BIMELECH is
c name maladorot

a lighthouse fifteen miles awa :
not placed there for adornmcn
but to tell mariners to stand off frog
that dangerous point. So all the trot
bound coast of moral danger is marke
with Saul , and Herod , and Ilehoboan
and Jezebel , and Abimelech. These ba
people are mentloned in the Bible nc
only as warnings , but because ther
were sometimes flashes of good conduc
in their lives worthy of imitation. Go
sometimes drives a very straight na
with a very poor hammer.
The city of Shechem had to be taker
and Abimelech and his men were to d
it. I see the dust rolling up from the ]
excited march. I hear the shouting c
the captains and the yell of the beseig
ers. The swords clack sharply on th
parrying shields , and the vociferatto
of two armies in death grapple Is hot
rible to hear. The battle goes on a' '
day ; and as the sun is setting Abimc
Lech and his army cry : "Surrender !
to the beaten foe. And , unable longe
to resist , the city of Shechem falls ; an
there are pools of blood and dissevere
limbs , and glazed eyes looking up be
gingly for mercy that war never show :
and dying soldiers with their head o ;
the lap of mother , or wife , or sister
who have come out for the last office
of kindness and affection ; and a groa

cause there is no spot for it to rest , s
full is the place of other groans.
city wounded ! A city dying ! A cit ;
dead ! Wail for Shechem , all ye wh
know the horrors of a sacked town ,
As I look over the city , I can find one ;
one building standing , and that is th
temple of the god BerIth. Some sol
diers outside of the city in a towel
finding that they can no longer defen
Shechem , now begin to look out fo
their own personal safety , and they fl ;
to this temple of Berith. They go with
in the door , shut it , and they say : "Not
we arc safe. Abimelech has taken th
whole city , but he cannot take this tern
pie of Berith. Here we shall be undo
the protection of the gods. " 0 Berith
the god ! do your best now for these ref
ogees. If you have eyes , pity them
If you have hands , help them. If yol
have thunderbolts , strike for them
But how shall Abimelech and his arm :
take this temple of Berith and the men
who are here fortified ? Will they d
it with sword ? Nay. Will they do i
with spear ? Nay. With battering
ram , rolled up by hundred-armel
strength crashing against the walls'
Nay. Abimelech marches his men ti
a wood in Zalmon. With his axe hi
hews off a limb of a tree , and puts tha
limb upon his own shoulder , and then
he says to his men : "You do the same. '
They are obedient to their commander
There is a struggle as to who shall have
axes. The whole wood is full of bend
lug boughs , and the crackling and the
hacking , and the cutting , until every
one of the host has the limb of a tree
cut down , and not only that , but lea :
put it on his shoulder just as Abimeleci
showed him how. Are these men al
armed with the tree branch ? The re
ply comes "All armed : And the3
march on. Oh , what a strange army
with that strange equipment ! The3
come up to the foot of the temple at
Berith , and Abimelech takes his limb o
a tree and throws it down ; and the firs )
platoon of soldiers come up and they
throw down their branches ; and the
second platoon , and the third , until al'
tround about the temple of Berith therE
Ls a pile of tree branches. The Shech
smites look out from the window of the
Lemple upon what seems to them childish -
ish play on the part of their enemies ,
But soon the flints .re struck , and the
; parks begin to kindle the brush , and
: he flame comes up all through the pile ;
rnd the red elements leap to the case-
nent , and the woodwork begins tc
blaze , and one arm of flame is thrown
Ip on the right side of the temple , and
mother arm of flame is thrown up on
Line left side of the temple , until they
: lasp their lurid palms under the wild
sight sky , and the cry of "Fire ! " with-
n , and "Fire ! " without , announces the
: error , and the strangulation , and the
loom of the Shechemites , and the corn-
lete overthrow of the temple of the
; od BerIth. Then there went up a
shout , long and loud , from the stout
ungs and swarthy chests of Abimelech
tnd his men , as they stood amid the
tshes and the dust crying : "Victory !
rictory ! "
Now I learn first from this subject ,
; he folly of depenFling upon any one
'orm ' of tactics in anything we have , to
lo for this world or for God. Look
verthe weaponry of olden times jave-
ins , battle-axes , habergeons , and show
ne a single weapon with which Abim-
llech and his men could have gained
uch complete triumph. It is. no easy
sting to take a temple thus armed. I
rave seen a house where ; during revo-
utionary times , a man and his wife
: ept back tt whole regiment hour after
tour , because they were inside the
Louse , and the assaulting soldiers were
utside the house. Yet hero Abimelech
ud his army come up , they xurround

this temple , and they capture it wit't
out the loss of a single man on the pa
of Abimelech , although I suppose son
of the old Israelittsh heroes told Abir
elech : "You are only going up there
be cut to pieces. " Yet you are willir
to testify to-day that by no other mot
-certainly not by ordinary modes
could that temple so easilysothorongh

I announce myself in favor of any pla

Still further , I learn from this sub

told his men to go and get the bough :

Still further , I learn from this sub-
ect the advantage of concerted action.

een accomplished , or if ten , twenty , or
hirty men had gone ; but when all the
xes are lifted and all the sharp edges

rere twenty sailors sound asleep in the

fty thousand men belonging to the re-

ur boats to get over to the golden

Ither in the prow or in the stern ,
crapped in our striped shawl , holding
big-handled sunshade , while others
re blistered in the heat , and pull until
be oar-locks groan , and the blades
end till they snap. Oh'you religious
eepy-heads , wake up ! You have lain
1 long in one place that the ants and
tterpillars have begun to crawl over
on ! What do you know ; my brother ,
bout a living Gospel made to storm the
t I1
)
world ? A'ow'my Idea of a Christie
is a man on flre with zeal for God ; at
if your pulse ordinarily beats six ]
times a minute when you * iink of othl
themes , and talk about other themes ,
your pulse does not go up to sevent :
five or eighty when you come to tal
about Christ and heaven , it is becaw
you do not know the one , and have
poor chance of getting to the other.
In a former chargeone SundayI too

I laid them on the pulpit and opens
them , and said : "Brethren , here al

I would read the names , for at that tire
some of them were seep in the won

Christ to-day should bring the churc
records into the pulpit and read , of
what a flutter there would be ! Then
would not be fans enough in church i

every church record to be-merely
muster-roll of the Lord's army ; and tll
reading of it should reveal where ever

Still further , I learn from tints sul
jest the danger of false refuges. A
soon as then Shechemites got into th
temple , they thought they were safe
They said : "Berith will take care c
us. Abimelech may batter dojo
everything else ; he can not batter dow
this temple where we are now hid.
But very soon they heard the timber
crackling , and they were smothere
with smoke , and they miserably die )
I suppose every person in this audienc
this moment is stepping , into some kin
cf refuge. Here you step in tine tows
of goad works. You say : "I slnail b
safe in this refuge. " The battlement
are adorned ; the steps are varnished
on the wall are pictures of all the ant
fering you have alleviated , and all th
schools you have established , and al
the fine things you have done. Up ii
that tower you feel you are safe. Bu
hear you not the tramp of your unpar
doned sins all around the tower ? The ;
each have a match. You are kindlin ;
the combustible material. You fee
the heat and the suffocation. Oh , ma ;
you leap in time , the Gospel declaring
By the deeds of the law shall no fiesl

"Well , " you say , "I have been drivel
out of that tower ; where shall I go ? '
Step into this tower of indifferencE
You say : "If this tower is attacked , I
will be a great while before it is taken. '
You feel at ease. But there is an Abim

Death and his forces are gatherin ;
