Preach Christ.

A young man had been preaching in the pres
ence of venerable divine, and after he had
done, he went to the old minister and said:
''What do you think of my sermon?"
"A very poor sermon, indeed, said he.
"A poor sermon?' said the young man ''it
took me long time to study it.
'Ay, no doubt of it. y
'Why, did you not think my explanation of
the text a very good one ?'
20 yes" said the old preacher, Every good,
indeed"
''Well, then, why do you say it is a poor
sermon? Didn't you think the metaphors we're
appropriate, and the arguments conclusive2"
Yes, they were very good, as far as that
goes; but still it was very poor sermon? ?"
WI viii 5i you tell me why you think it a poor
Because" said he, 'there was no Christ in
"Well, said the young man, "Christ was
not In the text we are not to be preaching
Christ always; we must preach what is in the
text"
So the old man said:
Don't you know, young man, that from
every town, and every village, and every little
hamlet in England, wherever you may be, there
is a road to London?'
Yes said the young man.
"Ah!' said the old divine, "and so from
every text in Scripture. there is a road to the
metropolis of the Scripture, that is Christ. And,
my dear brother, your business is, when you get
text, to say, Now what is the road to Christi
and then preach sermon, running along the
road towards the great metropolis, Christ. And,
said he, l have not yet found text that has

the sermon cannot do any good unless there is
a SAVIOR of Christ in it. - Christian Observer.

Make the heart right, and the man will be
right, the woman will be right, the child will
be right; make the men, women and children
homes right, and the town and city will be
right; make the towns and cities right. and
the States will be right; make the States right,
and the nation will be right; make the nations
right, and the world will be right.

A young lawyer was examining bankrupt
as to how he had spent his money. There
were two thousand pounds unaccounted for,
when the attorney put on severe scrutinizing
face, and exclaimed, with much selfcomplacen-
cy: Now, sir, want you to tell this court
and jury how you used those two thousand
pounds. The bankrupt put on a serio-comic
face, winked at the audience, and exclaimed
The lawyers got that!' The judge and au-
dience were convulsed with laughter and the
counselor was glad to let the bankrupt go.

Reindeer riding in Siberia is thus described
by one of the Telegraphic Expeditionary
Corps, engaged recently in exploring the
northwestern coast of the Pacific:
"Govenor Fulyhelm sent to the Tuneusi q
hundred versts to the northward to procure
reindeer for Captain Manhood's expedition
These were ordered to Orelle Lake, north OF
the AMOR, and to this point the party pro-
ceeded, when all preparations were completed
After some little difficulty they found the
Tungus who were waiting them with twenty
deer. After little delay in arranging the
loads, the exedition started, each of the men
riding deer, while twelve of the animalswere
required to carry the baggage and provisions
The saddle for a reindeer is placed on the an.
finals wither's, the back net being strong
enough to sustain the weight of man. The
saddle is mere pack, and has no stirrups, sc
that 1t requires constant care TO retain ones
balance-a novice IN this kind of travelling
being sure to get many tumbles before he
learns to manage his new beast of burden. TIE
deer is guided by halter and single line
One is required to exercise considerable dexter
ity TO mount one of these reindeer without the
assistance OF stirrups. A staff is always used
to assist one in mounting. The pack saddle is
placed on the shoulders of the animal, and
carries load of from seventy five to hundred
pounds. A Tunguse rides one deer and leads
q pack train OF from four to dozen animals
the halter OF each deer being fastened to the
neck OF the one that precedes him.
Between the Ansoor and Okhotsk there Is not
nor has there ever been any kind of road, but
the guides and travellers follow whatever ron 10
they think proper, always keeping their gener-
al course III view. The reindeer goes through
forests, over hills and along wide stretches OF
prairie land. The rivers a Q forded where shat.
low, and when too deep for this, RATS are built
for men and baggage, while the deer are forced
to swim over. In Winter the ice affords n So
cure foothold, and from this reason TRAVELLING
Is mtHn better IN the cold season than in Sum-
mer. Reindeer food grows on all parts of tl,o
route, SO that in any season it is only necessary
to turn them out at night and they will he
