That which contains tho greatest im
portance, that which encloses tho most
tremendous opportunities, that which of
carthlv things is most watched hy other
w orlds, that which has l.-atinr against
its two fides all tho eternities, is the
cradle. Tho ravc U nothing in import

pullv that wc step across in a second, Lut
tho cradle has within it a new eternity,

and cities, one day was found floating

and warm, and iu blue eyes looking into
tho blue of tho open heavens. It was
mentioned as something extraordinary,

Everv Sal .bath afternoon read him a
Bible story? That is important, but not

You cannot frhako off tho influences of
those praj-ers long ago offered, or of
those kind admonition. You cannot
ranks them go away, and you feel like
paying: "Father, what are you doing
here? Mother, why do yon bother mo
with suggestions of those olden iiinor?"
I'ut they will not go away. They will
push you Uick from your eil paths,
though they have to conio down from
tiicir chining homos in heaven and i-tand

scorched of the fiery blast, and with tln ir
hand on your shoulder, and their breath
on your brow, and their eyes looking
straight into yours, they ill say: "Wo
have come to take you homo, O,
son of many nnxietie:!-' At la't
that young man turns through
tho consecutive influenced of a pious
parentage, w ho out of prayers and fidel
ities innumerable, made a chain. That
is the chain that puils mightily this
morning on live hundred of you. You
may bo too proud to shed a tear, and
you may, to convince others of your im
porlurhabihty, unile to your ffiend le
t.ide urn, but there is not s-.u much xver
in an Alpine avalanche after it has
ylipj'ed for a thousand feet ai d having
struck a loiver clilf is taking its second
bound for fifteen hundred feet more of
plunge, as there i t power in the chain
that pulls you this moment toward God
and C'hri".t and heaven. Oh! the
almighty pull of the long chain of early
gracious influence!
Mat nil Tropin between thirty and forty
years of ago, yes, between forty and
fifty aye, lotweeii lift' and sixty years,
and all septuagenarians as well, need a
surrounding conjunction of good inilu
enccrt. In Sing Sing, Auburn, Muta
mensing, and all tlio other great prisons,
are men and womr-n who v. tnt wrong in
middle life and old ago. We need around
trj a cordon of good influence. We for
ge t to apply the well known rule that a
ohrdn is no stronger than Its weakest
li .k. If the chain be made up of
l.Ol'O links and 'j'J'J arc strong, but one
is weak, the chain will be in danger of
breaking at that one weak link. Wo
may lie strong in a thousand excellences
at ;d yet have one weakness which eji
d:Migers v.. T'iwt is the reason that we
sometimes see men distinguished, for a
v. holo round of virtues collapse and go
down. The weak link in tho otherwise
out chf;in gave way under the pressure.
The first chain bridge was built in
Scotland. WTnlter Scott tells how the
French imitated it in a bridge across tho
river Seine. But there was ono weak
point in that chain bridge. There was a
middlo lxjlt that was of poor material,
but they did not know how much de
ponded on that middle bolt of the chain
bridge. On the opening day a proces
sion started, led on by the builder of tho
bridge: and w hen tho might- weight of
the procession was fairly on it the bridge
broke and precipitated tho multitudes.
The bridge was idl right except in that
middle bolt. So the bridge of character
may lo made up of mighty links strong
enough to hold a mountain; but if there
be ono weak spot, that ono point un
locked after may Ijo the destruc
tion of everything. And what multi
tudes have gone down for all time and all
eternity because in the chain bridge of
their character there was kicking a strong
middle bolt. Ho had but one fault and
that was avarice; hence, forgery. II
had l ut ono fault and thatv.-as a burning
thirst for intoxicants; hence, his fatal
debauch. She had but ono fault and
that an inordinate fondness for dress,
and hence her own and her husband's
Inuikrupror. She had but one fault and
that a quick temper; hence the disgrace
ful outburst. What we all want is to
'lave put around us a strong chain of
ooJ influences. Christaia association is
:i link. Good literature is a link. Church
membership is a link. Habit of prayer
is a link. Scripture research is a link.
Faith in God is a link. Put together all
these influences. Make a chain!
Mcst excellent is it for U3 to get into
company better than ourselves. If we are
given Jo telling vile stories lotus put- our
selves among ihtiso who will not abide
?uch utterance. If we are stingy let us
put ourselves among the charitable. If
we are morose let us put ourselves among
tl-. good natured. Jf we are given to
tittle-tattle let us put ourselves among
ihofC who speak no ill of their neighbors.
If wo are despondent let tis put ourselves
among those who make tho Ix-stot tilings.
If evil is ectfitagious, I am glad to say that
tood is also catching. People co up into
the hill country for physical health; so
if you would le strong in your
t-c- .get yourself np off tho low
lands into the altitudes of high moral
association. For many cf the circum
stances of our life we are not responsible.
For our parentage we are not responsible.
Fcr tho place of our nativity, not re
sponsiLle; for our features, our stature,
cur color, not responsible; for the family
relation in which we were Lorn fr our
natural tastes, fcr our mental character,
not responsible But wo are responsible
for the associates that we choose and the
moral influences under which we put
curselves. Character seeks an equilib
rium. A. B. is a good man. Y. Z. i
a liad man. Let them now voluntarily
choose each ot Iter's society. A. B. will
!oc a part of his "goodness and Y. Z. a
pai t of his badness, and they will grad
ually approach each other in character
and" will finally 6tand on the same
level. One of the old painters re
fused to look at poor pictures, be
cause he said it danuged his style. A
musician cannot afford to dwell among
eliscords, nor can a writer aitortl to pe
ruse books of inferior style, nor an arch
itect walk out among disproportioned
structures. And np man or woman was
ever so good as to be able to afford to
choose evil associations. Therefore I
said, have it a rule of your life to go
among those better than yourselves.
Caunot find them? Then what a pink of
perfection you must bet When was your
character completed? "VYhat a misfort
une for the saintly and angelic of heaven
that they are not enjoying the improving
influence of your society! Ah, if you
' cannot find those better than yourself, i
is because you are Ignorant of yourself.
Woe unto you. Scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!
But, as I remarked in the opening, in
, rxred and in all sty 1m of literature a
chain means not only adornment and
royalty of nature, hut Bometimes cap
tivity. And I 6upot"there are thoso in
that sense deliberately and persistently
making a chain. Now here is a young
man of good physical health, good man
ners and good education. How shall ho
put togotlicr enough links to make a
chain for the down hill road? I will
give him some directions. First let
him smoke. If he cannot stf.nd
cigars let him try cigarettes. I think
cigarettes will help him on this road a
little more rapidly because the doctors
say there is more joison in them, and so
ho will lie heljxil along faster, and I have
tho more confidence in proponing this
because alout fifty of the first young
men of Brooklyn during tho last year
were, according to the doctors' report,
killed by cigarettes. Ix l. him drink light
wines first, or ale or lager, and gradually
he will be able to take something stronger,
and as all styles of strong drink are more
and more adulterated, his progress will
be facilitated. With the old time drinks
a man seldom got delirium tremens be
fore o() or -10 years of age; now he can
get the madness by the time he
is IS. Ix-t him play cards, enough
money put up always to add
interest to the game. If the father and
mother will play with him that will help
by way of countenancing ihe habit. And
it will lie such a pleasant thing to think
over in the day of judgment when the
parents give account for tho elevated
manner in which the- have reared their
children. Every pleasant Sunday after
noon take a carriage ride and stop at tho
hotels on either side the road for Sab
bath refreshments. Do not let the
old fogy prejudices against Sabbath
breaking dominate you. nave a
membership in some club whero
libertines go and tell about their
victorious sins, and laugh na loud as any
of them in derision of thoso who belong
to the same sex as your sister and mother.
Pitch your Bible overboard as old fash
ioned and fit only for women and chil
dren. Read all the magazine articles that
put Christianity at disadvantage, and go
to hear all the lectures that malign Christ,
who, they say, instead of being the
Mighty Ono he pretended to be, was an
imjostor and the imp.'anter of a great
delusion. Go, at first out of curiosity, to
see all tho houses of dissipation and then
go because you havo felc tho thrall of
their fascination. Getting along splen
didly now!
It mo see what further can I suggest
in that direction. Become more defiant
of all decency, more loud mouthed in your
atheism, mote thoroughly alcoholized,
and instead of the small stakes that will
do well enough for games of chanco in a
ladies' parlor, put up something worthy,
put up more, put up all you have. Well
done! You have succeeded, You have
made a chain the tobacco habit one link,
the rum habit one link, the impure club
another link, infidelity another link. Sab
bath desecration another link, unclean
ness another link, and altogether they
make a chain. And so there is a chain
on your hand and a chain on your foot
and a chain on your tongue and a
chain on your eye and a chain
on your brain and a chain on your
properly and a chain on your soul. Some
day you wake up and you say: ,-I am
tired of this, and I am going to get loose
from this shackle." You pound away
with the hammer of good resolution, but
cannot break the thrall. Your friends
join you in a conspiracy of help, but fall
exhausted in the unavailing attempt.
Now you begin, and with the w rithing
cf a Laocooa, to ry to break away, and
fhc muscles are distended, and the gtTt
beads of perspiration dot; yoiir forehead,
and the eyes stand, out from the sockets,
and w itl all. the o-orieentered energies of
body, mind and soul you attempt to get
loose, but have only made tho chain 6ink
deeper. All the devils that encarnp in the
wine flask and the ruin jug and tho de
canterfor each pno has a devil pf its ow n
como put and sit around you and chat
ter. In some midnight 5'ou spring from
your couch and cry: "I am fast. O God,
let me loose ! O ye powers of darkness, let
me loose! Father and mother and broth
ers and sisters, help me to get loose!"
And you turn your prayer tQ blasphemy
and then ypur blasphemy into prayer,
anc io all tlio din and uproar there is
piayed an accompaniment, not an accom
panient by key and pedal, but tho ac
companiment is rattle and the rattla Is
that of a chain, For live, years, for ten
years, for twenty years, you have been
making a chain.
But hero J ta ft step higher and tell
yoq there is a power that can break any
chain, chain of body, chain of mind,
chain of soul. The fettere that the
hammer of the Gospel have broken
off, if piled together, would. PmkQ O
mountain. The captives whom Christ
has set free, if stood side by side, would
mako an army. Quicker tlian a ship
chaudler's furnace ever melted a cable,
quicker than a key ever unlocked a hand
cuff, quicker than the bayonets of revo
lution pried ppen the Bastile, you toay
be liberated and made a freo eon or- a
free daughter of God. You have only
to choose between serfdom and emanci
pation, between a chain and a coronet,
between Satan and God. Make-up your
mind and raake it up quick. When the
king of Sparta had crossed the Hellespont
and was about to march hrough Thrace,
he sent word tot the people in tho differ
ent regions asking them whether he
should march through their countries as
a friend or an enemy. 'By all means as 1
a friend," answered most of the regions;
but tho king of Macedon replied: '-'J will J
take time to consider t, ", VThen," said j
the king pf Sparta, 'let liim consider it,
but meantime we march we march.''
So Christ, our King, give3 us our choice
between his friendship and. his frown,
and many of us have long, been consider-:
ing what we had better do; bufc mean
time he marches on, and our opportuni
ties are marching by. And we shall 'be
the loving subjects of his reign or the
victims of our own obduracy. So I urge
you to precipitancy rather than slow de- !
liberation, and I write all over jour
soul the words of Christ saw inscribed
on the monument pf Princess Elizabeth
in the Isle of Wight, the words to which
her index finger pointed in the open i
Bible when she was found dead in her !
bed after a lifetime of trouble: 'Como
unto me, all ye "who are weary and
heavy laden, and I wiil give you rest."
Is there a drunkard here? You may, by
the Saviour'a grace, have that fire of
thirst utterly extinguished. Is there a
defrauder here! You maybe made a
ialnt. Is there a libertino here? Yen
may bo made as puro as ' the light.
When a minister in an outdoor meeting
ia Scotland was eulogizing goodniv,
there wero hanging around tho edge of
the audienco some of the most depraved
men and women, and the minister said
nothing about mercy for prodigals. And
a depraved woman cried out: "Your
ropo is not long enough for tho like of
us." Blessed bo God, our Gospel can
fathom the deepest depths and roach to
farthest wanderings, end here is a rope
that is long enough to rescuo tho worst:
"Whosoever will."
But w hy take extreme cases, when vro
nil havo been or are now the captives of
sin and death? And wo may through
the great Emancipator drop our shackle.;
and take a throne. You have looked at
your hand and arm only as being useful
now, and a curious piece of anatomy,
but there is something aliout your hand
and arm that makes mo think they :.ro
an undeveloped wing. And if you
would know what possibilities are sug
gested by that, ask the eagle that has
looked closo into tho eye cf tho noonday
sun; or ask the albatross that has struck
it3 claw into the black locks of tlio tem
pest; or ask the condor that this morn
ing is descending to tho highest peak of
Chimborazo. Your right hand and arm
and your left hand and arm, two un
developed wings, better get ready for tho
empyrean.
Rise, my soul, nnd stretch thy wing1,
Tby better jiortion trace.
There have been chains famous in tho
world's history, such as tho chain which
fastened the prisoner of Chi?!o.i t. ilie
jillar, into the staple of which I havo
thrust my hand, on the isolated rock of
tho Lake of Geneva; such as the chain
which tho Russian exile clanks on his
way to tho mines of Siberia; such as tho
chain which Zenobia, tho captive queen,
wore when brought into tho presenco of
Aurelian. Aye, there have been races
in chains, and nations in chains, and
there has been a world in chains; but,
thank God, the last ono of them shall
bo broken, and under the lilx?rating
power cf the omnipotent Gosjel tho
shackles shall fall from tho last neck and
tho last arm and tho last foot. But these
shattered fetters shall all be gathered up
again from the dungeons and the work
houses and the mines and the rivers and
the fields, and they shall again lio w elded
and again strung link to link, and pol
ished and transformed until thta world,
which has wandered off and leen a
recreant world and a lost world, shall bj
that chain ho lifted and hung to the
throne of God, no longer the iron chain
of oppression, but tho golden chain of
redeeming love. There let this old
ransomed world 6wing forever! Koil
on, ye years, roll on, yo days, roll on, ye
hours, and hasten the glorious consummation!
Churches in tho United States,
The Independent last year published
statistics showing tho numerical strength
of tho united churches of this country
to be a little over 19,000,000. It recently
gave its estimate for the present yene.
exhibiting an increase of 774,80 i, the
exact figures representing 138.8S3
churches, 94,4.17 Piinisters, and 1 9,780
023 communicants variously '.llvide'd
among sixty-three donomtions. Of
theso tho liotnan Catholic church is,
of courso, the strongest, with 7,200,
000. Methodism, comprising fourteen
branches, comes next with 4,099,520
communicants, an increaso of 166,871.
Tho Baptists, including thirteen different
sects, follow with 3,971,CS5 members,
an increaso of 244,478. The Presbyte
rians, consisting of nino branches, are
next in order with 1,136,083 members,
a net gain of 54,249, The Congrega
tionalista nuipber 437,584, and have
gained 21,205 members. Tho Episcopa
lians include 440,783, having gained
20,251 communicants.
Unfortunately, implicit reliance canncrS
be placed npon theso estimates, which
are given more to indulge tho growing
propensity for numbering the host and
to cheer tho hearts of tho faithful than as
examples cf scientific accuracy. There
is no uniform method of enumeration of
members among the churches. Tho year
books are published at different periods
of the year, and soma denominations
make no returns whatever. The diffi
culty pf collecting religious statistics is
so. great that, as ia well known, tho cen
sus authorities of 1880 havo not yet been
able to publish that part of their report.
Until that appears we shall havo no im
partial estimate of tho strength of
churches in this country It seems dif
ficult to believe that nearly one-third of
the people aro members of the church,
but tho difficulty is partly removed by
remembering that the large 1 Ionian
Catholic population is almost entirely
upon the communicant list of that
church. Its members, however, can
pnly be estimated. According to Tho
Independent's estimate it has gained
200,000 during the lafet year; but the
gain from emigration has undoubtedly
been moro than this, to say nothing of
the natural increase. Methodism last
year claimed an increase of 500,000; this
year it falls below tho Baptist denomina
tion. rt-'U the whole tho gains claimed
are nSrranreasonable. A gain of 774,
861 upon a membership last year of 19,
015, 403 is only a gain of 4 per cent. This
Is le3 than the increasa of population,
and ought not to bo regarded as a satis
factory result, when, the many agencies
and activities, maintained by the church
aro considered. Detroit Free Press.
The Slanc of Olden Times,
In the days of old the following lan
guage was used by coachmen, guards,
ostlers, boots, etc,, all along the coach
ing roads: An empty coach was called a
mad woman; asking passengers for
money, kicking them ; a passenger not
on the bill, a shoulder stick, a bit of fish,
or a thort one; a passenger who paid
shabbily, a ecaly one; not paying at all,
tipping the double; a glass of spirits, a
flash o h'ghtning, a drop of short, or
don't stop to mix it; a white hat, a billy
shallow, a kicking horse, a miller; gal
loping horses, springing them; driving
near to anything, feather edging it; a
coach, a drag, reins, ribbons; horses, cat
tle: whip, a tool; a good coaclunan, an
artist; a bad one, a spoon, or a lame
hand; one just got to work, a fresh
catched one. New York Sun. .
