the two parties rode on together in
company. In such a scene, and on a
road SO hallowed by the most wonder
full and momentous events of Bible
history, merely personal concerns
We're forgotten in the solemn associa-
tons of the locality.
About an hours ride brought the
party to the shores of the Dead sea,
about which SO many strange stories
have been related by travellers.
The River Jordan, to the Christian
the most interesting stream in the
whole world, was not far away, and
the travellers, after spending half an
hour on the shores of the Dead sea, re-
mounted their horses and rode thither-
ward. In about three-quarters of an
hour their eyes were gladdened by a
sight of the river 1t was indeed a
privilege to stand upon those banks,
and one that was evidently appreciated
by every member of the party.
On the way Mr.. Houston had fallen
into conversation with member of DR..
Talmage's party, and had delicately
preached a request which was evidently
matter of very strong desire on his
part. He said that he had often heard
DIR. Talmage preach, and had been
much blessed under him. He would

Think Before You Strike Any
Creature that Cannot
Speak.

l remember reading in my boyhood
about merchant travelling on horse
back, accompanied by his dog. He
dismounted for some purpose, and
accidently dropped his package of
money. The dog saw it, the merchant
did not. Tho dog barked to stop him
and as he rode father bounded in
front of the horse and barked louder
and louder. The merchant thought he
had gone mad, drew pistol from his
holster and shot him. The wounded
dog crawled back to the package,
and when the merchant discovered
his loss and rode back, he found his
dying dog lying there, faithfully
guarding the treasure.
The following little story told by a
friend of mine, is not so painful, but
adds force to the thought, "think be-
fore you strike any creature that can
not speak -
"When [ was boy and lived up in
the mountains of New Hampshire, l
worked for farmer, and was given
a span of horses to pillow with, one of
which was a four year-Old colt. The
colt, after walking few steps would
lie down in the furrow. The farmer
was provoked, and told me to sit on
the colts head, to keep him from ris-
ing while be whipped him, to break
him of the notion, as he said. But
just then a neighbor came by. He
said, there's something wrong here !;
let him get up, and let US exaime.'
He patted the colt, looked at his har-
ness, and then said, 'loOk at his collar
it is long and narrow, and carries the
harness so high, that when he begins
TO pull it slips back and chokes him
so he can't breathe And so it was ::
and but for that neigbbor, we should
have whipped as kind creature as
we bad on the farm because he laid
down when he couldn't BREATHE
1t was only the other day | heard
of valuable st. Bernard dog being
shot, because having a wound on his
head, concealed by the hair, he bit a
person who handled him roughly.

sents one of the most solemn and
deeply Interesting incidents of Dr.
Talmage's touf-that of the baptism in
the River Jordan of Mr.. Ulysses Grant
Houston, of M~ahattan, Kan. a theo-
logical student.
The baptism took place on Dec. 6,
1889, in the presence of two friends
and travelling companions of Mr.
Houston and Of DR.. Talmage's party,
with their dragoman, muleteers and
an Arab sheik, Waho had been retained
to protect the travellers on their jour
ney. Such precautions are necessary
now in the neighborhood of Jericho, as
they were in the 1aviour's time, when
"a certain man going to Jericho fell
among thieves"
The journey commenced at Jericho.
This is the third of the cities which
have borne that name, and was the
city of our Lords time.
From this place, SO rich in sacred
historical associations, DR., Talmage
and his party set out, mounted on
horses, in a southeasterly direction for
the north of the Dead sea and the
River Jordan. About half an hours
ride brought them to Riha, or the mod
ern Jericho, collection of houses
built in modern style, and boasting a
hotel of some pretensions, whose chief
support comes from foreign visitors to
the Holy Land As they passed the
hotel three travellers emerged from it
whose dress and manner suggested
their being fellow countrymen. The
suspicion was confirmed when their
leader greeted DR.. Talmage in Eng
ish.
1t appeared that he was Bostonian,
and he expressed the pleasure it would
afford him and his companions, as
they also were going to the Dead sea
and the Jordan, to make the trip in
company with the preachers party.
The Bostonian frankly said that he
had been concerned in the publication
of hostile criticism on DIR. Talmage's
sermons, but he trusted that would not
prevent their good fellowship on such
an excursion. In this view DIR. Tai

THE MESSAGE.

The presidents message was sent
to congress on Monday. 1t is quite
lengthy but not as long as the presl-
dent s former message. He opposes
any changes in the Mckinley bill.
and favors the passage of the federal
election bill. In both of these recon-
mendations he has ignored the warn
ing of the last election. A change of
10000 votes in such agricultural
states as Illinois, Kansas and Penn.
~sylvania means something, and out
west it looks as if it means special
dissatisfaction with the Mckinley
bill. The president thinks that the re-
suits of the measure will be fully
tested before the next election,
which will be favorable to the meas,
ure. We hope he is correct in his
theory, though we think it would be
best to recognize the condition
rather than predicate hope on a
theory. The Lodge bill should not
pass. If 1t does we hope Mr.. Blaine
will not consent to run for president.
1t is q measure that will injure the
republican party and make the col
cred mans existence anything but
pleasant. The republican party has
for the past % years been tinkering
with the political rights Of the col
ored man in the south, and If it has
gained any advantage eitherfor itself
