buildings of modern time aro only tho ovl
denco of her fall. The site having boon so
tocted for tho city, two million mon wero em
ployed In tho rearing of hor walls and tht
building of her works. It was a city sixty
miles In circumference. Thoro was n trench
all around tho city from which tho material
tor tho building of tho city hnd been digged.
Thero wcro twority-flve gates on each slds
Mm city; between ovory two gates a tower of
defenso springing into tho sklos; from each
mte on tho ono sldo, a street running straight
arougu to tno corresponding goto on tho
other sldo, so thero woro fifty streets fifteen
miles long. Through tho city ran a branch
of tho River Euphrates. This river some
times overflowed its banks, and to keep It
from tho ruin of tho city a lako was con
structed, into which tho surplus wntcr of this
river would run during tho tlmo of fnahots,
and tho water was kept iu this artificial lako
until tlmo of drought, and tlion this water
would stream down over tho city. At cither
end of tho brldgo spanning this EnphrnU
thero was a pulaco tho ono wilaco a mllo
and n half around, tho other pnlaco seven
and a half miles around.
Tho wlfoof Nebuchadnezzar had been born
and brought up In tho country and In a
mountainous region, mid sho could not ixsar
this flat district of Babylon j and so, to pleaso
his wlfo, Nobuchndnozzar built In tho midst
of tho city a mountain 400 feet high. This
mountain was built out into terraces sup
ported on arches. On tho top of thoso arches
layer of flat stones; on tho top of that a
layer or roods ana bitumen; on tho top of
that two layers of bricks, closely cemented;
on tho top of that a heavy sheet of lead, and
on tho top of that tho soil placed tho soil so
deep that a Lebanon cedar hnd room to an
chor Its roots. Thoro wcro pumps worked by
jnlghty machinery, fetching up tho water
from tho Euphrates to this hanging garden,

Thero was In that tcmplo an Imago, Jmt on

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES.
O what a city I Tho earth novcr saw any
thing llko it, novor Will sco anything liko it.
And yet I havo to loll you that It is going to
be destroyed. Tho king and his princes are
at a feast They arc- nil IntoxIcaUxl. Pour
out tho rich wlno Into hn chalices. Drink to
the health of tho king. Drink to tho glory
of Babylon. Drink to a great future,
A thousand lords reel intoxicated. The
king, seated upon a chair, with vacant look,
u Intoxicated men will with vacant look
tared at tho wall. But soon that vacant
look takes on Intensity, and It Is an affrighted
look; and all tho princes begin to look and
wonder what Is tho matter, and thoy look at
the samo point on tho wall. And then there
drops a darkness Into tho room and puts out
the blazo of tho golden plate, and out of the
gleovo of tho darkness there comes a finger
ftger of fiery terror circling around and
circling around as though It would wrlto;
and then It comes up and with sharp tip of
flame it inscribes on tho plastering of the
wall tho doom of the king: "Weighed In the
balances and found wanting." Tho bang
of heavy fists against tho gates of tho pal
ace nre followed by tho breaking In of the
doors. A thousand gleaming knives strilte
Into a thousand quivering hearts. Now
Death Is king, and ho Is seated on a throno of
corpses. In that hall there Is a balanco lifted.
God swung it. On one sldo of tho balance
are put Belshozzar's opportunities, on the
Other sldo of tho balanco aro put Belshozzar's
sins. Tho slnscomo down. Ills opportuni
ties go up. Weighed in tho balances found
wanting.
Thero has boon a great deal of cheating In
oar copntry with falso wolghts and measures
and balances, and tho government, to
changothatstatoof things, appointed com
missioners whoho business it was to stamp
weights and measures and balances, and a
great deal of tho wroug has been corrected.
But still, after all, thero Is no such thing as a
perfect lialanco on earth. Tho chain may
break or somo of tho motal may bo clipped,
or In somo way tho oqulpoiso may bo a littlo
dlsturlxxl.
OOD'B BALANCES AIIE ACCCHATE.
You cannot always depend njion earthly
balances. A pound Is not always a pound,
and you pay for ono thing and you got an
other; but in tho balanco which is suspended
to the throne of God, a pound is a pound, and
right Is right, and wrong is wrong, and a
soul Is a boul, and otornlty Is eternity. Qod
has a perfect bushel and a perfect peck and a
perfect gallon. When merchants weigh their
goods in tho wrong way, then the Lord
weighs tho goods again. If from tho Imper
fect measuro tho merchant pours out what
pretends to bo n gallon of oil and thoro Is less
ban a gallon, God knows it, and ho calls
upon bis recording angel to mark it: "Bo
much wanting In that measuro of oil.'' The
farmer comes In from the country. Ho has
apples to sell. IIo has an Iraporf ect measuro.
Be pours out tho apples from this Imperfect
measure God recognizes it, lie says to tho
recording angel: "Mark down so many
apples too few an imperfect measuro."
We may cheat ourselves anil wo may choat
the world, but wo cannot cheat God, and In
the great day of Judgment it will bo found
out that what wo learned in boyhood, at
school, is correct: that twenty hundred
weight mako u ton, and one hundred and
twenty solid feet mako a cord of wood. No
more, no less. And a religion which does
Dot toko hold of this life as well as tho llfo to
eomo Is no religion at all. But, my friends,
that Is not tho kind of balances I am to spoak
of today, that Is not tho klud of weights and
measures I am to speak of that kind of bal
ances which can weigh principles, weigh
churches, weigh men, weigh nations, and
weigh worlds. "Whatl" you say, "Is it is
idble that our world Is to bo weighed r Yes,
Why, you would think If God jmt on ono

God w 111 weigh churchiM. IIo takes a great
church. That grout church, according to tho
worldly estimate, must lw weighed. IIo puts
It on ono ride tho balances, mid tho minister
and tho choir mid tho building that cost Iu
hundreds of thousands of dollars. IIo puts
them on ono sldo tho balances. On tho other
sldo of that w.ilo ho puts what that church

That Is on ono fclda. That sldo comos clown,

ought to deal with subjects r.i tho abstract. I

no. IIo loads tho gun, ho puts tho butt of it
against tho breast, ho runs his oyo along the
barrel, bo takes suro aim, and then crash go
the antlers on tho rocks. And so, If wo want
to bo hunters for tho Lord, wo must tako
suro aim and lire. Not Iu tho abstract aro
we to treat things in religious discussions. If
a physician comos Into n sick room docs ho

volunteers. Ifo Is ono of tho most Upright
men In tho country, no comos. Well, my
brother, get In get Into tho balances now,
nnd bo weighed. But as ho gets Into tho
balances, I say: "What Is that bundle you
havo along with youP "Ob," ho Bays, "that
Is my reputation for goodness, and kindness,
and charltj.and generosity, and kindliness
generally. " "0 my brother! wo cannot
wolgh that; wo aro going to weigh you
you. Now, stand h tho soalen yon, the
moralist. Paid your debtsf "Yds," you
say, "pakl all my debta." "navo you acted

"Yes, yes." "Havo you boon kind to tho

But now, beforo yon get out of this scale, I
want to ask you two or throo questions,
navo your thoughts always Iweii rlghtl"
"No," you say, "no." Put down ono mark.
"Havo you loved the Lord with all your
heart, and soul, and mind, and strength I"
"No," you say. Mako another mark. "Como
now, bo frank, and confess that In ton thou
sand things you havo como short havo you
notr "Yes." Mako ten thousand marks.
Como now, get mo a took largo enough to
mako tho record of that moralist's deficits.
My brother, stand In tho scales, do not lly
away from them. I put on your sldo the
scales all the good doeds you over did, all tho
kind words you ovcrutterod; buton tho othor
sldo tho scales I put this weight, which God
says I must put thoro on tho other sldo tho
scales aud oppcaito to yours I put this weight:
"By tho doeds of the law shall no flesh living

Still, tho balances of tho sanctuary aro sus

come. Who shall bo tho noxtl Well, hero Is
a formalist. Ho comes nnd ho gots into the
balances, aud as ho gots iu I sue that all bis
religion is lir gonulluxlons aud In outward ob
servances. As ho gets into tho scales I say;
"What Is that you havo In this pockott"
"Oh," ho says, "that is Westminster Assem

havo you In that othor pockotl" "Oh," ho
says, "that Is tho Heidelberg Catechism."
"Very good. What is that you havo under
your arm, standing In this bulunco of the
sanctuary" "Oh," ho says, "that is a church
record." "Very good. What aro all these
books on your sldo tho balances!" "Oh," he
says, "thoso aro 'Calvin's Institutes.' " "My
brother, wo nro not weighing books; wo are
weighing you. It cannot bo that you aro de

You certainly aro not going to mlstako tho

tho man, "I cross myself often." "Ahl that

am sympathetic for tho poor." "That will

and I will glvo you tho odvantngo I will lot

0 follower of Christ, you got Into tho bal

You must get into tho balances. You got In

wo will plnco nil tho opportunities of good

but which you refusal to take. Wo plnco

and your soul rises in tlio scnlo. You cannot

Well, then, wo must givo you tho advan

placo all tho good doeds you havo over done,
and all tho kind words you havo over uttered.
Too light yotl Well, wo must put on your

Thoy como nnd thoy got In tho scales. Too

1 put on this sldo tlio balances all tho scep

Thou ho puts Iwth of his scarred foot on the

But, says tho Christian, "Am I to bo allow
