An uptown preachers sermon on Sun
day was about NEBUcHADNEzzAR's Dream"
Tho sermon had been advertised in tho papers
and yet the church was not bcsieged by a surg
ing multitude eager to hear about NEBUcHAD-
NEzzAR and his dream. There were seats for
all who wanted them. and travel on Madison
avenue was not impcded.
These words are nor in disparagement Of the
preacher or his sermon. NEBucHADNEzzAR is
remarkable Biblical character. and his dream
was remarkable dream. In the hands Of an
ingenious man, with lively imagination. such
themo could not we'll fail to furnish an enter
tanning discourse. and we do not doubt that the
preachers hearers went away with n higher
opinion than ever Of his learning and elo-
quence.
But tho swarmne multitudcs outside the
churches will never be lurcd into them by
NEBucHADNEzzAR. They are too busy with tho
realities Of their own lives to bother about any
dream. however queer-even NEBUcHADNEz-
Ears.
Many mons and women's hearts fail within
them as they look about upon tho world they
live IN. The times are out Of Joint. What is
the meaning Of this worldwide distortion. ana
what will be the end Of 1t? What OF this mum
dation OF fraud in business. in the State. and
alas in the Church as well?
Lot the voice Of power and justice be heard
again in the pulpit. and thoro will no longer DO
trouble about nlling the pows. Tho people are
rs hungry to-day as they over were for good
news-and that IL the plain modern English Of
the word which Is translated Gospel in the Ro-
coivcd Version. They will crowd TO hear the
preacher who has II TO give.

The rage OF sections hot for years,
Is cooled and new appeals for strife
Fall upon apatheuc ears,
FOR peace Is now the nations life;
And North and South more friendly grow
Under the mistletoe.
Though for time fraud succeeds,
Its authors plainly are condemned;
The men who thwart the peoples needs,

And seoundrcls crinse in dire distress
Before an honest press
Let us rejoice that much is right,
