THE NEW YEAR.
Rev. Burrel1 breaches a Sermon
Upon 1t.

upon Ii.
Last night, at Westminster church,
Rev. d. J. Burrell preached New
Year sermon from, IF thou doest
well'-what then? Gen. Al. He said .
1.-Two affairs; one smoking with an
oblation, the drstling of the flock; the
other heaped with corn and olives and
grapes. By the former, a man kneellng
with upturned face, his heart full of
gladness, his lips trembling with praise :;
by the latter. man with hands clencIed
and passion in his heart, curSlng fate
and meditating an awful deed. TO him
God speaks, "Why art thou wroth and
why is thy countenance fallen? If thou
doeSt well shalt thou not be accepted?
And if thou dOeSt not WELL sin lieth at
the door," To us who, during the past
year, have all sinned and come short of
the divine glory this voice speaks with
a peculiar significance at the beginning
of 1891. Our purposes have been too
low and unworthy, our goodness has
been unworthy the name. eff thou
doest not well''-that means every one
of us. What then? The expression,
"sn lieth at the door," is capable of
three interpretations, all Ringing on the
word ''hattath," here rendered sin.
FlrSt-1t may De UNDERSTOOD as rep
resenting sin in the guise of slave,
bowling at our door and waiting to obey
us. The lust, avarice, unhOly ambition,
selfshness, envy, or whatever else may
have been our favOrite servant in 1890,
awaits our bidding at the opening of
the new year. We are free to go Oh as
before. But let it be understood that a
liberty INDUCED in becomes tendency.
and tendency hnmOred becomes
habit, and habit persisted in becomes
a master with whip OF scorpions in his
hand.
"Second-The word here rendered
sin may mean penalty; and. if we so
understand it, the figure changes, and
we have ravenous beast crouching at
the door; lean tiger awaiting its prey.
If it were possible to eliminate God
from the universe, the law of retribu-
ton would still be in full force; the
soul that sinneth it shall die!'
"Third-sA sin-Offering lieth at thy
door, Here the figure is that of lamb
ready for the altar. 1t is, indeed, true
that if any man feels the burden of his
sin he may be relieved at the cross; for
the Lamb slain from the foundation of
the world has made atOnement for sin.
Just as am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
o Lamb of God, come, l Gomez

TEMPTING THE GATORS
Proverbial Carelessness of For

Marshes.

Proverbial CareIessness of For
eigners in the Far Southern
Marshes.
You have perhaps iourneyed between
New Orleans and Mobile, and remem-
Der the vast expanse of marsh with
waterways cutting through it. says the
Detroit Free Press. In the midst of this
desolation is club house and railway
station called English Lookout. 1t is
still good fishing and hunting ground,
but the alligator has become so scarce
that the sight of one is novelty. Ten
or twelve years ago they craWled across
the railroad tracks, and passengers had
but to look out of the windows to see
them swimming.
One day, during my weeks stay at the
club, several boats were going out, and
one of them was occupied by French
army officer, who was also a guest He
had OIL frOck coat, and when seated in
the stern of the skiff the tails almost
touched the water.
Better take off that coat, or pin the
tails up" said one OF the punterS as his
attention was directed.
"Why?"
Because an alligator may pull you
overboard.'
The Frenchman laughed and shrugged
his shoulders and led the way down the
channel. Four boats of us anchored
about 100 feet apart, and the craft l was
in was next to the officers. The fish
were biting hot and heavy, and for an
hour no one paid any attention to any
body else. l tangled my line in pulling
in a fish, and, while working at the
knots, happened to glance toward the
Frenchman. just as | did so saw the
still waters broken behind him, caught
sight of black object thrust above the
surface, and next instant, uttering a
scream which was heard half mile
away, the man was pulled out of the
boat and under water.
We hurried to the spot. but nothing
whatever marked the site of the tragedy.
Even his hat had gone. We rowed up
and down and beat the banks, but it
was useless.
'Told him So" said the punter, as we
gave up the search. Them foreigners
don't seem to know about gators. We
had a Prussian here last month, and
what did he do but hang his legs in the
water, and he was pulled off the boat,
with me only four feet away"

Gospel, but it leaves us the blessed old
one. What we need is not new doctrine.
but the practice of what we know. The
Christ of the old year will be our judge
when we face the ''Great White
Throne and the passing years will
soon bring us individually to that.
Spite of all the chances and changes

can bring each human being may con-

his character fixes his destiny: second,
that the One who changes not with

namely, to prevent cruelty to animals.
No Misrepresentation were made-by

publishers had offered TO send certain
number of copies of the Humane Jour
