I which are not of this fold." McDonald, tho Scotchman, has on tho Scotch hills a ureal (lock of Hheep. Mo Donald hius four or live thousand head of nlicop. Some are hrowtdng In tho heather, Mitmo lire on tho hills, some are In thu val leys, a few nro lu tho yard. Onu day Cam eron roiues over to MoDunald ami says: "McDonald, you have thirty Hheep. I hnvo lieen counting tliom." "Oh, nut" wiyn Mo Donald. "I hnvu four or live thousand." "Alii" nnH Caincnin, "you iiru mlstakou. I hnvo Just counted them, Thoro aro thirty." "Why," miyit McDoimld, "do you suppose that Is nil thu sheep I havof I havo sheep on tho dUtant hill and lu tho valleys, ranging and roaming ovory whoro. Other Hheep hnvo I which nro not of this fold." 80 Christ comes. Hero Is a group of Christians, and thcro is a group of Chris tians; hero (s n Mothodlst fold, hero Is n Presbyterian fold, hero Is n lluptist fold, hero Is a Lutheran fold, nnd wo make our annual statistics, nnd wo think wo can tell you just how many Christians thcro nro in thu world, how many thoro nro In tho church, how many In all thoso denom inations. Vo nggreguto them, nnd wo think wo uru giving an IntolllKout ami an accurate account; hut Christ comes and he says: "You hnvo not counted them right. Thoro nro thoso whom you hnvo never seen, thoso of whom you have uuvor heard. I hnvo my children in all parts of the earth, on all tho Islands of tho sen, on all the continents, In nil tho mountains ami In all tho valleys. Do you think that these few sheep you have counted aro all the sheep I haver Thoro Is a great multi tude that no man can number. Other sheep have I which are not of this fold." TilOU ALL t'AKTS OF THK KAKTII. Christ III tny text talks of tho conversion ot the Gentiles as confidently as though they had already been converted. Ho seta forth the idea that his people will come from all part of tho earth, from all ages, from all circumstances, f rum all condi tions. "Other sheep have I which aro not ot this fold." In the first place I remark the Heavenly Shepherd ' will II nil many of his sheep among those who are at present non churchgoers. There are dllferent kinds of churches. Sometimes you will find a church mode up only of Christians. Kvury thing seems Mulshed. Tho church reminds you ot thoso skeleton plants from which by chemical nreiinratlon all the greenness and the verdure have been taken, nnd they are cold mid white and delicate and lieau tlful and finished. All that U' wanted Is a glims case put over thorn. Tho minister on tho Sabbath has only to take an ostrich feather nnd brush oft thu dust that has ac cumulated in the last six days ot business, and then they are as cold and beautiful and delicate its before. Everything Is lln Ished finished sermons, finished music, finished architecture, finished everything. Another church Is like an armory, tho sound ot drum aud life calling more re cruits to the Lord's army. Wo say to tho applicants, "Como in nnd get your equip ment. Here is the bath In which you nro to be cleansed, hero Is tho helmet you nro to put 011 your head, hero am the sandals you nro to put on your feet, here is tho breastplate you nro to put over your heart, hero is tho sword you aro to takelu your right hand and light his battle with, Quit yourselves like men." There are those hurt, perhaps, who say, "It is now ten, lifted! years since I was in the habit, tho regular habit, of church going," I know all about your case. 1 am going to tell you something that will bo startling at the first, ami that Is that you are going to become the Lord's sheep, "Oh," you say, "that is Impossible; yon don't know my case; you don't know how far I am from anything of that kind." I know all about your case. I have been up and down the world, I know why some of you do not attend upon Christian serv ices, UOD IS CALL1NU YOU I go further, nnd make aunt her announce ment in regard to you, and that Is, you aro not only to become thu IxkiI'h hheep, but you are going to Income tho Ixird's sheen this hour, Clod is going to call you graciously by his spirit; yo" ur.' uoliu f'i come Into thu fold of Christ. This sermon shall not be mi much for tin who am Chii'tinns I huo preached to them him ilmlsauil thousamlsiif times, Thosermiin I hit' I preach unw Is going to bn ehlclly for tlio.o who consider themselves outsiders, l)ii'. who may happen to bo In tho house, and tho chief employment of the Christian people hero today will I hi to pray for thosu who nro not accustomed to attend upon Christian sanctuaries. When t ho steamer A tlautlo went to pieces on .Mars Hock why did that bravo minister of the gospel, of whom wu have all read, go out lu the lifeboat? Why did he not stay nnd look after the passengers thai got ashore, wrapping llaiiuels around them, anil kindling llrcs for them, ami preparing thrill food? There was plenty of work to be done on shore for those who had already escaped. Ah! that bravo man knew that there wero others who would take care of those, ami ho he said, "Man the lifohoati Pull away, my lads, pull awnyl Yonder Is a man, there is n woman frcc.lug lu thu rigging Pull itwnyl" I see tho oar blades Is'iid lu the strong pull of the oarsmen. Then they coum up to tho wreck. Thu Woman is frozen, She drops Into the wave alas! poor woman -and washes out to sea. Hut then Mr, Ancient says: "Theru Is n man Net hanging to thu rigging. Pull away, my bids! pull nwnyl" Theyconiu up, nnd hu says: "Hold now tlieie live inlii utesnml wo will snvo you. SI only! sternly! Now give mu your hand. I .rap! Thank (lot), he Is savedl Thank (lod, he Is saved"' So there aro men now lu thu breakers. They have made a shipwreck of life. While e come out to save them, hoiiio urn swept olT -vept olT before wo can reach them and I hero aro others still hanging on. Steady theru among thu slippery places Steady) ljonp Into this lifeboat I .Vow Is your chance for heaven! This hour Home of you aro going to Iki saved, Far away from (1ml, you nro going to be brought ulgh. "Other idieep hnvu I which are not of this fold." Christ nays that ministers of thu (Sospel lire to lie Ushers for men. Xow, when I go llshlug I do not want to llsh lu anybody else's pond. I do not want to go along Hohokus creek, where there are tun or llftccn men Milling, unit drop my line Just nlmut where they uru dropping their Hues. I should like to get lu a Newfoundland llshlug smack and push out to sea llfty miles he.Noud tho breakers. I do not think the Churchof Uod gains a gicat deal when you take sheep from onu fold and put them 111 aunt her fold. It is thu lost Hheep on tho mountains you want to bring back tho lost sheep on the mountains, Ami they tiro coming today. VOU AUK I10INU TO IIK HWKt'l' IN. You nro now this hour lu the tide of Christian Influences, You aro going tube swept lu; your voice Is going to hu heard lu prayer; you urn going to Iki consecrated to (Sod; you uru going to live u life of useful ness, ami your ileatlils'd Is going to lienor rounded by Christian sympathizers, mid devout men will carry you to your burial when your work Is done, and these words will IhicIiIhoIciI foryourcpltnplu "Precious In tho sight of the Iml Is thu death of his saints," And all that history Is going to lH'glu today. "Other Hheep have I which aro not of this fold." Again 1 remark, the Heavenly Shepherd Is going to llnd many of his sheep among those who are now rejectersof Christianity. 1 do not know how you came to reject Christianity. 1 do not know whet her It was through hearing Theodore Parker preach, or whether it was reading Kenan's "Life of Jesus," or whether It was through some skeptlalu the store or factory. Or it may bo probably Is thu case that you wero disgusted with religion nnd disgusted with Christianity liceausc sumo man who pro fessed to I hi u Christian defrauded you, and hu Mug a iiicmU'r of the church, and you taking him as a representative of tho Christian religion, you said, "Well, it that's religion, I don't want any of It." i do not know how you camu to reject Christianity, but you frankly tell mu you do reject It; you do not think the lllble Is the wonl of Uod, although there are many things lu It you admire; you do not think that Christ was a divine being, although you think ho was a very good man. You say, "If the lllble 1st true the most ot the lllble I si true I nevertheless think thu earlier part of thu lllble Is an allegory." And there nro llfty things that I liellevo you do not lielleve. Nevertheless they tell me in regard to you that you are uu ac commodating, you aro an obliging person. If I should como to you and ask of you a favor you would grant it It It wero possi ble. It would lie a joy for you to grunt me a favor. If nny of your friends camo o you mid wanted an accommodation and you could accommodate them, how glad you would hoi Xow I am going to ask of you a favor. I want you to oblige me. The accommoda tion will cost you nothing, ami you will give me great happiness. Of course you will not deny me. I want you as an ex periment to try the Christian religion. If it does not stand the test, discard tt; If It does, receive it. TUY IT, ANYWAY. If you were very sick, and you had been given up of the doctors, aud I came to you, nnd I took a Isittle of medicine from my pocket and said, "Here Is medicine I am sure will help you; It has cured llfty peo ple," you would say, "Oh, I haven't any coulldence In it; they tell mo all these med icines will fHll me." "Well," I say, "will you not, as a matter of accommodation to myself, Just try It?" "Well," you say, "I havo mi objection to trying It; if It will bo any satisfaction to you I will try It." You take It. Now you aro Hick lu disquietude, sick lu sin. You nro not happy. You laugh sometimes when you aro miserable. There come singes of uulmpptiicss over your soul that almost swamp you. You nro unhappy, struck through with unrest. Now, will you not try this solace, this febrifuge, this anodyne, this Uospel medi cine? "Oh," you say, "I haven't any faith In It." As a matter ot accommodation, let mo Introduce you to the I,ord Jesus Christ, the Oreat Physician. "Why," you say, "I haven't any faith lu hltn." Well, now, will you not just let him comu and try his power on your souU Just let mo Intro duce him to vou. 1 do not ask you to taku my word for it. I do not ask you to taku the advice ot clergymen. Perhaps the clergymen may lw prejudiced; perhaps wo may Iki speaking professionally; perhaps wu may glvu you wrong advice; perhaps wu aro morbid on that subject; so I do not ask you to tako the advice of clergymen, task jou to take the advice of very re spectable laymen, such as William Shakes peare, the dramatist; as William Willa-r-force, thu statesman; us Isaac Newton, tho astronomer; as Itoliert Uoyle, the philos opher; as Iocko, the metaphysician; aa Morse, thu electrician. These men never preached they never pretended to preach but they como out, and putting down, one his telescope, and another thu electrician's wire, ami another tho parliamentary scroll they come out, and they comiKcud Christ as a comfort to all the people, a Christ that the world needs. Now I do not ask you to tako tho dvlw of clergymen. Tako tho advice of these laymen. II docs not iiiakeauy iIKTer dice to inn at this Juncture what you have said imnlnst the lllble; It does not make any illirerciice to mo nt this Juncture how you may have rarlcaturrd religion. Taku (he advice of men who are prominent. In secular tilTalrs, as these men whom I havo mentioned and others who Immediately occur to our nil ml . You see I do not scoir at skepticism. I never sculled at skepticism. I have been a natural skeptic. I do not know what the llrst wonl was that I uttered after ciiWlug tho world, but I think It must have been "why?" There ttcro times when I doubted thu existence of (lod, when I doubled thu di vinity of Christ, when I doubted thu tin mortality of the soul, when I doubted my own existence, when I doubted everything. I have been t hroiigh t he whole curriculum of doubt, ami you can tell mo nothing new about II I have come out from u great Sahara desert into the calm, warm, sun shiny html of the gosM.i. I know about the other laud. I have been there. You can tell mo nothing new about It. Audi know all about the other condition of which you do not know anything the peace, the comfort, thu Joy, the triumph of trusting lu (lod ami lu Jesus Christ whom he has sent. So I urn nut smiling in regard to it. iiixikvi: iv (inn's i.ovi:. There are Hiiuili things I believe that you do not, hut theru are Mime things that I believe ami you do believe. You believe lu love -a father's love, a mother's love, a wife's love, a child's love. Now let mu tell you Cod loves you more than all of them together, and you must come in, you will come lu. Christ looks lu all tenderness, ulth the Inllnlte tenderness of the gospel, Into your soul, and he nays, "This is your time for heaven," and t lieu he waves his hand to the people of Cod, ami he says, "Other sheep hnvo I which are nut of this fold." Again I remark, the Heavenly Shepherd Is going to get many of his sheep among those who hnvu been of evil habit. It outrages mu to see how hooii Christian people give up thu prodigal. I hear Chris tian people talk as though they thought the grace of (lod were u chain of forty or llfty links, and when they had run out then there was nothing to touch the depth of a man's Iniquity If a mull were out hunting for deer, and got on the track of thu deer, hu would hunt amid the bushes and the brakes longer for the lost game than he wotihl look for a lost soul. They say if a man has had the delirium tremens twice hu cannot bo cured. They say If a woman has fallen from Integrity she cannot hu redeemed. All of which is an Inllnlte slander on the gospel of the S'Ui of Uod. Men who say that know nothing about practical religion lu their own hearts. How many times will (!od take back u man who has fallen? Well, I cannot give you the exact llgures, but lean tell you at what point he certainly will take him back. Four hundred and ninety times. Why do 1 say four hundred ami ninety times? He cause the lllble says suventy times seven, Xow llgure that out, you who do not think a man can fall four times, eight times, ten times, twenty times, one hundred times, four hundred times, ami yet be saved. Kour hundred and ninety times! Why, there Is a great multitude before thethionc of Cod who plunged Into nil the depths ot Iniquity. Theru were no sins they did not commit; but they wero was his I of body and washed of mind ami washed of soul, uml they are lie fore the throne of Uod now forever happy. I say that to encourage any man who feels there Is no chance for him. IIOII AI.0NK CAN HAVK YOU. (iood Templars will not save you, al though they uru a grand Institution. Sons of Temperance will not save you, although there is no better society on earth. Sign lug the tcuitcrniicu pledge will not save you, although it is a grand thing todo. No onu hut Uod can save you. Do not put your coulldence in bromide ot potassium oranj thing that the apothecary can mix. Put your trust in Hod! After tho church has cost you olT, ami the batik has cast you nIT, and social circles have cast you otT, and nil good society has cast you olT, and father has cost you olT, ami mother has cast you otT, at your llrst cry for help Coil will bend clean down to that ditch of your Iniquity to help you nut. Oh, what a (lod he is! Iong sulTerlug and gracious! There may lie In this house some whose hand trembles ho with dissipation they could hardly hold a hymn Isiok, I say tu such it they nro here: "You will preach the gospel yet. You will yet, some of you, curry the holy communion through the aisles, uml you will 1st acceptable to every Isuly because overylssly will know you aro saved ami purified by tho grace of Uod, ami a consecrates! man, wholly conse crated. Your business lias got to como up, your physical health Is to lie rebuilt, your family Is to bo restored, the Church ot (lod on earth and lu heaven Is to rejoice over your coming. "Other sheep have I which nre not of this fold." If this Is not the gospel I do not know what the gospel Is, It can scale any height, It can fathom any depth, It can compass any infinity. I think one reason why there are not more jieople saved Is wo do not swing the door wide enough open. Now there Is only one class of persons in this house nlxnit whom I have any despond eucy, ami that is thoso who havo Is-en hearing the gospel for perhaps twenty, thirty, forty yenrs. Their outward llfo is moral, but they tell you frankly they do not love the 1ml Jesus Christ, have not trusted him, havo not been lioru again by the spirit ot God. They aro gospel hard ened, The gospel has no more effect upon them than thu shining ot tho moon on the city pavement. The publicans ami the harlots go Into the kingdom of Gisl before they. They went through, some ot them, the revival of 1857, when oOO.OlK) souls were brought to Clod. Some of them went through great revivals lu individual churches. Still unpardoned, unblessed, unsaved. They were merely spectators. Sospel hardened! After awhile we will hear that they are sick, and then that they aro dead, ami then that they died without any hope. Uospel hardened I Hut I turn away from all such with a thrill ot hope to those who are not gospel hardened. Some ot you have not heard, perhaps, live sermons in live years. This whole subject has Is-en a novelty to you for some time. You are not gospel hard ened; you know you aro not gospel hard ened. Tho whole subject comes freshly to your mind. 1 hear somesoul saying: "Oh, my wasted llfel Oh. the bitter nast I Oh, tho graves I stumbled over! VS hither shall 1 lly? Thu future Is so dark, so dark, so very durkl Ood help me!" (1011 GUAUPS HIS 8I1KKI. Oh, I am so glad for that lust utterance! That was a prayer, and as soon as j ou be gin to pray that turns all heaven th'-i vay, ami Uod steps in, and he lk-uts back the hounds of temptation to their kennels, nnd ho throws all around thu pursued soul the covert of his pardoning mercy. I heard something fall. What was It? It was the bars around the shccpfold, the bars of thu fence around thu sheepfuld. The Heavenly Shepherd let them full, and thu hunted sheep of the mountain come, bounding hi, some with tlcvco torn of thu brumbies, "mi nrticrs witn, ct mine from tun nogs, but bounding In Thank Uod I "Other sheep hnvo I which are not of this fold," Oud forbid that any of you should havo thu lamentation of the dying iiolileman who had had every opportunity of salva tion, but rejected all, mid who wroto or dictated these words: "lleforu ion receive this my final state will be determined.

Oh, my friend, with what horror dot recall the hours of vanity wo have wasted together; but I have a splendid passage to the grave. I die lu state, and languish under a gilded canopy.

I'm Ijut Iter Lett Arm, Court Councilor Meynert, professor of medicine at the university lu Vienna, was prevented recently from delivering onu of ids regular afternoon lectures, and as the students wero already assembled, his as sistant, Dr. Anton, undertook to hypnotize a young woman for the Instruction of the disappointed audience. Thu young wom an was tall, slender, light haired, and some what oxer!.'!) years of age. Dr. Anton let his hand glide over her forehead, smoothed her eyelids with his fingers, touched her cheeks with soft, downward strokes, uml then commanded loudly, "Xow sleep." She slept. "Your arms are completely crippled," ho said, ami both arms sank limp to her sides. "What will you do now, poor creature, without any arms?" he asked. The gill raised her bowed head and began to weep ami wall so plteoiisly that the students rose in their places and shouted that she must be restored at once to consciousness. Dr. Anton seized the young woman's right arm, nibbed It smartly, ami sug gested; "You are all right now. Your arm Is well again." In the same Instant the girl raised tier arm with a triumphant expie shin of face. Dr. Anton then aroused her. To his ami his auditors' astonishment, however, the girl's left arm still hung limp ami apparently nerveless at her side. He had forgotten, in speaking colloquially, to tell her that her left arm, too, had recov ered its .strength. He touched the helpless arm and exhoited the young woman to raise it, hut in vain. She couldn't stir It an Inch. Dr. Anton then explained that thu stu dents had before them a cu.su of "post hypnotic crippling," which could be re moved oulyiifter the girl had been again hypnotized. He was unwilling to exhaust the girl by bringing her Immediately under his lulluence once more, so he deferred the performance of t hu cure for several days.

Anumlierof passengers in thu waiting room of a station of the Third avenue ele vated railway were muiiscil about noon recently by the peculiar conduct of the peo ple who camu up the north stairway from thu street. They would stop at the head ot the stairs, look through thu glass doors at thu ofilec, cast a gliinco full of sympathy at the crowd In thu waiting room and then reluctantly go down stairs Into tho storm. In a few minutes they would again mount the stairs, put down their nickels and rush through thu door to catch a passing train. It was noticed that this remarkable con duct was confined to those who ascended the north stairway. A young man who had been waiting for a City Hail train aud who suspected hoiiio trick went down to the street and returned by the north stair way, when, much to his surprise, as hu en tered the waiting room he saw hanging from thu Inside of thu ticket olllco door, which had carelessly becu left open, a large white card, upon which was printed lu largo black letters; "Manhattan Hallway. Traffic Blocked. No Trains ltunulug." "We thought," said a man w ho had been deceived by the curd, "that there wero no downtown trains running until wo re turned to the street and saw them over head. Wo felt quite sorry for thoso who had, as we supposed, paid their fares ami were compelled to wait until the trains started. Do you think wo wero going to let that ticket seller know that we had Ih-cii fooled and get laughed nt by the other passengers? Xot much." Xew York Tribune. A lU'ncue Willi Hcnllug I.mljers.
