Detroit: People in this state are specially subject to rheumatism. The young and the old alike art* attacked by it aud until the introduction of Dodd s Kidney Pills a few months ago, nti reliable cure for the disease was obtainable. But theae pills have erad­icated the disease in every case where they were used, and nobody need suffer from it while this remedy can be had from every druggist on the continent. The reason they cure is that rheumatism is due to diseased kidneys or impaired action of .these organs. By making these organs whole, the rouse is removed and the rheumatism speedily disappears.

Dodd's Kidney Pills are put un in round flat boxes with blue labels and red baud. The public is cautioned against imitation* and substitutes. If your druggist hss not the genuine they will be forwarded on rreeipt of price. Mi cents a box. or six boxes for 82.50. by szidressing the proprietors. Dodd's Medicine Co., Ltd.. Buffalo,N. Y.

said. laughing. “You hate the poor gentleman, simply iiecause he is a stranger and a liermsn.”

••Yea, mademoiselle: ITiato him and all his race. Why does he linger here? Ills wound is healed, he is strong and well, yet he stays on.”

‘•Only now you reminded me that he was a prisoner.”

••He finds his prison pleasant, mademoiselle,” returned the keeper, significantly. “I do not think he would cart' to leave it, even if his countrymen eamo to take him away.”

Something in the tone more than in the words, made Blanche flush an­grily. She was about to reply when she saw the subject of their conversa­tion approaching from the house. He saluted her respectfully, and then glanced curiously at Houzel.

•Our friend is still on guard.” be said. “Must I ask his permission to wander a few steps further from my cag«:j”

The eyes of the two men met for a moment; then, while Houzel turned his head away and looked sullenly at vacancy. the German again addressed Blanche.

“You arc' my keeper, fraulein." he said, smiling. “May 1 ask you how far my liberty extends?”

“You have given your word of hon­or. monsieur.” she answered, “and surely that is enough. 1 have told Houzel that you will not try to es­cape.”

••On my honor, no.” said the Ger­man. lightly. “I am well contented to remain in so fair a prison.”

He walked slowly toward the ave­nue. Houzel seized his gun and made a movement as if to follow him and turn him hack, but at a look from his mistress ho refrained. Then after a moment's hesitation, Blanche followed the German, who term'd quickly on hearing her footstep behind him.

“Do not go far. monsieur.” she •aid. “The woods are dangerous, and perhaps—”

“Perhaps I have reason to dread a stray shot from some overzealous Frenchman? Well, I will take care. But it is very good of you to take such interest in one who is. by the fate of war. your enemy; and I thank you with all my heart.”

He paused, looking into her face with ill-concealed ad mi rut ion. Never had the lady of Grandpro looked brighter and prettier. A soft rosy flush lay upon her cheek, and her eyes were full of gentle light.

“May 1 ask. monsieur—”“Ask anything, fraulein.” he broke

in. gallant«y, as she hesitated, “and be sure that I will answer you.”

“It is your name that 1 would ask. monsieur”

“llainrich von Hartmann. I am a captain in the Uhlan cavalry. 1 see you have heard of us Uhlans—we hare a I tad name here in France: and some of us, 1 grant you are ugly fellows. For example, he who shot your poor hound.”

They walked slowly on, side by side. Glancing back over his shoul­der, Hartman saw the keeper slowly following, gun in hand.

“Tho watch-dog follows," he said, laughing.

“1 have been writing a letter this morning,” he said, after some mo­ments. “It is |tossible that I am re­turned among our list of dead, and if so, there will be wet eyes in a little (terman town where I was horn. Do you think, fraulein, that my letter could be sent across the lines?”

“I cannot tell,” answered Blanche; “I will spwtk to l>r 11 net.”

“It is not for myself I oare. fraulein.” he continued. smiling

.gently upon her; “and. indeed, 1 have been very fortunate. But my mother and sister, poor souls, should not suffer unnecessarily. I should like to set their hearts at rest.”

“Perhaps, said Blanche, timidly, “the war will soon be over, and then ”

“The war is only heginning.fraulela. Our armies will not halt until Paris is taken. They are close upon the city even now. You see It was a foregone conclusion from the first. Your em­peror was blind, or he might have known.”

“It is dreadful!” cried the girl. “Why should your people and mine hate each other so much?”

“They are like children.” returned Hartmann, and do as they are taught. If men woukl only think for them­selves there would be no more war. Had rulers and haul teachers poison the air we breathe. And after all. what ia war9 A game in which no one gains, but all suffer alike—the poor above all. It la a horrible buaiaess at the beat.”

“Gome back. You are wanted at the chateau.”

Hartmann turned, looking back. In front of (irandpre stood a file of soldiers and an officer. While he hesitated Houzel cried, savagely.

••Come bark! Are you listening9 At onoo!”

Hurriedly descending, he made his way to the terrace; but It was empty. He inquired for Blanche and found that she had left the chateau, and had

' taken the path whieh led to the top of the cliffs. Quiokiy following the path he glanced on every hand for Blanche; but she was nowhere to he seen. After searching around tho woods in every direction, he was about

“Forward with your prisoner!”Behind the officer stood a lieutenant,

and close by, Huet the doctor. Hart­mann sainted in military fashion, and stood waiting to be questioned.

“Your name?”“Heinrich von Hartmann, captain

of the 19th Uhlans.”“You were wounded and taken

prisoner several da vs ago. while re- connoitering near this place?”

Hartmann bowed.“Hump! Have you anything more

to say for yourself?”“Nothing, save that I am now a

prisoner on parole.”The officer looked at him from head

to foot.••How aro w«> to know that you are

not one of the enemy’s spies? On your honor, have you held any com­munication since your capture?”

••None. I have only just risen from rav tied. and. as vou see. I am still an invalid.”

••Very well,” said the officer with a scowl; you will have to accompany us to Fecamp.”

“On foot, monsieur?”“On foot! The devil! you look

strong enough. Yes, on foot. . Do you want a carriage ami pair9”

Here Blanche interfered. and pleaded so well with the officer, who 1 knew and treated her with great re­spect, that he consented to let the German remain at <• rand pro for an­other twenty-four hours: after whieh. , if he ws* still too weak to march to Fecamp, he should lie taken thither in some kind of a conveyance.

versation with, ail elderly woman. They passed close by Hartmann; but although he oouid not be seen by them, he heaid every word of tholr conversation. The hag—no other, indeed, than she who was praying before the altar, when, only a few weeks, before, Blanche entered the chapel by her father's side—was talk­ing rapidly, hissing her words into Die young girl’s oar.

“You do well to pray for your father,” she said; “you, who even now are tending one of his enemies! What would ho say if he knew that while he was fighting down the ao- t'uraed Germans like wheat, his daugh­ter was gently tending one. that he might go forth again and join our foes?”

“You do not understand,” returned Blanche. “I have only done what my father would have wished mo to do.”

••If the chovalier had met him on the field of tattle. he would have out him down, as they have out down my sons. Yes, and if it had pleased the good God to place him in my hands. I would have stabbed him to the heart as you should have done, and as all good patriots would do! But, look vou. he is feted at the chateau, even though the chevalier perhaps lies slain by one of his accursed race!”

Uttering a cry. Blanche covered her cars with her hands, as if to shut out the sound of the old woman's voice; but the hag. nothing daunted, and perhaps oven pleased at the effect of her words, would have continued, but at that moment the Uhlan came for­ward.

Fixing his eyes fiercely upon tho old woman, he bade her depart, then ho turned courteously to Blanche:

“Fraulein.” he said, may I have the honor of conducting you back to the chateau? or. If you wish to linger abroad, may I linger with you? It is not safe for you to wander abroadalone: awl though Tam your country's

••And you. fraulein.” returned the j soldier, tenderly, “might have lost a | father!”

The girl turned an agonized face to I his.

“Has my father then fallen, mon­sieur?” she said, in a voice of such suppressed agony that it rent tho

I soldier's heart.“I trust not. fraulein; but he is at

the seat of war. ”••For several nights now, I have

dreamed that my father was with me —not hero at the chateau, but on some lonely plain -and each time that we have been together he has placed his hand on my head and murmured, ‘God bless you, ray jioor Blanche!’ And it seemed to me that he knew of some great trouble that was coming to me. and that he was sorry. What can it mean, monsieur? Surely those dreams do not foretell evil? If evil should come to my father it would kill me!”

••I have once more to thank you,” s*i 1 the German. “Beall}', you seem to be my good angel.”

“Pleats- do not speak of it. replied Blanche, drooning her eyes before the ardent look of gratitude which he bent upon her face. “You aro wel­come hero until you aro strong enough to go away ”

Before she knew what he was doing, he stooped and kissed her hand—so respectfully, and yet so ardently, that she blushed red as crimson. Then, as she turned her face away, she Itecamc conscious of the presence of Houzel the keeper.

His eye# were averted, but his face was flushed and burning, and the great black veins stood out upon his temples, while his hands sjiasmodical- lv gripped his gun.

CHAPTER IX.Hartmann Encouraged.

The fact that so long a time had passed since Blanche had received nows from her father was beginning to cause her very groat anxiety. True, ho had warned her that this might oc­cur: and ho had bogged of her to he troubled by no useless fears If at any time all communication between them should cease. Nevertheless, try as she would, she could not keep off the horrible fears which oppressed her, and which deepened day by day.

At the chatcuu there was nothing now to interest her; for oven her pa­tient had passed out of her hands. Blessed with a good constitution, he had rapidly regained strength; and according to the gossip of the ser­vants. it was more the bright eyes of Blanche de Gavrolle# than his maimed arm which kept him at the chateau, for they, quicker to perceive than their young mistress, had looked into the solkier’s eyes and read his secret admiration. For some time he, too was blind to the truth: he only knew that the days of his convalescence at the chateau of Granipro were the haypieat days of his life.

But at last, as he stood at his win­dow watching the slim figure of the young girl as site moved up and down the terrace, the truth came to him with startling vividn 'ss. It was a terrible discovery, anti in those first few moments brought him almost m much pain as pleasure. Nevertheless, the truth must be acknowledged; and in acknowledging it. he knew that Blanche de Uavrolle* was likely to become more to him than his coun­try or his life.

What was to be done? Should he repay good with evil- acknowledge her sweet charity and gentle good­ness by remaining, trying to make her lorn him. ami so bring upon her all the horror and miser} which mtch a lore must cause? whereas, If he left her now. he could do so. he believed, without causing her one single pang.

And yet. how could he go? He was a prisoner. True, he was not strictly guarded, but he had given his word. Must he tweak his parole, quietly effect his escape, and leave I eh i ad him a tainted name for Blanche to think of? No! he could not do that, lie owed her much, but he

Th* Orset Promoter'• MImsm Is Ussier* Fertility to Northern A fries.

The late Count de l^easeps was at one time engaged in a daring and at­tractive engineering scheme, with which the public is not generally fa­miliar. Its object was to create a new sea and thereby restore to fertility and civilization a large part of North­ern Africa.

Max de Forest, now of Nutley.N. J , a former officer in the French army, met his famous countryman at this time.

“I mot Count de Iseeps.” he said, •*fn 1881, at Gabes, in Southern Tunis, where I had Iieen ordered with a squadron of oavalry. Shortly after my arrival he caino with a surveying party to make soundings for the pro­posed Interior sea. I had orders to place at his disposal both men and horses, and the discharge of this duty brought me into almost daily com­munication with him until his depart ure.

•• ‘The interior sea at that time aroused ail his enthusiasm. He brought to bear the -am*' persuasive powers that he used when promoting the Huez and the Panama canals and enterprizos. To sceptics he always replUxl: 'll can lie done, and it willlie done, if the government w.li give mo the money to do it with.’

“Its propo ed area embraced the entire plain lying to the southward of tho boundary line drawn from Gab-s vis Gafsa to Taman*. Tho practica­bility of the scheme was sup|>ortod by many facts. It was proved that an inland sea had covered in ancient times the area which it was intended to food. The level of the land was generally below tiiat of tho gulf of Gabes. Innumerable underground streams of fresh and salt water aro found in the southern part of Al­geria ani Tunis.

“The water was to be supplied to tho Inland sea from the gulf of Gabos. The tides would have a minimum depth sufficient to ajjow of tho [iass- agu in all directions of light I .oats. But the most valuable result of the scheme, it was held, would be to re­store the ancient fertility of tho coun­try ami to oppose a barrier to the sirocco, the deadly burning wind which piles up the desert sand al>out the oases and finally buries them.

•*M. de l^esseps dwelt on these ben­efits with boundless enthusiasm and imagination Buried cities would be unearthed, and the colosseum of El Djhem. now a crumbling ruin, but once approaching that of Home in size, would be accessible to admiring tourists.

“M. de I bleeps left tho work in the hands of the general staff of tho French army, by whom it is now sup­posed to be carried on. Whether any progress is being made Ido not know.”

Ielh*r for i|i»ila(.It is commonly assumed that soap

is used in shaving for the purpose of softening the hairs. This, however, it seems, is a mi-take. It is used, on the contrary, to render them hard, dry. stiff and brittle, in which condi­tion they best yield to the blade. Hair being naturally oily, were one to shave dry, or with water only, the razor would either slip over tho limp hair without cutting it. or, entering about half way, tieml the hair lack and slioo it lengthwise, all tho while straining it most painfully at the roots, and, as the razor would thus slioe an 1 pull probably a large num­ber of hairs at once.tho pain produced would tie intense. Most shaving soap contains a free alkali, either potash or soda, which combines with, and so removes the oil from the hair, leaving only the hard fiber, dry and stiff, as may be seen by taking a solution of carbonate and dippiug a single hair into it.

Tlie combination represented by tlie com­plainant is not illegal in auv other sense except that the law will not lend its aid to the accomplishment of its purposes. The common law does not prohibit tlie making of such combinations.

It seems to rue that the court cannot sustain the pres­ent bill without giving aid to tlie un­lawful combi nation or trust represented by tbe cxmiplainaiit The question is not free from doubt but in case of doubt I feel tt my dntv to resolve it in such a way as will not lend the counte­nance of the court to the creation of combination*, trusts of monopolies.

Fowlku. March U4. MM.Mrs. Lucinda VanSickies died March

17, UM, of ipiick consumption. She was a member of a small hand of work­ers called the I*sdies' Cemetery Associ-

; ation, who by their heroic efforts Iiave in the |ia*t two years transformed Oak liidgv cemetery from a brier overgrown wilderness into one of the moat lieauti- fnl country cemeteries in the state. There, amid the scenes of her past la- bora, her narrow, white lined bed was made, and by loving liands. with a pro-

I fusion of (lowers and sunshine, site was laid to rest Tuesday, March 10th. The wreath of pure white flower* and the bunch of carnations in their purity and sweetness placed on her casket by each of the sisters of tlie association as they mournfully tiled (Mud to take a last sad farewell, were tilting emblem* of the beautiful life gone out. The funeral cortege as it slowly wended its way on foot from the house to the church, which had lieeu tastefully draped in black and white, was fully <me-lullf mile long. Headed by the Fowler cor­net hand and followed by the l*adies' Cemetery Association and A. O. U. \V„ who so manfully aided nnd sympathized

A TELEGRAM RECEIVED FROM THE DEAD.

ITow an tip* rat or \Ya< Kimble I to tint* wit tbr Aparha Kltl anti Hta Hand and Save HU Own Ilf*—A 1 lirllllng Ntorjr of tha Southwest.

In 188—I wan telegraph operator at a relay station on tho main line of the Southern Pacific railroad in New Mexico. My n arost neighbor wan Fred Alhauifh, at Tunis, another lonely. isolated switch and telegraph station, twelve mile* east. Fred and I had fre nent chats over the wires at night. when the wires were compara­tively free from business. My time for going on duty was at 7 p. m. My station was best known tut “Lone Switch." a title given it by the train­men because of its being in such an bolated locality. It was, indeed, a lonely spot, away out there on the dark ••mesa," and with only the occa­sional howl of a coyote or the harsh squeak of a sandhill crane to break the prevailing stillness.

One Saturday evening the fliOA east- bound train was soveral minutes over­due at Gage, says*the Philadelphia Times writer, and among others with me in the waiting room I noticed tho presence of several rancheros. They were evidently from the South, and the subject of their conversation was ••Apache Kid." who had been com­mitting depn-datinn* along the South­ern border. He had been giving both the Mexican and states officer* con­siderable trouble, and. emboldened bv his success in evading capture, he and a monitor of other red demon* com­prising his itand of Apaches had ex­tended the line of their operations to a ranch on the outskirts of the little ••greaser" village of I'pper Ciudad.

Of course, there was little or no apprehension of his attacking so large a settlement as (iagv. but some of the outlying ranches were practical­ly unprotected ami at his merev un­ices his murderous course was stopped by the cavalry force stationed at fort Pierson. I did not apprehend for a moment that tho “Kid” would venture so far north as “l.one Switch”—Indeed no such idea entered my mind.

When the train came into (Jago sta­tion. twenty minutes late, bound for “l-one Switch. ’ I got aboard and stopped on tho platform of the smok­ing car. talking to one of the brake- men. Soon tho conductor joined us, remarking at the same time*:

“Too ImmI about Albaugh. isn’t it?”I asked him what he meant. Re­

plying. he said:"11 hy, didn t you know the bov was

taken down with mesa' fover this morning ? No. 21 stopfied at Tunis, the ‘red wa> down, and after waiting a reasonable time for a clear signal the conductor walked to the station to see what was amiss. There he found Albaugh wnsciess. all curled up on the floor and raving like a maniac. He was placed on the train and taken to the hospital at Camhury, where the doctor pronotinnad it a case of •mesa’ fover, with a slim chunoo for recov­ery. A substitute for Albaugh could not be procured right away, ant) for the time buing Tunis station is closed up."

It was quite late when we reached ••Lob* Switch.” The up train was watting for us. Kach train soon (taseed from my sight, and I was left aione with my heart oppmseed over the con­dition of poor I red Albaugh.

Shortly after midnight I ate my lunch and then went to a window to take a smoke and enjoy the cool bree -e I lighted my pipe and gazing outside found tho moon and stars shining brightly. The surface of the “mesa was smooth and undisturbed, and not oven the cry of a night bird broke tho unnatural silence A mias­matic vaftor. light and ••thereat, hut deadlv in It* poison, was arising from the dark loro-grass. Tho tall ca-tus looked weird and spectral in the moon­light. The telegraph wires, touched hy a light current of air. hummed ami waiisd, emitting music like that of an JSolian harp (ta ing from my window I beheld the serried looking lauidscape. and turning to my instru. ms.it I heard the blurred tick, tick, tick, that to my distorted imagination sounded like a death knell. Suddenly the sounds became more rapid and perfectly clear, and I easily d •cipher**i the nail for my station - “I. p." This agitated me physi ally and mentally la a manner I cannot describe. J hurried to the table and answered the the summon* Then I waited for per­haps thirty or forty seconds. Tha tinker sounded again, and tho

I received nearly froze the blood in my veins und I was almost prostrated. It was:

“Flee for your life! Apaches have looted station and started West No­tify all train*. “A.—27.”

Thai message was from Altmugh’s station and signed witli Alhaugh's name and number. Recovering par­tially from tny fr.ght. I gave a quick look out of the window. TTie “mesa” wa* still unruffled, and no new objects were in sight. Would I have time to repeat the message to the various trains as my duty required and as my manhood dictated, or to save my own life must I at once desert the station und fly and hide myself?

These thoughts ftoseessed my mind but a moment, and I resolved to stand by my |>o*t and do my duty, oven if it cost me my existence. Quickly open­ing the circuit. I flashed the warning message over the wires. This done, without extinguishing my lamp, I fled from the station and over the mesa. I did not run in the open, but fol­lowed the course of a shallow gully that led to a rise in the land, ail the time keeping well under cover of numerous cactuses and bushes.

Not until 1 reached the top of this small elevation did I look back, and then a* I jlld so what I saw caused me to breathe a prayer of thankfulness that I had left the station when I did, for plainly In the bright moonlight I could see a number of dark forms closing in on my late abode. They evidently expected to surprise me. though their movements were bold and incautious. Presently I heard a demoniac yell, the Apaches no doubt thinking they were making their presence known to the solitary occu- |>ant of the station. This spurred me to a more rapid retreat, until I reached another hill, and from there l could see a bright bia.e that told me the fate of "lx>ne Switch.”

They did not attempt to follow my trail, and after hours of hard running and in an exhausted condition. I reached Gage.

I soon learned that Albaugh died a few minutes after 9 oclook on the same night I received the message that saved my life. How. therefore, was it [tossihie for me to rereive the said message from that lonely, unten­anted station of Tunis? Who can ex­plain it? Was it the spirit of Albaugh whose hands opened the circuit and sped the warning on the way to me, his earnest friend in life and sorrow- stricken mourner in death? 1 do not know nor do I care to attempt to pierce the veil of mvstery. but in spite of all scoffers I shall always believo it was a telegram from the doad.

and everywhere present: and ninety- on* times In the New Testament called the Holy Ghost. The only time I ever heard this text preached from was in the opening day* of my ministry, when a glorious old Hootch minister came up to help my village church, fin the day of my ordination and installation, he said: "If you get Into the comer of a Saturday night without enough sermons for Sunday, send for me. and I will come and preach for you.” The fact ought to be known that the first three yeara of a pastor * life are appallingly arduous. No other profession make* the twentieth part of the demand on a young man. If a secular speaker pre­pares one or two speeches for a polttclal campaign. It Is considered arduous. If a lecturer prepares one lecture for a year, he la thought to have Jone well k*’)t a young paator has two sermons to AtIKrtr every Sabbath, before the same audience, besides all hta other work; and the most of minister* never recover from the awful nervous strain of th# first three yeara. Be sympathetic with all young ministers, and withhold your criticism*.

A Farewell teraas.

My aged Scotch friend responded to my first call, and came and preached from the text I now announce. I re­member nothing but the text. It was the last sermon he ever preached. On the following Saturday, he was called to his heavenly reward. But 1 remem­ber Just how he appeared aa. leaning over the pulpit, he looked Into the face of the audience, and with earnestness, and pathos, and electric force, asked them. In the words of my text. "Have ye received the Holy Ghost T* The of­fice of this present discourse Is to open a door, to unveil a Personage, to Intro­duce a Force, not sufficiently recog­nised. He Is as great as God. He is God. The second verse of the first chapter of the Bible Introduces him. Genesis l: 2. "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” That Is. as an albatross or eagle spreads her wings over her young, and warm* them Into life, and teaches them to fly: *0 the Eternal Spirit spread his great, broad, radiant wings over this earth In it* cal­low and unfledged state, nnd warmed It Into life, and fluttered over It. and set It winging It* way through lmn#•- Ity. It is the tip-top of all beautuul. and sublime suggeatlvenesss. Can you not almost nee the outspread wing* over the nest of yourTg worlds’ "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

Another appearance of the Holy Ghost was at Jerusalem, during a great feast. Strangers *peaklng seventeen different language* were present from many parts of the world. Hut .n one house they heard what seemed like the r-omtng of a cyclone or h urrtoane. It made the trees bend, and the house* -tuake The cry was. "What Is that?” And then a forked flame of fire tipped each fore­head: and what with the blast of wind and the dropping fire, a panic t«»olc place, until Peter explained It wn* neither cyclone nor conflagration, hut the brilliance, and anointing, and bap­tismal power of the Holy Ghost. That scene was partially repeated In a forest when Rev. John Easton was preaching. •Hw«> was the sound of a rushing, mighty wind, and the people looked to the sky to see If there were any sign* of a storm, hut It was a clear sky; yet the sound of the wind was so great that horses, frightened, broke loose from their fastenings, and the whole assembly felt that the sound was super natural and Pentecostal. Oh. what an Infinite, and almighty and glorious Per­sonage Is the Holy Ghost He Iwoorfed this planet Into life, and now that through stn It has become a dead world, he will brood It the second time Into life. Perilous attempt would be a com­parison between the three Persons of the Godhead They are equal, but there Is some consideration which attaches Itself to the Third Person '* the Trinity, the Holy Ghost, that doe- -pt attach Itself to either God the Kathei or God the Son. We may grieve God the Father and grieve God the Son. and he forgiven, but we are directly told that there la a atn against the Holy Ghost which shall never he forgiven, either In this world or the world to come And It Is wonderful that while on the streets you hear the name of God and Jesus Christ used tn profanity, you never hear the words. Holy Ghost. This hour I speak of the Holy Ghost aa Rlbtcal Interpreter, a* a human reconstruct or. as a solace for the broken-hearted, as a preacher's reinforcement.

Maty a beat and the HIM,.The Bible la a mans of contradictions,

an affirmation of Impossibilities, unless the Holy Ghost helps us to understand R. The Bible aay* of Itself, that t»»e Scripture la not for "private Inter­pretation." but ••holy men of God apake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost;" that ta not private Interpretation but Holy Ghost Interpretation. Pile on your study table all the commentaries of the Bible—'Matthew Henry, and Scott, and Adam Clarke, and Albert Ramea. and Rush, and Alexander; and all the arch­aeologies. and all the Rtble dictionaries and all the maps of Palestine, and all the International He rice of Sunday School Lessons: and If that la all. you will not understand the deeper and grander meanings of the Bible ao well aa that Christian mountaineer, who. Bunday morning, after having shaken down the fodder for the cattle, comes into hta cabin, takes up hta well-worn Bible, and with a prayer that stirs the heavens, sake for the Holy Ghost to un­fold the Hook. No more unreasonable would I be If 1 should take up the Novoe Vromya of St Petersburg, all printed In Russian, and say. 'There is no sense In this newspaper, for I -annot understand one line of all !i« columns.” than for aay rang *e (air up the Bible.

and. without getting Holy Ghost Illum­ination as to its meaning, aay. "This llook Insults my common sense. I can­not understand It. Away with the In­congruity!” No one but the Holy Ghost, who inspired the Scriptures, can explain the Scriptures. Fully realise that, and you will be as enthusiastic a lover of the old Book as my venerable friend who told me In Philadelphia last week that he was reading the Bible through the flftv-nlnth time, and It be­came more attractive and thrilling every time he went through It. In the saddle-bags that hung across my harass back aa I rode from Jerusalem down to the Dead aea. and up to Damascus. 1 had all the books about Palestine that I could carry: hut many a man on hta knees tn the privacy of his own room, haa had flashed upon him more vivid appreciation of the Word of God than many a man who haa visited all th* scene* of Christ's birtb. and Paul's elo­quence. and Peter's imprisonment, and Joshua's prowess, and Elijah's ascen­sion. I do not depredate any of the helps for Bible study, but I do aay that they all together come Infinitely abort without a direct communication from the throne of God tn response to prayer- 1 ful solicitation. We may find many Interesting things about the Bible with­out especial Illumination, aa how many horses Solomon had tn hia stables, or , how long waa Noah’s ark. or who was the only woman whose full name la given in the Scriptures, or which is the middle verse of the Htble. and all that will do you no more good than to be able to tell how many bean poles there are In your neighbor’s garden. The learned Karl of Chatham heard the famous Mr. Ce­di preach about the Holy Ghost, and said to a friend on the way horn*- from church, "I could not understand It: and do you suppose anybody understood Itr* "Oh. ye#." said Mr Christian friend, "there were uneducated women and aome little children present who understood It." I warrant you that the English soldier had under supernal In­fluence read the Book, for after the battle of lakermann waa over he was

shoak the Atlantic ocean. That powet •hook the earth. That power could take this entire audience into tha peaceof th* Gospel quicker than you could lift your eyes heavenward. Cone. Holy Ghost* Coma. Holy Ghost! He la come! He la here! I feel him tn my heart. There are thousands who feel him in thetr hearts, convicting aome. saving some, sanctifying aome.

The difference tn evangelical useful­ness la not ao much a difference tn brain. In scholarship, or elocutionary gifts, ae In Holy Ghost power. You will not have much surprise at the exthaor- dlnary career of Charles G. Finney aa a soul art finer. If you know that soon after hte conversion he had this ex­perience of the Paraclete. He aaya:

"Aa I turned, and waa about to take a seat by the Are. I received a baptism of the Holy Ghost. Without any expecta­tion of It; without ever having th* thought In my mind that there waa any such a thing for me; without any recol­lection that I had ever heard th* thing mentioned by any person In the world, the Holy Ghost descended upon me In a manner that seemed to go through me. body and soul. Indeed. It seemed to come In wave* and wavea of liquid love, for I could not express It In any other way. It seemed like the very breath of God. I can recollect distinctly that It aeemed to fan me like Immense wtnga. No words can express the sronQerful love that was shed abroad tn my heart. I wept aloud with Joy and love. Theae wavea came over me. and over me. and over me. one after the other, until I re­call I cried out. *1 shall die If these waves continue to paas over me.’ I said, 'Lord. I can not hear any more.' "

Now. my hearers, let five hundred of us. whether clerical or lay worker*, get such a divine visitation aa that, and we could take this world for God before the clock of the next century strikes one.

Next consider the Holy Ghost aa a human reconstructor. We must be made over again. CThriat and Nlco- demus talked about It. Theologians call It Regeneration. I do not care what you call If, but we have to be recon­structed by the Holy Ghost. We be­come new creatures, hating what we once loved, and loving what we once hated. If aln were a luxury, It must be­come new creatures, hating what we associations, we must prefer good as­sociations In most case* It te auc’.i a complete chnnge that the world no­tice* the difference, and begin* to ask. "What has come over that man T' Whom has he been with’ What ha* so affected him’ What has ransacked hte entire nature? What has turned him square about?” Take two pictures of Paul: one on the road to Damascus to kill the disciples of Christ; the other on the road to Ostia to die for Christ. Com# nearer home, and look at the man who found hte chief delight In a ’ow class of club-rooms, hiccoughing around the card-table, and then stumbling down the front steps after midnight and stag­gering homeward; and that same man. one week afterward, with hte family on the way to n prayer-meeting. What lias done It? It must be something tre­mendous. It must be God. It must be the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost comfort. T think, gen­erally cornea In the shape of a soliloquy. You find yourself saying to yourself. "Well. I ought not to go on this way about my mother's death. She had suf­fered enough. She had home other peo-

thing into derision, somehow he could not get the trumpet to hte lip* and at the close of the meeting he sought out the preacher and asked for hte prayers. It was the Holy Ghost. What was the matter with Hedley Vicars, the memor­able soldier, when he sat with hte Bible l>efore him In a tent, and hte deriding comrades came In and Jeered, saying: 'Turned Methodist, eh?” And another said. "You hypocrite! Had aa you were I never thought you would come to thte. old fellow.” And then he became the soldier evangelist, and when a soldier In another regiment hundred* of mile* away telegraphed hte spiritual anxieties to Hedley Vicar*, saying. "What shall I dor- Vicars telegraphed as thrilling a message aa ever went over the wires. ‘‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." What power was being felt? It was the Holy Ghoat. And what more appropriate? for the Holy Ghoat 1a a "tongue of Are,” and the electricity that flies along the wire# te a tongue of Are. And that reminds me of what I might do now. From the place where I stand on thte platform there are Invisible wires or lines of in­fluence stretching to every heart In all the seats on the main floor, and up Into the boxes and galleries, and there are other Innumerable wire* or lines of In­fluence reaching out from thte place Into the vast lieyond. and across con­tinents. and under the seas, for in my recent Journey around the world 1 did not And a country where 1 had not been preaching thte Gospel for many year* through the printing pres# So as a telegraph operator sits or stands at a given point, and sends messages In all directions, and you only hear the click, click, dick of the electric apparatus, but the telegrams, go on their errand.
