nerished Iiyv wrote sne hundred and
forty books; only thirty-fve of them re-
main. Eschylus wrote one hundred
dramas; only seven remain. Euripides
wrote over hundred; only nineteen re-
main. Varro wrote the biographies OF
over seven hundred great Romans. All
that wealth of biography has persisted.
If good and valuable books have such
struggle to live, what must be the fate OF
those that are diseased and corrupt and
blasted at the very start. They will die as
the frogs when the Lord turned back the
plague. The work of Christianization will
90 on until there will be nothing left but
good books, and they will take the SUI
premacy of the world. May you and l live
to see the illustrious day
FIGHT THE BAD WITH THE GOOD.
Against every bad pamphlet send good
pamphlet; against every unclean picture
send an innocent picture: against every
scurrilous song send "A Christian song;
against every bad book send 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
missas be substituted; and the war came
on, and am glad to say that the whole
matter having been referred to champions,
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 liter
allure, the Christian literature, in its cham
pionship for God and the truth, will bring
down the evil literature in its champion
ship for the devil. | 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 our 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 usf'
Lady Hester Stanhope was the daughter
of the third Earl of Stanhope, and after
her nearest friends had died she went to
the far east, took possession of 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
home for the unfortunate. She was
devout Christian woman. She was wait
ing for the coming of the Lord. She ex-
pected that the Lord would descend in per
son, and she thought upon it until it was
too much for her reason. In the magnifi-
cent 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 fanaticism and delusion;
but there was romance, and there was
splendor, and there was thrilling expecta-
ton in the dreaml
An, my friends, we need no earthly pal
freys groomed and saddled and bridled 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 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 fol-
| lowed him on white horses, and on his
vesture and on his thigh were written,
King of kings, and Lord of lords" Horse
men of heaven, mount! Cavalry Of God,
ride onl Charge! charged until they shall
be hurled back on their haunehes-the
black horse of famine, and the red horse OF
carnage, and the pale horse of death.
Jesus foreverl
