 So all artistic and literary advantages are in the Christians right. I do not care on whose wall the picture hangs, or on whose pedestal the sculpture stands, 1t belongs to Christians. The Bierstadts and the churches are all working for us. "All are yours" The Luxembourgs, the Louvre, all the gal leries of Naples and Rome and Venice they are all to come into the posses sion of the church of Jesus Christ We may not now have them on our walls, but the time will come when the writ of ejectment will be served and the church will possess everything. All parks, all fshponds, all colors, all harvests-all. "all are yours."
 FOOD AND CLOTHING.
 Secondly, remark that the right to full temporal support is in the Chris tian's name. It is great affair to feed the world. Just think of the fact that this morning sixteen hundred millions of our race breakfasted at Gods table! The commissary department of hun dred thousand men in any army will en- gage scores of people, but just think of commissary department of world! Think of the gathering up from the rice swamps, and the tea fields, and the or chards, and the fisheries! No one but God could tell how many bushels it would take to feed five continents. Then, to clothe all these people, how many furs must be captured and how much flax broken and how much cotton picked. Just think of the infinite ward robe where sixteen hundred millions of people get their clothesl God spreads the table first of all for his children. Of course that would be very selfish man who would not allow other people to come and sit at the table sometimes but first of all, the right is given to Christian people, and therefore it is ex- treme folly for them ever to fret about food or raiment
 Who fed the whales sporting off Cape Hatteras this morning? Out of whose hand did the cormorant pick it's food? Whose loom wove the butterfly's wing? Who hears the hawks cry? If God takes care of walrus, and a Siberian dog, and 8 wasp, will he not take care of youI Will father have more regard for rep tiles than for his sons and daughtersi If God clothes the grizzly bear, and the panther, and the hyena, will he not clothe his own children? Come, then, this morning, and get the key of the ip- finite storehouse. Come and get the key of the infinite wardrobe. Here they are-all the keys. "All are yours."
 So all the vicissitudes of this life, so far as they have any religious profit, are in the right of the Christian. If you should stand among the Alleghany mountains, especially near what is called the Horseshoe" you would find a train of cars almost doubling on itself, and sitting in the back car you see a locomo- tive coming as you look out of the win dow, and you think it is another train when it is only the front of the train in which you are riding, and sometimes you can hardly tell whether the train is going toward Pittsburg or toward Phil adelphia, but it is on the track, and it will reach the depot for which it started, and all the passengers will be discharged at the right place. Now there are 8 great many sharp curves in life. Some times we seem to be going this way and
 
 way, but if we are Christians we are on the right track and we are going to come out at the right place. Do not get wor- ried, then, about the sharp curve.
 A sailing vessel starts from New York for Glasgow. Does 1t go in 8 straight line? Oh, no. It changes it's tack every little while. Now you say, "This yes sel, instead of going to Glasgow, must be going to Havre, or it is going to Ham burg, or it is going to Marseilles." No, no. It is going to Glasgow. And in this voyage of life we often have to change our tack. One storm blows us this way, and another storm blows us that way; but he who holds the winds in his fist will bring us into haven of everlasting rest just at the right time. Do not worry, then, if you have to change tack.
 PAUL's LUCKY ACCIDENT.
 One of the best things that ever hap pened to Paul was being thrown off his horse. One of the best things that ever happened to Joseph was being thrown into the pit The losing of his physical eyesight helped John Milton to see the battle of the angels. One of the best things that ever happened to Ignatius was being thrown to the wild beasts in the Coliseum, and while eighty thou sand people were jeering at his religion he walked up to the fercest of all the lions and looked him in the eye, as much as to say, "Here I am, ready to be de- voured for Christ's sake."
 All things work together for your good. If you walk the desert, the mama will fall and the sea will part. If the feverish torch of sickness is kindled over your pillow, by its light you can read the promises. If the waves of trouble dash high above your girdle, across the blast and across the surge you can hear the promise, "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee" You never owned glove, or a shoe, or hat, or coat more certainly than you own all the frets and annoyances and exasperations of this life, and they are bound to work out your present and your eternal good. They are the saws, the hammers, the files by which you are to be hewn and cut and smoothed for | your eternal we'll being.
 Here is vessel that goes along the coast; it hugs the coast. The captain of that vessel seems chiefly anxious to keep the paint on his ship from being marred or the sails from being torn. When that vessel comes to port, nobody looks on it with any interest. But here is vessel that went across the sea with vast product and comes in with vast i'm portation- sails patched, masts spliced, pumps all working to keep out the water; 1t has come through the hurri- cane which has sunk twenty steamers. The bronzed men are cheering among the rigging. Now the men-of-war an | chnrad in tha harhnr boom forth thair
