"Oh for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly flame;
A light to shine upon the road
Thai leads me TO the Lamb"

1 am sure that there are some here
who at some time have been hit by the
gospel arrow. You felt the wound of
that conviction and you plunged into
the world deeper; just as the stag when
the hounds are after it plunges into
ScroOn Lake, expecting in that way to
escape. Jesus Christ is on your track.
o, impenitent mani Not in wrath, but
in mercy. 0, ye, chased and painting
souls here Is the stream of GOdl Mercy
and salvation where you may cool your
thirst. Stop that chase Of sin tonight.
By the red fountain that leaped from the
heart of my Lord bid you stOpl There
is mercy for yOu-mercy that pardOns,
mercy that heals, everlasting mercy.
There is in forest of Germany place
they call the "deeT-leap," two crags,
about eighteen yards apart, between
them a fearful chasm. This is called the
deer leap because once hunter was on
the track of a deer; it came to one of these
crags, and in utter despair it gathered
itself up, and in death agony attempt
ed to Jump across. OF course it fell and
was dashed on the rocks far beneath.
Here is path to Heaven. 1t is plain;
it is safe. Jesus marks it out for every
man TO walk in. But here is man who
says: 81 won't walk in that path; will
take my own way" He comes on I'D
until he cOnfrOnts the chasm that divides
his soul from heaven, Now his last
hour has come, and he resolves that he
will leap that chasm from the heights
of heaven. Stand back, now, and give
him full swing, for no soul ever did that
successfully. Let him try. Jump! jump!
He misses the mark, and he goes down
depth below depth, destroyed without
remedy" Menl angelsl devils what
shall we call that place of awful catas-
tTOphe? Let it be known forever as the
sinners death-leaD,

MIGHTY HUNTERS.
Continued from ID Pape.l

of India were invaded by this excursion,
and .he rhinoceros and deer and ele,
phant fell under the stroke of the saber
and bullet. After awhile the party
brought back trophies wO tn fifty thOuS-
and rupees, having left the wilderness
of India CHASTITY with the slain bodies of
wild beasts. Would to God that instead
of here and there straggler going out
to fight these great monsters of iniquity
in our country, the millions of member
ship of our Churches would band to-
gether and hew in twain these great
crimes that make the land frightfuI with
tier roar, andlare fattening upon b
bodies and souls of immortal men!
Who is ready for such party as that?
Who will be a mighty hunter for the
Lord?
Iremark again, if you want to be sue
cessful in Spiritual hunting you need
not only to bring down the game, but
bring it in. l think one of the most
beautiful pictures of ThOrwaldsen is his
Autumn" 1t represents sportsman
coming home and standing under a
grapevine. He has staff over his
shoulder, and ON the other end of that
staff are hung a rabbit and brace of
birds. Every hunter brings home the
game. No one would think of bringing
down areindeer or whipping up a stream
for trout and letting them lie in the
woods. At eventide the camp is adorned.
with the treasures of the fOrest-beak
and fin and antler. If you go ORt to hunt
for immortal souls, not only bring them
down under the arrow of the Gospel, but
bring them into the Church of God, the
grand home and encampment we have
pitched this side the skies. Fetch them
on do not let them lie out in the open
field. They need our prayers, and SYM
pathies, and help; that is the meaning
eTs of the Lord, not only bring down the
game, but bring it in. If Mithridates
liked humbug so well that for seven
years he never went indoors, what en-
thusiasm ought we to have who are
hunting for immortal souls. If DOmi-
tian practiced archery until he could
stand boy down in the Roman Amphi-
theater, with hand out and the fingers
apart, and then the King could shoot
an arrow between the fingers without
wOunding them, TO what drill and what
practice ought not we to subject our
selves in order to become mighty hunt
ers before the Lord! But let me say you
will never work any better than you
pray. The old archers took the bow, put
one end of it down beside the foot, ele-
waited the other end, and it was the rule
thal the bow should be just the size of
the archer; If it were Just his size, then
he would go into the battle with conf
dence. Let me say that your power to
project good in the world will cores
pond exactly to you own spiritual stat
ure. In other words, the first thing in
preparation for Christian work is per-
sOnal conservation.

COMPROMISE EFFECTED by THE
ROCHESTER q pITTsBuRG AND, NEW
YORK, LAKE ERIE g. WESTERN.
(Elk Democrat.)
At last we are able to announce to
our readers that the differences which
have for nearly year existed between
the Rochester d Pittsburg and New
York, Lake Erie 6 Western railroad
companies nave been amicably arrang-
ed, and that the prospects of the build
ing of both roads the coming summer
and fall are very bright. The terms of
the compromise had been arranged a
week or two ago, but were not signed
until Saturday last. They are substan-
TALLY as follows
The New York, Lake Erie and
Western relinquished all claim to the
right of way on the west side of the
Clarion between Ridgway and John
sonburg, and will run over the Phila.
delphia and Erie between the points
named. Leaving the Philadelphia
and Erie track at Ridgway in the
neighborhood OF the Eagle Valley tan
merry, it will probably cross Main street
near the east end of the Clarion bridge,
and, skirting the foot of the hill or. the
south side of the river, will strike the
line of the Rochester and Pittsburg at
Halls farm, opposite Grant & Horton
tannery, and will continue on the east
side of the Clarion to the mouth of
Toby, which it will ascend on the east
side to within about two miles OF
Brockwayville, where it will cross to
the west 81 de.
The Rochester and Pittsburg will
run on the west side of the Clarion
from Johnsonburg to place called
Devils Elbow about six miles below
Ridgway, where it will cross the
Clarion and run alongside the New
York, Lake Erie aud Western to the
mouth OF Toby, where it will cross to
the west side OF Toby and continue on
that side to Brock wayville. 1t will be
seen that, as an offset to the concession
granted by the New York, Lake Erie
and Western between Johnsonburg
and Ridgway, the Rochester d. Pitts
burg surrenders It's line from Ridgway
to tho mouth ofToby, taking the other
lor vest side of the river between
those points, the New York, Lake
Erie and Western reimbursing them
for the grading on the east side, which
is nearly completed.
This information coming to Us from
a high oifi:al OF the Rochester and
Pittsburg, can be relied upon as Il true
statement OFT the adiustmentof ofthe long
standing differences between the two
companies.

Mr.. EDITOR. - Premit us through
the columns of your paper to express
publicly our thanks to the good peo-
pie of Wilcox, who completely sur
prised us last Friday evening by un-
tremendously entering our house, for
the very purpose of pounding the
Minister and his wife, which at once
they proceeded to do, and seemed
heartily to enjoy the same, such pound
ing, however, as they gave leaves no
sores. But, to be moro explicit, we
were amazed as between eighty and
ninety gentlemen, ladies and chill
dren, came in body to visit us, bring
ing with them substantial evidences
OF their esteem in the shape of gro
ceries and dry goods. After permit
ting us to enjoy their society for an
hour, they left us to calmly survey
and explore the pyramid of treasure
they had formed on the dining
room table. Our estimation of
the value of these gifts is not measured
by their money value, considerable
though it was. We appreciate the
good will which prompted this sur
prise, and the heartiness with which
it was entered into and hope we may
prove worthy of the esteem thus ex-
pressed.
