The Roll-Call in Heaven

This incident Is related by an army
chaplain: Tine hospital tents had b EN-
flied no as fast as the wounded men
mad been brought to the rear. Among
the number was a young man MORALLY
wounded and not able to speak. 1t
was near midnight, and many a loved
one from our homes lay leeping on the
battlefield that sleep that knows no
waxing until Jesus shall Icall for them
Tine surgeons had been their round
of duty, and for q moment all was
quiet Suddenly this young man, be
fore speecnless, called, in a clear, dis
LIncG voice, Here! Toe surgeon has
tened TO his side and asked what he
wished NoChing,' he answered !;
they are calling the roll in heaven
and l was answering to my name He
turned hIs head and was gone to I'D
the army whose uniform is washed
white in the blood Of the Lamb In
the great roll call of eternity will your
name be heardR Can you answer,
'HercR' Are you one of the soldiers
OF salvation 9"-Christian Common

DOSSER BROTHERS.
A Crime If Children Don't See II.

Everybody will be glad to know that
they will have an opportunity to see
that most famous OF all exhibitions,
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Congress
of Rough Riders of the World at Bristol,
Tennessee, on October IL, 1897. This
greatest Of all aggregations of horsemen
collected from five continents, Is tour
Ing in only the large cities this year. 1t
is possibly the only opportunity that
people living here will have of seeing it,
for Europe, always greedy for the best
of everything, is clamoring for the re-
turn of this, marvellous entertainment,
which was recognized as the one and
only thing of its kind in existence. The
sensationally successful season of this
exhibition in New York for the month
preceding its tour is a matter OF record.
The vast amphitheatre of the Madison
Square Garden, in which the exhibitions
were given, was entirely too small to
accommodate the vast multitude that
%thronged there, and thousands were
actually turned away from each exhi-
bition for lack of room The New York
papers indicated the intense interest in
the exhibition by giving it over 200 col
umns of mention and illustration gratu-
itously. The exhibition when given on
the road is identically the same as when
given in New York, and it will be well
worth anyone's while to take advantage
of the low rates to this show which are
offered by all lines of travel. That most
famous of American journalists, Murat
Halstead, said in an editorial in the
Brooklyn Standard Union, Of April IA:
ut is somebody's crime II all the chill
dren don't see it." There is n fund Of
instruction to be derived from this enter
tainment which could not be had by
months or years of travel, and a small
fortune of expense. So that a visit to
this exhibition will well repay anyone,
especially when the trifling cost Is Offset
by so much instruction and entertain
ment.
