The Best Sermon.

DR. Truman ]. Backus, president OF
Packer institute, Brooklyn, recently
said In a public address that the best
sermon he had ever heard was preach
cd TO him by an old colored man, the
former body servant Of Governor Bull
Of South Carolina.
DIR. Backus was a visitor to Charles
ton. and during a drive about the city
with the Confederate soldier who nred
the first shot at Fort Sumter he met
this aged negro. The Confederate
asked him how he was getting on.
"Massa." said the old man. I'm JUST
making the best out Of the worst"
A famous English bishop once salo
that the best sermon on Christianity
he had ever heard was contained In 8
short sentence. Some one asked an OLD
lady what she understood by 1.-The love
Of God"
1.-THE love Of God" she said, us the
art of loving those whom we DOM

holy living and dying, said epigram

to furnish the departing soldier win

HORSESHOE LUCK.
A Superstition Common to Neari'
All Races and Nations.

A superstftion Common to Nearly
All Races and Nations.
Tho origin of belief In horseshoe
luck" is so ancient that 1t never mas
heen determined with certainty, ana
no superstition is more universal. Ever
since horses began to wear SHOES tnose
crescents of iron have been accounted
lucky emblems of all peoples, races
and nations that have been acquainted
with their use.
The Chinese, for instance, say they
nail them I'D over their doors as
charm against evil spirits because OF
! the lose resemblance In shape between
them and the arched body OF the sa-
cred snake, Nagendra. one OF their
principal deities.
Ask Turkish Mohammedan for In
formation on the subject and he VIII
tell YOU that It is because they are In
form like a crescent, the sacred en-
blem Of Islam.
A Polish Jew will explain that at the
nassoyer the blood sprinkled upon the
intel and doorposts, In the manner
directed by their ritual, forms the chiei
points Of an arch; hence, obviously
the value Of arch shaped talismans
such as horseshoes are.
The stolid and unimaginative hus'
sian peasant, on the other hand, main
tains that the luck associated with the
horseshoe is due chiefly to the metai
irrespective Of its shape, iron being
additionally charm wherewith &c
nullify the malevolent designs OF EVIL
spirits and COLLINS.
Very different is the story by whlcf
the Irishman seeks to account for hli
liking for the same talismanic symbol
The name "Ironland" or ireland" NJ
will tell you, originated as follows:
The whole island was once submerg
ed in the sea, out of which 1t only ros'
once In seven years, and then only 70
q very short time. Many attempts ha'
been made to break the spell and In
duce the country 10 remain perma
nently above the waters. but all wer'
vain until one day a daring adven
turer threw a horseshoe from Doa
ON to the topmost peak Of the wicklow
mountains Just as they were disap
pearing beneath the waves. Then d
last was the ban removed. The EmeI
aid Isle began forthwith to rise agar
from the ocean depths into which
had sunk. And it has been dry land
more or less-ever since.
In England, up to comparatively n
cent times. horseshoes were extensive
ly used almost everywhere as ant
witch charms, and the custom Is nc
even vet an extinct one. No witch,
used TO be said, could enter a buildin

. or, better still, three horseshoes-ha
been affixed, prongs downward
