STORY OF ST. PATRICK.

Presbyterian Minister Talks of the Name
for the Salvation of the Irish-Features
of His Life.
Rev. E R. Donehoo, of the Eighth Pres
bvterian Church, West End. selected for
us evening subject the life of ST. Patrick
His text was from Psalm cxii., 6: "The
righteous shall be in everlasting remem-
Arance."
Barring the discourse he said: 'Manv a
faithful soldier of the Cross has fallen at his
post and lain neglected among the undistin-
euishable dead who are thickly strewn upon
lie field of conflict. In the catalogue of
saints and martyrs described in Hebrews
-. who through faith subdued Kingdoms,
wrought Righteousness, obtained promises
stopped the mouths of lions. quenched the
violence of fire, escaped the edge of the
sword etc, not a single name of them all
is preserved for our grateful recognition.
What is implied is that the deeds done for
truth and righteousness will be remem-
bered when all things earthly have become
forgotten.
"Who was st. Patrick? Where was he
born, and when? What has ne done to
merit consideration at our hands? We
ought not to hesitate to answer these Ques-
from Bonavem in Tabernia, but the tronble
is that our maps indicate no such place. and
geographers throw no light upon the SUBJ
iect. Some say that he came from Strath-
CLYDE in Britain, in what is now known as
Dumbarton, Scotland. Others incline to the
opinion that he came from Brittany in
France, and from the town of Boulogne-sur-
mer. In his famous confession he acknowl-
edges himself to be sinner, which is more
humbling description of himself than many
of his pretended biographies say of him. At
the age OF Is he was carried off into Ireland
by pirates, and sold as slave to an Irish
chieftain, where, for six years, he served
as herdsman of cattle not far from the
city of Ballymena, in County Antrim. While
engaged in this servile occupation the teach
ings of his early life bore fruit in his con-
version. Escaping from captivity he made
his way to his home, and there, after prepa-
ration, he resolved to return to Ireland and
proclalm the gospel to the benighted
heather of that country.
'St. Patrick was a good and faithful min
lister OF the Cross, whose name deserves to
be held IN lasting remembrance by all who
honor nobility of character, blended with
the deepest and most unselfish love for God
and his fellowman. After ell the fulsome
eulogles passed upon his character it still
remains that St Patrick WAS an humble and
faithful minister of the Lord Jesus Christ,
who, out of burning desire to honor the
Savior, devoted his life to good works and
to the proclamation of the everlasting gospel
to the perishing"

''The City Which Hath Foundations" His
text was, "For he sought a city which hath
foundations whose maker and builder Is
God" lie said one involuntariy associates
the idea of greatness with the city OF Goo or
with any work to which Gods name Is at
tached. He called attention to the great
cities of Rome, Babylon, London, and OF
America, and then said to think OF all these
in one great aggregation, and you have but a
hint of the vastness OF the city OF God.
He then referred to the figures OF astrono-
mers which seem incredible. but they only
know a small portion of the universe. and
in the center of all this God had placed His
great city OF unchang1ng foundations IN
which He has placed everything to delight
the eve, the ear the taste and the mind-so
great that earthly joys are but an lnt1ma-
tion of what is to come. He also said peo-
ple were transformed into condition to en-
joy everything to the fullest extent.
lie said this city would always be attrac-
tive to the people of earth because 1t was
the home of the living God and was the re-
suit of His handiwork. He referred to the
works and great buildings of great men, and
then asked what the heavenly city must be
since its Maker has ali power and every Re-
source.

THE BRIDEGRooM,s COMING.
Rev. DIR. Sutherland Once More Expounds
the New Testament Parable.

the New Testament Parable,
In his sermon last night on ''The Coming
of the Bridegroom" DIR. Sutherland said:
eSince the establishment of the Church IL
has been made up of two classes-the genuine
and the insincere professors. There are
those in the Church to-day, and 1 presume
in every church, who have the lamps but not
the oil. Seemingly they are prepared for
the coming of the Bridegroom Thew with
the true disciples, go out to meet Him but
when the cry is heard, Behold the Bride
groom cometh," they waken up to the sad
fact that they are without oil for their
lamps OF what account is their profession
in a crisis like that? Like the foolish virgins
OF the parable they may, when made sensi-
BILE of their lack, try to borrow, but they
cannot for no one has or can have more
than enough for himself.
"No one can share his or her Christian
yraces with another, and even were such a
thing possible the transfer would be value
less to the recipient. 1t is not a thing one
can trade or part with-except at the DEVILS
counter Character is a personal thing, and
it is by personal effort alone it can be formed
and built up. 1t is fearful to think OF a
human soul deluding itself with the notion
that no matter what the life is or NAV be
the death will he triumphant and peaceful.
The one essential condition of religion
that will fit one for place at the marriage
supper of the Lamb is sincerity"

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
1. Only God can reveal the future; it
is His signature to His word.
9. Downward tendency of society
without religion-from gold to silver, to
brass, to iron.
8. God is in all history. The world is
not abandoned of God.
4. All earthly things pass away; Gods
word and kingdom abide forever.
5. 1t is great privilege to belong to
this everlasting kingdom.
6. Great results come from small be-
ginnings.
Z. The powers that are to rule the
world, and break every evil kingdom
to pieces are the unseen principles of
the kingdom of God.
s. Stronger faith in the Word OF God
is the fruit of that Words fulfllment

The Wearing Of Rubbers.

There is comfort, undoubtedly, in
"rubbers, when the snow or still worse
the slush, is ankle deep. Judiciously
worn, where the only alternative is
thin shoes, they are beyond question
highly useful in preserving health, and
preventing colds. influenza, grip, pneu..
monia and the whole procession OF
evils which keep step with the soppy
tread OF wet feet. But indiscrmlna'
tely and constantly worn rubber
shoes do quite as much harm rs good,
and bring on the very troubles they
are intended to prevent. They keep
the foot soaked in its own prespira,.
ton, cause it to become tender, ana
make it more than ever susceptible to
the cold when the rubber shoe hap
pens to be off. The change from rup,
bers to no rubbers, even III dry cold
weather, is always more or less haz-
ardous, A stout shoe with tnick
sole is after all the preferable thing
both as a measure OF safety and as q
source of solid comfort.

Feathered Surgeons,

Some interesting observations from
the San Francisco Call as to the sur
gical treatment OF wounds by birds
were recently brought by NJ. Fatio be-
fore the Physical Society OF Geneva.
According to the Medical Record, he
quoted the case OF a snipe which he
had often observed engaged i'll repair
ing damages. With its beak and
feathers it makes a very creditable
dressing, applying plasters to bleeding
wounds, and even securing'a broken
limb by means OF stout ligature. On
one occasion he killed a snipe which
had on the chest a large dressing COM
posed of down taken from other parts
OF the body and securely fixed to the
wound by the coagulated blood.
Twice he had brought home snipe
with interviewer feathers strapped on
the site OF fracture Of one or other

WIN Of an English Peabody.

The late David Lewis. of n clothing
firm in Liverpool and Manchester, be-
queathed all his fortune, except an
annuity for his wife and q few legacies,
for the benefit of the working classes
OF Liverpool and Manchester. The
fund is about $1,OOO,OOO and may
amount to $1,75O,OOO. He directed
his residuary legatees to use the mon.
ey for the benefit Of the poor OF Liver

them personally, in order to satisfy
the law and trusting in their obedience
to his instructions. Five or six gen.
