DR.. ). Ill. cehhs discourse last
evening. at the Westminster freshs-
terrain Church, VAS listened 10 BY . very
large aad appreesatise audience. His
texi was taken froa the Gospel accord.
ing to e. Luke. Ky chapter. verses 10
inclusive:
The portions of the passages most
forelbly dseit upon were: Aud BE
spake this parable unto them, saying
what man OF you having an hundred
sheep, # he lose one of them, doth not
leave the ninety and nine ia the wider
ness, aud 90 alter that hieh is lost un-
al he fiua IT.
And when he hath found IL he
layeth II on bis shoulders. rejoicing.
Ana when he comelh home he
calletn together ms friends AID neigh
bars, SAVING unto them, rejoice with
nae, for have found my sheep winch
was lost.
II say unto you, that Likewise ioy
shall lac IN heaven over one sinner that
repenteth. more than over ninety AID
nine just persons, when need no re-
pentance.
Either what woman having ten
pieces OF silver, II she lose one, doth
not light candle and sweep the house,
aud seek diligently sIll she had III"
Both OF these stories has a separate
meaning and character IN itself. and
shows with what zeal and earnestncss
Jesus seeks all indiyid ual lost soul, as
well OF lis great rejoicing when lie
hath found il.
TO show the Intensity of these para
bles II might be said that tie rearing of
sheep IN those days was the main occu-
patton INDUCED IN; also a piece of sill
yer IN those days meant great deal
more 10 them than piece OF money
means 10 people OF modern times.
when we read tire passage OF scrip
ture which says that Christ came INTO
the world TO save sinDers, we may take
IL as meaning, that means me indiyid-
ually. / remember once. several years
since. while at my old home ON visit,
that my two little sisters were lost. No
one knew where They were. A most
securing search was made to find them,
during which ! could not but precelvc
the great grief. anguish and sorrow
displayed IN my mothers face. AT last
they were found, and, like the parable
OF the sheep, great rejoicing followed.
The scriptures lead us 10 believe, AS also
does our knowledge OF the life OF Jesus,
that the mothers sorrow over the loss
OF her babes is rs nothing compared
with His soui-consuming anxiety and
zeal III the loss of ore soul.
The fact is that you and do not take
this earnestness on the part of Our
Savior. 10 our own hearts, and this fact
creates the great difference between the
lost sheep and money of the parallels,
and ourselves as sinners. The shep-
ard, leaving the ninety and nine in the
wilderness, went 10 find the lost sheep.
When ne found 1t he placed it upon bus
shonlders-l very easy task. When
the woman found the piece of money
she simply cutched II and placed II
aside among It's former companions.
But in the case of ourselves IT is very
different. We do not always want 10
return 10 the fold. A very great diff
ference, indeed. God does not want
the body OF the sinner, he wants the
lost heart"

The Irfshnan Scored.

Gen. Bligh and his wife happened
to arrive at Yorkshire inn where
there was only just so much in the
larder as was sufficient for them, and
OF course they bespoke it. Some sport
ing gentlemen presently arrived, and
on hearing what had happened asked
who was the guest.
can Irish officer" said the landlord,
where upon one said:
"Oh, if he's Irish a potato will do
for him. Here, take my watch up to
him" "a very handsome gold one) land
ask him what's O'clock
The inquiry had, doubtless, some i'm
pertinent significance in those days,
which it has now lost; at all events it
brought down the general, with the
watch in his hand and pistol under
each arm.
II am come, " he said, sto tell you
what o'clock it is. Whose watch is
this?"
Everybody fastened to deny any
knowledge of it whatever.
'Then have made a mistake" said
the general ''in the company. I re-
celved an impudent message, which I
came down to resent, but I find I have
come to the wrong room.''
The watch, which would have paid
his dinner bill fifty times over, he kept
to his death, and left it by will to his
brother, the dean of Elphin.

His Personal Body Guard.

The personal body guard of the en-
peror of Germany, members of which
accompany him on his rides and ex-
cursions, consists of fifteen stalwart
young foresters, all of whom have
been trained under officials in the
royal forests. After serving their
three years in the army they are
''picked'' by a court marshal and per-
sonally presented to the emperor, who
selects those that seem fttest to be his
personal attendants. The rule is that
after term of service from nine to
twelve years they are allowed to retire,
when position as forester is given
them in the royal forests. The yoke
of service rests lightly on the body
guards, for they are on duty only every
fifth day, and for this they receive a
payment of G12 los. a truly magni-
ticent salary as compared with the
wages of some of the officials and do
mestics at the imperial palace.

The Notices Are All Right.

Visitors to the clerks office of the
superior court who have occasion to
use the writing table that stretches
across the room have been startled
recently by large placards tackled
about two feet apart informing whom
it may concern that "these inkstands
must not be taken away" Since
"these inkstands" are about the size
OF the average hat, and are kept filled
with ink, the warning seems quite as
gratuitous as it would be to placard
notices to people not to walk off with
a red hot stove.
A lawyer who took offense at these
notices got one of the office veterans
IN a corner the other day and asked
him if he did not think such notice
was carrying a joke perilously far.
The veteran shook his head, and in
saddened tones thus answered.: .,

should seek our guidance for the
future. New York Times.

The Marvellous Budget.

An English clergyman-no American
divine would ever have found the time
to do it-has written a book which he
calls 1.-The Marvellous Budget and
which is the Odyssey of Jack and Jill,
says the New York Critic. The first
four pages are numbered 1, the next
four are numbered 2, as many more are
numbered 3, and so on up to page 81
and last. The pages are so arranged
that any page marked will read con-
secutively with any page marked 1,
and so on. Now" says the clergy
man, IF you will inquire of your clever
cousin, Miss Girton, who has been in
for mathematics at Cambridge and so
knows all about figures, you will learn
that there are no less than sixty-fve
thousand five hundred and thirty-six
tales in this book about Jack and Jill,
no two of which are exactly alike"

ObseQufOus Servants.

A lady recently returned from Japan
adds another to the many tales of the
obsequiousness of Japanese servants.
In leaving the house one day with his
nurse, says an exchange, her little son
slipped and fell, receiving no injury
beyond few scratches.
The nurse upbraided herself in the
most extravagant terms, and called
down all sorts of dire consequences
upon her head. The other servants,
to whom the affair was told by the I'M
happy maid, were equally shocked and
outraged, and the jabbering and chat
tering lasted Unfortunately.
For weeks afterward the occurrence
was referred to as a dreadful calamity
and the day of its happening served
for a long time as a prominent date by
which to place other events. It is
farther stated that the accident was not
witnessed by any member of the fam
lily. 1t would never have been known
to the boys mother save for the in
tense and continued excitement it
created.

therein requesting the purchaser tc
correspond with the maker of the
shirt in a New Jersey manufacturing
town. She said she was working fol

pleased with her replies, went to New

ing it. It cost about $16,OOO,OOO.
The walls are of marble, inlaid with
comedian from Bagdad, and turquoise
from Thibet, and jasper from the
Puniaub, and ametheyst from Persia.
and all manner OF precious stones. A
traveller says that it seems to him like
the shining of an enchanted castle OF
FURNISHED silver. The walls are 245
feet high, and from the top of these
springs a dome 80 more feet high, the
dome containing the most wonderful
echo the world has ever known; so
that ever and anon travellers standing
below with flutes, and drums, and
harps, are testing the echo, and the
sounds from below strike up and then
come down as it were ....
THE VOICES OF ANGELS ...,
all around about the building. There
IS around it a garden of tamarind and
banyan and palm, and all the floral
glories Of the ransacked earth. But
that is only tomb of a dead empress,
and it is tame compared with the
grandeurs which God has builded for
your living and immortal spirit. Oh,
home of the blessed! Foundations OF
gold! Arches of victory! Cap-stones
OF praise And dome in which there
are echoing and re-echoing the hallelu-
jahs Of the ages. And around about
that mansion is garden-the garden
Of God-and all the springing foun-
tains are the bottled tears Of the
church in the wilderness, and all the
crimson OF the flowers is the deep hue
that was caught up from the carnage
OF earthly martyrdoms, and the fra

and the aroma puts into utter for
getfulness the cassia and the spiken-
ard, and the frankincense and the
world-reno owned spices which the Queen
Ball1is, Of Abyssinia flung at the feet
OF King Solomon.
When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarls, with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
Through obduracy on our part, and
through the rejection OF that Christ
who makes heaven possible, I wonder
il any of us will miss that spectacle?
[ fear! fear! The queen of the South
will rise up in judgment against this
generation and condemn it, because
she came from the uttermost parts OF
the earth to hear the wisdom of Sol
ONION, and behold, greater than SOL
ONION is here! May God grant that
through your own practical experience
you may find that religions ways are
ways OF pleasantness, and that all
her paths are paths of peace
that it is perfume now and
perfume forever. And there was an
abundance of spice; "neither was
there any such spice as the Queen OF
Sheba gave to King Solomon
