Hut while thl I no In our own oouutry, on tho other alilo of tho At lantlo there nro imtlon thrcntoncd with (amino, and tho inoit dismal cry thnt In ver heard will, I fenr, bo ultorod tho cry for bread. I pray God Unit tho contrast between our prosperity nml their want inny nut l u sharp as In tho laud reforrod to by my text. There was nothing to oat. Plenty of corn tii Kypt. but ghostly famine In Caunnn. Thocattlo moaning In the stall. Men, women nnd children' awfully whlt with huugor. Nut tho falling of ono crop for one summer, hut tho falling of nil tho crop for soven year. A nation dyliiK fur lack of that which I to common on your table nnd ao little, appreciated; tho prod uct of harvest field and Krltt mill and oven; tho prlco of sweat nnd nnxlcty nnd struggle broadl Jacob tho father ha tho laat report from tho Hour bin, nnd ho duds that ovcrythlnj; I out, nnd ho say to his ons, "I Joy, hook up tho wagons nnd start for Egypt and net us something to eat." Tho fact wm thoro wna a great corncrlb In Egypt. Tho peoplo of Egypt have been largely taxed In nil ngea, nt tho present time paying between 70 nnd 60 per cent, of their product to tho government. No wonder In thattluio they had n large corn crlb, and It waa full. To that crib they came from tho region round about those who wero famished tomo paying for corn In moneyi when tho nionoy wna exhausted, paying for tho corn In sheep nnd cattle nnd horses nnd camel, nnd when thoy were xhausted, then telling their own bodies ud their families Into alnvery. I THE BOItllOW OF JACOB. Tho morning for starting out on the crusade for bread has arrived. Jacob gets hi family up very early, Uut before tho elder sons start they say something that snake him tremble with emotion from head to foot and burst Into tears. The tact waa that these elder sons had once before been In Egypt to get corn, and tbey had been treated somewhat roughly, tie lord of tho corncrlb supplying them with corn, but saying at tho olose of tho Interview, "Now, you need not come back era for any mora corn unless you bring something better than money even your younger brother Hcuianiln." ' AbX Benjamin that very name was Bug. Ktlve of nil tendornesa. The mother had & at the birth of thnt son a spirit com- t and another spirit going and the very ought of parting with Benjamin must Jure been, a heartbreak. Tho keeper or 'tab corncrlb, nevertheless, says to these elder sons, "There is no need of your corn lag here any more for corn unless you bring Benjamin, your father's darling." Now, Jacob nud ids family very much seeded bread, but what a struggle it would be to give up this son. Tho orientals nro Tory demonstrative in their grief, nud 1 beartbeoutwalllngof the father aatheso older sons keep reiterating In his oars tho announcement of tho Egyptlau lord, "Yo shall not see my face uuloss your brother be with you." "Why did you tell them , you had a brotherr" said tho old man, complaining and chiding them. "Why, father," thoy eald, "ho naked us all about our family, and wo had no idea he would make any such demand upon us as he has made." "No use of asking me," said tho father, "I cannot, I will not, give up Ben jamin." The fact wo that the old man bad lost children; and when there haa been bereave aaent In a household, and n child taken, It makes the other children In the household aaore precious. So the day for departure was adjourned and adjourned nnd ad journed. Still the horrors of the famine increased, and louder moaned the cattle aad wider open cracked the earth .and aaore pallid became the cheeks, until Jacob, in despair, crlod out to his sons, "Take Benjamin nnd be off." The older eons tried to cheer up their father. Tbey Midi. "We have strong arms and a stout heart, and no harm will cqmo to Benjamin. We'll see that he gets back again." "Fare welll" said the young men to the father, In a tone of assumed good cheer, "t-a-r-o-w-e-M I" said the old man, for that word has more quavers In It when pronounced by the aged than by the young. Well, the bread party the bread embassy drives up In front of the corncrlb of Egypt. These corncrlb are filled with wheat and barley and corn In the busk, for those who have traveled in Canaan and Egypt know that there Is corn there corresponding with our Indian malse. Husxal the Journey is ended. The lord of the corncrlb, who Is also the prime minister, comes down to these arrived travelers, and saysi "Dine with me today. Bowls your father? Is this Ben jamin, the younger brother, whose pres ence 1 demanded?" Tho travelers are in troduced Into the palace. They are worn aad bodusted of the way, and servants come In with a basin of water In one hand and a towel In the other, and kneel down before these newly arrived travelers, wash lag off the dust of the way, The butchers and poulterers and caterers of the prime minister prepare the repast. The guests are seated In small groups, two or three at a table, the food on a tray; all the luxuries from Imperial gardens and orchards nnd noquarlums and aviaries are brought there, and are filling chalice and platter. Now Is the time for this prime minister if he has a grudge against Beuja tain to show It Will he kill him, now that be has htm In hi haudsf Oh, uol This lord of the corncrlb fs seated at bis own table, and he looks over to the table of his gueU, and he sends a portion to each of them, but sends a larger portion to Benjamin, or, as the Bible quaintly puts it, "Beujamln's mess was live times so much as any of theirs." Be quick and send word back with the swiftest camel to Canaan to old Jacob that "Benjamin Is well; all Is well; he Is faring sumptuously; the Egyptian lord did not mean murder md death: but be meant deliverance and life when ae announced to us on that day, Ye sball not see my face unless your broth er be with yen,' " Well, my friend, this wtrld Is famine truck of Mn. It dors not yield a single ironof solid satisfaction. It t dying. It Is hunger bitten. The fact that It dor not, can not, feed a man's heart wan well Illustrated In tho llfo of tho KnglNh cnu dlnn. All the world honored hlin did everything for him that tho world cotilil do. Ho wna applauded Iu England and n plnudod In tho United State. Ho roused np nation Into laughter. Ho had no equal. And yet, although many people supposed him entirely happy, nud that thl world was completely satiating his soul, he sits down nnd write! "1 never In my life put on a now hat that it did not rnln and ruin It. I never went out In n shabby coat becnuso It was nil it lug and thought nil who hnd tho choice would keep Indoor that the sun did not burst forth In Its strength and lirlnu out with It all the butterflies of fashion whom I knew and who know mo. 1 never consented to accept n part I tinted, out of kindness to another, that I did not gel liU-cil by tho public nnd cut by tho writer I could uol Uko a drlvo for n few minute with Torry without being overturned nnd having my elbow bono broken, though my friend got off unharmed. 1 could nut mako a covenant with Arnold, which I thought wo to mako my fortune without making hi Instead, than In nn Incredible Npaco of time 1 think thirteen months I earned for him twenty thousand pound nud for myself one. I am persuaded thnt If I were to set up a a beggar, every one Iu my neighborhood would leave off eating bread." That was tho lament of the world's comedian nnd Joker. All, tin happy. Tho world did everything for lord Byron that It could do, nnd yet In Ida last moment ho ask a friend to com? mid sit down by him nnd read, ns most uppm prlato to his case, tho story of "Tho Bleed Ing Heart." Torrlglano, tho sculptor, uxe cutud, after months of caro and carving, "Madonna and tho Child." Tho royal family camo In and admired It. Every body that looked nt it wm In ecstney But one day, after nil that toll and nil that nil miration, because ho did not get a much compensation for his work as ho had ux poctcd, ho took n mallot nud dashed the exquisite sculpturulntontoms. Tho world Is poor compensation, poor satisfaction, poor ho I ace. Famine, famlno In nil the earth; not for sovon yearn, but for bIx thousand. But, blessed bo God, thcro Is a great corncrlb. Tho I.ord built It It Is In another land. It Is n largo place. An angel onco measured It, nnd as far as I can calculate It In our phrase thnt corncrlb Is fifteen hundred miles long and (If 'eon hundred broad nud fifteen hundred high, nnd It Is full. Food for alienation. "Oh!" say tho peoplo, "wu will start right nwny nud get this supply for our soul." But stop n moment, for from tho keeperof that corncrlb thero conies this word, saying, "You shall not boo my face except your brother bo with you." In other word, thoro I nosuch thing ns getting from henvou pardon nnd comfort and eternal llfo unless wo bring with us our Dlvlno Brother, tho Ixml Jesus Christ. Coming without him wo shall fall beforo wo reach the corncrlb, and our bodies shnll bo n portion for tho Jackals of tho wilderness; but coming with tho Dlvlno Josus, all tho grauarles of heaven will swing open beforo our soul and nbundanco sliaUbo given us. We shall be Invited to sit In tho palaco of tho king and nt tho table; nnd while tho Iord of henvou Is apportioning from his own tnble to other tables, he will not forget us; nnd then nnd there it will bo found that our Benjamin's mess I larger than all the others, for so it ought to be. "Worthy Is tho Lamb that was slain to re celvo blessing and riches and honor and glory and power." ko admTssIox without ciiuist. 1 want to make three points. Every frank and common seuto man will acknowl edge himself to bo a sinner. What are you going to do with your slnsf Have them pardoned, you say. Howf Through the mercy of God. What do you mean by tho mercy of God? Is It the letting down of a bar for the admission of nil, without re elect to charactorf Uo not deceived. I see a soul coming up,to tho gato of mercy nud knocking nt tho corncrlb of heavenly sup ply, and a voice from within says, "Are you nlonof" The sinner replies, "All alone." The volco from within says, "You shall not see my pardoning face unless your Dlvlno Brother, tho tard Jesus, be with you." Oh, that Is tho point nt which so many are discomforted. There Is uo mercy from God except through "Jesus Christ. Coming with him wo are accept ed. Coming without him, we nre rejected. Peter put It right In his great serinou before tho high priests when he thundered fortht "Neither Is there salvation In nny other. There Is uo other nnmo given un der heaven among men whereby wo may be saved." O anxious slnnerl O dying sinner! O lost sinner! nil you have got to do Is to have this dlvlno Benjamin along with you. Side by side, coming to tho gate, all the storehouses of boa veil will swing open before your anxious soul Am I right In calling Jesus Benjamin? Oh, vest Rachel lived only long enongh to give a namo to that child, and with a dy ing kiss she called him Benoul, After ward Jacob chnuged his name, nud he called him Benjamin. The inoauingaf the name she gave was "Son of my Pain." The meaning of the name the father gave was "Son of My Right Hand." And was not Christ the Son of Palnf All the sor rows of Rachel In that hour, whon she gave her child over into the hands of strangers was nothing compared with the struggle of God whon he gave up his only Son. The omnipotent God In n birth throe! And was not Christ appropriately called "Son of the Right Hand?" Did not Stephen look Into heaven and sco him standing at the right hand of Godf And does not Paul speak of him as ataudtng at the right hand of God making Intercession tor us? O Benjamin Josus! Son of pang! Son of victory! Tho deepest emotions of our souls ought to be stirred at the souud of that nomenclature. In your prayers plead his tears, his sufferings, his sorrows and bis death. If you refuse to do it all the corn cribs and the palaces of heaven will be bolted and barred against your soul, and a voice from the throne shall stun you with the announcement, "You shall not see my face except your brother be with you." TIIK WORLD'S STUI'ATIIT UWEA.K. My text also suggests the reason why so many people do not get any real comfort. You meet ten people; nine of them are In need of some kind of condolence. There Is something In their health, or In their state, or In their domestic condition that de mands sympathy. And yet the most of the world's sympathy amounta to abso lutely uothtng. People go to the wrong crib or thoy go In tho wrong way. When the plague was In Rome a great many years ago, there wero eighty men wno cnanted themselves to death with the lita nlesof Gregory the Great literally chanted themselves to death, and yet It did not stop the plague. And all the music of this world cannot halt the plague of the human heart. I come to some one whose ailments are chronic, and 1 say, "In heaven you will tMvertM Hick,'' Thnt does not give you lunch comfort. What you want Is n sooth lug power for your present distress. Lost children, have you? I eotne to you nud tell jou that In ton years perhaps you will meet those loved our before the throne of God But there I hut little condolence in that. Ono day I a year without them, ten year Is a hiikiII eternity. What you want U sympathy now present help. I come to thoe of yuti who hnvo lost dear friends, and Hjy "Try to forget them Do not keep the departed always In your mind." How can you forget them when every figure In the carpet and every hook and everilctiire and every room culls out their name. SuppOHO I ton o to you and say by way of condolence. "God is wUo." "Oh," you say, "that gives me no help." Suppose I couio to you and say, "God, from all eter nity, has arranged this trouble." "Ah!" you say, "that does tun no good." Then 1 ay, "With the swift feet of prayer go di rect to the corn crib lorn heavenly supply ' Yoii go You say, "lunl, help me, liid, comfort me." But no help yet. No com tort yet It Is all dark. What Is the mat tcr? I have found. You ought to go to God and sayi "Here, O bird, aru the wound of my soul, and l bring with mo the wounded Jesus. Ict tils wound pay for my wounds, his Iwrvuvemcnta for my IwreaveinentH, his loneliness for my lone IIiichh, his heartbreak for my heartbreak. O Godl for the sake of the Iord .lcus Christ tho God, the man, tho Benjauilii. the brother deliver my agonized nml O Jesus of the weary foot, case my fatigue. O .Ichux of the aching head, heal my aching head. O Jesus of tho Bethany sla ters, roll away the stono from tho door of our grave." That Is tho kind of prayer that brings help; nud yet how many of you are getting uo help at all, for tho reason that there Is Iu your soul, perhaps, a secret trouble. You may never Imvo mentioned It to a single human ear, or you may have mentioned It to some one who Is now gone away, and that great sorrow Is still In your soul. After Washington Irving was dead they found a little box that contained a braid of hair nnd a miniature and the name of Matilda Hoffman, and a memo randum of her death and a remark somo tlilng lllie thl "The world after that was a blank to mo. I went Into the country, but found no pcacu in solltudo. I tried ta go Into society, but I found no penco In so clety There lias been u horror hanging over me by night nnd by dny, nud I am afraid to be alono." FAI.SK AND FOOLISH ritOMISKS. How many uuuttered troublesi No !iu man ear has ever heard the sorrow. Oh, troubled soul, I want to tell you that there Is ono salve that can euro thu wounds of the heart, nnd that Is the salvo madoout of tho tears of a sympathetic Jesus. And yet Home of you will not take this solace: and you try chloral, nnd you try morphine, nud you try strong drink, nnd you try change of sceno, nnd you try new business associations, and anything nnd everything rather than take tho Divine companionship nnd sympathy suggested by tho words of my text when It says, "You shall not see my face again unless your brother bo with you." Oh, that you might understand some thing of tho height and depth and length nud breadth and Immensity and Infinity of" God's eternal consolations. 1 go further, nud find In my subject s hint ns to the wny heaven opens to tho de parting spirit. Wo nro told that heaven has twelvo gates, nnd some peoplo Infer from that fact that nil the people will go In without reference to their post life; but what is the use of having a gate that Is not sometimes to bo shut? Tho swinging of gate implies that, pur entrance into heaven is conditional. It Is not n mouetary con dition. If we come to the door of an ex quisite concert wo nre not surprised that we must pay u fee, for wo know thnt fine earthly music Is expensive; but nil the ora torios of heaven cost uothtng. Heaven pays nothing for Its music. It is all free. Thero Is nothing to bo paid at that door for entrance; but the condition of getting Into heaven Is our bringing our divine Benjamin along with us. Do you notice how often dying peoplo call upon Jesus? It Is tho usual prayer offered tho prayer offered more than all tho other prayers put together "Lord Jesus receive my spirit." Ono of our congregation, when asked In tho closing moments of his life, "Do you know us?" saldi "Oh, yes, I know you. God bless you. Goodby. Lord Jesus, re ceive my spirit;" and ho was gone. Oh, yes, In thu closing momeutsof our llfo wo must havo a Christ to call upon. If Jacob's sons had gone toward Egypt, and hnd gone with the very finest equipage, nnd had uot taken Benjamlu along with them, nud to tho question they should have been obliged to answer: "Sir, wo didn't bring him, ns father could not let him go; we didn't want to lie hotherod with him," a voice from within would havo said: "Go away from us. You shall not hnvo any ol this supply. You shnll uot see my faot becauso your brother Is uot with you." MAN'S EXTItKMITY, OOP'S TIME. And If we come up toward the door at heaven nt last, though we come from nil luxuriance nnd brilliancy of surroundings, nud knock for admittance nnd it Is found that Christ Is uot with us, the police of heaven will beat us back from the bread house, saying: "Depart, 1 never knew you." If Jacob's sons, coming toward Egypt, had lost everything on me way; ii they had expended their Inst shekel; if they had come up utterly exhausted to the corncrlu. of Egypt, and it had been found that Benjamin was with them, all the storehouses would have swung open be fore them. And so, though by fatal casualty we may be ushered Into the eterual world; though we may be weak nnd exhausted by pro tracted sickness If, In that hut moment, we can only just stagger nud faint and fall Into the gato of hcaveu it seems that all tho corncribs of heaven will open for our need nnd all the palaces will open for our reception; and tho Iord of tlmt. place, seated at his table, and all thu nugels of God seated at their table, and tho martyrs seated at their table, and all our glorltlcd kindred seated at our table, the king shall pass a portion from his table to ours, and theu, while we think of tho fact that it was Jesus who started us on the road, and Jesus who kept us on tho way, and Jesus who at last gained admittance foroursoul, we shall bo glad if he has seen of the trav ail of his soul and been satisfied, nud not be at all jealous If It bo found that our dlvlno Benjamin's mess Is Ave times larger than all the rest. Until anointed of the Lord, thou art worthy. My friends, you see it is either Christ or famine. It there were two banquets spread, and to one of them only you might go, you might stand nnd think for a good while as to which Invitation you had belter accept; but here It Is feasting or starvation. If It were u choice between oratorios, you might sny, "I prefer the 'Creation,' " or "I prefer tho 'Messiah.'" But hero it Is n choice between harmony and everlasting discord. Oh, will you live oi die? Will you start for the Egyptian corncrlb. or will you perish amid the empty barns of the Cunnanltish famine? "Ye shall not see my face except your brother fa with you." SWINDLE THEIR COUNTRYMEN omit Ksprelally Dlitrsreful Ainrrlniii Sprrlmttit In London. Special Correspondence.) Nf.w YoitK, Ang. 27. London isbecoiu ing tho chosen field for a jiectillarly an noying nnd, 1 regret to pay, successful variety of American swindlers wlic nmkc their headquarters In tho English metropolis for the solo purposo of prey itiK upon their fellow countrymen. That their methods uro so ridiculously crude nud slmplo that they would novcr go down except under tho peculiar condl tlons which favor them In London tloos not add to tho comfort of tho victims, It may Ik taken as n fair statement of fnct to insert that fully ulno-tentliR of tho half million of American tourists who visit London nnnunlly nro oppressed by u feeling of loneliness nnd thnt they nro naturally drawn townrd those ol their fellow countrymen thoy may clinncu to meet This feeling simplifies the mutter of making tho ncquulututu't of the victim A stronger greets you In tho smoking room of a Loudon hotel, remarking: "You uro from at. Paul? I'm n Chi cngo man," and the introduction is sufli dent. You chnt about America, you discover mutual friends, nnd If the swindler has any ability in his clioien line it is but u short tlino before ho h:t inspired you with confldcuco nud bor rowed such n mini nB he thinka it safe to ask you for This Bounds liko such a bald scheme of swindling that many peoplo may be disposed to doubt It. Yet It is successfully practiced every day In the year by the well dressed confidence men who "work" tho Loudon hotels It Is taking advantage of the genero impulses of n fellow countryman, im pulses which uro aroused by that faint shadow of homesickness which is cxiicri enced by most travelers, nnd by that trait of human naturo which prompts n man ta bo more liberal when ho is away from homo, on pleasure bent, than when ho is In tho regular routiuo of bust ness life. From this point the swiudlerswork up nml down in point of ingenuity nud bociul pretensions. Thero nro tho high tom-d operators whodress well, belong ton club or two those of tho proprietary viirletv to which it is easy to gain admission and who play for high stakes, and then are thoso of tho shabbier typo who nre little inoro than beggars. Thero is a follow still working Ameri can travelers in London who to my cer tain knowledge has lived for two years on u steerage ticket from Liverpool to New York, Ho is a glib talker, and evi dently tms some little education. He se cures the names and addresses of new arrivals from tho registers of the various "exchanges" nud tho published lists. He calls, tells his tulo of poverty; in some cases ho has been robbod, In others he has lost liis money nt Monte Carlo, iu others ho has been unsuccessful in some business vonturo, ho is skillful in mak ing his story suit his audience, be shows his steerage ticket nnd explains that he has not enough money to reach Liver pool, it is only a mutter of a few dollars but tho fellow is industrious, und 1 tin derstand that he wakes a good living out of it Though tho Lugllan law deals very severely with tho crimo of obtaining money under falso pretenses, tho visit ing American does not know just how to iuvoko that law nnd he dreads being detained by court proceedings. Further more, he is jealous of his reputation for Yankee shrewdness, and tho swindler is comparatively safe. I Bupposo thnt it will never bo known how many thousand dollars nro given by Amorican tourists in London for the purposo of buying steerage tickets to America. These swindlers aro greatly uided by the fact that no American benevolent society of any kind exists in London. Notwithstanding our largo and wealthy Amorican colony thoro, no organized ef fort has been made to aid really deserv ing Americans who, through ono mis fortuno or another, are stranded in the big city without funds. Every other civilized nation lias some provision of this kind. Cases" are investigated by competent agents, and such assistance as is necessary is oxtendod to worthy ap plicants. Tho Greeks, tho Turks, the Arabs, tho Spaniards, Italians, Germans and Portuguese take care of their own poor systematically and intelligently, while tho Americans, in the absence of such organized charity, allow the really deserving to suffer and tho swindlers to reap n rich harvest. There is little of sensation or novelty in a plain recital of facts liko the pre ceding. The simplo methods of these Anglo-American swindlers do not admit of varied or entertaining description, but this letter will have Borved Its purposo if it puts iutendlng travelers on their guard. If your heart Is really touched by the talo of woo and your hand in stinctively seeks your pockotbook, curb yonr generous iinpulso nnd at least innke inquiries at the Amorican consulate. Mr. Moffat, the vice consul, keeps a biaeu list of the inoro notorious of the swin dlers, und if tho applicant is really de serving he can havo no possible objection to your making such inquiries. I have advised many friends to pursuo this courso and after listening to tho appeal to say, "Well, 111 speak to the consul, call tomorrow." Ont of over a dozen cases only ono made tho second call. The plague has grown to such propor tions that in many of tho hotels nnd ex changes patrons are warned against making tho acquaintance of strangers but tlio warnings aro about as useless a tho signs, "Beware of pickpockets." which wo have posted iu our railway stations. Americano aro naturally gen erous and free with their monoy; they make acquaintances readily and, as a rule, they have u sublime faith In their own ability to take caro of themselves The majority visit London for pleusnre. they nre well provided with money, und the story of tho fellow countryman who Is hard up appeals to them wltu peculiar force. As u consequence the swindler nourishes like a green bay tree nnd does more thnn his share toward destroying tho faith of good men iu human nature. AiJ.AN FORMAN.
