Which of the giants will be the last slain
know not, but there will be museum some
where to hold the relics OF what they once
were A rusted sword will be hung up-the
the only relic Of the giant OF Inebriation:
A roulette ball-the only relic or the giant or
Hazard. pictured certificate of watered
stocks-the only relic OF the giant OF Stock
Gambling A broken knife-the only relic
of the giant OF Assassinat ton. A yellow
copy OF Tom Paine-the only relic of the
giant Of Unbelief. Aud that museum will
do for the later ages OF the world what the
iron bedstead at Rabbath did for the earlier
ages. Do YOU not see it makes all the differ
ence in the world whether we are fighting
on toward miserable defeat or toward a
final victory?
All the Bible promises prophesy the latter,
and so cheer you who are the troops or
God, and though many things are dark now,
like Alexander 1 review the army by torch
light, and give you the watchword which
Martin Luther proclaimed, The Lord OF
Hostsv' 1.-The Lord of Hostsw and I cry
out exultingly with Oliver Cromwell at the
battle of Dunbar. Let God arise: let His
arations for the worlds evangelization.
Have the faith of Robert and Mary Moffatt,
the mlssioners, who after preaching In
Bechuanaland for ten years without one
convert when asked what they would like 60
have sent them by the way OF gift from
IL
for it will be surely needed" and sure
enough the expected ingathcring of many
souls was realized and the communion ser
vice arrived in time to celebrate 1t. APP
propriately did that missionary write in an
album when his autograph was requested:
Ny album Is the savage breast
Where darkness regns and tempests wrest,
Without one ray of light.
To write the name of Jesus there
And point to worlds both bright and fair,
And the bowed in PRAYER
Is my supreme delight.
Whatever your work and wherever you
work for God-forward! You in your way
and in nv way. With holy pluck fight on
with something of the strength of Thomas
Troubridge, who at [ukermann had one leg
shot off and the foot of the other leg, and
when they proposed to carry him off the
field, replied: ''No. do not move until the
battle is won" Whatever be the rocking of
the church or state, have the ca!mness Of the
aged woman in an earthquake that fright
ened everybody else, and who, when
asked il she was not afraid, said
mo: I am glad that I have a God
who can shake the world" Whether your
work be to teach a Sabbath class, or nurse
an invalid, or reform a wanderer, or print a
tract, or train a household, or bear the
querulousness Of senility, or cheer the dis
heartened, or lead soul to Christ, know
that 10y fidelity you may help hasten the
time when the world shall be showed under
with white lily and incarnadined with red
rose.
And now bargain with you that we will
come back some day from our supersteller
abode to how the world looks when it
shall be fully emparadised--its last tear
wept, its last wound healed, its last shackle
broken, its last desert gardenized, its last
giant or 1n1qulty decapitated. And wnen
we land, may it be somewhere near the spot
of earth where we have together toie4 anu
struggled for the kingdom OF God, and may
it be about this hour in the hlgn noon Of
some glorious Sabbath, looking into the uo-
turned faces Of some great audience radiant
with holiness and triumph.
