Hut whllti Coliiinlmx, 11s Ids namo was called 11 f tor It was hatlnlr.oil, tood stud) lug maps and examining kIoIh's and tend hitf rosmoKraphy, God mild to him, "hlft up thlno eyes toward tlio west." Tlio fart was It must have neomod to Columbus a very lopsided world like 11 cart with one wliwl, llko 11 scissors with ono blade, like a nack on 0110 hIiIo of 11 camel, needliiK a tack on tliu other side to balance It. Here was a brldu of 11 world w it It 110 bridegroom When God inakes a half of anything ho does not Htoptheio. Ho makes tho other half. Wo are all ohllged comet lines to leavo thliiL's only half done. Hut God never Htopi half way, because ho has the time and the power to go all tho way. Ilonot wonder that Columbus was not latlsded with half a world, and so went to work to Hud the other half. Tho pieces of carved wood that, wcro floated to the bhoivsof Kuropo by a westirly gale, and two (lend human faces, unlike anything he had seen before, Ilk uwlso lloa'ed from the west, wcro to him I ho voice of God saying, "hlft up tlilno eyes towanl trfo west." Hut thoworld iheii.iwiiow had plenty of Cat.'t-bc-doueH. That Is win. keeps Individuals back, and enterprises back, 1 tho church back, and nations back Iguixiiinlous and disgusting and disheartening Cun't-bo-doncs. Tn cant't-iii:-1)onk8. Old navigators said to young Coluinbus, "It can't bo done." Thu republic of Genoa paid, "1 1 can't bo done." AlphoiKo V m ild. "It can't bo done." A committee on mirl time ullalrs, to whom tho subject was sul mlttcd declared, "It can't bo done." Vene tians said, "It can't bo done." Hut the father of Columbus' wlfo died, leaving his widow a large number of i-on chairs i.nl maps, nud as if to condemn thu slur that different ages put upon mothers-in-law, tlio mo'her-ln-lawof Columbus gavu bin. the naxigator's materials out of which he ciphered America. After nwhlle tlio story of till oor but ambitious Columbus reaches the ear of Queen Isabella, and she pays eighty dollam to buy him 11 decent suit of clothes, m that he may bo lit to up jiear before royalty. Tho interview in tho palace was success ful. Money enough was borrowed to lit out tho expedition. There ibey are, the three ships, in thoGulf of Cadi., Spain. If you list; me which lutvu been the most fa mous boats of the world, I would say, first, Noah's ship, that wharfed on Mount Ararat; second, thu boat of bulrushes, In which Moses limited tho Nile; third, the Mayllo.ver, that put out from IMyinou .h with the Pilgrim Fathers, mid now th-so tluee e.xscls that on this tho Frlu.iy morning, Aug. II, N'JL'.mo ro-iking on thu ripples. I am so glad it is Friday, mi that the prows of thoiu thieo ships shall first of till run don 11 thu superstition that things bu gun or voyage started on Friday nitiht uec essarlly prove disastrous. Show mo any Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Saturday that ever accom plished as much as this expedition that started on Fridaj. With thu idea that there will bo put IN connected w lib tlio ex pedition the bacrament of the Lord's sup per is administered. Do not forget that tliis voyago has begun under religious auspices. There is the Santa Maria, only ninety feet long, Willi four iniuts and eight anchors. Tho captain walking tho deck Is llfty-soveu years old, bis hair white, fornt thirty-live lie was gray, and his facu is round, his nou aquiiluunud his stature a llttlu taller than tho aveiau. I know from bis decided step and thu set of ids Jaw that lie is a determined man. That; is Captain Chi istopher Columbus, Near by, but far enough olf not to run into each other, mo thu smaller ships, tlio I'lnta nud the Xina, about largo enough and safe enough to cross the Hudson liver or the Thames in good weather. There are two doctors In tills lleet of ships and a few landsmen, adventurers who are lend) to 1 Isk their necks In n wild expedition. There aro enough provisions for a year. "Captain Columbus, wheroare you sailing forf" "I do not know." "How long before you will get there?" "I can not Miy." "All ashoie that are going!" is heard, and thoso who wish to remain go to the laud. Tin: man or ih:ti:iimikatiun. Now the anchors of thu three ships arc being weighed, anil-t ho ratlines begin to rattle and tho sails tounfurl. Tho wind is dead east, and it does not take long to get out to sua. In a few bonis the adventurers wish they had not started, Thu ships be gin to roll and pitch. Oh, it Is such a de lightful sensation for Jandsmcn! They be gin to bother Captain Columbus with ques tions. They want to know what lie thluksof tho weather. They want to know when lit) thinks liu will probably get thcic. Kvery time when he stands taking obser vatlousof the sun with an astrolabe they wonder what hu sees and ask inoie ijucs tlons. The nuw aie rather grouty. Some ofthemcamu 011 under four mouths' ad vaucu pay and othuts were impressed into tbu service Foj sixteen da)s thu wind is dead east, and that pleases the captain because it blows them fait her and fait her away from thu Kuiopeaii co.ist and farther on toward tbu shoiu of another country, if there Is any. After awhile there comes 11 calm day, and the attempt is made to fathom thu ocean, and they cannot touch bottom though thu linn and lead rundown two bundled fathoms. More delightful sensa tions for those who aie not good sailors! A fathom Is six ft et, and two huiidiid fath oms one thousand two bundled feet, ami below that it may bu many bundled feet deeper. To add iutcitst to the vo)nge on the twentieth day nut a lolent stoini sweeps the sea, and III Atlantic ocean tiles what it can do with the Santa .Mm la, t lie I'inta and the Nina. Some of ) 011 know some thing of w hat a sea can do with the I'mia in, thu Miijisllr, the i'eiitonlo and the (it of Fails, and )ou must ima.lne w..ut (liu ocean could do w lib thoso three small ship's of olden time. You may Judge what thu (Mean was then by what It Is now; It lias never changed Its habits. It can sinllo llko thu morning, but often It Is tho archangel of wrath, and Its most loUlckliig fun Is shipwreck. Thu mutinous crew would have killed Columbus had It not been for th) general opinion on shipboard that ho wim tho only otiu that could taku them back home In-safety. Tho promise of a silk waistcoat and forty dollars In money to tho man wiiorhouhl first discover land appeased them soino what, but the Indignation and blasphemy and threats of assassination must have been awful. Yet God sustained the great sailor coiuniaudliig tho Santa Maria Kvery evening on shipboard they had prayers and sung a vesper hymn, Hut after all thu patience of thoso on hoard the ships had been exhausted, and tlio great captain or admiral had been cursed by every anathema that human lips could inline, one night 11 sailor saw n light mov lug along tho shore, and then moving up nud down, and then disappearing. On Filday morning at two o'clock, Just long enough after Thin winy to mako It stiie that It was Friday, and so give an other blow at the wot Id's Ideas of unlucky da)s-oii Filday nioiulug, Oct, I-', lllf-!, n gun from thu I'lnta signaled "land ahead." Then tho ships lay to and the Isiats wcro lowered, and Captain Clulsto pher Columbus first stepped upon tli shore amid tlio song of bluls and thu air 11 suigo of redolence and took possession In the niuno of the Father, ami tho Sou and thu Holy Ghost, TIIU (ll.OlllOUs CONSUMMATION. So the vo)ngo that began with tho sacra ment ended with "Glotla In Fxcelsls Deo,' From that day ouw aril ) on say there can bu nothing for Columbus but honors, ru wards, rhapsodies, palaces and world wide applause. No! not On his way back tc Spain thu ship was so w rend' id by the tempest aiidsothieatened with destruction that ho wrote a brief account of Ids illscov ery and put it In a cask ami tlnuw it over born d that the world mlglit not loso the advantage of his adventures. Honoit awaited him on the beach, but bu nr.dei took n second voyage, and with it camo all maligning and persecution and dcuunclu tinu nud poverty. Uu wns called iv land grabber, 11 liar, a client, a fraud, a deculvur of nations. Spcculatom robbed him of his good name, courtiers depreciated bis discoveries, and there came 10 him ruined health and lin prisonment unci chains, of which hu said while .ho 1 hi tied them on bis wrists, "I will wear th-m us a memento of tho grail t'lilo of primes." Amid keen appreciation of the world's abuse and cruelty, and with body writhing In the tortures of gout, ho groaned out his last words, "In maiiUH tuns Domlnii coiiiinendos.ilrltuni metiin" "Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend m spirit." Of course Iim hail regal nbsciuh-s. That is the way tho world tilt t to atone for Its mean treatmetitof great In nefact'iis, Many n man has had 11 fine tli.u to his grave who during this l.fe had to walk all thu way. A big funeral, and instead of bicad they give him u Mom thai Is n tombstone. Hut dcatli, that btlngs ijuiet to thu body of others, did not bring ipiletto his. First buried In thochutchof Santa Matia. Seven years nftoi ward removed toSuvi.le. Twun ty-three years afterward rcmovid to San Domingo. Finally removed to Cuba. Four postmortem Journeys from sepilcher to sepulcher. 1 wish Ids bones might be moved Just once more, and now that they bavu comu so near to America as Cuh.i the) might during thu great Columbian year be transported to our own shores, wheie tin y belong, and that In thu fifth century utter his (license the American eontlnei.t ught build a mausoleum wortny of him wl o picked tuis jewel of 11 hemisphere out of thu sea and set it in thu cionn of tlu wor'd's geoi raphy. 1J it the bright noonday sun of that old -it Id's prospeilty went down In thickest night, and (hough he:eaud there n inonu iiicii1' has been lifted in his memory, and hcicuml thtiu a city called after him, the continent tint hu was the means of found ing was named after another name, 1. nil no fitting commemoration of his work lias been propo-ed until neatly four hundred yiais after his body turned to dust. May thu imposing demonstration now being miure in his honor on thu Atlantic coast and to bu niiulu next ) car In ills honor mid continent be brilliant enough and far re sounding enough nud Christian enough and magnificent enough to atone for the i.eglecl of centuries! May thu good Lord allow that most Illustrious sailor of all time to look over tho amethystino battlements long enough to see some of thugnrlandswrcathid around his nainu and hear something of thu hemispheric shout that shall greet bis memory I AMI.ItICA DISCOVEItlU) IN TIIK NA.MK OK COI). What must impresses mo In all that wondrous life, which for the next twelve mouths we will he commemorating by termon and song and military paraou and World's fair and congress of nations, is something I have never heard slated, and that istliattliediscocryof Ameiicii wasn religious dUcovery and In the n.iine of God, Columbus, by thu study of the piophccies, and by what Zechariah and Micah and David ami Isaiah had said ubout the "ends of thu earth," wat per Minded to go out nud find thu "cuds of the earth," nud he felt himself called by God to carry Christianity to thu "ends of the earth." Then the admluistiation of the last supper befuio tliuy left the Gulf of Cadi., and the evening prayers during the voyage, and tho deout ascription uu boon as they saw the New 'World, and tho doxologies with which they lauded confirm me in baying that the discovery of America w as a religious disco cry. Atheism has no right here; infidelity has no right here; vagabondism lias no tight here. And as God is not apt to fall In any of Ills undertakings (at any tatu I have never heaid of his having nnythlng to do with ufalluie), Ameilca Is going to buGos peli.fd, and tiom thu Golden Gatu of Cali fornia to the Nai rows ot New Yolk harbor, mid fiom the top of North America to the foot of South Amenta, from Hchriug stiaits to Cape limn, this is going to lie lminanuel's lunil. All tho forms of irre llgiou and ab.iuiiuation that have cursed other parts of the world will laud here Jen, they hao already landed and they will wrangle for the possession of this hemisphere, and they will make great headway and tt-el themselves almost estab lUlied.

I cnll for George Frederick Handel's "Halle lujah Chorus." There lias been much talk of I e about communication with otliet wothis. Mars has come so mar wo can see Its canals, and It lias been hoped that by signals after nwhllo we may coinmiinl catowlth other stars. Ah, that will not bo Kwsble until our world has been re formed and evangelized, It would nut do for our world in lis lost and ruined state to have communication with other worlds. It would spoil tlmlt morals. Hut wait until this world Is fully redeemed, us It will be, and then perhap Inlerstellarcoriespotideuco may bo opened. Till then this smitten and sickened world of ours must bo iiuaiautlncd from coming too near the tinfailen worlds, lint, thank God, the prophecies which cheered Coluin bus In his great undertaking cheer us. America for Godl Yea, the round world forGodl There can bo no doubt about Iti 111: kni:v not am. in: in. Tho gieat Italian navigator also Im presses mo w lib tlio Idea that when onv does n good thing lie cannot appreciate, it ramifications. To the moment of hlsdenth Columbus never know that ho had dNcov ered America, but thought that Cuba win n part of Asia. Ho thought the island Hlspanlnla was the Ophlr of Solomon, lie thought he had only opened i new way to old Asia, Had ho known what North ami South America weie and ate, and that in had found a country three thousand miles wide, ten thousand miles long, of sewntcen million square miles and four times 111 large as Kuropo, tho luippliieKi would have been too much for mortal man to endure. Ho had no idea that the time would come when 11 nation of sixty million people on tills side of tho sea would bo Joined by nil thu Intelligent nations on the other side tho sea for tho most part of a ) ear reciting Ills wondei fill deeds. It took centuries to reveal the icsultof that ono transatlantic voyago. So It has .always been. Could Paul on that. .hum day when hu was do capitated bavu had any Idea of what effect his letters and tlio account of his life would have on Chrlstciidomr Could Mar tin Luther have had any idea of tho echoes that would ring through the ages from Un hang ot Ids hammer nailing the Latin theses against 11 church door nt Wltteti borgj Could Kll Whitney have realized the continents of wealth that would bo added to tho south by thu Invention of his cotton glnC Could John Gutenberg, tolling year lifter year making typu and laboriously setting them sldu by side, and with presses changed now this way and now that, and sued by John Faust for money loaned, and many of thu people trying to client Guten berg out of his Invention, ho tolling on until ho produced what Is known as thu Mazarln Hlble, have any Idea that, as 11 re sult of his intention, thorn would bo 11 brarlcs that placed side by side would again nnd again engirdle tho em th, or the showers of newspapers that snow tho world under? When Manhattan island was sold to tho Dutch for twenty-four dollars neither they wiio sold or bought could have foreseen New York, the coinmciclal metropolis of Amotion, that now stands on it.

Kvery move yon make for God, how ever insignificant in your own eyes or in the eyes ol others, touches woilds larger than the 010 Columbus dlscoveicd. Why talk abot.t iiiiimpnitaut things? There are no unimportant things. Infinity Is made upnf Inlluitesmiils. Onaclearnlght tlio smallest dewdrop holds it htar.

Cheer up, my brave fcllowi" and that sympathct ic word cheeied tho entire hospital. He fore you die you can, out of your own mis toi tunes, cheer a hundred souls and start unending i chocs. You can no more upprc clato tliu fan caching results of 3-011 r life than Columbus could see this continent from aretio to iintnrllc.

While studying the llfu of this Italian navigator, I am also reminded of the fact that while we ate diligently looking for one tiling wu find another. Columbus started to find India, but found America Go on and do sour duty diligently and prnyerfulls, nnd if 3011 do not find what 3 on looked for you will find something better. Saul was hunting for tho strayed animals of his fnthcr's biirtiynrd, but met Samuel, tho prophet, who gave him a crown of dominion. Neailyall the great inventions and discoveries were made by men wiio nt the time were looking for something else.

Sail ahead on tlio ojnge of life, keep n comet logbook, brae the tempest, nmku tho best ti-e of the east wind, keep a shaip lookout, and I warrant you lu the uaiuuof the God of Coluinbus that If you do not find Just what )ou want of auearthl) nattiic ) 11 will find heaven, and that will u better What was woiuoiit India, crouching under a tioplcal sun, compared with salu hrioim and imllnni ami almost Illimitable America, and what is all that this Utile world In which wu live can annul 3011 :om pared with that siipeiual lenlin whose (ollage. nut! whose ft nils, and whose tlchiH, nnd who-e popiilatu 11, and whose Tiiiidciirs nii'i hUi woishlp, nnd . l-st Christ nmku up uu nllluencs that tho mo rapturous vocabulary falls to utter, tin: w man's imiiiaiitupk. A not her look at that career of thu admiral of the Santa Maria peisiiades mo that It Is not to bo expected that this world will do Its haul workers full Justice. If any man ought tohnwi been treated well from first to last It was Columbus, lie bad bis faults. Let others depict them.

Coluinbus In lionsl What a spectacle! Tho wife of Hubert Mttriay, after whom Mm ray hill, New Yoik, was named, never bus received pioper ciedlt for detaining at n very 1 Ich luncheon t he ollleers of t he op posing army until Washington nnd his tinny could escape.

In one of the Inst letters which Collim bus sent to bis sou, be w into this lameutu lion: "I rccelvv i!tliiug ot the. in venue due mo. 1 live by borrowing. Little have I piollted V) twenty years of service wllli sue?, toi'm nud perils, since at present I d not own a roof In Spain. If I desire to eai or sleep, I have no recourse but the Inn, nud for the most times have not wherewithal to pay my bill." He not surpilscd, 1113 hearer, It you suffer Injustice. You uie in tliu best of company thu inch ami women wiio wrought mightily for God nnd the world's Improvement, and got foi It chlelly mlsicprcscniatiou and abuso while they lived, nil hough afterward they may have had a long row of carriages nt the obsequies and a gilt edited set of reso lutions unanimously adoptid for the con solation of the bereft household. Do your full duty, expecting 110 appreciation In this world, but full reward In the world to come. And now, while I am thinking ot tills illustrious ship captain of Genoa, let me bespeak higher appreciation for tlio ship captains now In service, many of them this moment on the sen, the lives of tens of thousands of passengers In their keeping. What an awful responsibility Is theirs! They go out through tho Nui rows or start from (jtieenstowu or Souti ainpton or Glasgow not knowing what cyclone or collisions or midnight perils are waiting for them. It requires bravery to face an army of men, but far moru bravery to face an army of Atbmtlc surges led on by hurricanes. A more stupendous scene is not to bo witnessed thaiithatof nshlpcnptnlu walk ing the bridge of a steamer In thu midst of a cyclone! Itemembcr those heroes in 3'otir prayers, and when worn out In tho service, and tliey have to command in ferior craft or return to tho laud and go out of service, do I hem full lienor for what I they once were. Let the ship companies awanl iiiem pensions worthy or what they endured until they start 011 their last voy age ft 0111 this world to the next. Aye, that voyage we must all lake, landsmen us well us seafarers. Let us be suns that wo have the right pilot, and the right chart, and tho right captain and that wo start in the right di lection. It will be to each of us who love the Lord a voyage moio woinleiful for dis covery than (-'mt which Columbus took, for after all wu have heard about that other world wo know not wiieio It is or how It looks, and it will bo us new as Situ Salvador was to thu glorious captain of thu Santa Maria. "Kyo bulb not seen nor car heard, neither have entered into the heart, of man."
