The River Jordan to the Christian

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. It was indeed a privilege to stand upon those banks, and one that was evidently appreciated by every member of the party.
 On the way Mir. Houston had fallen into conversation with member of Dr. Talmage's party, and had delicately preached a request which was evidently a matter of very strong desire on his part. He said that he had often heard Dr. Talmage preach, and had been much blessed under him. He would count it a high privilege to be bap-

sents one of the most solemn and deeply Interesting incidents of Dr. Talmage's tour-that of the baptism in the River Jordan of Mr. Ulysses Grant Houston, of Manhattan, Kan, a theo- logical student. ~
 The sbaptism took place on Dec 6. r6e9, in the presence of two friends and travelling companions of Mir. Houston and of Dr. Talmage's party, with their dragoman, muleteers and an Arab sheik, who 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 Saviour's time, when "a certain man going to Jericho fell among thieves"
 The journ& commenced at Jericho. This 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 southeasterly direction for the north of the Dead sea and the ride brought them to Riha, or the mod cru JeFlCuO, d COllcCIlOH OI uOuScS h1ih in modern style, and boosting g hotel of some pretensions, whose chief support comes from foreign visitors to the Holy Land. As they passed the hotel three travellers emerged from Ii whose dress and manner suggested their being fellow countrymen. The suspicion was confirmed when theil leader greeted Dr. Talmage in Eng lish. " " r.
 It appeared that he was aBostonian 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 M company with the preachers party The Bostonian frankly said that he had been concerned in the publication of hostile criticism on Dr. Talmage'. sermons, but he trusted that would no prevent their good fellowship on sucf an excursion. In this view Dr. Tal mage good humoredly concurred, ane the two parties rode on together il company. In such a scene, and on { uoa9 se haHowed by the most wonder fA aud momentous events of Bibl, history, merely personal concerns were forgotten in the solemn associa ions of the locality.

'PARsoN oANn BROKE HIS OATH.

 Under the Circumstances It Is Not Likel,
 to Be Scored Against Him.
 The boys all called him "Parson Dan." His real name was Daniel Higgins. He was quite 50 years old and rather under the average height, but he was as tough as hickory and the best workman in the whole foun- dry.
 Long before I made his acquaintance he had "got religion" and not being the sort of man to rest satisfied with merelyssaving his own soul, he went to work zealously to impart religion to others. Far worse preachers than .'Parson Dan" earn big salaries in fashionable churches. But 'Parson Dan" had hard crowd to deal with, and much of the seed he scattered fell on stony ground Often he was sub- jected to deal of coarse chaffing. He endured it all good naturedly and never retaliated. But this is what made me regard ''Parson Dan" as one of the finest men had ever met.
 One day during the dinner hour he was holding forth on his favorite topic. Among his listeners was an appren- tice named Will Preston. As i'll luck would have 1t Jake" Donohue, the foreman of the department in which the lad worked, came along that way. He was big, vicious tempered fellow, and the terror of all the men under him. For some reason he had a grudge against Will Preston, and forthwith began to abuse him foully. 'Parson Dan" interceded for the lad. Then Jake" turned his profanity upon him.
 You internal psalm singing hypo- crite, I'll teach you to mind your busi- ness" ,r..
 With that he struck the lad blow that knocked him down.
 Don't do that" pleaded "Parson Dan;" tits cowardly."
 Jake's response was still more sul- phurous outburst of oaths, and to show his contemps for 'Parson Dan he aimed kick at the prostrate lad.
 For a moment sParson Dams" face was a study. It was that of man struggling against an overwhelming temptation. He turned pale, his lips werNscompressed, his hands clinched. TheK he stepped forward. There was nothing suggestive of the preacher in his manner.
 ''Stop itp he exclaimed, sternly, ''or I'll make you"
 Jake was so astonished that he could merely stare without word
 But to cease to be brute wouzl be an acknowledgment, he evidently thought, that he was afraid. So he turned to the boy and made move ment as though about to kick him
 Quick as a flash "Parson Dan sprang at him, and with a blow straight from the shoulder struck him on the. point of the jaw, Jake" fell tOthe floor like log. It was as clean knock out blow as I have ever seen delivered at a prize fight. The men broke out, with 8 spontaneous cheer. ''Parson, Dan" looked unutterably de jected fRNi &ai
 God forgive me-" he exclaimed, Eve broken my oath"
 What do you mean?" asked.
 Why, sir, years ago I used to be a prize fighter, and whenI got convert ed I took an oath that I'd never strike 8 man again, ana now I've done 1t. What will become of mel"
 Everybody assured him that nc angeFwould- record that blow to his discredit.-NewY York Herald
