ing, some young man that has been going
astray aud would like to get bock. There
was very dark, stormy night last mouth
out West, and tho wind blew down part
Of railroad bridge. A freight train came
along, and it crashed into the ruin, and
the engineer and conductor perished.
There was girl living in her fathers
cabin near tho disaster, and she heard
the crash of tho freight train, and she
knew that in few moments an express
train was due. She lighted lantern aud
climbed up on the Que bcam Of the
wrecked bridge, aud then on the mair
part Of the bridge, which was trcstle work
aud started to cross amid tho thunder end
lightning Of the tempest and the rogins If
tho torcnt beneath. Ono miss,cp aud it
would hive been DEATH Amid all hat
horror the lantern went out. Crawling
som ctmes and sometimes walking over the
slippery rails and over tho trcstc work, she
came to the other side Of the river. She
wuntcd to get to the telegraph station
where the train did stop. Tho train was
due 10 Eve minutes. She was one milo off
from the telegraph station, but fortunately
the train WIS lato. With cut aud bruised
feet she flew like the wind. Coming up to
tho telegraph station painting with almost
deathly exhaustion, she had only strength
to shout, "Thc bridge is down." when she
became unconscious, and could hardly be |
resusoitatcd. The message was sent from
that station to tho next station, and the
train halted aud that night the br-ve girl
saved the lives Of hundreds of passengers,
and saved many homes from desolation.
But every street is q track, and every day |
is a track, aud multitudes under tho power
OF temptation como sweeping on aud
down towards pcrils raging and
terrific. God help US to 90 out and stop
tho train. Let us throw some signal.
Let us give somo warning BY the throne
Of God let US flash some influence to stop
the downward progress. Beware! Beware!
Tho bridgo is down, the chasm is deep,
and the lightnings Of God set all tho
night of sin on fire with this warning:
"lle that being often reproved hardcneth
bis neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and
that without remedy"
