crowded little town, two or three miles
away from which, on the road to he

They are immense reservoirs, con-

An "AGreenbIe Surprise"

King Leopold had curious adven-
ture with a local band in one OF the
country districts outside Brussels the
other day. 1t is the custom with these
bands when fthe king accidentally
meets with them in his walks to greet
him With the "Brabanconne." The In
dependence Beige states that while
party Of rustic bandsmen was In an
inn the other day the king passed, and
all rushed out to greet him. The con-
ductor called la Brabanconne," but
AS none OF the men knew it each blew
for all he was worth at some air which
he did know. The discord was re-
mendous, but the king stood through lt
without moving muscle and when all
was over expressed urbane thanks for
the agreeable surprise" afforded him.

village carpenter, who frequently made
cases for Darwin's collection. One
day. work being scarce, the carpenter
asked for something to- o and was told
by Darwin that he coy d make a coffin,
which he did. The body Of Darwin is
said to have lain In it for two days be-

then provided, and the first passed into

ING the truth. | do not believe there Is
q man or woman or child who now ap-
proaches New Years day who does not
make some new resolution. But the
trouble Is after you have made your
New Years resolutions you go out III
your own strength and try to battle
with your old temptations, and then
You are flung again and again. But
nv brother. this year Is going to be
different year from all others. You
know your weaknesses and failures.
You know you cannot win a spiritual
success in your own strength. There
fore you are ready to conscientiously
ask God to help you in the struggle OF
life He will do it. Yes. he will give
YOU the divine strength which will new
er. never fail Cling to him, my brother.
Cling to him as Jacob wrestled with the
angel in prayer, and he will bless you
and never let you fall.
But | bethlnk myself that there Is
something for which to congratulate
the praying band Of Christian workers
who surround me and also for the re-
pentant man and repcntant woman.
You came into this church today in-
different to the Lord Jesus Christ
You have now surrendered your heart
to him. You came into this room prac-
ticaily an enemy Of the cross. You
are now buckling on the armor to JOIN
our gospel ranks and to become one OF
our Christian comrades. We have read
how the French king sent forth Mar
shall Ney with the royal troops to cap
ture Napoleon after his escape from
the island Of Elba. When the soldiers
came in sight Of the unarmed and de-
throned ruler, Napoleon, instead OF
running. turned and threw back the
lapei Of his coat as he cried, Men,
viii you shoot your emperor" With
that Marshal Ney threw down his
sword at Napoleon's feet, and all the
soldiers began to weep and cry, Long
live the EMPEROR And the soldiers
who went forth to capture a pretender
TO the throne returned to Paris to drive
Louis Philippe out Of the Tuileries.
That was dramatic. But today more
dramatic scene is taking place within
the walls of this church. You came
here an enemy Of Jesus Christ. You
today are going to join with us and
fight for the Divine Master. On, shall
we not cheer? Shall we not praise
God for your advent to our company
Shall we not look upon your reinforce
ment as a Iresage for US OF a happy
new year?
Brother and sister in Christ, the WORE
before the church Is stupendous. Tnls
gospel battle is to be no child's play
We have welcomed you into our ranks
in the name Of Jesus. Now close VI
the ranks. Now kneel, and make one
earnest. intense prayer before we star
on our new gospel campaign. Now
are you ready? Forward in the name
of our Captain! Forward against the
citadel Of sin! Forward for the re
demption OF our loved ones! Forward
to capture Chicago fer Christ! For
ward. march Forward. march.

DR.. Newman Halls Long Career.

The late Dr. Newman Halls first at
tempt at outdoor preaching was to
company of hop pickers in bis native
town of Maidstone. His address was
short and to the point, and so great
was his inherent nervousness and dill
fidence that he went unattended by
any friend. One of his first regular
sermons as a student was preached on
June %, 1888, in the town hall OF the
same place, the occasion being the
memorable one of Queen Victoria's cor
onation. The text taken for the SER
mon was "The King Of kings and LORD
Of lords" Newman Hall was one OF
the very few ministers who preached
at both the coronation and diamond
Jubilee services Of the late queen, and
on the latter occasioD-June 20, 1887
he again preached from the same text
with full heart and a host OF remem-
brances.-London Chronicle.
