ANSWERING Imt QUESTION

The Rev. John McNeill was holding a revival service at Cardiff, Wales the other day, and announced that he would answer any question about the Bible. At once a note was sent up to him, reading as follows:
 Dear Mir. McNeill, if you are seek ing to help young men, kindly tell me who was Gains wife"
 That seemed poser, and the audi ence waited with intense interest, tenn pered with amusement, to sec how~the good man would eXtricate himself. After pause, he said:
 "I love young men especially young inquircrs for light, and would give this young man word of advice. It is this: Don't lose your souls saliva ton looking after other mems wives. '"

Harmony and Symmetry.

Beautiful in its symmetry. When it
presents Gods character, it does not pre-
sent him as having love like a great pro
tuberance on one side Of his nature, but
makes that love in harmony with his JUS
tice-a love that will accept all those who
come to him, and justice that will by no
means clear the guilty. Beautiful religion
in the sentiment it implants! Beautiful
religion in the hope it kindles! Beautiful
religion in the fact that it proposes to
garland and enthrone and emparadise an
immortal spirit. Solomon says it is a
lily. Paul says it is a crown. The Apoc-
alypse says it is a fountain kissed by the
SUM- Ezekiel says it is a fOliaged cedar.
! Christ says it is a bridegroom come to
! fetch home a bride. While Job in the
text takes up a whole vase of precious
stones-the topaz and the sapphire and
the chrysoprasus-he holds out of this
1 beautiful vase just one crystal and holds
l it up until it CLEANS in the warm light of
I the eastern sky, and he exclaims, 1.-The
crystal cannot equal il"
Oh, it is not a stale religion; it is not q
stupid religion; it is not u tOOthless bag,
as some seem to have represented it; il
is not a Meg Merrilies with shriveled arm
come to scare the world; it is the fairesi
daughter of God, heiress of all his
l wealth; her cheek the morning sky, hel

WASHINGTON. Oct. G.-The charm Of
an exalted religion is by Or. Talmage in
this discourse illustrated and commended;
text, Job xviii, II, The crystal cannot
equal it"
Many of the precious stones Of the BIZ
Bile have come to prompt recognition. But
for the present l take up the less valu-
able crystal. Job. in my text, compares
saving wisdom with a specimen Of topaz
An intidel chemist or mineralogist would
pronounce the latter worth more than the
former, but Job makes an intelligent COM
parison, looks at religion and then looks
at the crystal and pronounces the former
as Of far superior value to the latter, ex-
claiming, in the words Of my text, "The
crystal cannot equal it."
Now, it is not part OF my sermOnic
design to depreciate the crystal, whether
it be found in Cornish mine or Harz
mountain or Mammoth cave or tinkdng
among the pendants of the chandeliers
Of palace. The crystal is the star of
the mountain; it is the queen of the cave;
it is the eardrop of the hills; it finds its
heaven in the diamond Among all the
pages of natural history there is no page
more interesting to me than the page
crystallOgraphic. But I want to show
you that Job was right when, taking reli-
gion in one hand and the crystal in the
other, he declared that the former is of
far more value and beauty than the lat
ter, recommending it to all the people and
to oil the ages, declaring 1.-THE crystal
cannot equal it."
In the first place, l remark that reli-
gion is superior to the crystal in exact
ness. That shapeless mass of crystal
against which you accidentally dashed
your foot is laid out with more exactness
than any earthly city. There are six
styles of specialization and all of them
divinely ordained. Every crystal has
mathematical precision. Gods geometry
reaches through it, and it is a square, or
it is a rectangle, or it is a rhombod, or in
some way it has a mathematical figure.
Now, religion beats that in the simple
fact that spiritual accuracy Is more beau
tiful than material accuracy. Gods at
| tributes are exact, Gods law exact,
Gods DEGREES exact, Gods management
Of the world exact. Never counting
wrong though he counts the grass blades
and the stars and the sands and the cy-
cles. His providences never dealing with
US perpendicularly when those provi-
dences ought to be oblique, nor laterally
when they ought to be vertical. Every
| thing in our life arranged without any
! possibility Of mistake. Each life a six
| headed prism. Born at the right time;
dying at the right time. There are nc
happen SOS" in our theology. If ]
| thought this was a slipshod universe, ]
would be in despair. God is not an an.

its most wealthy member. He is more
solemn and reserved than his brother
Leopold, but the two are much attached
to each other and they have multifarious
interests in common, especially their love
of sport.
There is a legend that Lord Rothschild
once discovered that he had been giving
