..ght of those candles, held up by the idols,
General Hayelock preached righteousness,
temperance and Judgment to come. And
who will say, on earth or in heaven, that
Havelock had not the right to preach?
THE MOVING PRAYER OF FAITH.
In the minister's house where prepared
for college there was a man who worked
by the name of Peter Croy. He could
neither read nor write, but he was
man of God. Often theologians would
stop in the house-.grave theologians-and
at family prayers Peter Croy would be
called upon to lead, and all those wise men
sat around, wonderstruck at his religious
efficiency. When he prayed he reached up
and seemed to take hold of the very throne
of the Almighty, and he talked with God
until the very heavens were bowed down
into the sitting room. Oh, if were dying
l would rather have plain Peter Croy kneel
by my bedside and commend my immortal
spirit to God than some heartless ecclesi-
astic arrayed in costly canonicals. Go
preach this gospel. You say you are not
licensed In the name of the Lord Al
mighty, this morning, L license you. Go
preach this gospel-preach it in the Sab
bath schools, in the prayer meetings, in the
highways, in the hedges. Woe be unto
you if you preach it not.

| triumph of the truth and the overthrow
of wickedness. How dare the Christian
church ever get discouraged? Have we not
the Lord Almighty on our side? How long
did it take God to slay the hosts of Senna-
cherib or burn Sodom or shake down
Jericho2 How long will it take God, when
he once arises in his strength, to overthrow
all the forces of iniquity? Between this
time and that there may be long seasons of
darkness-the chariot wheels of Gods Cos

the promise and yonder is the throne; and
when Ominiscience has lost it's eyesight
and Omuipotence falls back impotent and
I Jehovah is driven from his throne, then
the church Of Jesus Christ can afford to be
respondent, but never until then. Despots
may plan and armies may march, and the
congresses of the nation may seem to think
they are adjusting all the affairs of the
world, but the mighty men of the earth are
| only the dust of the chariot wheels of God IS
providence.
!. think that before the sun of this CEN
tury shall set, the last tyranny may fall,
and with splendor of demonstration that
shall be the astonishment of the universe
| God will set forth the brightness and pomp
| and glory and perpetuity of his eternal
| government Out of the starry flags and
the emblazoned insignia of this world God
will make path for his own triumph, and
returning from universal conquest he will
sit down, the grandest, strongest, highest
throne of earth his footstool.
Then shall all nations song ascend
To Thee, our Ruler, Father, Friend,
Till heavens high arch resounds again
With Peace on earth, good will to men,"
THERE IS GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT.
