David, the she; bard hoy, is v. a’ehimf his fathor’s i h:cp 'limy nrpasturing on the very hills wi?ero afterward a Linnb was born of which you have h -n:d much, "tho Lamb of God, w hich taluith av. ,iy the sin of the world. David, tho ehmdicrd boy, ! was beautiful. brave, musical and poetic, i I think lie often forgot the sheep in hi.t reverief'. There in tho rolltuik- he struck tho harp string that is thrilling through nil ages. David the boy was gathering thomaterial fur David the p- > 1 and David the man. Like other boys. David was fond of using hi., l idio among the Faplinga, and he h.’.d noticed the exuding of the juico of the tri e, and when ho be-. >me a man ho said, "The tr.-e- of the Lord are full of sap.” David the boy, like other boys, bad been fond, of hunting the birds' nests, and ho had driven tbo old stork off tho nest to find how’many eggs w ere until r her, and when he became man lie said, “As for the stork, tbo flr trees are her house." In boyhcod bo had hoard tl;o ter rifle thunder term that frightened the red doer into premature r.i-. knoss, and whop ho became a man ho said, “ The voice of tho Lord moketh tho hinds to calve." David the boy hud lain upon Ida back looking tip nt tho stars nod examining the sky, and to his boyish imagination tho sky seemed Hko n piaca of divine embroidery, tho diviiio floytus working in tho thri ad.t of light and tho beads of stars, and ho be came n m:.n and wrote, “When 1 consider thy heavens, tho work of thy fingers.’’ When lio became r.n chi man, thinking of the goodness of (loti, he’seemed to hear tho bleating of his father's sheep across many years ami to think of the lime when bo tended Ii em on the Heth 1 'hem hills, and bo cries out in tshu text, "The Lord is my shepherd." If God will help mo, I will tall; to you of tho shepherd's plaid, the shepherd's crook, tbo shepherd's dtho ehepherd’s pasture grounds, and the shepherd's flocks. The Shepherd's Plaid. And flr-Ttho shepherd's j-lnld. It would bo preposterous for a man going out to rough and besoiling work to put on splendid apparel. Tiie potter does not work In velvet. Tho servant m.titl does not put on satin wh.ilo toiliiig nt her duties. Tho shepherd does not wear a splendid robe in which to go out amid Mie .-terras, and the rocks and I lie nettle:;; lie put:’, on thorough apparel appropriate to his exposed Work. Tbo Lord our IShepherd, coming out to hunt the lost sheep, puts on no regal ap parel, but the plain garment of our hu manity. There was nothing pretentious about it. 1 know tbo old painters repre sent n halo around the babe Jesus, but I do not suppose that there was any more halo about that child than about tho head of any other bubo that was born that Christ man eve in Judrca. Becoming a man, he wore a sonmlesa garment. The seissor.t and needle had done nothing to make it graceful. I take it to have been a sack with three holes in it, one for the neck and two for tho arms. Although the gam blers quarreled over it, that is no evidence of its value. I have seen two ragpickers quarrel over tho refuse of an ash barrel. No; in tho wardrobe of heaven he left the sandals of light, the girdles ot i-.e--.uty, the robes of power, and put on the besoiled and tattered raiment of our humanity. Some times bo did not even wear the seamless role. What is that hanging about the waist of Christ? Is it a badge of authority? Is it a royal coat of arm.-:? No; it is a towel. The disciples’feet are filthy from tho walk on tho Jong way and are not fit to be put upon tho sofas on which they are to recline nt the meal, and so Jesus washes the’r feet and gathers them up in the towel to dry them. The work of saving this world was rough work, rugged work, hard work, and Jesus put on the raiment, the plain raiment of our tlesh. The storms were to beat Idm, the crowds wore to jostle him, the dust was to sprinkle him, the mobs were to pt,:sue him O Shepherd of Israel, leave at homo thy bright array! For thee, what streams to ford, what nights all unsheltered! Ho puts upon him the plain raiment o: our humanity, wears our woes, an I while earth and heaven and hell stand m. i ized at thv abnegation wraps around him the shepherd's plaid Cold mountains and the mi might air Witlie- sed the fervor of his prayer. The Shepherd’s Crook. Next 1 mention tho shepherd's crook. This was n rod with a curve at the end, which when a sheep was going astray was thrown over its neck and in that way it was pulled back When the sheep were not going astray! the shepherd would of ten use it us a sort of crutch, leaning on it, but when the sheep were out of ths way the crook was always busy pulling them back. All we, like sheep, have gone astray, and. had it net been for the shep herd’s crook wo would have fallen long ago over the precipices. Hero is a man who is making too much money. He is getting very vain He says: "Alter awhile I shall be independent of all the world. Omy soul, eat. drfnk and be merry! ’ Business disaster comes to him. What is God going to do with him? Has God any grudge against him? Oh, ao! God is throwing over him the shep herd's crook and puiiing him back into Uetter pastures. Here is a man who has always been well He has never had any sympathy fur invalids. Ho calls them eo’igbing, wheezing nuisances. After awhile sickness conies to him. Ho does not understand what God is going to do with him. He says, "Is the Lord angry with me?” Oh, no! V> ; .th tbo shepherd’s crook ho has been pulled hack into better pastures. Here is a happy household cir cle. The parent does not realize the truth that these children are only h aned to him, and he forgets from what source came his domestic blessings. Sickness drops upon those children and d ath swoops upon a little one. He says, "Is God angry with me?” No. Bis shepherd’s crock puils him back into better pastures. Ido not know what would have become of us if it had not been for the shepherd’s crook. Oh, the mercies of our troubles! You take up apples and plums from under tho shade of the trees, and the very best fruits of Christian character we find in the deep shade of trouble. Uses of Adversity. When I was on the steamer coming across tho ocean, I got a cinder in my eye, and several persons tried’ to get it cut-very gently, but it could not be taken out in that way. I was told that the engineer had a facility In such eases. I went to him. He put his large, soosy hand on me, took a knife and wrapped the lid of the eye around the knife. I expected to be hurt very much, but without any pain and instantly he removed the cinder. Ob, there come times in our Christian lifo when our spiritual vision is being spoiled and ail genlie appliances fail! Then there comes same gioct trouble and black handed lays hold of us and rttnoves t!»at which would have ruir»d our vision for ever. I will gather all your joys together in one regiment of t«»n c .mpauies. and I will put t u> under Cchmvl Joy. Then I wiii gather ail your sorrows together in one regr:.» of ’er. companies and put th< m under Cul-ru-l heart ihc-n I will a.-k. Which of tis tte regiments has gained for you the greater spiritual vic tories? Certainly that under Colonel Bre-ikheart. In tan time of war. you may remember at the south and north, the question was wit- ti.cr the black troops would tight, but when th- y were put into the struggle on both sides they did heroically In the great day of eternity it will be found that it was not the white regiment of joys that gained your greatest suco sses, bat the b’ai k troops of trouble, ml~fortune and ‘disaster. Where you ha- e gained one spiritual success from your prosperity, you have gained ten spiritual successes from your adversity. There is no animal that struggles more violently than a sheep when you corner it and catch hold of it. Down In the glen I see a group of men around a lost sheep. A plowman comes along and seizes the sheep and tries to pacify it, but it is more fright ened than ever. A miller comes along, puts down his grist and caresses the sboop, and it seems as if it would die of fright. After awhile some one breaks tkrtingh tho thl. kot. He wiys, “ Let me have the poor thing." Ho comes up and lays his arms around the sheep and it is immediately quiet. Who is tbo last man that comes? It is the shepherd. Ah, my friends, be not afraid of the shepherd’s crook I It is never used on you save in mercy, to puli you back. Tho hard, cold Iceberg of trouble will melt in the warm gulf stream of divine sympathy. There is one passage I think you misin terpret, "The bruised reed he will not break." Do you know that the shepherd In olden times played upon these reeds? They were very easily bruised, but when theyw. ru bruised they were never mended. The shepherd could so easily make another one, he would snhp the old one and throw it away and get another. Tho Bible says it is not so with our Shepherd. When the music is gone out of a man’s soul, God does not snap him in twain and throw him away. He mends anti restores. "Tho bruised reed ho will not break." When in the o’erhanging heavens of fate The threatening clouds of darkness dwell. Tin n k t u.» humbly watch and wait. It > ::li I-, well, it shall be well. And when the storm has passed away And suusbii: j smiles on flood and fell How sweet to think, how sweet to say, It ha- been well, it has been well! e Tb» Shepherd’s Dogs. Next I speak of tho shepherd’s dogs. They watch the straying sheep and dyiv» them back again. Every shepherd has his dog—from the nomads of the Bible times down to the Scotch herdsman watching his flocks on the Grampian hills. Our Shepherd employs the criticisms and per eciitions of the world as his dogs. There arc those, you know,whose whole work it is to watch tbo inconsistences of Christians aid bark at them. If one of God’s sheep gets astray, the world howls. With more avidity than :i shopherd's dog ever caught a stray sheep by tho flanks or lugged it by the ears worldlings seize the Christian astray. Lt ought to do ns good to know that we are thus watched. It ought to put us on our guard. They cannot bite us, if wo stay near the Shepherd. The sharp knife of worldly assault will only trim the vines until they produce better grapes. The more you pound marjoram and rose mary, tho sweeter they smell. The more de-gs take after you, tjia quicker you will get to t he gate. You have noticed that different flecks of sheep have different marks upon them; sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue mark, sometimes a straight mark and sometimes a crooked mark. The Lord our Shepherd has a mark for his sheep. It is a red mark the mark of the cross. "Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the king dom of heaven. ” Furthermore, consider tho shopherds’ pasture grounds. The old. shepherds used to take the sheep upon the mountains in the summer and dwell in the valleys in the winter. The sheep being out of doors perpetually, their wool was better than if they had been kept in the hot atmosphere of tho sheep cot. Wells were dug for the sheep and covered with large stones, in or der that tho hot weather might not spoil tho water. And then the shepherd led his flock wherever he would; nobody dis puted his right. So the Lord our Shepherd has a largo pasture ground. He takes us in the summer to the mountains and in the winter to the valleys. Warm days of prosperity come and wo stand on sun gilt Sabbaths, and on hills of transfiguration, and wo are so high up we can catch a glimpse of tho pinnacles of the heavenly city. Then cold, wintry days of trouble ce.mo, and we go down into tho valley of sickness, want and bereavement and we say, "Is there any sorrow like unto my sor row?" But, blessed be God, the Lord’s sheep can find pasture any whero. Between two rocks of trouble a tuft of succulent promises: green pastures beside still wa ters; long, sweet grass between bitter graves You hav;e noticed the structure of the sheep’s mouth? It is so sharp that it can take up a blade of grass or clover top from the very narrowest spot. And so God’s sheep can pick up comfort where others can gather none. “The secret o£ the Lord is with them that fear him.” Rich pasture, fountain fed pasture, for all the flock of the Good Shepherd! The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacre;’ Sweets Bel ore v. •> reach the heavenly fields Or walk the golden streets. The Shepherd's Fold. Lastly consider tho shepherd’s fold. The ti: e of sheep shearing was a very glad time. The neighbors gathered to g ther, and they poured wine and danced for joy. Tho sheep were put in a place In closed by a wall, where it was very easy to count them and know whether any of them had been taken by the jackals or dogs. The inclosure was called the sheep fold. Good news I have to tell you, in that our Lord tho Shepherd has a sheepfold, and those who are gathered it; it shall nev er be struck by the storm, shall never bo touched by the jackals of temptation and trouble. It has a high wall—so high that no troubles can get in, so high that the joys cannot get out. How glad the old sheep will be to find the lambs that left them a good many years ago! Millions of children in heaven! Oh, what a mercy heaven it will make! Not many long meter psalms there! They will be in the majority and will run away with our song, carrying it up to a still higher yeint of ecstasy. Oh, there will be shouting! If children on earth clapped their hands and danced for joy. what will they -Jo when to the glad ness of childhood on earth is added the gladness of childhood in heaven? It istimawc got over these morbid ideas of how wo shall get outol this world. You make your religion an undertaker planing coffins and driving hearses. Your reli gion smells of the varnish of a funeral cas ket. Rather let yeur religion today come out and show you tho sheepfold that God has provided for you. Ah, you say, there is a river between this and that! I know it. but that Jordan is only for tho sheep washing, and they shall go up on the oth er banks snow white. They follow the great Shepherd. They heard his voice long ago. They are safe,now—one fold and one Shepherd! Alas for Xhose who are finally found out side tbo inclosure! The night of their sin bowls with jackals. They are thirsting for their blood. The very moment that a lamb may be frisking upon the hills a bear may be looking at it from the thicket. The Joy of Victory. In June, 1815. there was a. very noble party gathered in a house in St. James square, London. Tne prince regent was present, and the occasion was made fasci nating by music and banqueting and by jewels. While a quadrille was being formed, suddenly all the people rushed to the win dows. What is the matter? Henry-Percy bad arrived with the news that Waterloo had been fought and that England bad won the day. The dance was abandoned, the party dispersed, lords, ladies and mu sicians rushed into tho street, and in 15 minutes from the first announcement of the good news the house was emptied of ; all its guests.. Oh, ye who ar§, seated al the banquet ol thia world or whirling in its gayeties and frivolities, if you could hear the sweet strains of the gospel trum pet announcing Christ's victory over sin and death and heli, you would rush forth, glad in the eternal deliverance! The Wa terloo against sin has been fought, and our Commander In Chief hath won tho day. Oh, the joys of this salvation! Ido not r:.rcwh:it metaphor, what com par Ison, you have.

Experimented with many others, but never got the true reme dy until we used Dr. King's New Discov ery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc.” It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Dis covery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is "guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Son’s Irug store. GETTING READ/ FOR BALL. The Mercer Boys Will Have New Uniforms For This Season. The students out at Mercer who are in terested in the ball team are making a canvass of the cify for help to buy new uniforms for the ball team. The treasure' of the team is in a sadly depleted condi tion, and has been for some time past. The members of the team will help buy the uniform, but it has been decided to buy uniforms that will last for some time, and of the best make.

The Great Shops of the German Gun makers. Th? city o' Essen is located in the cen tre of a hill valley, which abounds in ecal and Iron ore, and the diging for both and the milting of the ore and casting it Into ingots and iciii i; into bars rave been been the oacui-atlor.s ol the uii»ai»i:au:s far centuries past, says rae Ire” A’se- Rf* A, rich Krupp, the founder work bea:;r_e e:s name. Ar " "Lru in 1757. and v.: n crucible cast steel was hting intro duced into England, and its importation from there into Germany had been made impassible through the edict of Napoleon called “the coniiner.tal-sperre.” F. Krupp began to preduee crucible ea--t steel, first in small quantities for fiks,'stamps, roils rolls for coins and shears, but only slowly could he cor,vince and p.-rsuade German manufacturers to use Ms cast steel, and after a life full of disappointments and hardships he died in 1826, after a long and severe illness, leaving to ais son Alfred little else than the old homestead, which still stands in the midst of the great works and the secret of his invention. Alfred Krupp's energy and enterprise scon conquered. His first success was to be able to furnish cast steel of a varying degree of hardness, thereby increasing iis adaptability for many new purposes. Next came the invention of the weldless car wheel tires, yhich were patented in all rou ntries inlßs3,an d furnished him cap ital for enlarging his plant. In 1865 he in terested hitmself in coal mines, iron ere mines and furnaces, which should furnish the material for his own works, and in 1867 he began to reap the harvest from his ex .periments inaugurated long since with steel cannon, and the great Franco-Ger man war of 1870-71 proved beyond doubt tljeir superiority as against the old bronze cannons. Since then the success of thes? works and their growth have been phe nomenal, and when Alfred Krupp closed the busy and successful and philanthropic work of his life in 1887 at Villa Huegel. his princely home on the side hills of the Val ley of the Ruhr, the city of Essen, in re cognition of his great work, erected a beautiful monument on the mert't prominent square of the city, and deputations from many rfa-tions mourned at his grave. Essen is a city of 26,000 inhabitants, and over 20,000 of this population are employed in the works of the able and energetic son of Alfred Krutpp—Friedrich Alfred. Over 1,200 acres of ground are covered with buildings and machinery. Many coal -mines furnish fuel for the works, over 400 iron ore mines furnish the metal, and large iron ore deposits in Spain, near Bilboa, have been built, which bring over 300,000 tons of this Spanish iron ore rrc-u Spain to the German coast and up the Rhine. Twenty furnaces at Duisburg and Neuwied-on-the- Rhine are reducing this ore for the Krupp works, and are owned or controlled by them. The main street of Essen divides the Krupp works into two parts, connected overhead with innume’ra'bie -mammoth steam pipes and bridges, -and parallel with i-t, running east -and west, the tracks of the Rhenish railway pass the works in the north, while in the south the railroad lead ing from Dusseldorf to Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin skirts the mill. Innumerable tracks connect these two main lines of railroad, surrounding in an inextricable network the buildings and crossing the street loading to Muelheim below its level,- Powerful locomotives bring train loads of raw material into the yards, and leave the works with valuable products, finished and ready for shipment. 0 all parts of the globe. Miniature buildings and cars move about between the buildings on narrow gauge ■tracks, bringing material- of Smaller size from one building to another until It is finished and ready for the market.
