ness and conservation such asIne.
of in any one else, she said to N,
Father, what if, after all, our pl4ere
and struggles should go for nothin..
Why could she not, after all the trials an
sic1nesses and bereavements of a long lif
and the inlirmities Of old age, be allowe'
to 60 without such a cruel stroke from
Doubt, the giant2 Do you wonder hav
q grudge against the old monster? If

than Satan got when, hurled ont 0

I bottom of perdition.
THE CHURCH MUST PREVAIL.
Another impression from my subject
/ The march Of the church cannot be i'm
peded by giganticopposition That Israel
itish host led on by Moses was the church
and when Og, the giant (him of the irn
bedstead), came out against him with an
other host-a fresh host against one that
seemed worn out-things must have looked
bad for Israel. No account is given of the
bedstead Of Moses, except that one in
which he first slept-the cradle of aquatic
vegetation on the Nile, where the wife Of
Chelephres, the king, found the floating
babe and, having no child of her own
adopted him. Moses of ordinary size
against Og of extraordinary dimensions.
Besides that Og was backed up by sixty
fortified cities. Moses was backed uD
seemingly by nothing but the desert that
had worn him and his army into a group
Of undisciplined and exhausted stragglers.
But the Israelites triumphed. If you spell
the name of Og backward you turn it into
the word Go" and 0g was turned back
ward and made to go.
With Og's downfall all the sixty cities
surrendered. Nothing was left Of the giant
except his iron bedstead which was kept
in museum at Rabbath to show how tall
ana stout he once was So shall the last
giant of opposition in the church's march
succumb. Not sixty cities captured, but
all the cities. Not only ON one side Of Jor-
dan. but on both sides of all the rivers.
The day is coming. Hear it, all We who
are doing something for the conquest Of
the world for God and the truth, the time
will come when, as there was nothing left
of Og, the giant, but the iron bedstead
kept at Rabbath as a curiosity, there will
be nothing let Of the giants of iniquity ex-
ecps something for the relic hunters to ex-
anime.
Which of the giants will be the last slain
] know not, but there will be museum
somewhere to hold the relics Of what they
once were. A rusted sword viii be hung
up-the only relic of the giant of War A
demijohn-the only relic OF the giant Of In
ebriation. A roulette ball-the only relic
of the giant of Hazard. Apictured certifi-
cate of watered stock-the only relic OF tie
giant Of Stock Gambling, A broken knife
1.-THE only relic of the giant of Assassina-
tion. A yellow copy of Tom Paine-the
only relic Of the giant Of Unbelief. And
that museum will do for the later ages of
the world what the iron bedstead at Rab
bath did for the earlier ages. Do you not
see it makes all the difference in the world
whether we are fighting on toward a mis-.
cradle defeat or toward a final victory?
All the Bible promises prophesy the lat
ter, and so cheer you who are iha troops
0F God, and though many things are dark
now, like Alexander / review tie army by
torchlight, and ! give you the watehworl
which Martin Luther proclaimed, "The
Lord of Hostsr' 'rhe Lord of HOstsr'
and cry out eSultingly with Oliver
Cromwell at the battle of Dunbar, Let
Sod arise; let his enemies be scattered"

and Mary Moffatt, the missionaries who

years without one convert when asked

gathering Of many souls was realized and |

it. Appropriately did that mis-
