Afraid that some will get these apple when
they really ought not to have them.
YOU AUK Mil' UOD'H ONLY CIIAItOK.
Have you any Idea that Ih-cuiiko you
wero baptized at eight mouths of ago, ami
because you have all your life U-en mir
rbuniled by hallowed lullmmces, you have
ft right to 0110 whole side of thu Lord's tn
lilo, Hpreuillug yourxelf out so nohoily elo
can nit there? Von will have to haul hi
jour cIImiwh, for thcro will come, a great
multitude to Kit at tho table and on both
hides of you. Vou are not going to have
this monopoly of religion. "Other sheep
have. 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

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

Standing in the street the fireman reach
es up aud hooks his ladder over tho second
story wludowslll. Then he climbs up aud,
throwing a leg over the window sill, draws
up the ladder ami hooks It into thu third
story, and so up he climbs to thu top lloor,
no matter how high the building may ls.
I lore he si ts in the wi udo w and lowers a cord
to the ground, by which a life Hue an Inch

goes up the Humes burst from a window
illiectly over him.
In that case hu hooks his ladder ou a
window sill to the right or left, ami swings
over, pendulum fashion, out of thu line ot
tho lire, and there continues his way till

Improved modifications for securing addi

essential advantage of this battery consists
In its p.Nesslng a certain amount of elasti

against thu other, ami compressed between
two end plates of wood by means of rubber
spring bands.

active solid mutter an artificial elasticity
which results in large specific power ami
storing capacity. This is only one of the
