„ The morning for
starting out on the
m&h W& -crusade for bread has arrived. Jacob

B'Eisl l. ' fore tbe elder sons start they say
K h3A' something that makes him tremble
Rg AjSi with emotion from head to foot , and
• IT * liPft i burst into tears. The fact wa3 that
KgJljg' these elder sons had once before been
Kpll in Egypt to get corn , and they had
IBrr * been treated somewhat roughly , the
HPfa 0ri ° * tne corn-crib supplying them
* m | with corn , but saying at the close of

Well , tae bread party , tne oread em
bassy , drives up in front of the corncrib -
• crib of Egypt. Those corn-cribs are
iilled with wheat and barley and corn
in the husk , for modern travelers in
those lands , both in Canaan and in
"Egypt , tell us there is corn there cor
responding with our Indian maize.
• Huzza ! the journey is ended. The
lord of the corn-crib , who is also the
Trime Minister , comes down to these
' newly-arrived travelers , and says ,
-'Dine with me to-day. How is your
father ? Is this Benjamin , the young
er brother , whose presence I demand-
'ed ? " The travelers are introduced
'into ' the palace. They are worn and
iedusted of the way ; and servants
come in with a basin of water in one
"hand and a towel in the other , and
I Ikneel down before these newly-arrived
.travelers , washing off the dust of the
way. The butchers and poulterers and
• caterers of the Prime Minister prepare
the repast. The guests are seated in
email groups , two or three at a table ,
the food on a tray ; all the luxuries
from imperial gardens and orchards
end aquariumsand aviariesare brought
there , and are filling chalice and plat
ter. Now is the time for the Prime
Minister , if he has a grudge against
• Benjamin , to show it. Will he kill
him. now that he has iim in his
lands ? O , no ! This lord of the corn-
© ib is seated at his own table , and he
'looks over to the tables of his guests ;
and . he sends a portion to each of
them , but sends a larger portion to
Benjamin , or , as the Bible quaintly
puts ] It , "Benjamin's mess was five
times f as much as any of theirs. " Bo
quick and send word back with the
swiftest camel to Canaan to old Jacob ,
that "Benjamin is well ; all is well ; he
Is ' faring sumptuously ; the Egyptian
lord did not mean murder and death ;
but he meant deliverance and life when
he announced to us on that day , 'Ye
shall i not see * " my face unless your
brother i be with you. ' "
Well , my friends , thiB world Is fam
ine-struck j of sin. It does not yield a
single , crop of solid satisfaction. It Is
dying. < It is hunger-bitten. The fact
that it does not , cannot feed a man's
heart ] was well illustrated in the life
of ( the English comedian. All the
world honored him did " everything
for him that the world could do. He
was applauded in England and applauded
.
plauded in the United States. He
roused up nations into laughter. He
had no equal. And yet , although
many people supposed him entirely
happy , and that this world was completely -
pletely satisfying his soul , he sits down
and , writes :
I never in my life put on a new hai
that 1 it did not rain and ruin it. I
never ] went out in a shabby coat because -
cause it was raining and thought all
J
who had the choice would keep indoors -
doors J , that the aun did not come out
in Its strength and bring with it all
the butterflies of fashion whom I knew
and who knew me. I never consented
to accept a part I hated out of kind
ness to another , that I did not get
hissed by the public and cut by the
writer. I could not take a drive for a
few minutes with Terry without be-
,
ing overturned and having my elbow
,
broken , though my friend got off un-
harmed. I could not make a covenant
with Arnold , which I thought was to
make my fortune , without making his
instead , than in an incredibly short
Bpace of time I think thirteen months
_ i earned for him twenty thousand
pounds j , and for myself one. I am per-
, „ o tviot if T werp to set up as a
baker , everyone in my neighborhood
Would - leave off eating bread.
* *
I want to make three points. Every
/rank / and common-sense man will ac
knowledge himeeH to be a sinner.
WTiat are you going to do with your
I ' ins ? Have them pardoned , you say.
How ? Through the mercy of God.
What do you mean by the mercy of
God ? Is it the letting down of a bar
for the admission of all , without re
spect to character ? Be not deceived.
I see a soul coming up to the gate of
mercy and knocking at the corn-crib
Df heavenly supply ; and a voice from
within says , "ATe you alone ? " The
sinner replies , "All alone. " The voice
from within says , "You shall not see
my pardoning face unless your divine
RrnthRr the Lord Jesus , be with you. "
0 , that is the point at which so many
are. discomfited. There , is no mercy
from f God except through Jesus Christ.
Coming < with him , we are accepted.
Coming f without him , we are rejected.
Am I right in calling Jesus Benja
min ? O , yes. Rachel lived only long
enough to give a name to that child ,
and with a dying kiss she called him
Benoni. 1 Afterward Jacob changed his
name ] , and he called him Benjamin.
The meaning of the name she gave
was , "Sen of my Pain. " The meaning
of ( the name the father gave was , "Son
of i my Right Hand. " And was not
Christ < the Son of pain ? All the sorrow
row i of Rachel in that hour when she
gave i "her child over into the hands of
strangers i , was aa nothing compared
with ' the struggle of God when he gave
up l his only Son. And was not Christ
appropriately i called "Son of the Right
Hand ? " Did not Stephen look into
heaven ] and see him standing at the
right l hand of God ? And does not Paul
speak i of him as standing at the right
hand of God making intercession for
us i ? 0 , Benjamin Jesus ! Son of pang !
Son ! of victory ! The deepest emotions
of i our souls ought to be stirred at the
sound : of that nomenclature. In your
prayers plead his tears , his sufferings ,
hi3 sorrows , and his death. If you re
fuse to do it , all the corn-cribs and
the palaces of heaven will be bolted
and barred against your soul , and a
voice from the throne shall stun you
with the announcement , "You shall
not see my face except your brother be
with you. "
* *
The world after that was a blank to
me. I went into the country , but found
no peace in solitude. I tried to get
into society , but I found no peace ln i
society. There has been a horror hang
ing over me by night and by day , and
I am afraid to be alone.
How many unutterable troubles (
among you ! No human ear has ever
heard that sorrow. 0 , troubled soul ,
I want to tell you that there is one
salve that can cure the wounds of the
heart , and that is the salve made out
of the tears of a sympathetic Jesus.
And yet some of you will not take this
solace ; and you try chleral , and you
try morphine , and you try strong
drink , and you try change of scene ,
and you try new business associations ,
and anything and everything rather
than take the divine companionship
and sympathy suggested by the words
ot my text when it says , "You shall
not see my face again unless your
brother be with you. " 0 , that this au
dience to-day might understand some
thing of the height and depth and
length and breadth of immensity and
infinity of God's eternal consolations.
I go further and find in my subject
a hint as to why so many people fail
of heaven. We are told that heaven
has twelve gates , and some people in
fer from that-fact that all the people
will go in without reference to their
past life ; but what is the use of hav
ing a gate that is not sometimes to
be shut- ? The swinging of a gate im
plies that our entrance into heaven Js/
ft
'
conditional. , It Is not a monetary con
dition , If we come to the door of an
exquisite concert we are not surprised
that we must pay a fee , for we know
that fine earthly music is expensive ;
but all the oratorios of heaven cost
nothing. Heaven pays nothing for its
music It is all free. There is noth
ing to be paid at that door for en
trance ; but the condition of getting
Into heaven is our bringing our di
vine Benjamin along with us. Do you
notice how often dying people call up
on Jesus ? It is the usual prayer of
fered the prayer offered more than
all the other prayers put together
"Lord Jesus , receive my spirit. " One
of our congregation , when asked in
the closing momenta of his life , "Do
you know us ? " said , " 0 , yea , I know
you. God bless you. Good-by. Lord
Jesus , , receive my spirit ; " and he v.as
gone. ; 0 , yes , in the closing momenta
of our life we muBt have a Christ to
call upon. If Jacob's sons had gone
up toward Egypt , and had gone with
the very finest equipage , and had not
taken Benjamin along with them , and
to the question they should have been
obliged ( to answer , "Sir , we didn't bring
him , ae father could not let him go ;
we didn't want to be bothered with
him , " a voice from within would have
said , "Go away from us. You shall
not have any of this supply. You
Bhall not see my face because your
brother is not with you. " And if we
come up toward the door of heaven
at last , though we come from all lux
uriance and brilliancy of surround
ings , and knock for admittance and
it is found that Christ is not with us ,
the police of heaven will beat us back
from the bread-house , saying , "Depart ,
I never knew you. "
If Jacob's sons , coming toward
Egypt , had lost everything on the
way ; if they bad expended their last
shekel ; if they had come up utterly
exhausted to the corn-crib3 of Egypt ,
and it had been found that Eenjamin
was with them , all the store-houses
would have swung open before them.
And so , though by fatal casualty we
may be ushered into the eternal world ;
though we may oe weax anu ejuuuai-
ed by protracted sickness if , in that
last moment , we can only just stagger
,
and faint and fall into the gate of
heaven it seems that all the corn
cribs of heaven will open for our need
;
and all the palaces will open for our
reception ; anfl the Lord of that place ,
seated at his table , and all the angels 1
of God seated at their table , and the 1
martyrs seated at their table , and all
our glorified kindred seated at our ta
ble , the King shall pass a portion from 1
his table to ours , and then , while we
|
think of the fact that it was Jesus
who started us on the road , and Jesus !
who kept us on the way , and Jesus
!
who at last gained admittance for our
soul , we shall be glad if he has seen l
of the travail of his soul and been sat
isfied , and not be at all jealous if it be
found that our divine Benjamin's mess
is five times larger than all the rest.
Hail ! anointed of the Lord. Thou art
worthy.
My friends , you see it Is either
Christ or famine. If there w : e two
banquets spread , and to one of them
only , you might go , you might stand
and think for a good while as to which
invitation you had better accept ; but
here is feasting or starvation. If there
were two mansions offered , and you
might have only one , you might think
for a long while , saying , "Perhaps I
had better accept this gift , and per
haps I had better accept that gift ; "
but here it is a choice between palaces
of light and hovels of despair. If it
might say , "I prefer the 'Creation , ' "
or , "I prefer the 'Messiah ; ' " but here
it is a choice between eternal harmony
and everlasting discord. O , will you
live or die ? Will you sail into the har
bor or drive on the rocks ? Will you
start for the Egyptian corn-crib , or
will you perish amid the empty barns
of the Canaanitish famine ?

kissed him and
said , "Good

I whispered :
fHEN ' wake

But the world had
nothing of love
or light ,
Nor a rose in the
rosiest May !
Yet I whispered still :
" ' ' "
"It's God's own will ;
But the green left the valley , the blue
left the hill ;
And the world had no splendor , no
peace and no light
When his mother kissed him "Good

When his mother kissed him and said if
"Good night ! "
I whispered : "He'll wake again ! "
But in the sad darkness there streamed
no light ,
And her tears fell down like rain !
But I whispered still :
"It is God's own will ,
And his shafts are the kindest that

But the rose left the garden , the light

"I Can't Complain. "
These words , often heard , says a
writer in the Common People , fur
nish a curious illustration of the
mental attitude of certain persons. The
boy who , when inquired of about his
sick mother , said , "She complained of
being much better , " might , perhaps ,
represent an extreme case ; but when
inquiring after the health of a person
and hearing him say , "I can't complain ' -
plain , " the natural inference would be
that complaining was the proper thing
to do when practicable , and that every
opportunity for complaint was seized
upon ; but that if a person was so free
from ills and aches and pains and
troubles that he had nothing to
grumble about , there was only one
thing to be said , and that is "I can't
complain. "
Are there not some persons who occupy : -
cupy an attitude much like this ? Who
criticize everything that can be criti i-
cized , and complain of everything that
can be complained of , and finally , if
Gverv trouble is removed , and they
have nothing left about which to mur
mur or find fault , they accept the sit
uation with ill-concealed regret and
say , "I can't complain ? "
A Sharp Kejolnder.
Some years ago , according to the na
tional temperance advocate , Rev. E.s
Klumph , now of Elm , Wayne county ,
Michigan , while seated in a village
store , accosted a saloonkeeper with the
remark :
"Come over to the church tonight and
hear me lecture on temperance. "
The reply was : "I won't ; you said
whisky sellers were robbers. "
"I didn't , " replied Mr. Klumph.
"What did you say ? "
"I said you were worse than a rob-
ber. I said you took my innocent boy
and sent me home a maudlin fool. I
said you took an intelligent man and
sent a lunatic to the asylum. I said you
took a respected citizen and sent a
criminal to prison. I said you took a
father and sent a fiend to throw his
family into the street. I ' 'aid you took
a loving husband and sej a demon to

Duties of Citizenship.
The following timely sentence by Dr.
McLaurin in the Occident are worthy
of attention by all Christian citizens :
Citizenship involves privileges and
duties. We enjoy the privileges , and
are transgressors of divine law , and are
moral cowards , if not worse , if we ne-
gleet our responsibilities and duties.
We cannot be good citizens , then , unless -
less we are obedient to this divine in
junction , that we should act the full
' j
part of citiz ens , worthily of the gospel ,
of Jesus Christ. And this we should do
(
because the state is a divine institution -
(
tion , the state is a divine organism.
This is God's country and we must
rnnservA it for him : this is God's outer
vesture , so to speak , and we must ,
who are his children , preserve it in
purity from the hands of the foul and
the unclean.
A Little Samnrltan
He was a tiny chap , says the Louis
ville Commercial , and could hardly be
seen when he entered a well-known res
taurant the other evening. The little
fellow was well dressed and caused
some comment when he asked the clerk
what the price of a turkey sandwich
was.
"Ten cents. "
"Well , give me a ham ; it's only five
cents. "
While the clerk was preparing the
sandwich the boy fished a solitary
nickel out of his pants pocket and paid
for the goods.t Then he walked out
rapidly. Some men who were in the
place at the time followed him out to
see what he was going to do with the
sandwich. They found him giving it
to a dirty , ragged newsboy , a little boy
like himself.
"I only had a nickel. I got this for

rroTlnc It from the Bible-
While a naval officer was Inspecting ;
one of the schools in the island of Bart
badoes , says the Christian Herald , conj
talning two hundred negro boys and L
girls , a sign was made by one of the
children by holding up his hand , Intlf
mating that he wished to speak to the
master. On going up to the child , who
was somewhat more than eight years
old , the master inquired what was the
matter.
. "Massa , " he replied , with aflook of
horror and Indignation which the offl-
cer said he should never forget , and 1
pointing ] to a little boy of the same nge
who sat beside him ; "Massa , this boy
says he does not believe in the resurj
rection. "
"That is very bad , " said the master ;
"but do you , my little fellow , " addressj
ing the young informer , "believe in the
resurrection ' yourself ? "
"Yes , massa , I do. "
"But can you prove it from the
ifbible ' ? "
"Yeo , massa. Jesus says , 'I am the
resurrection ' and the life ; he that be-
lieveth 1 in me though he were dead , yet
shall J he live , ' and in another place ,
'Because I live ye shall live also. ' "
The master added , "Can you prove it
from I the old testament also ? "
"Yes ; for Job says , 'I know that my
Redeemer liveth and that he shall
stand i at the latter day upon the earth ,
and though after my skin worms de
stroy i this body , yet in my flesh shall I
see i God. ' And David says in one of his
psalms , 'I shall be satisfied when J
awake with ' "
thy likeness.
Cheap Trip Abroad.
George Downer , 13 years old , started
away from Fayetteville on January 14
to see the world. He left home with
$2 and tramped to Syracuse , then he
rode to New York. He got a job as
cabin boy on the steamship Massachus- '
etts and was hired as a valet. George
spent a month in London. He and his
employer went to Ghent and then they
returned to London.
George got a job on a ship going to
Marseilles and , after spending two days
there , paid his way to Bona , Algeria i ,
and went back to Marseilles. His
money had given out and , after two '
weeks in the Sailors' home , he sailed (
for Malta in the steamship Arabstan. | I I
Thence he went to Port Said , thence
to Suez and , finally , to Aden. After
ho left Aden American consuls helped
ihim along from Lyons , Paris , and
Havre to the steamship California ,
which arrived in New York on Satur *
day. Philadelphia iRecord.
Every Dollar Count * .
The following , taken from the Pres
byterian | Messenger , is worthy of care
ful consideration by all church mem
bers :
"Sometimes a single sentence pre
sents s a very definite picture. The strug
gles ! of ministers of the gospel , as they
try to do faithful work on the least
possible i salary , have been dwelt upon
;
at length by many speakers and writ'
J ers. A single sentence in a letter recently -
cently ( received at our office seems to
tell ] the whole story , and the sentence j j
is i this : 'Every dollar counts to a home
missionary on a salary of only $400 ,
,
J and not all paid. ' How many Presbyj j
terians spend more than ? 400 on a sin- j
gle ' , fashionable party ? How little it'

Emigration and Immigration.
The London Spectator is becoming
alarmed ' at the growing sentiment
against immigration in this country ,
and | wonders what is to become of the
surplus ' population of Europe if we
erect \ an effective dam against it. "It' 1
is ] more than probable , " the Spectator j
says , "that within twenty years im
, migration as we now know it will be j
prohibited all over the world , and that i
Great | Britain , Germany and Italy will
be compelled to meet the problem
of , growing populations , without any
relief from departures to other climates ,
a , change which will almost compel

A Hopeless Caie.
A striking story is told by Darwin
in the life of his grandfather , Dr. Darwin -
win , of Shrewsbury. One day a patient
entered the consulting room of a Lon
don physician and detailed the symp
toms of his illness. It was an obscure
and difficult case , of a kind that was
only imperfectly understood , and the
London doctor confessed himself iairly
puzzled. He could only state that the"
patient was in a most perilous state.
"There is but one man in England who
understands your disease , " said the
London doctor , "and you should go and
consult him. It is Dr. Darwin of
Shrewsbury"Alas ! " was the an
swer , "I am that Dr. Darwin. "

A native girl in Jerusalem , whether
Christian , Jew or Moslem , has no hap
py childhood , does not in any case en
ter into a business life and has no aim
in. existence beyond marriage. Even
among the first two classes the bride
groom rarely sees his wife before mar
riage , and brides of 12 and 14 are fre
quent in all stations and kinds of so
ciety. Even the Christian and He
brew girls generally go veiled when
,
on the streets , which is as rarely as j
possible. j

years it has been thoughtneceatary to H
shorten the length of the grand pa- H
rada of the old soldlers.and this year's H

but a trifle and as it was over smooth H
streets and easy walking no 111 effects H
were anticipated. H

the < parade. The first division , led by M
the f veteran signal corns and lncluu- H
injr the departments of Illinois , Wisconsin - H

As the head of the parade turned M
down Summit avenue the veterans M
straightened their shoulders and tried H
to renew their youth. The avenue H
was crowded on both sides with the M
spectators : who applauded . ' .iTorita H
posts or favorite leaders and now and H
again a cheer went up for the fine ap- M
pearance of some of the less known j H
posts. Opposite the residence of Colo- M
nel IL M. Newport , the white hiircd H
veterans uncovered and salited : as H
they recognized the widow of their M
loved "Black Jack , " and Mrs. John A. H
Lotran carefully returned every salute. H
As the head of each division ar H
rived at this part of the avenue , H
twenty daughters of old soldiers H
stepped out into the street and scat * H
tercd flowers before the oncoming H
vetcians , who picked up the blossoms H
and plased them in their buttonholes. H
The little children of Thaddcus Malt' M
by chapter , of the Children of the H
American Revolution , also saluted the H
veterans with their waving flags and H
sang a song especially written for the H
occasion by Mrs. J. Q. Adams of St. H
Paul. . H
