A FINE SERMON ".SMASHED.'

OF late the practice Of spiritualizing
texts Of Scripture and giving them q
meaning foreign to that intended by
the inspired writer has been considera.
bly, Oh the increase in certain pulpits.
This style of preaching is not always
safe one. Some time ago, away out
in the country, a very clever young
preacher, who had just before gradu-
ated with high honors from one of the
theological schools, preached sermon
from the words "Thcn, fearing lest
they should fall upon rocks, they cast
four anchors out OF the stern and wish
cd for the day. Said the young
preacher: "The ship represents the
Church. The four anchors are faith,
hope, love and prayer, Christians are
the crew. The sea represents the
great ocean of lite. The storms that
prevailed are the trials TO which we are
incident here; and the Island Of Melita,
where all are escaped safe to land, means
Heaven" He dwclt with becoming
fervency on the importance Of casting
out the anchors, faith, hope, love and
prayer; the necessity OF abiding in the
ship in order to be saved and the con.
ISOLATION TO be found in the fact that
not hair OF the head should be hurt,
but that they--the members of the
Church-should all reach the shore in
safety. The preacher concluded by
asking an aged preacher, whom he had
invited into the pulpit out Of respect
to his gray hairs, to close the meeting
with q few remarks. The old brother
arose and placed bis hand on the young
theologian's head, as if giving him a
chronological examination, and pro-
ceeded in his plain, uneducatod style,
substantially as follows:
"Myyoung brother, you have preach
cd us mighty purity discourse today
but I'm q ieard you've made some aw-
| iul big mistakes. You said that the
ship meant the Church. If that's so,
we haven't got any Church now, for
the ship was all smashed to pieces and
destroyed, You also said thnt the four
anchors We're faith, hope, love and
prayer. II that's so, we haven't got
any faith, hope, love and prayer in the
Church, az they have been cast OUT.
And you say that Christians are the
crew If that's so, they arc a mighty
bloodtbirsty set, for they wanted tc
kill Paul. You tell US that the Island
OF Melita meant Heaven. Well, ifthat's
true, Heaven must be mighty snaky
place, as a snake bit Paul ~ soon NJ
he landed" ~f
It is stated as a fact that that young
preacher has never been known e
preach that "purty" discourse again
in that region of country.

LOST DIAMOND RING.

On the 4th OIL June, 1919, Rev. Ihos.
Guard, OF Baltimore, in company with
bis wife and child, was passing over
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, en-
route to Hamilton, Canada, where he
had an engagement to preach Mrs.
Guard was the owner of o very fine
diamond ring, valued at about $500,
and in order to please her child had
placed it upon her finger. In the
meantime the child was eating an or
ange, and while in the act OF throwing
the peel out OF the car window, short
distance above Susquehanna, the ring
slipped of her finger and went out
also. The train was moving rapidly
and there seemed to be no hope of re.
covering the lost treasure. The pa.
rents were moIe or less excited over
their loss, which attracted the stten.
ton of Mr. Hiram X. Rhoads, who
was in the car. He at once inquired
the cause Of the trouble and was in.
formed how the valuable ring had been
lost. As soon as the train reached
Jersey Shore station Mr.. Rhods in
formed the operator of the loss, and
directed him to return TO the place in.
dcated and make diligent search. He
did as directed, and continued the
search TIL six o'clock that evening
without finding the ring, when he re.
ported the result to Mr.. Rhoads at
the office in this city, and he at once
telegraphed to Mr.. Guard, at Niagara.
The search, however was kept up by
Mr.. Rhoads for ten or twelve days,
and every inch OF the ground was
carefully examined, but no trace OF the
treasure could be found, and the search
was finally abandoned Time rolled
away. Mr.. Guard spent two years as
pastor of church at Hamilton, when
he went to California, where no re.
mained about three years, pursuing
his profession as minister. His wife
still mourncd the loss of her valuable
ring, and all hopes of recovering il had
been abandoned. Mr. Guard had, how.

THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD.


lIu lSiS Daniel O'Connell and others we're
tried in the Court Of Queens Bench, in Ire
land, on an indictment for conspiracy. One si
the parties Indicted with 0'COnnell was Chsrlei
Gaven Duffy, the editor Of the Dublin Natioai
and the Attorney General In his opening address
on behalf Of the Crown read TO the jury q speci-
men Of what be termed sedtious poetry, which
had originally appeared In Duhy's journal, In
order to Identify the spirit Of the Irish repealers
with that of the Irish rebels Of lT9s. The object
Of the Crowns counsel was TO create as much
prejudice as possible again It the trayersers, but
those who read the poem will see what a blunder
was committed by the Attorney Gen eral In pre-
senting such thoughts and language on AZ Irish
iuryl
Who fears to speak Of Ninety. Eight
Who bushes at the namel
when towards mock the patriots fate,
Who hangs his head for shame
He's all a knave, or half slave,
Who sights his country thusi
But true man, like you, men,
win fill his glass with Us.
We drink the memory Of the brave,
The faithful and the few
Some lie far Of beyond the wave,
Some sleep in Ireland, tooj
All--all are gone-but still lives on
The fame Of those who died
All true men, like you, men,
Remember them with pride.
Some on the shores Of distant lands
Their weary hearts have laid,
And by the strangers bee ilsss hAnds
Their lonely graves were made
but though their clay be far away
Bey ond the Atlantio's foam
In tue men, like you, men,
Their spirits still At home
The dust Of some Is Irish earth,
Among their own they rest,
And the same land that gave them birth
Has caught them to hsr breasti
And we will pray, that from their clay.
Full many race may start,
Of true men, like you, mon,
To act as braves part.
They rose in dark and evil days,
To right their native land
They kindled here living blaze,
That nothing shall Withstand
Alas, that might can vanquish right,
They fell and passed away -
But true msu, like you, men,
Are plenty here to-day
Then here's their memory may It be
For us a guiding light,
70 cheer our strife foe liberty,
And teach Us to unite;
Through good and III, be Ireland's still,
Though sad as theirs, your fate;
And true men, be you, men,
Like those Of Ninety Eight

A STEAM CANAL BoAT.--Mr. Israel
Gutb, of Guthsville, has Just invented
a now steam canal boat. 1t is claimed
to be superior to anything Of the kind
ever conceived, and is ready for patent
ing. 1t is 40 arranged in its construc-
ton that there will be little or no wake,
and hence the hitherto great objection,
the washing ont of the canal banks, is
overcome. II is furthermore claimed
that crafts made after this model can
make a uniform speed OF from eight to
ten miles per hour with a full load,
while in the matter of expense it will
be great ooonomizer as but little coal
will be required for generating steam
Horse flesh certainly can be put to no
worse use than towing boats, and i
steam can be used with better economy,
and with more satisfactory results, we
would bc glad to see Mr.. Guth's inven-
ton come into use for competing with
the railroads in the coal carrying
trade.-AHeRtorR Democrat.
