1t will not do for brethren of the pull
pit to be so afraid of sensation that
they permit their hearers to doze off ill.,
to comfortable sleep. The preacher is
wisest who knows how to keep from GO
ing too far, but at the same time who
knows how to get out of the ruts A
late writer in The Homiletic Review in
sists that taking topics from the news of
the day was not an apostolic practice.
And yet Paul knew how to make the
gladiator, the wrestler, the boxer and
the runner i'll athletic games texts for
his spiritual exhortation. 1t is, how
ever, in the training of the twelve by
tho great Master that we find how each
event of current history was made to
convey heavenly Lesson. Husbandman
and fisherman, children playing in the
market place and housewives hunting
for the lost piece Of the wedding dowry,
all were mirrored in his never to be for
gotten sermons. When the tower of ST.
loan fell, he noted it in his discourse.
When Herod went to Rome ''to receive
kingdom" he preached upon that
event and its results The sermonizing
that illustrates all its lessons by refer
ence to Greece and Rome, not to say
Egypt and Assyria, will not be very
sensational, neither will it be produc-
tive of great good. Men are more inter

there was a crash7of the undorbrush, and
out Of it came an immense panther,
running so fast that he seemed to be
level with the ground, He was SO eager
to catch tho game ahead of him that he
had no eye for the train.
Passengers in the five coaches did not
know Of the oyciting race going on ahead
of the cowcatcher, but they did notice
that there was series of quick and sue
cessive jerks. and that the train was
spinning along through the swamp at
whizzing psce, 1t was at this time that
Engineer T.. Tor resolved to take hand
in the race himself Hepulled the throt-
tie wide open,
The deer was 100 yards ahead, and
the panther was 30 yards behind the
deer The deer was barely holding his
own. Something seemed to be the mat
ter with him. for he didn't run as he
should. The deer kept the track for half
mile. Before he left the track, how
ever, the engine crawled close upon the
panther. He heard the rumbling of the
wheels and the trembling of the track,
and he quickly got out Of the way, hid
ing himself in the underbrnsh by Sc
ries of successive and graceful leaps.
The deer did not quit the track until
quarter of mile further on. He took
to the open pine woods ON the opposite
side to that which the panther had leap
ed, and the last seen of him he was still
running like chain lightning.
Conductor Rogero went ahead to see
what was up when the train was run
ming SO fast, but only got there in time
to see the deer scudding through the
woods He told a few of the passengers,
but none of them was fortunate enough
to catch a glimpse of the buck.
Mr.. RoSero says that deer have fire.

G. 9. Taylor, engineer of the Pablo
railroad has pulled a throttle for SO
years, and during that time has had
many novel experiences, but Sunday he
had one that has no parallel in his life's
history.
1t was during the run from Pablo to
Jacksonville. About eight miles this
side of Pablo is Cedar swamp, tangled
morass in which bear, wildcats, deer,
and even panthers have often been kill
ed. When about half way through the
swamp, an immense buck, Wild eyed
