thing in Milton finer in the way o.
Imagination than I can finl in Pauls
illustrations drawn from the amph1-
theater. There was nothing in Robert
Emmett pleading for his life, or in Ed
mund Burke arraigning Warren Hast
ings in Westminster Hall, that COM
pared with the scene in the courtroom
when, before robed officials, Paul bowed
and began his speech, saying: 81 think
myself happy, King Agrippa, because l
shall answer for myself this day."
Irepeat, that religion that can capt
ure a man like that must have some
power in it. 1t is time our wiseacres
stopped talking as though all the brain
of the world were opposed to Christian
ity. Where Paul leads, we can afford to
follow 1 am glad to know that Christ
has, in the different ages OF the world,
had in His discipleship Mozart and
Handel in music; a Raphael and
Reynolds in painting; an Angelo and
Canova in sculpture; Rush and
Harvey in medicine; Grotius and a
Washington in craftsmanship; Black
stone, Marshall and Kent in law, and
the time will come when the religion OF
Christ will conquer all the observa-
tories and universities, and phi
losophy will, through her telescope, be-
hold the morning star of Jesus, and in
her laboratory see that call things work
together for good" and with her geo
logical hammer discern the Crock OF
Ages" Oh, instead of covering and
shivering when the skeptic stands be-
fore Ms, and talks of religion as though
it were a pusillanimous thing-instead
of that, let us take out our New Testa-
ment and read the story of Paul at
Rome, or come and see this city for
ourselves, and learn that it could have
been no weak gospel that actuated such
a man, but that it is an all-conquering
gospel. Aye, for all ages the power OF
God and the wisdom of God unto saliva
tion.
Men, brethren and fathers! l thank
you for this opportunity of preaching
the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
The churches of America salute you.
Upon you who are, like US, strangers in
Rome, / pray the protecting and jour
resident here, pray grace, mercy and
peace from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ. After tarrying here few
days we resume our journey for Palestine,
and we shall never meet again, either
in Italy, or America, or what is called
the Holy Land, but there is holier
land. and there we may meet, saved by
the grace that in the same way saves
Italian and American. and there in that
supernal cline. after embracing Him
who, by His sufferings on the hill back
of Jerusalem, made our Heaven possible,
and given salutation to our own kindred
whose departure broke our hearts on
earth. we shall, l think, seek out the
travelling preacher and mighty hero of
the text who marked out His journey
through Macedonia and Achaia to Je-
rusalem, saying:
"After have been there, 1 must also
gee Rane."

Let Children Have Pet Dogs.

"Do you know" says a doctor, 'that .
young dog is the healthiest thing in the
world to bring up a young child with? 1
don't mean that the dog shall actually
sleep with the child, but be with it con-
tinually-be played and romped with.
There is something in the mere healthy
animalism OF the dog which goes to make
the child healthy. For a dog can catch
every disease from child, and just by
being about can often decrease the yio-
lence of an attack-take off some of the
disease, you know. But child never
takes disease from dog. Of course
the dog should be accommodated to tho
infant. A delicate baby sheuld not be
with a rough and vigorous young dog.
Nor should healthy and hearty child
have too small a companion puppy. To
carry out this principle still further,
dog is of great benefit in consumptive's
room. For one in the early stages OF
that disease the constant presence of
dog is the best thing i know of."-Chi-

Medical Properties of Vegetables.

Spinach has a direct effect upon the

as green's, is excellent for the same
trouble. Asparagus purges the blood.
Celery acts admirably upon the nervous
system, and is cure for rheumatism and
neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon the liver.
Beets and turnips are excellent appe-

A MILLION OF BABIES.
Following Them Up from Their Birth q
Their Death.

Their Death.
Take your pencil and follow me while
we figure out on what will happen to the
1000, 900 of babies that have been born
in the last 1000, 900 seconds. I believe
that is about the average-''one every
time the clock ticks" October 1, 1890,
if statistics don't belle us, we will have
lost $50, 900 of these little 'prides of the
household" A year later So, 900 more will
be keeping company with those who have
gone before. At the end of the third
year we find that $4,000 more have
dropped by the wayside. The fourth
year they have become rugged little
darlings, not nearly so susceptible to in
fantile diseases, only 5000 having sue
cumbed to the rigors imposed by the
master. BY the time they have arrived
at the age of twelve years but paltry
few hundred leave the track each year.
After three score years have come and
gone we find less trouble in counting
the army with which we started in the
fall of 1889.
OF tho 1000, 600 with which we began
our count but $4,000 remain; $50, ,OOO
have gone the way of all the world and
the remaining few have forgotten that
they ever existed. At the end sf so, or,
taking our mode of reckoning, by year
1869, A. d.. there are still $1,000 gray
haired, shaky old grannies and grand
fathers, toothless, hairless and happy.
In the year 1884 our 100000 babies
with which we started in 1889, will have
dwindled to an insignificant 223 help
less old wrecks stranded on the shores
of Time" In 1892 all but seventeen
have left this mundane sphere forever,
while the last remaining wreck will
probably, in seeming thoughtlessness,
watch the sands filter through the hour
glass of Time and die in the year 1897 at
the age of los. What bounteous sup
