nc EEnosltIon chimes.

The chime to be erected at the Cotton
States and International exposition con
sists of 13 bells, varying in a well graded
degree Of succession, from the largest d,
3, 400 pounds to the smallest + sharp, 200
pounds, the aggregate total weight to be
about IA, 900 pounds, exclusive Of the oak
frame and other hangings. The tones OF
the 10 bells respectively arc;
D, E, f sharp; G. G sharp; A, B, c, O
sharp; d, d sharp; E. F sharp.
This is a very wide range and affords
facilities for playing thousands of different
tunes, from the simplest lullaby to heavy
sacred tunes. Not all the bells are used in
every tune In some only six bells arc
used, while in others eight, and in a few
as many as ten are used, and only those
are used which make the necessary scale
Of notes or tones which are required for
the tune to be played. Under favorable
atmospheric conditions the chimes may be
heard distinctly and the tune recognized
four miles away. The ordinary range Is
about two miles, though at times it IS, Of
course, moro limited even than this, ow-
ing TO heavy fogs or high winds.

At his home in Greenville, Pa, in a
shop to which is attached a testing gallery
go feet in length, the Rev. John Peatey
d. D., is preparing to fashion the specu-
lum Of the great telescope for the Aneri-
can university, an institution of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. now taking to it
self a local habitatiOn on the heights near
the national capital.
This unique wielder of the grinding tool,
who has recently retired from active cler-
ical duties after an honorable and conspic-
uOus service of As years, IA of which were
spent in the responsible Office Of presid-
ing elder, Is almost 75 years Of age. He
has employed hours OF leisure, boarded
from an unusually busy and effective min
istry, to construct telescopes.
A dozen years ago the doctor conceived
the project of grinding the principal mir
FOR Of a rejecting telescope, and, to use
his own phrase, ''groped'' his way to sue
cess in field where the angels Of science
tread lightly, If at all, and in which a sin
gle incautious touch may result in hours
Of retrieving toll.
He has produced specula 8, 8, ~ and 90
inches in diameter, and a year or two since
finished disk "a 80 inches for prescnta-
ton to Allegheny college. If he shall suc-

New York states Great Cavern.


It has puzzled the writer not little to
understand why it is that SO little has been
said or written concerning Howe's cave.
It is situated in New York state, only
about 40 miles from Albany, and is the
third largest cavern in the United States,
Mammoth cave kentucky, and Luray
cave, Virginia, being the two which out
rank it in extent and magnihconce. The
cavern In question was discovered by one
Lester Howe in the year 1842 and was
formerly suown by the name Of Otsgargco
cave. Howe penetrated its winding pas
sage for q distance of over 10 miles, but
visitors do not usually go beyond Stygian
lake a small body OF water about four
miles from the entrance. Tine stalactites
and stalagmites are both abundant and
beautiful. It is well lighted with gas back
as far as the Stygian lake, and Is In the
writer's estimation, one Of the wonders Of
the continent.-St. Louis Republic.

do not care so much what posture you
take in prayer nor how largo an amount
of voice you use You might get down on
your face before God, if you did not pray
right inwardly there would be no response.
You might cry at the top of your voice,
and unless you had believing spirit with
in your cry would not 60 farther up than
the shout Of plowboy to his oxen. Prayer
must be believing, earnest, loving. You
are in your house some summer day, and
a shower comes up and a bird, affrighted,
darts into tho window and wheels about
the room. You seize it. You smooth its
ruflied plumago. You feel its luttering
heart. You say, Poor thing, poor thingP'
Now, PRAYER goes out Of the storm Of
this world into the window Of God s mercy,
and he catches it, and he feels its fiutter-
ing pulse, and he puts it in his own bosom
of affection and safety. Prayer is a warm,
ardent, pulseting exercise. It is an cleo
trio battery which, touched, thrills to the
throne of God 1t is the diving bell in
which We go down into the depths of Gods
mercy and bring up pearls Of great
price" There was an instance where
prayer made the waves OF the Gennesaret
solid as stone pavement. Oh, how many
wonderful things prayer has accomplished
Have you ever tried its In the days when
the Scotch Covenanters were prosecuted,
and the enemies were after them, one Of
the head men among the Covenanters
prayed: 20 Lord, we be,ls dead men un-
less thou shalt help usi o Lord, throw
the lap of thy cloak over these poor
thingsp' And Instantly a Scotch mist en-.
veloped and hid the prosecuted from their
promise literally fulfilled,
"While they are yet speaking Iwill hear. -
Have you ever tried the power of prayerf
God says, HE is loving and faithful and
patient" Do you believe thatY You are
told that Christ came to save sinners. Do
you believe that2 You arc told that all
you have to do to get the pardon Of the
gospel is to ask for It. Do you believe
that? Then como to him and sayi 20 Lord,
[ know thou canst not lie. Thou hast told
me to como for pardon and I could get it.
/ come, Lord. Keep thy promise and lib
Brate my captive soul.
Oh, that sou might have an altar IN the
parlor, in the kitchen, in the store, in the
barn, for Christ win be willing to como
again to the manger TO hear prayer. He
would come to your place Of business, as
ho confronted Matthew, the tax commits

Now, you K = very we'll that to seek u
thing is to sc.3ltl for it with earnest en-
deavor. If you want to sec q certain man
IN this city, and there is q matter of S10,
900 connected with your seeing him, and
you cannot at first find him, you do not
give up tho search. You look in the direct
DRY, but cannot find the name; you go in
circles where you think perhaps no may
mingle, and having found the part Of the
city where he lives, but perhaps not know
ing the street, you go through street after
street, and from block to block, and you
keep on searching for weeks and for
months

whether 1 see him or not " Oh, that men
wero as persistent in seeking for Christ
Had you One-half that persistence you
would long ago have found him who is the
joy Of the forgiven spirit. We may pay our
debts, we may attend church, we may re-
lieye the poor, we may be public benefao-
tors and yet all our life disobey the text,
never seek God, never gain heaven. Oh
that the Spirit of God would help me while
1 try to show you, in carrying out the idea
of my text, first how to seek the Lord
and in the next place when to seek him.
1 remark, in the first place, you arc to
seek the Lord through earnest and believ-
ing prayer. God is not an autocrat or a
despot seated on a throne with his arms
resting on brazen lions, and a sentinel
pacing up and down at the foot of the
throne. God is father seated in a bower,
waiting for his children to come and climb
on his knee and get his kiss and his bene-
diction. Prayer is the cup with which We
go to the fountain of living water and
dip up refreshment for our thirsty soul.
Grace does not come to the heart as we set
a eask at the corner of the house to catch
the rain in the shower. 1t is pulley fas-
tened to the throne Of God, which we pull,
bringing the blessing.

Isaiahs E'nil Length Portrait OF Christ.
How to Seek the Lord-Necesslty For
Seeking Him Now-The Sinner Who Was
Too Late.
NEW YORK, April 2s.-Rcv. DR.. Tai
mage today again preached to a great au-
dience in the Academy Of Music Asusual,
many were turned away for lack OF seats.
The sermon was on salvation, . tho text
selected being Isaiah Is 6, "aeek ye tho
Lord while he may be found. "
Isaiah stands head and shoulders above
the other Old Testament authors In vivid
dcscriptiveness Of Christ. Other prophets
give an outline Of our Saviour's features.
Some Of them present, as it were, the side
face Of Christ, others bust of Christ, but
Isaiah gives Us the full length portrait Of
Christ Other Scripture writers excel in
some things-Ezelliel more weird, David
more pathetic, Solomon moro cpigram-
matte Habakkuk more sublimc-but whom
you want to SEQ Christ coming out from
The gates of prophecy in all his grandeur
and glory you involuntarily turn TO Isaiah
so that If the prophecies in regard to
Christ might be called the "OTatOriO OF
the Messiah" the writing of Isaiah is the
"Hallcluiah Chorus, where all the batOns
wave and all the trumpets come in. Isaiah
was not a man picked up out of insignih-
canoe by inspiration. lie was known and
honorod. .Tosephus and Philo and Sirach
extolled him in their writings. What Paul
was among the apostles Isaiah was among
the prophets.
Help For All.
Ny text finds him standing on a noun
tain of inspiration, looking out into the
future, beholding Christ advancing and
anxious thatal men might know him His
voice rings down the ages, "Seel ye the
Lord while he may be found. ooh, says
some one, "that was for olden times.
No, my nearer. If you have travelled in
other lands you have taken a circular let
ter Of credit from some banking house in
New York, and in St. Petersburg or Venice
OF Rome or Melbourne or Calcutta you
presented that letter and gotfinancial help
And I want you to under
stand that the text, instead of being appro-
pirate for one ago or for one land, is Cir
cular letter for all ages and for all lands,
and wherever it is presented for help the
help comes. "Seel5 We the Lord while he
may be found.
come today with no hairspun theories
Of religion, with no nicc distinctions, with
no elaborate disquisitiOn, but with an ur-
gent call to personal religion. The gospel
Of Christ is powerful medicine; it either
kills or cures. There are those who say:
Il would like to become n Christian. I
have been waiting a good while for the
right kind of influences to come, and still
you are waiting. You are wiser in world
" things than you are in religious things.
If you want to get TO Albany, you go to
The Grand Central depot or to the steam .
boat wharf and having got your ticket .
you do not sit down on the wharf or sit in
he depot you get aboard the boat or train. (
And yet there are men who say they are /
waiting to get to heaven, waiting, wait !
ng, but not with intelligent waiting or
hey would get on board the line Of Chris
ian influences that would bear them into
he kingdom Of God.
