MADISON AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH.

GOD EVER MINDFUL OF MAN-sERMoN BY
REV. H. NJ. GALLAHER, OF NEW HAVEN.
The last sermon OF the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church, in Fifty-third street, before its summer
closing during the month Of August. was preached
by the Rev. II. NJ. Gallaher. of New Haven. The
Whisper ne said has made itself felt in every man
soul that it would be presumptuous folly to ask the
great God. who shakes the heavens like ashes in His
hand. to have thought for such things we a.e
and the thought Is one that has troubled

spasm OF unbefief thrills pulpit and pow;
and while ask ourselves. trembling If our doubts
can be true cling desperately to the hope that

His remedy. That is the true mission OF the Bible
The apostles We're ordained to show MS that God
walks mindful OF men. Scripture puts it in this
fns that God SO loved the world as to give His only
son to redeem it. But the evidences lie around us
on all hands. We are Bibles ourselves, living
epistles. written by the finger OF God. We have
ciam on His care. Shall fathers who have brought
seau. who left his offspring at tho founding hos
pital, man to be admired or initiated? The days
OF irresponsibty are gone. There is no longer
place for
That he should take who had the power,
And he should keep who
Kings bend to their subjects will. There
was time when men preached that men had no
rights which God was bound to respect. To-day
these doctrines have passed away. like patches
April snow Moreover, II it were only for prides
sake, God would be mindful of man; tor man is tho
Creators great glory. What the wonders OF the

A letter from Lambertville n. j., to the Phil
adelphia Times tells this interesting story about
gold dollar:-"A young lady of this place has
gold dollar with monogram inscribed upon
IT, which has been the subject OF a great deal OF
attention. 1t was attached to bracelet by q
chain. One evening in the latter part of Febr,l-
airy last after sleigh ride she missed it, The
broken chain showed how it had disappeared.
Search was made but it was OF no avail. Finally
an advertisement caught the eye Of an habitua!
loafer about town. He went to the house and
said that he had found the dollar below the steps
OF the sleigh the morning after the ride, and hal
spent it for whisky at a saloon. The friends OF
the young lady determined to find the dollar il
possible. The saloon keeper remembered re-
ceiving the money, but he had paid 1t to a
butcher. The latter recollected paying 1t over
to drover in Trenton. The address OF the
drover was secured and letter written him,
requesting reply at once. 1t came, with the
information that he had purchased a ticket to
Philadelphia with 1t the very day the Lambert
vile butcher gave 1t to him, and that the Tren-
ton ticket agent had remarked about the mono
gram.
"The search was continued. The agent re-
membered the dollar, and said he laid it aside
for few hours. but it was forwarded to the
general Office in Philadelphia with the daily &C
count The receiver OF the New Jersey receipts
at Philadelphia was next correspondent with.
The beautiful monogram had been noted, but
the dollar had been deposited in the bank. His
opinion was that it could be obtained from the
cashier. The cashier was communicated with
His attention had been called to the initials on
the back of the dollar by one of the clerks, and

a few weeks. Unfortunately, In the absence OF
the clerk, gentleman, desiring several hundred
dollars in gold, preparatory to a California trip,
had been furnished with the amount, and the
little piece had in some way been mixed with
that sum and gone westward. The gentleman's
name was furnished, and letter was sent to
him.
1.-The events so far described took place in
March. and the remainder OF the spring and all
summer passed with no tidingS from the lost
bangle. A few day ago. however, there came
a letter from Detroit, written by the gentleman
who had gone west, which said that his health
had been poor, so that instead of returning at
once from California, as he proposed when he
started, he had stopped at Colorado Springs 'or
the summer to recuperate. The letter reIating
the account of the dollar had been delayed and
not forwarded, so that he never received it Until
he reached Chicago. He said he had the dollar
In his possession as the monogram attracted his
notice. The initials were the same as those OF a
young friend of his, and he kept the coin on
that account. He promised to send the dollar as
should be directed He was as good as his word,
and the little gold piece is back In Lambsrtville
