when, hurled out of heaven, tho first
thing he struck was the bottom OF perdi-

peded by YIHluliC opposition. That
lsraclitish host lcd,Ou by Moses was the
church, aud when Oy, the giant (him of
tho iron bedstcad), came out against
HIM with another hOst--a fresh host
against one that seemed worn out--thiuy
must have looked bad for Israel. No ac-
count is given Of Lhe Eedste of Moses
except that one in which he first slept
the cradle OF aquatic vegetation on the
Nile. where the vile Of Chcaephres, the
king, found the floating babe and, having
no child other own, adopted him. Moses
OF ordinary sizo against o. Of eXtraord-
nary dimensions. Besides that o. was
backed up by sixty fortified cities.
Moses was backed Up seemingly by moth
ing but the desert that had worn him
and his army INTO group OF undisciplin-
cd and exhausted stragglcrs. But the
lsraelitcs triumphed. Ifyou spelt the
name of o. backward YOU turn it into
the word CO." and o. was turned
backward and made to 30.
With OS's downfall all the sixty cities
surrendered. Nothing was left Of the
giant except his iron bedstcad, was kept
IN museum at RabbaLh to show how
tall and stout hc once was. SO shall the
last giant Of opposition in tho church's
mar III succu NIB. Not sixty cities cap
tured, but all the cities. Not only on
one side of Jordan, but on both sides of
all the rivers. The day is coming. Hear
it, all ye 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 Oy, the gaint,
but tho iron badstcad kept at Rabbl.h
as curiosity, there Will be nothin. lett
OF the giants of in'quitY except some
thing for the relics hunters to examine.
Which Of the giants will be the last
slain | know not, but there will be a
museum somewhere to mold the relics
OF what they once were. a ruSted
sword will be hung Il. the only relic
OF the giant Of War. y demjohn-
the only relic of the giant Of Inebration
n roulette ball-the only relic of the
giant of Hazard. a lictured crrtii-
cate or Watertd st0ck-the only relic Of
he giant Of Stock rambling. y broken
knlIe--thn only relic Of the giant OF
Assassination. n yellow copy of Tom
Paine only relic OF the giant of
Cnbeliet. And that museum Will do
for the later ages of the world what the
iron brdstead at Rabbath did for the
earlier ages. DO YOU not see it makes
all the difference in the world whether
W" are lighting on toward Il miserable
defeat or toward Il final victory?
All the Bible PROMISES prophrSy the
latter, and so cheer YOU who are the
troops of God, and though many things
are dark nov, like Alexander review
the army by t0rchiiHht, and give you
the watchword which, Martin Luther
proclaimed, "rhr Lord Of Hosts"
"Ihr Lord Of Hosts" ANA cry out cX-
ultlnGiy with Oliver Cromwell If the
battle Of Dnnhar, "L"t God arise; Jet
his enemies be sratterrd.' Make all
the preparations for She worlds cyan
gtllZation. Have .hr faith o! Robert
and Mary Motlntt, the missionaries, who
after preaching in iicchunnAland for
ten years without Ouc convert when
asked what they would litc to have
sent thrm by way nt gift from England,
sad, "Srhd Il communion service, for
1t will be surely nccded;' and sure
enough the expected inga,hrring Of
many souls was realized and the coin
munlOn service arrived in time to crle-
brate It. Appropriately did that mis-
Si0narv write in an album when his nu
togrpph was rtqueStCd:
My album is the savage breast,
Where darkness rcigns and tcmprStS wrcst
Without ono ray of light.
TO write the name of Jesus there
And point to worlds both bright and fair,
And see the savage bowed in prayer,
Is my supreme delight.
Whatever your work and wherever
you work for God-forward, You in
Jour way and | III my way. With pluck
light on with something of the strength
of Thomas TrouOridge, who at Inker-
mann had one leg Shot off and the foot
OF the other leg, and when they propoS-
ed to carry him Off the ield, replied:
NO, do hot move until the batl IL is
W0n.' Whatever lie the rocking OF the
church or state, have the calmncss Of
the aged woman in an earthquake that
frightened everybody else, and who,
when asked if she was not afraid, said,
mo; am glad that | have a God who
can shake the world" Whether your
work be to teach Sabbath class, or
nurse an invalid, or reform wander
er, or train a household, or bear the
quietousness Of Henility, or cheer the
dlSheartened, or lead soul TO Christ,
know that by 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
VIII come back some day from our Su-
perstellar abode to see how the world
looks when it shall be fnlly empara-
diSed-its last tear wept, its last wound
healed, its last shackle broken, its last
desert gardenized, its last giant of in-
lquity decapitated. And when we
land, may it be somewhere near this
spot Of earth where we have together
toiled and struggled for the kingdom
Of God, and may it be about this hour
IN the high noon of some glorious Sab
bath looking into the upturned faces
of some great audience radiant with
holiness and triumph.
