THE NORTHWESTERS. BESSCIIOTRB Jft GIBSON, Ed* and Pub*. LOUP CITY, • • NEB. Vesuvius is becoming more and more EcUve, and' those who live around it are greatly alarmed. Experts are in clined to consider that there is no im mediate danger. The station of the <able road which leads to its summit has been destroyed. Four Engl'.sh travelers, who were making the as cent of the volcano, ventured too far and were overtaken by the lava and seriously burned. There has been a special Issue of war stamps from the Melbourne post office for the benefit of the local patri otic fund. There were only two de nominations, the penny and the two penny, the former selling at a shilling and the latter at a florin. They were y.ll practically sold in advance, £3.SCO being realized. The designs were, agreeably artistic, and represented colonial troops at the front. The Baltimore American says: What Is probably the oldest family Bible In this country, and without doubt the oldest Dutch Bible, is in the possession of Capt. George W. Wood, 1700 Etitaw place. It Is almost three hundred years old, and has been in his family for nearly that length of time. In all probability it was purchased by one of his ancestors soon after it came from the press, for it was brought to this country in 1630. “One-fourth of the lawyers,” said Governor Shaw of Iowa, recently, “can try a case no better today than wheel they began.” “There are also women who can cook no better than on the day they were married, and are told so three times a day." What commence ment oration could better set forth, in co-educational terms, the common principle of failure? Not to advamce, ps Lord Bacon Insisted long ago, is simply to go back. The old cherry tree (wider which Ed gar Allan Poe used to sit, and in whoso shade he is known to have written at least part of “The Raven,” is to be cut down. It stands in the suburb of New York called Fordham, near the little house in which Poe lived, and which is known as the "Poe Cottage.” There are to be street improvements made La the neighborhood, and the cherry tree Is in the way. Wood choppers have the contract for cutting it down, and it will soon be laid low. Dr. E. J. Chauvet is the owner of the tree, and he may have it reserved in the form many relics, or move it bodily to some other spot. The tree has been dead for years, but it still stands. A correspondent of the Troy Times has been making big eyes—as welt be might—over a copy of the Boston Athenaeum of April 15, 1828, which contained a picture, copied from a London paper, representing a veritable automobile a vehicle invented by a man named Gurney, who had taken out a patent for it. It was coach-like in form, was designed for steam pro pulsion, and could be easily controlled by the driver. The description was followed by a prophecy that “if his in vention should reac h Us expected per fection,” its economical character would doubtless “lead to universal patronage.” The expected perfection is not yet; but "a man named Gurney" deserves to be remembered. Many years ago a New Hampshire physician was stunned by the prema ture discharge of a blast. He related afterward the fact that ;n the moment of the explosion he had time for the swift passage of three thoughts through his mind: ‘‘I am a dead man! What will become of my family? We are all in the hands of God!" Curi ously enough, the prince of Wales made use of this last impressive sen ter< e on his first public appearance in Knglaml after the recent attempt at his assassination: "We are all in the hands of God!" What if the conscious ness of helpless dependence which men feel in a crisis of extreme physical danger could become a habitual at titude of trust, aud thus a fountain of joy ? Some weeks ago n den of foxes was discovered on the hank of the Miami river neat' Redbank, by three boys.

Sml Accomplished Thereby nn Etlilenre of It* Dltino Origin—An Answer to the Chenp Agnosticism of the Frcs nit U«J. (Copyrighted. ItOO. by I.ouls Klopsoh.) Text. Matthew vil., 16, "Do men gather grapes of thorns?" Nof in thia country. Not In any country. Thorns stick, thorns lacer ate, but all the thorns ever put togeth er never yielded one cluster of Cataw ba or Isabella grapes. Christ, who was the master of apt and potent il lustration, Is thus setting forth what you and I well know, that you cannot get that which Is pleasant and health ful and good from that which Is bad. If you find a round, large, beautiful cluster of grapes, you know that M was produced by a good grape vine and not from a tangle of Canada thistle. Now, if 1 can show' you that this holy Bible yields good fruit, healthful fruit, grand fruit, splendid fruit, you will come to the conclusion that it is a good Bible, and all the arguments of the skeptic against it. when he tries to show it Is a bad book will go overboard. "Do men gather grapes of thorns?” Can a bad book yield good results? Skeptics with great vehemence declare that the Bible is a cruel book. They read the story of the extermination of the Canaanltes and of all the ancient wars and the history of David and Joshua, and they come to the conclu sion that the Bible is In favor of lac eration and manslaughter and massa cre. Now, a had book will produce a bad result; a cruel book will produce a cruel result. Effect on Children. What has been the effect upon your children of this cruel hook? Or if you do not allow the hook to be read in your household, what has been the ef fect upon the children of other house holds where the word of God is hon ored? Have they, as a result of read ing this cruel book gone forth with a cruel spirit to pull the wings off files and to pinion grasshoppers and to rob birds' nests? A cruel book ought to make cruel people. If they diligently read it and get absorbed with its prin ciples that cause must produce that effect. At what time did you notice that the teachings of this holy Bible created cruelty In the heart and life of George Peabody, of Miss Dix. of Flor ence Nightingale, of John Howard, of John Frederick Oberlin. of Abbot Lau rence? Have you noticed in reading the biography of these people that in proportion as they become friends of the Bible they became enemies to hu manity? Have you not, on the con trary, noticed that all the Institutions of jnercy established or being estab lished were chiefly supported by the friends of this book? There is the hospital In wartime. There are tw'enty Christian women. They are binding up wounds; they are offering cordials; they are kneeling down by the dying praying for their departing spirits. Where does the cruelty crop out? They have been reading the Bible ail their lives. They read it every morning; they read It every night; they rarrv it under their arm when they go Into the hospital. Where does the cruelty of the book crop out? Is It In tho gentleness of their step? is It is. ‘^e cadence.of their voice? Is it in tho sy*spath'‘tlc prayer they ofTer at the Lcdside of the dying? Your common sense tells you that a cruel book must produce cruel results When you can make a rose leaf stab like a bayonet, and when you can manufacture icicles out of the south wind, and when you ran poison your tongue with honey got from blossom ing buckwheat, then you can get cruel ty out of the Bible. 1 hat charge of the skeptics falls flat In the presence of every honest man. The fliarjje of Iiitiilel*. Again, infidels go on and most ve hemently charge that thl3 Bible is an impure book. You all know that an Impure hook produces Impure results. No amount of money could hire you to allow your child to lead an un clean hook. Now, If this ltible be an impure book, where are the victims.’ Your father read It—did it make him a bad man? Your mother read It—did It make Iter a bad woman? Your sis ter fifteen years in heaven died in the faith of this gospel did it despoil her nature? Some say there ate 200,000, 000 copies of the Bible In existence, some say there are 400.000.0u0 copies of the Bible. It I* impossible to get the accurate statistics, but suppose there ate 200,000,000 copies of the Bible ahtoad. this one book read more than any twenty books that the world ever printed, this book abroad for ages, for centuries where ore the victims' Show me I.OOtt.

Again agncsl ■ * go oi still fnilher and they any the Bible is a muss of roklradct.ons and the* put prophet : against prophet evangelist again*! • CangeIts* apostle against ap >*lle. and they say if this be true how th<-n can that be true* Air Mill wbo was a fro ti i of !|,r lilt..,. ,ci,| n,, i .1 , •fed SO bw» tiiffecai readings uf the Scriptures sad !•! not idle important dltferen e out of Jo *»*c only the dlf ftepe that one might •etc t from tha fa t that the te h t me d wa from generation in gc»•»#•■* * sad act vopiad hy a float many kssic And yet I put before you this fact today, that all the Bible writers agree in the four preat doctrines of the Bibi«. What are those four great doctrines? God—good, kind, patient, just, loving, omnipotent. Man—a lost sinner. Two destinies—one for believers, the other for unbelievers: all who accept Christ reaching that home and only those destroyed who destroy themselves: only those who turn their backs upon Christ and come to the precipice and jump off, for God never pushes a man off. he jumps off. Now. in these four great doctrines all the Bible writers agree. Mozart. Beethoven, Handel and Hadyn never wrote more harmonious music than you will find in tills perfect harmony of the word of God, the har mony in providence and in grace. A Re»»»akable Fact. You must remember also that the ' authors of the Bible came from differ ent lands, from different ages and from different centuries. They had no communication with each other; they did not have an idea as to what was the chief design of the Bible, and yet their writings got up from all these different lands and all these different ages and ail these different centuries, coming together, make a perfect har mony in the opinion of the very best scholars of all lands. Is not that a most remarkable fact? Again, infidels vehemently charge that the Bible is an unscientific book. In a former discourse I showed you that there was no collision between science and revelation, and I went from point to point in the discussion, but now lot us have authority in this matter. You and I cannot give forty or fifty or sixty years exclusively to the study of science that some men give. Let us have authority in this matter. Infidelity Bion-Sulted. Now, I might, as Infidels have failed to prove that the Bible is a cruel book, that the Bible is an impure book, that the Bible is a contradictory book, that the Bible is an unscientific hook—I might move a nonsuit in this case of lufldelity, the plaintiff, against Christ ianity, the defendant, but I will not take advantage of the circumstances, for when the skeptic goes on to say that we are a gullible people, when he goes on to say, as he often does-, that the greater the improbability, the mo;e we like to believe it, when he goes on to say that the Bible is made up of a lot of manu scripts, one picked up here and an other there and another from some other place and that the whole thing is an imposition on the credulity of the human race, I must reply to that charge. The Bible is made up of tlie Old Testament and the New Testament. Let us take the New Testament first. Why do I believe it? Why do I take it to my heart? It is because it can be traced back to the divine heart Just as easily as that aisle can be traced to that door, and that aisle to that door. Jerome and Eusebius in the first century and Origen in the second and other writers in the third and fourth centuries gave a list of the New Testa ment writers Just exactly correspond ing with our list, showing that the same New Testament which we have they had in the fourth century and the third century and the second century and the first cen tury. But where did they get the New Testament? They got it from Irenae us. Where did Irenaeus get it? He got it from Polycarp. Where did Poly carp get it? He got it from St. John, who was the personal associate of the Lord Jesus Christ. My graudfather gave a hook to my father, my father gave it to me, I give it to my child. Is there any difficulty in tracing this ; line? On communion day I will start the chalice at that end of the aisle, an6 | the chalice will pass aiong to the oth I er end of the aisle. Will it he difficult to trace the line of that holy chalice? No difficulty at all. This one will say, "I gave it to that one,” and this one will say, "1 gave it to that one.” But it will not tie so long a line as this to trace the New Testament. It is easier , to get at the fact. Rut you say, ‘'Al though this was handed right down in that way, who knows but they were lying Imposters? How can you take , their testimony?” They died for the truth of that hook. Men never die for a lie cheerfully and triumphantly. They were not lying Imposters. They died iu triumph for the truth of that New Testament. "Well,'' says some one, "now I tun ready to believe that the New Testa ment Is front the heart of Christ, but how about the Old Testament? Why do you believe that?” I believe the Old Testament because the prophecies | foretold events hundreds and thou sands of years ahead events which afterward took place How fur can you see ahead’ Two thnionnd years’ Can you see ahead a hundred years? I Can you see ahead five minutes’ No, no! Human prophecy amount* to nothing Here these oid prophet* •toed thousands of years hark, and i they fo ' told events which tins ar i ruratel) tme far mi m the futttra cen ' • tries Su( I'.mc | should stand here aud say to you "Twenty-five hundred and stitv years from now three tulles and a halt from the * it» of li»> »«w j there will be an advent and It wt'i b«» [ IP a t• r|.

All the striking at these chapters only driving them in deeper until they are clinched on the other side with the hammers of eternity. And the book is going to ke*p right on until the fires of the last day are kindled. Some of them will begin on one side and same on the other side of the old book. They will not find a bundle of loose manuscripts easily consumed by the fire. When the fires of the last day are kindled, some will burn on this side, from Genesis toward Revelation, I and others will burn on this side, from Revelation toward Genesis, and in all their way they will nut find a single chapter or a single verse out of place. That will be the first time wo can af ford to do without the Bible. What will be the use of the book of Genesis, descriptive of how the world was made, when the world is destroyed? What will be the use of the prophecies when they are all fulfilled? What will he the use of the evangelistic or Pau line description of Jesus Christ when we see him face to face. What will be the use of his photograph when wa have met him in glory? What will be the use of tho hooks of Revelation, standing, as you will, with your foot on the glassy sea and your hand on the ringing harp and your forehead chap leted with eternal coronation amid the amethystine and twelve gated glories of heaven? The emerald dashing Its green against the beryl and the beryl dashing Us blue against the sapphire and the sapphire throwing its light on the jacinth and the jacinth dashing its fire against the chrysoprase and you and I standing in the chorus of 10,000 sunsets. The HIM** In lli'ftven. But I do not think we will give up ihe Bible even at that time. 1 think we will want the Bible in heaven. I really think the fires of the last day will not consume the last copy, for when you and I get our dead children out of the dust we want to show them Just the passages, just the promises, which comforted us here In the dark day of interment, and we will want to talk over with Christians who have had trials and struggles, and we will want to show them the promises that especially refreshed us. I think we shall have the Bible In heaven. Oh, I want to hear David with hls own voice read. ‘The Lord is my Shep herd.” I want to hear Paul with his own voice read, ‘Thanks be unto God that giveth us the victory.” I want to hear the archangel play Paul's march of the resurrection with the same trumpet with which be awoke the dead. O blessed book, good enough for earth, good enough for heaven. Dear old book—book bespattered with the blood of martyrs who died for its defense—book sprinkled all over with the tears of those who by it were com forted. Put it in the hand of your children on their birthday. Put it on the tabic In the sitting room when you begin to keep house. Put it under your head when you die. Dear old boek! I press It to my heart, I press it to my lips. "Where shall I go?” said a dying Hindoo to the Brahmttic priest to whom he had givpn money to pray for his salvation. ‘‘Where shall I go after I die?” The Brahmitlc priest said. "You will first of all go into a lioiy quadruped." "But," said the dying Hindoo, ‘‘where shall I go then?” “Then you shall go into a singing bird.” “But,” said the dying Hindoo, "where then shall I go?” “Then," said the Brabmitic, "you will go into a beautiful flower.” The dying Hindoo threw up his arms in an agony of soli citation as he said, “But where shall I go last of all?” Thank God, this Bible tells the Hindoo, tells you, tells me, not where 1 shall go today, net where 7 shall go tomorrow, not where I shall i ffr next year, but Where I shall go | last of all! World # .Koiit ICapId Perhaps the fastest reader the world ever knew was Gladstone. He could read and digest a novel of 50,000 words, a scientific work as large or larger, a political treatise or history by merely glancing at the leaves as lie turned them over. His eye and mind seemed to photograph with the rapidity of an instantaneous camera. His eye was the lens, his mind the sensitive plate. In his reading he was omnivorous to the last degree. The most rapid reader we ever had In this country was John <». Carlisle, former senator from Ken tucky, speaker of the house, sei retary of the treasury, and now legal repre sentative of a giant trust, with head quarters iu New York. Joe lilackburn, the most popular man In Kentucky, says that Carlisle is the most remark ! able man he ever saw; that he can tell the contents of a hook without Inok'ng at It, and give the synopsis of un ar gument on being told the name of the ‘ author. *!•«••• >*%«• Th* navy toimiaU of Imn Ohh forty nnd fifty «nmU. tha UrgfHt of whit h I* -t wall-ai irinrnd an>l I i apahla m**#l of J.MMI ton* natuati th* Main- hafcrt.

"What shall (or must) we do.” The questions Is suggested by the command to labor In v. 27. "That we might work the works of God?" The works required by Gcd, im order that we may obtain that bread of which he had been speaking. Mo one can eat for another. 29. “This Is the work of God." What God Mds you do In this matter. "That ye believe on him whom he hath sent." There is no multiplicity of separate acts, but the one great essential underlying all good work- a committing of body and soul to our Lord, who gives the new heart and right spirit, out of which Mow the works of God as naturally as waters flow from a fountain or good fruit grows on good trees. Ills word Is truth; his commands are right; Ids example perfect. 30. "What sign.” The usual word for "miracle” in John. “ShcwoBt thou then, that we may see, and believe." True faith must always have a foundation. 31. "Our fathers did eat manna in the desert (see Ex. 10). "As it Is written.” “Moses proved that he was sent from Goil by giving the people bread from heaven to eat; now what do you do that Is greater than this lo prove that you are the greater prophet. 32. Then Jesus said.” To prove his claims and lo show them thut they thought only of bodily feeding, while the folding of the body by Jesus was but a type of a richer, nobler supply, far more dfflicult to bestow.

The same God who gave you the manna, hut holding u much closer relation to Jesus than to Moses. “The true bread.” Thut which fulfils absolutely.

Fourth Question. 34. “Lord (sir), ever more give us this bread.” They probably had vague Ideas of what this bread was and may have thought of some miracu lous supply, like that furnished the day before, or like the tree of life In Eden; though some may have felt the power ot spiritual hunger and longed for spiritual food. 35. "Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life." 1. By Ids death and atom mi nt Jesus brings spiritual life lo men. lie wakens tile spiritual faculties and senses thut were dead to the higher immortal Interests. He sends the Holy .Spirit, who Imparts and sustains life. “He that cometh lo me ... he that believeth on me.” Coming and believing are the ways In which this living breud is rn pIvmJ, gei. “Ye . . . believe not." You have not eaten this bread arul therefore have not had the experience 1 speak of. 17. "All l lint the Father glvcth me." This Is the divine side of our salvation. “Aral him that comet it to me."
