Los AnegeIes, Cal, July 16.-ln these midsummer days of frequent electrical display the preacher finds lesson In the lightning's fash which he likens to the suddenness of Christ's promised re- appearance on earth. The text is Mat thew xxiy, q, AS the lightning cometh out of the east"
 The misfortune of being terrorized by the lightnings has never come to me. Some of the bravest and noblest men and women tremble like an aspen lear shaken in the rough grasp of the Wino whenever the lightnings flash and the thunders growl. because years ago they lived through some awful horror of an electric storm. They can never come out from under the shadow of that dan ger. Like Paul on the road to Damascus, blinded and dazed they were flung into the dirt by an electric thunderbolt' or by it if they had their homes shattered and burned, or they had dear loved one killed by their side. To be fright ened by a storm under such cireum- stances is not necessarily to be cow ardly.
 If you or I had been hurt by lightning or had seen some friend hurt we would be just as fearful of the lightning as was Mary Washington. No one would dare dream of calling the mother Of Washington & coward. Almost Spartan like, she gave up her son to the cause of American liberty. When the little old widow bade her tall, noble boy good by, 1t was not with an agonizing cry or Stay, George-stay at home with mel Her command was, "Go, my son. Go forth and answer duty's call. It is bet ter to die gloriously than to live 8 cow ards life Thy country calls thee. Go, my son, go!
 Mary Washington was among the pray est of women. She would have been Will ing, if necessary to march up 10 lhe cannon's mouth as did her son at Prince ton and Brandywine. With unblapeheo cheek she would have faced the rines or her country's enemies as did her son when with the colonial troops at his back ne saved Braddoek's army near ola4 fori Duuuesne of Pittsburg. But Mary Wash- ington's cheeks would turn ashen white when she heard thunderstorm signai in the distance. Why? In her early nie' with a young girl friend, sne was slttins at her fathers dinner tapie Suddenis there came flash and a quick detonation of thunder She turned and looked at her friend. In horror she called to her 10 speak, but that friend never spoke to Mary Ball again. She was dead! she was killed by n flash of lightning.

In Palace and Hut.

Away up in the artics among the polar bears and the spouting whales and the obelisks of ice the Eskimo in the un- tanned skins shall see him. Down among the beautiful flowers of the tropics, amid the scented air within sound of the prima donnars of the woods the black man of the African forests shall see him. In the temperate zone the king shall see him at his place door and the poor man in his hut. Then "the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth, even as the wat CTS cover the seas' Yes, yes; the sec ond coming of Jesus Christ shall not be hemmed in by any one race or by any one people or by any one cline. Christ like the electric forces in the air, shall be seen everywhere at once. Christ shall come as universal master fnr God has given him name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow to things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. to the glory of God the Father"
 Christ will come to earth. No doubt is there about the second advent But why is Christ to come to earth? Let us ask the lightning and Christ their missions I look up and cry, O. light ming, what Is thy mission?" I hear if nav My mission is to empty wonder clouds of their moisture. See me strike. See the rain beating down into the valleys be- low. See how I am purifying and ciarify-
