 the cradle of aquatic vegetation on the Nile, where the wife of Che nephres, the king, found the floating babe, and having no child of her own adopted him. Moses of ordi- nary size against Og of extraordi- nary dimensions.
 Besides that Og was backed up by sixty fortified cities. Moscs was backed up seemingly by nothing but the desert that had worn him and his army into a group of undisci- plined and exhausted stragglers. But the Israelites triumphed. If you spell the name of Og backward you turn it into the word Go" and Og was turned backward and made to go. With Og's downfall all the sixty cities surrendered. Nothing was loft of the giant except his iron bedstead, which was kept in a museum at Rab- bath to show how tall and stout he once was.
 So shall the last giant of opposition in the church's march succumb. Not sixty cities captured, but all the cit ies. Not only on ono side of Jordan, but on both sides of all tho rivera The day is coming. Hear it all ye ' who are doing something for the con- | quest 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 b. nothing left of the giants of iniquity except something for the relic hunt | CTS to examine
 Which of the giants will be tho last slain know not, but there will be a museum somewhere to hold the relics of what they once were A rusted sword will be hung up-the only relic of the giant of war. A demijohn- the only relic of the giant of Ine5ria- ton. A roulette ball-the only relic of the giant of Hazard A pictured certificate of watered stock-the only relic of the giant of Stock Gambling. A broken knife-the only relic of the giant of Assassination. A yellow copy of Tom Paine-the only relic of the giant of Unbelicf And that mu- scum will do for the later ages of tho world what the iron bedstead at Rab- bath did for the earlier ages.
 Do you not see it makes all the diff ference in the world whether we are fighting on toward miserable defeat or toward a final victoryi All the Bible promises prophecy the latter, and so cheer you who are the troops of God, and though many things arc dark now, like Alexander I review the army by torchlight, and give you the watchword which Martin Luther proclaimed, The Lord of Hosts" "The Lord of HostsI' and I cry out exultingly, with Oliver Cromwell at the battle of Dunbar, "Let God arise; let his enemies bo scattered" ...
 Make all the preparations for the worlds evangeliHation. Have the faith of Robert and Mary Moffat, the missionaries, who, after preaching in Bechuanaland for ten years without one convert, when asked what they would like to have sent them by way of gift from England, said, Send n communion service for it will be surely needed :" and sure enough the expected ingathering of many souls was realized and the communion serv- ice arrived in time to celebrate 1t Appropriately did that missionary write in an album when his auto graph was requested:
 | My album Is the savage breast,
 | Where darkness reigns and tempests wrost. | Without ono ray of light.
 To write the name of Jesus therc,
 And point 10 worlds both bright and fair, | And sec tho savage bowed in prayer, Is my supreme delight.

 Whatever your work and wherever you work for God-forward Ycu in your way and in my way. With holy pluck, fight on with something of the strength of Thomas Trou- bridge who at Inkermann had one leg shot of and the foot of the other leg, and when they proposed to carry him of the field replied: No; I do not move until the battle is won" Whatever be the rocking of the church or state, have tho calmness of the aged woman in an earthquake that frightened everybody else, and who, when asked if sho was not afraid, said, No, am glad that have a God who can shake the world"
 Whether your work be to teach a Sabbath class, or nurse m invalid, or reform a wanderer, or print tract, or train a household, or boar tho querulousness of senility, or checr the disheartened, or lead n 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 rod rose.
 And, now, bargain with you that we will come back some day from our superstellar abode to sec how the world looks when it shall be fully emparadised-its last tear wept, it's last wound healed, its last shaclxle broken, it's last desert gardenizcd, it's last giant of iniquity decapitated. And when we land, may it be.some- where near this spot of earth where we have together toiled and strug- gled for the kingdom of God, and may it be about this hour in the high noon of some glorious Sabbath, look ing into the upturned faces of some great audience radiant with holiness and triumph.
