nineteen remain. NarrO wrote the biog-
raphies of over seven hundred great
Romans. All tIrat wealth of biography
has persisted. If good and valuable
books have such.a struggle to live what
must be the fate,Of those that are dis
eased and corrupt and blasted at the
very start? They will die as the frogs
when the Lord turned back tie plague.
The work of Discrimination viii go on
until thore Will be nothing left but
good books, and'they will take the SUI
premacy of the world. May you and |
live to see the iElustrious day!
COUNTERPART THE BAD WITH GOOD.
Against every bad pamphlet send a
good pamphlet; against every unclean
picture send an innocent picture;
against every scur2ilous song send a
Christian song ;sagainst every bad book
send a good book; and then it will be
as it was in ancient Toledo, where the
Toletum missals were kept by the saints
in six churches, and the sacrilegious
Romans demanded that those missals
be destroyed, and that the Roman mis-
sails be substituted and the war came
on, and am glad to say that, the whole
matter having been referred to cham
pions, the champion of the Toletum
missals with one blow brought down
the champion of the Roman missals
So it will be in our day.
The good literature, the Christian
literature, in its championship for God
and the truth will bring down the evil
literature in its championship for the
devil l feel tingling to the tips of my
fingers and through all the nerves of
my body and all the depths of my soul
the certainty of ouf triumph. Cheer
up, oh men and women who are toiling
for the publication of society," Toll
with your faces in the sunlight. IF
God be for us, who, Who can be against
us?'
Lady Hester Stanhope was the daugh-
ter of the third Earl of Stanhope and
after her nearest friends had died she
went to the far east took possession of
a deserted convent, threw up fortresses
amid the mountains of Lebanon, opened
the castle to the poor and the wretched
and the sick who would come in She
made her castle a home for the unfOrtu-
nate. She was q devout Christian
woman. She was waiting Tor the com
ing of the Lord. She expected that the
Lord would descend in person, and she
thought upon it until it was too much
for her reason. In the magnificent
stables of her palace she had two horses
groomed and bridled and saddled and
caparisOned, and all ready for the day
in which her Lord should descend and
he on one of them and she on the other
should start for Jerusalem, the city of
the Great King. 1t was Il fanaticism
and a delusiOn; but there was romance,
and there was splendor, and there was
thrilling expectation in the dreaml
All! my friends, we need no earthly
palfreys groomed and saddled and bri-
died and caparisoned for our Lord
when he shall come The horse is
ready in the equerry of heaven, and
the imperial rider is ready to mount
and | saw, and behold q white horse,
and he that sat on him had bow; and
a crown was given unto him; and he
went forth conquering and to conquer.
And the armies which were in heaven
followed him on white horses, and on
his vesture and on his thigh were writ
ten, King of kings and Lord of lords
Horsemen of heaven, mount Caval-
rymen of God, ride on! Charge
charge! until they shall be hurled back
on their haunches-the black horse of
famine, and the red horse of carnage,
and the pale horse of death. Jesus
forever!
