of His coining.
Ho will como the lirst thuo for His people.
Sco Islah Ixv ; Mailcxlil , ' 'IW7. Uhiist U
coining lirst of all for his true bollovoi-s , Ills
chyirch , which ho calls His hrldo. See I
Thussalonliins , i1017. . Dean Alford says ,
Christ at His coming will firat of all deliver
His chinch. Hebrews ix , 123 : "And unto
them that look for Him shill Ho appear
the second time without sin unto salvation. "
This llrst tl mo he will como us a thief in
the night nnd the liKlitcom dead
shall arise and go with the ilghtcous quicker
or living , with. lesusand bo with him fousvor.
See Matthew 21-4'i' I Tbcssiilonians iv , 10-17-
The other day I read a dream which Illus
trates this point. Tlio man urenmcd tint on
awakening in the morning ho was much sur
prised to ilnd tnat his wlfo was missing His
daughter was gene bat his sou was there , but
much disturbed.
On going into his daughter's room ho found
her bible open nt tlio wotds , "Ilo yo also
icady for hi such an hour as ve think nottho
Son of Man comoth. " Ho called on his wife's
sistcii. They were good rospeotiblo CJluls-
tian people. Her black servant was gone.
Slia was all light when they returned trom
tbolrcuchro partv tlio night bofoto and the
door was still locked The milk man did not
appear ; ho was gene ( some follow probably
who did not water tlio milk ) . This state of
things happened all over the city. Places of
business were closed and all thu people wcro
In a commotion. In the evening the pcoplo
llockod to the chuichoj ; all order was dis
pensed with aud noisy confusion piuvatlcd ,
Many of , the preachers wcto still on the
ground nnd ono of thorn rose to spo.ik , Ho
confessed his sin of not warning the pcoplo of
Christ's coming but bald they were still In a
place of hope. Hero a chorus of voices shout
ed -'Thank Oed for thatl" The preacher
siid wo shall have to pass through gioat
trials and tiibulatlons , but ho that on-
duieth to the end the same shall bo saved.
Ilo aw olio from his dream nnd and resolved
to bo ready to moot the bildegroom.
The second tltno Jesus will como for Judg-
'ment.
CScoII. Thes , 1. , 7-8-t : ; Kov. I. , 7 ; Judo. I. ,
11-15 ; Kov. vl. , 14-17. God help you to bo
ready for that coining.
As to tbo manner of his coming : The
Mr-it lime It will bo as a thlof In the night.
The second time every ojo shall sco him.
In conclusion sav bo ready , Mut. 'Jl-U.
