of the finger of
prophecy, the fin
der cf gen-mogy, the finger of chron
ology, the finger of events all five fin
gers pointir.s in one direction. Christ
Is the overtopping figure of all time.
He is the "vox huraana" in all music,
the gracefulest line in all sculpture, the
most exquisite mingling of lights and
hades in all painting, the acme of all
climaxes, the dome of all cathedral
grandeur, and the peroration of all lan
guage. The Greek alphabet Is made up of
twenty-four letters, and when Christ
compared himself to the first letter
and tha last letter, the Alpha and the
Omega, he appropriated to himself all
the splendors that you can spell out
ither with those two letters or all the
letters between them: "I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the beginning and the
nd."
What does that Scripture mean which
eays of Christ, "He that cometh from
above Is above all?" It means after
you have piled up all Alpine and Him
alayan altitudes, the glory of Christ
fc'ould have to spread its wings and
descend a thousand leagues to touch
those summits. Pelion, a high moun
tain of Thessaly; Ossa, a high moun
tain, and Olympus, a high mountain;
but mythology tells us when the giants
irarred against the gods they piled up
these three mountains, and from the
top of them proposed to scale the heav
ens; but the height was not great
nough, and there was a complete fail
tire. And after all the giants Isaiah
and Paul, prophetic and apostolic
giants; Raphael and Michael Angelo,
artistic giants; cherubim and seraphim
and archangel, celestial giants have
failed to climb to the top of Christ's
glory they might all unite in the words
of Paul, and cry out, "Above all! Above
all!" But Solomon in his text prefers to
call Christ "The Chieftain," and so to
day I hail him.
First, Christ must be chief in our
preaching. There are so many books
cn homiletics scattered through the
country that all laymen, as well as all
clergymen, have made up their minis
what sermons ought to be. That ser
mon is the most effectual which most
pointedly puts forth Christ as the par
don of all sin and the correction of all
evil individual, social, political, na
tional. There is no reason why we
Ehould ring the endless changes on a
few phrases. There are those who think
that if an exhortation or a discourse
have frequent mention of justification,
sanctlfication, covenant of works and
covenant of grace, therefore it must be
profoundly evangelical, while they are
suspicious of a discourse which pre
sents the same truth, but under differ
ent phraseology. Now, I say there is
nothing in all the opulent realm of
Anglo-Saxonism, of all the word treas
ures that we inherited from the Latin
and the Greek and the Indo-European,
but we have a right to marshal it in
religious discussion. Christ sets the
trample. His illustrations were from
the grass, the flowers, the barn-yard
fowl, the crystals of salt, as well as
from the seas and the stars; and we do
not propose in our Sunday-school
teaching and in our pulpit address to
fce put on the limits.
I know that there is a great deal said
In our day against words, as though
they were nothing. They may be mis
used, but they have an imperial power.
They are the bridge between soul and
soul, between Almighty God and the
liuman race. What did God write upon
the tables of stone? Words. What
iid Christ utter on Mount Olivet?
"Words. Out of what did Christ strike
the spark for the Illumination of the
universe? Out of words. "Let there
be light," and light was. Of course,
thought is the cargo, r.nd words are
only the ship; but how fast would your
cargo get on without the ship? What
you need, my friends, in all your work
in the Sabbath-school class, in your
reformatory institutions, and what we
all need, is to enlarge our vocabulary
when we come to speak about God and
Christ and heaven. "We ride a few old
words to death, when there is such
Illimitable source. Shakespeare em
ployed 15,00 different word3 for dra
matic purposes, Milton employed 8,0';0
different words for poetic purposes,
Rufus Choate employed over 11,000 dif
ferent words for legal purposes, but the
most of ua have less than 1,000 words
that we can manage, and that makes
us so stupid.
When we come to set forth the love
of Christ we are going to take the ten
derest phraseology wherever we find It,
and if it has never been used in that
direction before all the more shall we
use it. When we come to Epeak of the
glory of Christ th- Conqueror, we are
going to draw our similes from trium
phal arch and oratorio and everything
grand and stupendous. The French
navy have eighteen flags by which they
eive signal, but those eighteen flags
they can .put into sixty-six different
combinations. And. I have to tell you
that these standards of the cross may
be lifted into combinations infinite and
varieties everlasting. And let me say
to ihts young men who come from the
Kb
theological seminaries into our serv
ices, and are, after awhile, going to
preach Jesus Christ: You will have the
largest liberty and unlimited resource.
You only have to present Christ in your
own way.
Brighter than the light, fresher than
the fountains, deeper than the seas,
are all these gospel themes. Song has
no melody, flowers no sweetness, sunset
sky no color, compared with these glo
rious themes. These harvests of grace
spring up quicker than we can sickle
them. Kindling pulpits with their fire
and producing revolutions with their
' power, lighting up dying beds with
! their glory, they are the sweetest
, thought for the poet, and they are the
' most thrilling illustration for the ora
' tor, and they offer the most intense
scene for the artist, and they are to
the embassador of the sky all enthusi-
; asm; complete pardon for direst guilt;
sweetest comfort for ghastliest agony;
brightest hope for grimmest death;
; grandest resurrection for darkest
! sepulchre. Oh, what a gospel to preach!
, Christ the Chief! His birth, his suffer
i ing, His miracles, His sweat. His tears,
: His blood, His atonement, His interces
1 sion what glorious themes! Do we ex
; ercise faith? Christ is its object. Do
i we have love? It fastens on Jesus.
Have we a fondness for the church?
i It is because Christ died for it. Have
we a hope of heaven? It is becauso
Jesus went there, the herald and the
! forerunner. The royal robe of Deme-
trius was so costly, so beautiful, that
! after he had put it off no one ever dared
! to put it on. But this robe of Christ,
richer than that, the poorest and tha
I weakest and the worst may wear.
"Where sin abounded, grace may much
more abound."
"Oh, my sins, my sins!" said Martin
! Luther to Staupiz, "my sins, my sins!"
The fact is that the brawny German
student had found a Latin bible that
made him quake, and nothing else ever
did make him quake; and when he
found how, through Christ, he was par
doned and saved he wrote to a friend,
saying: "Come over and join us great
and awful sinners, saved by the grace
of God. You . seem to be only a slender
sinner, and you don't much extol the
mercy of God; but we that have been
such very awful sinners praise His
grace the more now that we have been
redeemed." Can it be that you are so
desperately egotistical that you feel
yourself in first-rate spiritual trim, and
that from the root of the hair to the
tip of the toe you are scar
less and immaculate? What you need
is a looking-glass, and here it is in the
Bible. Poor and wretched and miser
able and blind and naked from the
crown of the head to the sole of the
foot, full of wounds and putrifying
sores. No health in us. And then
take the fact .that Christ gathered up
all the notes against us and paid them,
and then offered us the receipt! And
how much we need him in our sor
rows! We are Independent of circum
stances if we have His grace. Why,
He made Paul sing in the dungeon,
and under that grace St. John from
desolate Patmos heard the blast of the
apocalyptic trumpets. After all other
candles have been snuffed out, this is
the light that gets brighter and bright
er unto the perfect day; and after, un
der the hard hoofs of calamity, all the
pools of worldly enjoyment have been
trampled into deep mire, at the foot
of the eternal rock, the Christian, from
the cups of granite, lily-rimmed, puts
out the thirst of his soul.
Again I remark that Christ is chief
in dying alleviations. I have not any
sympathy with the morbidity abroad
about our demise. The Emperor of
Constantinople arranged that on the
day of his coronation the stone mason
should come and consult him about the
tombstone that after awhile he would
need. And there are men who are mon
omaniacal on the subject of departure
from this life by death, and the more
they think of it the less they are pre- I
i a. mi f . .
pareu to go. i nis is an unmanilness
not worthy of you, not worthy of me.
Saladin, the greatest conqueror of
his day, while dying, ordered that the
tunic he had on him be carried after
his death on his spear at the head of
his army, and then the soldier, ever
and anon, should stop and say: "Be
hold all that is left of Saladin, the em
peror and conqueror! Of all the states
he conquered, of all the wealth he
accumulated, nothing did he retain but
this shroud." I have no sympathy with
such behavior, or such absurd demon
stration, or with much that we hear
uttered in regard to departure from
this life to the next. There is a com
monsensical idea on this subject that
j'ou need to consider there are only
two styles of departure. A thousand
feet underground, by light of torch,
tolling H a miner's shaft, a ledge of
rock may fall upon us, and we may die
a miner's death. Far out at sea, fall
ing from the slippery ratlines and
broken on the hilliards, we may die a
sailor's death. On mission of mercy in
hospital, amid broken bones and reek
ing leprosies and raging fevers.we may
die a philanthropist's death. On tho
field of battle, serving God and our
country, slugs through the heart, the
gun carriage may roll over us, and we
may die a patriot's death. But, after
all, there are only two styles of depart
ure the death of the righteous and the
death of the wicked and we all want
to die the former.
God grant that when that hour comes
you may be at home. You want the
hand of your kindred in your hand.
You want your children to surround
you. You want the light on your pil
low from eyes that have long reflected
your love. You want your room still.
You do not want any curious strangers
standing around watching you. You
want your kindred from afar to hear
your last prayer. I think that is the
wish of all of us. But is that all? Can
earthly friends hold us up when the
billows of death come up to the girdle?
Can human voice charm open heaven's
gate? Can human hand pilot vs
through the narrows pi death into
heaven's harbor? Can any earthly
friendship shield us from the arrows
of death, and in the hour when Satan
shall practice upon us his infernal arch
ery? No, no, no, no! Alas! poor soul,
if that is all. Better die in the wilder
ness, far from tree shadow and from
fountain, alone, vultures circling
through the air waiting for our body,
unknown to men, and to have no bur
ial, if only Christ could say through
the solitudes, "I will never leave thee,
I will never forsake thee." From that
pillow of stone" a ladder would soar
heavenward, angels coming and going;
and across the solitude and the barren
ness would come the sweet notes of
heavenly minstrelsy.
Gordon Hall, far from home, dying
in door of a heathen temple, said: "Glo
ry to thee, O God!" What did dying
Wilberforce say to his wife? "Come
and sit beside me, and let us talk of
heaven. I never knew what happiness
was until I found Christ." What did
dying Hannah More say? "To go to
heaven, think what that is! To go to
Christ, who died that I might live!
Oh, the love of Christ, tho love of
Christ!" What did Toplady, the great
hymn-maker, say in his last hour?
"Who can measure the depths of the
third heaven? Oh, the sunshine that
fills my soul! I shall soon be gone, for
surely no one can live in this world
after such glories as God has manifest
ed to my soul." '
So, also, Christ is chief in heaven.
The Bible distinctly says that Christ
is the chief theme of the celestial
ascription, all the thrones facing His
throne, all the palms waved before His
face, all the crowns down at His feet.
Cherubim to cherubim, seraphim to
seraphim, redeemed spirit to redeemed
spirit, shall recite the Savior's earthly
sacrifice.
Stand on some high hill of heaven,
and in all the radiant sweep the most
glorious object will be Jesus. Myriads
gazing on the scars of Hi3 suffering, in
silence first, afterward breaking forth
Into acclamation. The martyrs, all the
purer for the flames through which
they passed, will say, "This is the Je
sus for whom we died." The apostles,
all the happier for the shipwreck and
the scourging through which they
went, will say, "This is the Jesus, whom
we preached at Corinth, and at Cappa
docia, and at Antloch, and at Jerusa
lem." Little children clad in white will
say, "This is the Jesus who took us in
His arms and blessed us. and, when
the storms of the world were too cold
and loud, brought us into this beauti
ful place." The multitude of the bereft
will say, "This is the Jesus who com
forted us whea our heart broke." Many
who wandered clear off from God and
plunged into vagabondism, but were
saved by grace, will say, "This is the
Jesus who pardoned us. We were lost
on the mountains, and He brought
us home. We were guilty, and He J
made us white as snow." Mercy bound
less, grace unparalleled. And then, aft
er each one has recited his peculiar
deliverances and peculiar mercies, re
cited them as by solo, all the voices j
will come together in a great chorus,
which will make the arches echo and j
re-echo with the eternal reverberation
of triumph.
Edward I. was so anxious to go to the
Holy Land that when he was about to
expire he bequeathed flGO.OOO to have
his heart, after his decease, taken to
the Holy Land, in Asia Minor, and his
request was complied with. But there
are hundreds to-day whose hearts are
already in the Holy Land of heaven.
Where your treasures are, there are
your hearts also. Quaint John Bunyan
caught a glimpse of that place, and In
his quaint way said: "And I heard In
my dream, and lo! the bells of the city
rang again for joy; and as they opened
the gates to let in the men I looked in
after them, and lo! the city shone like
the sun, and there were streets of gold,
and the men walked on them, harps
in their hands, to ring praises withal,
and after that they shut up the gates
which when I had seen I wished my
self among them!"

Cowpcr. Believe me, sir, those who attempt to
level never equalize. In all societies
consisting of various descriptions of cit
izens, some description must be upper
most. The levelers, therefore, only'
change and pervert the natural order
of things; they load the edifice of soci
ety by setting up in the air what the
solidity of the structure requires to be
on the ground. Burke.
It Is a good plan, with a young person
of a character to be much affected by
ludicrous and absurd representations,
to show him plainly, by examples, that
there is nothing which may not be bo
represented. He will hardly need to be
told that everything is not a mere joke,
and he may thus be secured from fall
ing into a contempt of those particular
things which he may at any time hap
pen to find so treated. Whately.
Cicero says that "to study philosophy
is nothing but to prepare a man's self
to die." The reason of which is, because
study and contemplation do in some
6ort withdraw from us and deprive us of
our souls, and employ it separately from
the body, which is a kind of learning to
die, and a resemblance of death; or else
because all the wisdom and reasoning
in the world does in the end conclude In
this point, to teach us not to fea.r to die.

S. And on the other side of Jordan, by
Jericho, eastward, they assigned Bez
zer in the wilderness upon the plain
outside of the tribe of Reuben, and
Ramath, in Gilead, out of the tribe of
Gad, and Gulan, in Bashan. out of the
tribe of Manasseh.
9. These were the cities appointed for
all the children of Israel, and for the
stranger that sojourneth among them,
that w'hosoever kllleth any person at
unawares might flee thither and not
die by the hand of the avenger of blood
until he stood before the congregation.
A modern object lesson to be derived
from the above section Is: "Christ is
the True City of Refuge."
Christ is the city of refuge because
God has so appointed. To go to him in
volves repentance of sin, forsaking of
sin, the choice of God and goodness as
our portion, a new heart, and a new
nature of love. It brings us within
every heavenly power that can- save
from sin, every high motive, the pres
ence of the Holy Spirit. Christ is not
an arbitrary, but a necessary city of
refuge from sin.
Third. Christ Is made as easy of ac
cess as possible. He is everywhere
present. The conditions of salvation
are as simple and easy as it is possible
to make them. Sabbaths, churches,
meetings, invitations from Christians
bring Christ as near as possible to every
soul.
Fourth. God has done all he can to
aid and draw men to Jesus. Now, be
loved, I think this is a picture of the
road to Christ Jesus. (See above, in
No. 2, under facts about the cities of
refuge.) It is no roundabout road of
the law; it is no obeying this, that, and
the other; it is a straight road: "Believe
and live." It Is a road so hard that no
self-righteous man can ever tread it;
but it is a road so easy that every sin
ner who knows himself to be a sinner
might by It find his way to Christ and
heaven. And, lest they should be mis
taken, God has sent me and my breth
ren in the ministry to be like hand
posts in the way, to point poor sinners
to Jesus; and we desire ever to have on
our lips the cry, "Refuge, refuge, ref
uge." Sinner, that Is the way; walk
therein, and be thou saved. Spurgeon '

71 H .
! THE WHITE HEN'S GUINEAS.
A lleasant Little Episode of Poultry
Yard I.lfe.
When the old white hen came off
with fifteen chirpy little guineas in
stead of her accustomed brood of chicks
she took to them most kindly, and made
as usual, a fond, busy mother. Her lit
tle pink-toed charges proved very ten
der and hard to rais, and at what
might be termed the adolescent stage
in poultry life, her brood of fifteen had
been reduced to three. This trio, how
ever, lavished an unusual amount of af
fection on the old hen, and she repaid
it with a zealous and prolonged care,
which she had never bestowed on her
more familiar offspring. After several
fruitless attempts to wean the guineas,
she philosophically submitted to the in
evitable, and became as constant to the
trio as they were to her, and we often
spoke of their harmony and content.
One morning, not long since, I was dis
turbed by a continuous noise from the
guineas under the window, and at last
I noted that I could detect no answer
ing cluck from the mother-hen. When
I went out into the yard to investigate
I found the old hen lying stiff and cold
almost beneath my window, while the
guineas hovered near, no doubt, puz
zieu by her silence and her lack of mo
lion. After the hen was removed,
though they were now well-nigh grown,
they wandered about noisily and hope
lessly, and for several days seemed
lost. Whether or not they have found a
resemblance to the mother, I cannot
say, but they have at last wilfully at
tached themselves to another white
hen, and I cannot but believe that in
time she must submit to the adoption,
in spite of her efforts to rid herself of
the responsibility so deliberately im
posed upon her. The guineas evidently
will accept no rebuff. They permit her
neither to dodge nor desert them. When
she attempts to run off from them, they
scamper after her, and, if. in despera
tion, she flies aloft and seeks some airy
perch, they iar.go themselves beneath,
crane their necks in her direction, and
send up a plaintive "pot-rack" of ap
peal. Right there they will remain,
and keep up their chorus until the foster-mother,
touched into relenting or
harassed by the restless persistence of
her self-infiicted charges, is con
strained to fly down and accept their
attachment. E. A. M.

pet a barrel of the cheapest salt, or a
sack of it, at the prk-e of SI. or less,
and scatter it over the weeds after a
shower, or when the dew is on the

the walk be graveled or made of
