The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1892-03-18

museum somewhere To hold the relics
of what they once were, A I1isted
sword will be hung up-the only relic
of the giant of war. A demijohn-
the only relic of The giant of Inebria,
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 Unbelief. And that mu-
scum 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 diff
ference in the world whether we are
fighting on toward a miserable defeat
or toward final victoryl All the
Bible promises prophesy the latter,
and so | cheer you who are the troops
of God, and though many things are
dark now, like Alexander l review
the army by torchlight, and ] give
you the watchword which Martin
Luther proclaimed, The Lord of
Hostsm "The Lord of HostsW and
l cry out exultingly, with Oliver
Cromwell at the battle of Dunbar,
LET God arise; let his enemies be
scattered"
Make all tho preparations for the
worlds evapgelization 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 a
communion service for it will be
surely needed and sure enough the
expected ingathering of many souls
was realized and the communion serv-
lee arrived in time to celebrate it.
Appropriately did that missionary
write in an album tThen his auto
graph was requested;
/ Ny album is the savage breast,
Where darkness reigns and tempests wrest,
Without one ray of light.
| TO write the name Of Jesus there,
j And point to worlds both bright and fair,
And see the savage bowed in prayer,
Is my supreme delight;
FORWARD
Whatever your work and wherever
you work for God-forward You
in your way and in my way. With
holy pluck fight on with something
Of the strength Of Thomas Trou-
bridge, who at Inkerniann had one
leg shot off and the foot of the other
leg, and when they proposed to carry
him off the field replied: mo; l do
not move until the battle is won"
Whatever be the rocking of the
church or state, have the calmness of
the aged woman in an earthquake
that frightened everybody else, and
who, whea asked if she was not
afraid, said, mo, l am glad that l
have a God who can shake the
World"
Whether your WUik bn TO teach
Sabbath class or nurse an invalid, or

or train a household, or bear the
querulousness of senility, or cheer
the disheartened, 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 will come back s6iiie day from
our superstellar abode to see 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 gsrdenized, its
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
