l remark, again, if you want to be
successful i'll spiritual archery you need
not only to bring down the game, but
bring it in. | think one of the most
beautiful pictures Of Thorwaldsen is his
Autumn. 1t represents a sportsman
coming home and standing under
grapevine. He has a staff over his
shoulder, and on the other end of that
staff are hung rabbit and brace of
birds. Every hunter brings home the
game. No one would think Of bringing
down a reindeer or whipping up a
stream for trout and letting them lie in
the woods At eventide the camp is
adorned with the treasures of the forest
-beak and fin and antler. If you go out
to hunt for immortal souls, not only
bring them down under the arrow Of
the gospel, but bring them into the
church of God, the encampment we
have pitched this side Of the skies.
Fetch them in. Do not let them lie out
in the open field. They need our prayers
and sympathies and help. That is the
meaning of the church of God-help
o We hunters for the Lord, not only
bring down the game, but bring it in!
If Mithridates liked hunting so well
that for seven years he never went in
doors, what enthusiasm ought we to
have who are hunting for immortal
souls! If Domitianus practiced archery
until he could stand boy down in the
Roman amphitheater, with hand out,
the fingers like that, and then the king
could shoot an arrow between the fingers
without wounding them, to what drill
and what practice ought not we subject
ourselves in order to become spiritual
archers and "mighty hunters before the
LordP' But let me say, you will never
work any better than you pray. The old
archers took the bow, put one end of it
down beside the foot elevated the other
end, and it was the rule that the bow
should be just the size of the archer; If
it were just his size, then he would go
into the battle with confidence. Let me
say that your power to project good in
the world will correspond exactly to
your own spiritual stature. In other
words, the first thing in preparation for
Christian work is personal conservation.

heard through the Corinthian theaters,
and through the courtroom, until the
knees OF Felix knocked together. 1t was
that arrow that stuck in Luther's heart
when he cried out: "Oh, my sinsl Oh,
my sinsp' If it strike a man in the
head, it kills his skepticism; if it strike
a man in the heel, it will turn his step;
if it strike him in the heart, he throws
up his hands, as did the Emperor Julian
of old when wounded in the battle, cry
ing, 80 Galilean, thou has conqueredl"
In the armory of the Earl of Penn
broke there are old corselets which show
that the arrow of the English used to
go through the breastplate, through the
body of the warrior and out through the
backplate. What symbol of that gos-
pei which is sharper than two edged
sword, piercing to the dividing asunder
of body and soul, and of the joints and
marrowl Would to God we had more
faith i'll this gospel The humblest man,
If he had enough faith in it, could
bring 100 souls to Jesus-perhaps 500
just in proportion as this age seems to
believe less and less in it, I believe
more and more in it. What are men
about that they will not accept their
own deliverance? There is nothing pro-
posed by men that can do anything like
this gospel The religion of Ralph Wal
do Emerson was the philosophy of lei
Cles; the religion of Theodore Parker
was sirocco of the desert covering up
the soul with dry sand; the religion of
Renan was the romance of believing
nothing; the religion of the Huxleys and
the Spencers merely a pedestal on which
human philosophy sits shivering in the
night of the soul, looking up to the
stars, Offering no help to the nations
that crouch and groan at the base. Tell
me where there is one man who has re-
jected that gospel for another who is
thoroughly satisfied and helped and con
tented in his skepticism, and will take
the Car tomorrow and ride 500 miles to
see him. The full power Of the gospel
has not yet been touched. AS a sports
man throws up his head and catches
the ball flying through the air, just so
easily will this gospel after awhile catch
this round world flying from its orbit
and bring it back to the heart of Christ
Give it full swing, and it will pardon
every sin, heal every wound, cure every
trouble, emancipate every slave and
ransom every nation.
Ye Christian men and women who go
out this afternoon to do Christian work,
as you go into the Sunday schools, the
lay preaching stations and the peniten-
tiarios and the asylums, l want you to
feel that you bear in your hand weapon
compared with which the lightning has
no speed and avalanches have no heft,
and the thunderbOlts of heaven have no

row clear back until the head strikes

CRANKLESS BICYCLE.

Pedals Which Allow q Straight Instead
of Rotary Stroke.
Various inventors have of late tried
to change the propelling mechanism of
a bicycle, so that the riders foot will
not describe a circle, but move to and
fro in nearly straight lines. T. c..
Gates, of Hoodville, Pa, for instance,
has hit upon the following plan: On
each side of the frame, a little forward
of the rear wheel, he puts a rocking or
swinging attachment. to which is fast
ened one end of a strap or chain. The
latter is carried back under and part
way around a sprocke t-wheel, which is
loosely mounted OH the same shaft as
the rear, or driving wheel; then it goes
forward ard upward. around another
sprocl<et-wheel pretty near the saddle,
and finally downward. almost straight.
1t is now fastened to a nearly hori-
zontal bar. 4 pct,al. whose rear end is
pivotcd to t.c f-:',.>. and to the front
erd of which the foot il applied. When
the etdl is depressed the chain is
pulled doy n tie front or upper

tle motion Of tac c.:ain is impaired. At
ne end CT tho stroke the rocker pulls
he chain bac!. again; and in the mean
:.me the o.aSl foot is operating the
redal and chain on the other side of the
machine.
The particular means employed to
fasten the chain Tor strap to the pedal
lar is sliding clasp, which ordinarily
would be very close to the foot; but on
occasions the clasp could be showed
part way back toward the pivot. A
greater leverage would thus be secured,
and more power. but with reduced
speed.

The BICYCLE FOOT.

Addition to the List of Ailments Peculiar
to Wheelmen.
Horror of horrors-here comes the
bicycle foot!
Think of it, madam, if you pensist in
bicycling it will eventually swell your
foot! 1t will swell the muscles, thicken
the bones, spread the joints, enlarge the
cartilaginous tissues, destroy the con-
tour of your ankle, broaden your heel,
and-this in strict confidence, madam
it will make you wear bigger shoe.
The impoe tant question before wheel
women to-day is: Shall bicycling be
abandoned and the diminutivenes of
the foot preserved, or shall the health
of the body be preserved, even at the
expense of the poor foot This, of course,
is a matter that each lady must solve
for herself 1t lies entirely between
her conscience and her foot.
Here is how the feetar marred. The
hinge joints between the tibia and fbu-
la and astragalIs is capable of very
little motion, consequently the effect of
continuous motion is felt mostly in the
calculations of the small tarsal bones
and the bones of the metatarsus. Grad
ually the ligaments and muscles unit
ing these bones become elongated and
enlarged, the bones spread slightly, and
the result is an abnormal development
of instep and ankle. Then again, con-
slant pressure upon the sole of the foot
hardens the f1exor longens hgitorum,
or long fiexor of the toes, and thus de-
stroys that pretty curve that is sup4
posed to be the index to aristocracy.
Even the calcis, or heel bone, feels the
effect of this violent exercise. The ten
don of Achilles is brought permanent
ly into action, and is greatly strength
cned and enlarged, thereby rounding
out q normally slim heel, much to its
owners displeasure.
Each of the small bones of the tar
stls has two or more ligamentous at
tachments, and there are from II to 20
muscles uniting the seven bones of the
tarsus with the four metatarsal bones
and the IA phalanges; consequently,
when each of these muscles is developed
ever 30 little beyond the ordinary size
IL cannot help but make the owners
feet considerably out Of proportion to

SPREAD OF DISEASE.
Winds and the Rain Have Very Little
Do With Tt

Winds and the Rain Have Very Little t.
Do With 1t.
Prof. Able says that however it NAV
clash with accepted theories. the fact
has been established that the winds
and the rain must not be regarded as
the means by which diseases are spread
between places that are any consider
able distance apart. Prof. Able points
out that there was an excellent oppor-
tunity to study the subject in 1s89-9o,
when the influenza spread over the
whole civilized world. Its progress was
so regular that for long time there
was general belief that the active
germs of influenza were carried as dust
in the oir by the winds, or perhaps by
the upper currents. This idea was dis
sipated by several memoirs that went
to show that the wind and weather
were entirely subordinate factors, and
that the spread of the disease followed
the line of travel, especially the princi-
pal steamboat and railroad routes, and
that, therefore, the germs were carried
by diseased individuals, or by articles
that had been used by or had come into
contact with them, and not by the
winds. 1t is quite possible that germs
may be carried on the air for few
feet or rods from one individual to an
other, but not for many miles. A great
number of epidemics, such as yellow
fever, smallpox and cholera, have been
traced back to the direct importation
of their contagion (whether animate
or inaminate) by human agencies. The
strongest confirmation of Prof. Abbe's
deduction is found in the fact that ex-
perimental data show that few disease
germs can maintain their vitality more
than few hours when freely exposed
to the air and sunshine, as they prob
ably would be if they were carried in
the atmosphere as minute particles of
dust

The first year ofyour administration
has been marked thus with trlumphs

acter as a man performing his public
duty always with high and beautiful
sense of the trust which duty implies.
