And I rejoice to know that : the ! up- : right piece of wood I nailed to a trans verse piece has become the symbol not more of suffering than of victory. It Is of Christ the conqueror that my text Bpoalcs. As a kingly warrior , having subdued \ an empire , might divide the palaces : and mansions and cities and valleys and mountains among his offi- cers , EO Christ is going to divide up nil the earth and all the heavens among liia people and you I will have to take our share if we are strong in faith and j strong in our Christian loyalty for my text declares it : "He shall divide the spoil ( with the strong. " The capture of this : round planet for I Christ is not so much of a job as you I might imagine , when the Church takes : I off its coat and rolls up its sleeves for i the work , as it will. There are six j , teen ] hundred millions of people no ain I ! the world , and four hundred and fifty : ! millions are Christians. Subtract four : i hundred and fifty millions who are I I Chrittions from the sixteen hundred I ; ; millions , and there are eleven hundred I and fifty millions left. Divide the j I eleven hundred and fifty millions who : fire not Christians by the four hundred ! I and fifty who are Christians and you i will find that we shall have to average : I less than three srjuls each , brought by UH into the kingdom of God , to have j I I the whole world redeemed. Certainly , I I with the church rising up to its full duly no Christian will be willing to bring less than three souls into the kingdom of God. I hope , and pray Almighty God that I may bring more i than three. I know evangelists who have already brought fifty thousand : each for the kingdom of God. There I fare two hundred thousand people whose i one and only and absorbing business , in the world is to save souls. When you take these things into considera I tion rind that the Christians will have I ' I to average the bringing of. only three I j souls each into the kingdom of our . Lord all impossibility vanishes from this omnipotent crusade. Why , I know l I. a Sabbath School teacher who for many , years has been engaged in training the I young , and she has had five different classes : , and they averaged seven to a class , and they were all converted , and five times seven are thirty-five , as near ns I can calculate. So that she brought her three into the kingdom of God and had thirty-two to spare. My : grand- mother prayed her children into the kingdom of Christ , and her grandchildren - dren and I hope all her great-grand- children , for God remembers a prayer seventy-five years old , as though it were only a minute old ; and so she brought her three into the kingdom of God and had more than one hundred to spare. Besides that , through the telephone and the telegraph , this whole world within a few years , will be brought within compass of ten minutes Besides that , omnipotence , omnipresence - ence , and omniscience are presiding in this matter of the world's betterment , and that takes the question of the world's salvation out of the impossibili- I ties into the possibilites , and then cut I - -of the possibilities into the probabili I ties and then out of the probabilities into the certainties. The building of the Union Pacific Railroad from ocean to ocean was a greater undertaking than the girdling : of the earth with the Cos ; el ; for one enterprise depended up- on the human arm , while Die other depends - pends : upon almightiness. Do I really mean that all the earth will surrender to Christ ? Yes. How about the uninviting portions ? Will Greenland be evangelized ? The possi- bility is that after a few more hundred brave lives are dashed out among the icebergs. that great refrigerator , the Polar region will be given up to the -walrus and bear , and that the innabi- tants will come down by invitation in- to tolerable climates or those climates may soften ; and , as it has been posi- I tively demonstrated that the Arctic region - I gion was once a blooming garden and . I \ fruitful field , these regions may I change climate and again be a bloom- ing : garden and a fruitful field. It is : proved beyond controversy by German I .and American scientists that the Arc- I tic regions were the first portions of i this world inhabitable ; the world hot beyond human endurance , those regions " were , of course , the first to be cool enough for human foot and human lung. : It was positively proved that the Arctic region was a tropical climate. Prof. Heer , of Zurich , says the remains of flowers have been found in the Arc- t 1 tic region , showing it was like Mexico . ' for climate , and it is found that the Arctic was the mother region from which all the flowers descended. Prof. I Wallace says the remains of all styles of animal life are found in the Arctic regions , including those animals that can live only in warm climates. Now that Arctic region which has been demonstrated by flora and fauna and da geological argument to have been as full of vegetation and life as our Flor- ida , may be turned back to its original ; ( bloom and glory , or it will be shut up , as a museum of crystals for curiosity- 'I seekers once in awhile to visit. But f Arctic and Antarctic , in some shape , will r./ belong to the Redeemer's realm. f : . U ii , I t L F _ ' , 't zY4- ' . : - ' * ' , . . , \ ! r I . " --1- - ' r' : .

A half-dozen De Lesseps will furnish the world with all the canals needed , and will change the . course of rivers and open new lakes and the great Sahara desert will be cut up into farms with an astonishing yield of bushels ! to the acre. The marsh will be drained of its waters and cured of its malaria. I saw what was for many years called the Black Swamp of Ohio , 'its ' chief crop chills and fevers , but now , by the tiles put into the ground to carry off the surplus mois- ture transformed into the richest and healthiest ] of regions. The God who wastes nothing , I think , means that this world , from pole to pole , has come to perfection of foliage and fruitage. For that reason he keeps ! the earth running through ] space though so many fires are blazing down in its timbers and so : : : many meteoric terrors have threat ened to dash it to pieces. As soon as : the earth is completed Christ will divide - vide ' it _ up among the good. The reason he does not divide it now is because : it is i not done. A kind ! father will not divide - vide the apple among his children until the apple is ripe. In fulfilment of the New Testament promise , "The creel : > : sballjnhcrit ! the earth " and the : : prom- ise of the Old ' { Testament "He shall di - vide' the spoil with the strong , " the world will be apportioned to those worthy to possess it. It is not so now. In this country , capable of holding , feeding , clothing ! and sheltering twelve hundred million people , and where we have only sixty : : ; million inhabitants , we have two . mil lion who cannot get honest work , and with their families an aggregation of five.millions that are on the verge of starvation. Something wrong , most certainly. In some way , there will be a new apportionment. Many : ; of the millionaire estates will crack to pieces on the dissipations of grand children , and then dissolve into the possession of the masses who now have an insuffi- ciency. What , you say , will become of the expensive and elaborate buildings now devoted to debasing amusements ? They will become schools , art galleries , museums , gymnasiums , and churches. The world is already getting disgusted with many of these amusements , and no wonder. What an importation of unclean theatrical stuff we have within the last few years had brought to our shores ! And professors of religion ! patronizing such things ! Having sold out to the devil , why don't you deliver the goods and go over to him publicly body , mind and soul , and withdraw your name from Christian churches , and say : "Know all the world by these presents that I am a patron of uncleanness - ness and a child of hell ! ! " Sworn to be the Lord's , you are perjurers. If you think these offenses are to go on forever , you do not know who the Lord is. God will not wait ) for the Day of Judgment. All these palaces of sin will become palaces of righteousness. They will come into the possession of those strong for virtue and strong : : for God. "He shall divide the spoil with the strong. " If my text be not a deception , but the eternal truth , then the time is coming when all the farms will be owned by Christian farmers , and all the com- merce controlled by Christian mer- chants , and all the authority held by Christian officials , and all the ships commanded by Christian captains , and all the universities under the instruc- tion of Christian professors ; Christian kings , Christian presidents , Christian governors , Christian mayors , Christian common council. Yet , what a scouring out ! what an upturning ! what a demoli tion ! what a resurrection must precede this 'new apportionment ! I do not underrate the enemy. Julius Caesar got his greatest victory by fully estimating the vastness of his foes and prepared his men for their greatest tri umph by saying : "Tomorrow King Juba will be here with thirty thousand : horses , one hundred thousand skir mishers and three hundred elephants. " I do not underrate the vast forces of Sin and Death ; but do you know who commands us ? Jehovah-jireh. And the reserve corps behind us are all the armies of heaven and earth , with hurri- cane and thunderbolt. The good work of the world's redemption is going on every minute. Never so many splendid men and glorious women on the side of right as to-day. Never so many good people as now. Diogenes has been spoken of as a wise man because - cause he went with a lantern at noon- day , saying he was looking for an honest man. If he had turned his lan- tern toward himself . he might have discovered a crank. Honest men ; by the ten thousand ! Through the Interna- tional Series of Sunday School lessons the next generation all through Christendom are going to be wiser than any generation since the world stood. The kingdom is coming. God can do it. No housewife with a chamois cloth ever polished a silver teaspoon with more ease than Christ will rub off from this world the tarnish , and brighten it up till it glows like heaven ; and then the glorious apportionment ! for my text is reinforced by a score of other texts when it says of Christ : "He shall divide - vide the spoil with the stron . " "But , " you say , "that this : : is pleasant to think of for others , but before that time I shall have passed up into an- other existence , and I shall get no advantage - vantage from that new apportionment.

There are old estates In the celestial world that have been in the ! possession of the inhabitants for thou I sands of years , and they shall remain I as they are. There are old family mansions in heaven filled with whole generations of kindred , and they shall never be driven out. Many of the vic- tors from earth have already got their palaces , and they are pointed out to those newly arrived. Soon after our. I getting there we will ask to be shown the Apostolic residences , and ask where j E 1 does Paul live , and John ; and shown the patriarchial residences , and shall say : " ; ' /here ' does Abraham live , or Jacob ? " and shown the martyr resi- dences and say : "Where does John Huss Jive , and Ridley ? " : We will want to see the boulevards where the chariots I of conquerors roll. I will want to see I the gardens where the princes walk. We will want to see Music Row , where Handel and Haydn and Mozart and Charles Wesley ; ] and Thomas Hastings and Bradbury have their homes , out of i their windows , ever and anon , rolling , sonic snatch of an earthly oratorio or j i I . hymn transported with the composer. vTe will want to see Revival Terrace , where Whiten1 and Nettleton and Payson and Rowland Hill and Charles Finuey ; and other giants of soul reap ing : are resting from their almost super natural labors , their doors thronged with converts just arrived , coming to 1 report themselves. " But brilliant as the sunset , and like I the leaves for number are the celestial homes yet to be awarded , when Christ I to you and millions of ethers , shall divide - vide the spoil. What do you want there ? You shill : have it. An orchard ? There it is ; twelve manner of fruits , and : fruit every month. Do you want river scenery ? Take your choice on the banks of the , river in longer , wider : , deeper roll than Danube or Amazon or Mississippi if mingled in one , and I emptying into the sea of glass , mingled { with fire. Do you want your kindred I back again ? Go out and meet your father and mother without the staff or the stoop and your children in a dance of immortal glee. Do you want a throne ? Select it from the million : burnished elevations. Do you want a crown ? Pick it out of that mountain of diamonded coronets. Do you want your old church friends of earth : around 1 you ? Begin to hum an old revival tune and they will flock ! from ali quarters to revel with you in sacred reminiscence. All the earth for these who are here on earth at the time of continental and planetary distribution , and all the heavens for those who are there. But notice that there is only one Be- ing in the universe who can and will distribute the trophies of earth and I 'heaven. It is : : : the Divine Warrior : , the Commander-in-Chief of the Centuries the Champion of Ages , the universal Conqueror , the Son of God , Jesus. You will take the spoils from his hand , or ' never take them at all. Have his friendship and you may defy all time and all eternity , but without it you are a pauper , though you had a universe at your command. We are told in Rev- elation that Jacob's twelve sons were so honored as to have the twelve gates of heaven named after them-over one gate of heaven : Naphtali , over another of heaven Issachar , over another Dan over another Gad , over another Ze- bulon over another Judah and so on. But Christ's name is written over all the gates , and on every panel of the I gates ; and have his help , his pardon I his intercession , his atonement , I must , or be a forlorn wretch for ever. My Lord and my God ! make me and I all who hear me this day , and all to I whom these words shall come , thy repentant - I pentant , believing , sworn , consecrated and ransomp'l followers for ever. ] Tnt : STAGE. 1 - ] Fanny Davenport has a fortune In 1 vested . in real estate in New York and I vicinity . , from which she derives large . c income. . .

The most unfavorable feature of the report concerning the quarter's fail- ures is the relatively heavy increa'so of liabilites compared with gain in num- ber of embarrassments. Thus while the : increase in the latter is IS per cent its compared with the first quarter of 1895 , and about 11 per cent. compared with the first quarter of 1894 ! total liabilities - bilities aggregating $6 ,513OOO. are about 30 per cent. larger than in the corresponding : period one year ago , and 27 per cent. larger than in the like period two years ago. No correspond- ing period during the previous fifteen rears . has presented so large a total of liabilities as that the statistics for which are now made public. In the first quarter of 1S95 ! when there were July 1.050 failures , total liabilities amounted to 41,461,000 , nearly one- hird less. It is when we come to records from western and the middle states that in creases : , not only in number of embar- -assmcnts , but in aggregates of indebt- jdness : , becomes striking. The western states show an increase of the num ber of failures of more than 45 per ent. : , 1,205 compared with 830 a year ago , but with respect to liabilities the ncrease there is more than 200 per ent. $16,905,000 as compared with $5- 136,000. : The states of New York , New Jersey ; , Pennsylvania and Delaware report - sort 1,030 business failures against 910 a year ago an increase of only 13 per ent. : , but they furnish 21,102,000 of indebtedness - debtedness for the first quarter of 1896 , against $17,445.000 in the like quarter of 'ast year , an increase of 24 per ent. In New York City alone the total lUmber of business failures by quarters umped from 165 last year : : to 258 this . . year . , about 50 per cent. , but the total iabilities increased from $4,924,000 to 53,398,000 : , nearly 70 per cent. .

Its receipts in the last nineteen months of its operation were forty mil- lion dollars greater than those of the first : nineteen months of the Gorman law l , while as for its first nineteen months the McKinley : exceeded the Gorman law by eighty million dollars in its receipts.
