sinner you may become the best saint, and in the great day of judgment it will be found that "where sin abounded grace does much more abound" and while the spells of an everlasting king dom are being awarded for your pur- suit it will be found that "the lame took the prey" Blessed be God that we are this Sabbath one week nearer the oblit- eration of all the inequalities of this life and all it's disquietudes.
 Years ago. on boat on the North river, the pilot gave very sharp ring to the bell for the boat to slow up. The engineer attended to the machinery, and then he came up with some alarm on deck to see what was the matter. He saw it was 8 moonlight night and there were no obstacles in the way. He went to the pilot and said: "Why did you ring the bell in that way? Why do you want to stop? There's nothing the matter" And the pilot said to him, "There is mist gathering on the river; don't you see that? and there is night gathering darker and darker, and can't see the way"
 Then the engineer, looking around and seeing itNwas bright moonlight, looked into the face of the pilot and saw that he was dying, and then that he was dead. God grant that when our last moment comes we may be found at our post doing our whole duty. And when the mists of the river of death gather on our eyelids may the good Pilot take the wheel from our hands and guide us into the calm harbor of eternal restl

Oh, start on the road to heaven today.
 You are not happy. Phe thirst of your
 soul will never be slaked by the fountains
 of sin. You turn everywhere but to God
 for help. Right where you are, call on
 him. He knows you; he knows all about you. He knows all the odds against
 which you have been contending in life. Do not go to him with 8 long rigmarole
 of a prayer, but just look up and say,

 Yet you say, 'My hand trembles so from my dissipations, can't even take hold of hymn book to sing" Do not
 worry about that, my brother; will
 give out hymn at the close so familiar you can sing it without book. But you say, II have such terrible habits on me, I can't get rid of them." My an-
 swer is, Almighty grace can break up
 that habit and will break it up. But you say, "The wrong I did was to one dead and in heaven now, and can't correct that wrong." You can correct it. By the grace of God, go into the presence of that one, and the apologies you ought to have made on earth make in heaven.
 "Oh," says some man, Eff should try to do right, if should turn away from my evildoing unto the lord, I would be jostled, would be driven back, nobody would have any sympathy for me-" You
 are mistaken. Here, in the presence of the church on earth and in heaven, I give you today the right hand of Christian fel- lowship. God sent me here today to preach this, and he sent you here to hear this: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thought, and let him return unto the Lord, who will have mercy, and unto our God, who will abundantly pardon"

The ears most alert in heaven will be those that in this world heard neither voice of friend nor thrum of harp nor carol of bird nor doxology of congregations.
 A lad who had been blind from in- fancy was cured. The oculist operated upon the lad and then put very heavy bandage over the eyes, and after few weeks had gone by the bandage was re- moved and the mother said to her child, Willie, can you seeY' He said, '.Oh, mamma, is this heaven?" The contrast between the darkness before and the brightness afterward was overwhelm- ing. And tell you the glories of heaven will be thousandfold brighter for those who never saw anything on earth. While many with good vision closed their eyes in eternal night, and many who had good, artistic and cultured ear went down into eternal discord, these afflicted ones cried unto the Lord in tAsir trouble, and he made their sor- TOYS their advantage, and so .'the lame took the prey"

 The trouble is that in the army of Christ we all want to be captains and colonels and brigaGier generals. Weare not willing to march with the rank and file and do duty with the private soldier. We want to belong to the reserve corps and read about the battle while warming ourselves at the campfres or on fur tough at home, our feet upon an otto- man, we sagging back into an armchair.
 As you go down the street you see an excavation, and four or five men are working and perhaps 20 or 30 leaning on the rail looking over at them. That is the way it. is in the church of God to- day. Where you find one Christian hard at work, there are 50 men watching. the job.
 Ohl my friends, why do you not go to work and preach the gospel? You say, Il have no pulpit" You have. It may be the carpenters bench, it may be the mason's wall. The robe in which you are to proclaim this gospel may be a shoemaker's apron. But woe unto you if you preach not this gospel somewhere, somehowl If this world is ever brought to Christ it will be through the unani- nous and long continued efforts of men who, waiting for no special endowment, consecrate to God what they have. Among the most useless people in the world are men with 10 talents, while many one with only two talents, or no talent at all, is doing great work, and so "the lame take the prey"
 There are thousands of ministers of whom you have never heard--in log cabins at the west, in mission chapels at the east-who are warning against the legions of darkness, successfully war ring.

Chief Wolf in Speaker Crisp and
Bourke Cockran's Chairs.
From the Philadelphia Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-There was an
amusing scene on the floor Of the House to-
day before congress assembled. Frank
German, chief OF the pages, appeared on
the floor with big Indian in tow. The
redskin was in full war paint, with feathers
and many coiored blankets, and carried in
his hand red feathered buster. After
looking around the House, the Indian was
conducted to the speaker desk and placed
in the chair, amid trem endous applause from
the members on the floor.
The pages were simply delighted and
gathered around aud gazed with open
mouths at the chief. When the speaker
gavel was handed to the Indian, he thought
it was pipe Of peace and tried TO smoke it.
but finally, when shown his mistake. he
raped with it so hard that Jerry Simpson
remarked: "Why, that's the first savage
who has been in the chair since Tom Reeds
time"
After sitting some time In the speakers
chair, Chief Wolf, for that Is his name. was
taken down on the floor to Bourke Cochran rs
seat. When he sat down there was a great
round OF applause as some one remarked:
There is Tammany brave in Cockran's
seat"
The Indian did not seem to mind the
crowd gazing at him, but calmly sat and
famed himself with his feather buster.
The pages got in line aud filed past him.
and he shook hands after the regular dude
fashion, holding his hand and elbow high.
After the boys got through. "Old Man
Holman" went over aud shook hands with
Chief Wolf, and then Jerry Simpson again
came forward and remarked: "Why. Mr.
Holman. you don't speak Indian, but
Indians" and both laughed at the Joke. but
the Indian looked bored.
When the time came to clear the floor
they bad hard time in getting the Indian
out Of Bourke Cockran's seat. Finally he
was induced to go into the gallery and let
the Tammany leader occupy his chair. As
Wolf left the floor he remarked: "Hean
big times here, me lika it."
