My text says ho stooped down and wrote

Fluff, hut, if with his fingers lie would
write in the dust he must fiend ejenr over.
Ayo, ho must get at least on one kiw
or he cannot write on the ground. Be not
•urprised that he stooped down His
whole life was a down. Stooping
iloivn from castle to barn. Shu.ping down
from ci lestinl homage to inonoeratte jeer.
From resilience above the stars to whore a
star had to tall to designate his landing
place From heaven’s front door to tile
world's back gate From writing in round
and silvi red letters of constellation and
galaxy on the blue scroll of heaven to
writing on the ground In the dust which

Christ came down from the highest

from second heaven to first heaven, down
swifter than meteors ever lei), down amid
stidlar splendors that iiimself I'elipsixi,
down through clou.rs. through urjiu*

where tlu’tv was no lower depth. From
luting waited on at the lianquetof the skies
to Hie broiling of tish for his own break

blazoned chariots of eternity t.o the saddle
of a mule's back. From the homage che

was in consonance with humiliations that

tumid wo sii• Christ's ealigraphy all over
it I This world was not llung out into
sjvai-e thousands of years ago and then left
to look out for itself. It is still under the
divine can'. Christ never for a half sec
ond takes his hand oil of it. or it would
soon be a shipwrecked world, a defunct
world, an obsolete world, an 01x1114001x1
world, a dead world. “Let there he
light.’’ was said at the beginning, and
Christ stands under the wintry skies and
says. Let there ho snowflakes to enrich the
earth. ,md under the clouds of spring and
says, Come, ye blossoms,mid make redolent
the orchards and in SeptemluT dips the
branches in the vat of beautiful colors and
swings them into the hazy air. No whim
of mine is this. ‘ Without him was not
anything made that was made.” Christ
writing on the ground.
If you could see his hand Snail thejuxas

world! All verdure and foljagv would be
allegoriiy mid aijain we would hear him
•say as of old Consider the lilies of the

hear in the whistle of a quail or the caw
, ing of a raven or the roundelay of a brown
thrasher without saying: “Behold the
fowls of the air. They gather not in
tarns, yet your Heavenly Father feedeth
them.' and a Ixmiinic hen of the barn

the redolent hetlges we would hear Christ
saying. “I am the rose of Sharon.” We
could not dip th< we.-isoning from the salt

I cry out with the evangelist, “The day
spring from on high hath visited us,” or,
caught in a snowstorm while struggling
home, eyebrows and beard and apparel all
covered with the whirling flakes, we would
cry out with David, “Wash me, and I
shall be whiter ti an -now.” In a picture 1
gallery of Europe there is on the ceiling
an exquisite fresco, but the jieople having
to look straight up. it wearied and dizzied
thi m and bent their necks almost beyond
endurance, so a great looking glass was
put near the floor, and now visitors only
rul'd to look easily down into this mirror, !
and they see the fresco at their feet. And

\v hat right have we to throw away one

Testament anil the Old Testament so well
as to depreciate the oldest—namely, that
which was written liefore Moses was put
afloat on the bout of leaves which was
calked with asphaltum—or reject the Gen
esis that was written centuries before
Adam lost a rib and gained a wife? No,
no! When Deity stoops down and writes
on the ground, let us read it.
The Bililc In Nature.
1 would have no less appreciation of the
Bible on pajMirtiiat comes out of the paper
mill, but I would urge appreciation of the
Bilile in tlie gra s. the Bible in the sand
liill, the Bilile in the geranium, the Bible
in the asphodel, the Bilile in the dust.
Some one asked m ancient king whether
he had seen the eclipse of the sun. “No,”
said he “I have so much to study on
earth I have no time to look at heaven.”
And it our faculties were all awake in the
study of God we would not have time to
go much fart her than the first gruss blade.
I have no fear that natural religion will
ever contradict w hat we call revealed re
ligion I have no sympathy with the fol
lowers of Aristotle, who after the telescope
was inventisl would not look through it
lest it contradict -ome of the theories of
their great nmsti r. I shall be glad to put
igainst one lid <,f the Bible tlie microscope
and against the other lid of the Bible the

But vviien ('hrist stoopixl down and
wrote on Hie ground wb.it dill he write?
Tlie 1 barisccH did not stop to examine.
The cowards, w iiij ped of their own con
sciences, fled pclln.eli Nothing will flay
a man like mi aroused conscience. Dr.
Stevens, in bis “History of Methodism,”
says that when Bev. Benjamin Abbott of
olden times, was preaching he exclaimed,
“For aught 1 know there may be a mur
derer in this house, 1 ' And a man rose
from the assemblage and started for tlie
door mid bawled aloud, eonfessipg" to a
murder fie hud commit ted 15 years liefore.
And no wonder these Pharisees, reminded
of their sins, took to t heir heels.
But what did (’hrist write on the
ground? The Bible does not state, yet as !
Christ never wrote anything except that i
once you canntit blame ns for wanting to i
know what he really did write, but 1 am
certain he wrote nothing trivial or nothing
unimportant, and will you allow me to
say that I think I know what he wrote on
tlie ground? I judge from the circum
stances. He might have written other
things, hut, kneeling there in the temple,
surrounded by a j ack of hypocrite's who
were a. self appointed constaliulary and
having in his presence a persecuted wom
an, who evidently was very penitent for
her sins, I am sure lie wrote two words,
both of tliem graphic and tremendous and
reverberating, and the one word was “hy
pocrisy, ” and the other word was “for
giveness. ”
From the way these Pharisees and
scribes vacated Hie premises anil got out
into the fresh air as Christ, with just one
ironical sentence, unmasked them I know
they were first class hypocrites. It was
then as it is now. The more faultsand
inconsistencies people have of their own
the more severe and censorious are. they
about the faults of others. Here they are,
20 stout men arresting and arraigning one
weak woman I Magnificent business to
be engaged in! They wanted the fun of
sixiing her faint away under a heavy judi
cial sejitencc from Ciirist, and then, after
she had been taken outside of the city and
f'astened at the foot of the precipice, the
scribes and Pharisees wanted th.e satisfac
tion of each comiag and dropping u big
stone on her head, for t hat was rhe style
of capital punishment that they asked for.
Some people have taken the tespionsibility
of saying that Christ never laughed, but I
think as he saw those men drop every
thing, ehagiincd. niortitjed, exposed, and
go out quicker than they came in he must
have laughed. At any rata, if makes me
laugh t’> vend of it. All of those liber
tines drat atizing indignation against im
purity! Blind bats lecturing on optics!
A (lock of crows on their way up from a
careaSs Qciv-iirjciiig carrion!
Rebuking Xljpocriny.
Yea, 1 think that one wont written on
tlie ground that day by the flngerof Christ
was tlie awful word hypocrisy. What pre
tensions to sanctity are the part of those
hypocritical Pharjsix's! When the fox be
gins tn pray, look out for your ehiekens.
One of the cruel magnates of olden times
was going to excouin.ur<i< one of the
martyrs, and he began in the usual form
—“ln the name of God. Amen.” “Stop!”
says tlie martyr. ‘ Don't say ‘in the name
of God!’ ” Y'et how many outrages are
practiced under the garb of religion anil
sanctity When in synods and conferences
ministers of tlie gosj el are tdiput to say
something unbr< therly and unkind about
;» jneinlter, they almost always begin by
being ,>.-»• ptatmusly pious, the venom of
their assault corresponding to the heaven
ly flavor of the prelude. Aliout to devour
a reputation, they say grace ivfoye meal.
But I am sure there- was anothi r word
in that dust. From her entire manner I
am sutv that rirteiijjnvd woman was re
iH-nt.int She made no .ij-oL and Christ
in nowisi« bclittleil her sin But her sup
plicatory tieha' .i; and bir tears moved
him, and when he st tap? A down to write
on the ground lie wrote that mighty, that
itiiperial word, forgiveness.
When on Sinai t’od wrote the law, he
wrote it with linger of lightning on tables
of stone, each word cut as by a chisel into
thi- hard granite surface. But when he
w rites the otfense of this woman ho writes
it in dust so Hurt it can be easily rubbed
oiw. and when she repents of it, oh. he
was a mcrcitid Christ! 1 w’as reading of
a 1< genii that is told in the far east about,
him He was walking through the street*
of a city, and he saw a crowd around a
dead dog. And one man said, “What a
loathsome object is that dog”' “Yes,”
said another; “his ears are mauled and
bleeding." "Yes." said another; “even
his hide would nor be of any use to the
tanner.” “Yes. ’’ said another; “the odor
of his carcass is dreadful. ” Then Christ,
standing there, said. “But poaria cannot I
equal tiiv whitmess of his teeth." Then
the people, moved by the idea that anyone !
could find anything picmsuit concerning i
the dead dog, said. “Why. tills miiwt he 1
Jesus of Nazareth!’ Reproved and con- I
vieted. they went away.
jsurely this legend of Christ is good
enough u? he true! Kindness in all his '
words and ways and habits I Forgiveness! ;
W ord of 11 letters, and some of them [
thrones and some of them palm branches, j
Better have Christ write close to our names j
that one word, though he write it in dust, I
than to have pur yuine cpt into menu- '
mental granite with the letters that the
storms of 1,000 years cannot obliterate.
Bishop Babington had a book of only
thr < leave.- The first leaf was black, the
sc< ind leaf red, the third leaf white. The
black Itaf suggested sin, the red leaf
atonement, the white leaf purification.
That is the w hole story. God will abun
-1 ’ dantly jiardon
Sympathy For the Feuiteot,
I must not forget,to say that as Christ,
stooping down, with his finger wrote on
the ground it is evident that his symjia
thie- are with this penitent woman and
that he has no synqsithy with her hypo
critical pursuers Just opposite to that
is the world s habit. Why didn’t these
unclean Pharisee's bring one of their own
numior to Ciirist for excoriation and
capibd punishmejit? No, no! Theyover
lixik that in a man which they dumnate in
a woman, and so the world has had for
ofTending woman scourges and objurga
tion, anil for just one offense she becomes
an outcast, while for men whose lives have
L» en s< tde.mlc for 20 years tlie world swings
open its doors of brilliant welcome, and
they may sit in high places. Unlike the
Christ of my text, tlie world writes a
man s misdemeanor in dust, but chisels a
woman's offense with great capitals upon
j ineffaceable marble.
For foreign lords and princes, whose
names cannot even be mentioned in re
spectable circles abroad because they are
walking lazarettos of abomination, some
> of our American princesses of fortune
wait and at the first beck sail out with
them into the, blackness of darkness for
ever. And in what are called higher cir
cles of s -.’iety there is now not only tile
; imitation of foreign dress and foreign
manners, but an imitation of foreign dls
j soltitetass. I like a foreigner, ami I like
. an Amciicru but the sickest creature on
earth is an American playing the foreign
- er. Socfety needs to be reconstructed on
f this subject. Tieat them alike, masculine
; crime and feminine crime. If you cut the
‘ one in granite, cut them liuth in granite.
; If you write the one in dust, write the
j other in dust. “No, no,” says the world;
“let woman go ilown and let man go up.”
What is that! hear plashing into tlie Hud
son or Potomac at midnight? And then
there is a gurgle as of strangulation, and
all is still. Never mind. It is only a
woman too discouraged to live. Let the
mills of the i ruel world grind right on.
But wliily 1 speak of Christ of the text,
his stooping down writing in the dust, do
not think I underrate the literature of the
dust It is the most trenmndous of all
literature. It is the greatestof all libraries.
When Bayard exhumed Nineveh, he was
only opening the door of its mighty dust.
The excavations of Pompeii have only
been the unclasping of the lids of a volume
of a nation’s dust. When Admiral Farra
gut. anil his friends visited that resurrected
city, Hie house of Balbo, who had been
one of its chief citizens in its prosperous
days, was opened, and a table was spread
in that house which 1,810 years had been
buried by volcanic eruption, and Farragut
anil his guests walked over the exquisite
mosaics and under the boautiful fresco,
and it almost seemed like being entertain
ed by those who 18 centuries ago had
turned to dust.
Literature of the Dust.
Oh, this mighty literature of the dust!
Where ate the remains of Sennacherib and
Attila and Epatninondas and Tamerlane
and Trajan and Philip of Macedon and
Julius (’ivsar? Dust! Where aro tlie he
roes who fought on both sides at ChaT
onea, at Hastings, nt Marathon, atCressy,
of the 110,000 men who fought at Agin
court, of the 250,00(1 men who faced death
at Jena, of Hie 400,000 whose armor glit
tered m the sun at Wagram, of the 1,000,-
000 men under Darius at Arbela, of the
2,041,000 men under Xerxes at Thermop
ylai? Dust! Where are the guests who
danced tlie floors of the Alhambra or the
Persian palace of Ahasuerus? Dust!
Where are the musicians who played or
tile orators who spoke and the sculptors
who chiseled and the architects who built
in all the centuries except our own? Dust I
Where are the most of the books that once
' entranced the world? Dust! Pliny wrote
j2O books of history; all lost. The most of
j Menander’s writings lost Os 310 come
dies of Plautus all gone but 20. Euripides
wrote 100 dramas ; ail gone but 19. JEschy
lus wrote 100 dramas; all gone but seven.
Varro wrote the laborious biographies of
700 Remans; not a fragment left. Quin
tilian wrote liis favorite book on the cor
ruption of eloquence; all lost. Thirty
books of Tacitus lost . Dion Cassius wrote
80 books; only 20 remain. Dcrosius’ his
tory all lost. Where there is one living
book there are a thousand dead books.
The greatest library in the world, that
which Ims the widest shelves and longest
aisles anil the most, u ultitudinous vol
umes and the vastest, wealth, is tlie under
ground library It is the royal library,
the continental library, the hemispheric
library, the planetary library, the library
of the dust. And all these library cases
will be opened, and all these scrolls un
rolled, and all these yplumes unclasped,
anil as easily as in your library or mine
wi) take up a book, blow the dust off of it
and turn over its pages so easily will the
Lord of the resurrection pick out of this
library of dust every volume of human life
and open it and read it and display it, and
the volume will bo rebound, to be set in
the royal library of the king’s palace or
in the prison library of the self destroyed
(boundless Mercy.
Oh, this mighty literature of the dust’
It is not so wonderful, after all, that
Christ chose instead of an inkstand the
impressionable sand on the floor of an an
cient temple, and instead of a bard pen
put forth ins forefinger with the same
kind of nerve and muscle and bone and
flesh as that which makes up our ovv n
forefinger, anil wrote the awful doom of
hypocrisy, and full and complete forgive
ness for repentant sinners, even the worst
We talk about the ocean of Christ’s mercy
Put four ships upon that ocean and kt
them sail out in opposite directions for
1,000 years and see if they can find the
shore of tlie ocean of the divine mercy.
Let them sail to the north and the south
and tlie east and the west, and then after
the 1.000 years of voyage let them come
back and they will report, “No shore, no
shore to the ocean of God's mercy!”
And now I can believe that which I
read, how that a mother kept burning a
candle in the window every night for ten
years, and one night very late a poor waif
of the street entered. Tlie aged woman
said to her, “Sit down by the tiro. ” And
the stranger said. ‘Why do you keep that
light in the window?" The aged woman
said: “That is to light my wayward
daughter when she returns. Since she
went away, ten years ago, my hair has
turned white Folks blame, me for worry
ing al out her, but you see I am her moth
er. and sometimes half a dozen times a
night 1 open the door ami look out into
the darkness and cry. ‘Lizzie! Lizzie!’
But! must not tell you any more about
my trouble, for I guess from the way you
cry you have trouble enough of your own.
Why, hiiw eohi and sick you seem! Oh,
my! Can It be? Yes, you are Lizzie, my
own lost child! Thank God that, you aru
home again!” And what a time of re
joining there was in that house that night!
And Christ again stooped down and in
the ashes Os that hearth, now lighted up,
not more !>v the great blazing logs than
by the joy of a reunited household, wrote
the same liberating words that hail been
written more than I.MMi years ago in the
dust of the Jerusalem temple. Forgive
ness! A word broad enough and high
enough to Jet jmss through it all the
armies of heaven a million abreast on
white horses, nostril to nostril, dank to
dank.
A CLEVER TRICK.
It <e»«a.inly looks like it. but there is
really no trick about It. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole system, acts as astimulant to
I the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cure, constipation,

a mild laxative, and restores the system to

MAY POOL
FREIGHT CARS.
The Railroads Are Seriously
Considering it and Say it
is Practical.
The Central Association of Railroad
i Officers, at its recent meeting at Indiana
i polis, decided that the plan for pooling
! freight cars suggested by the superintend
ent of oar service of the Big Four roads
I was both feasible and practicable. It is
j proposed to start with a limited pool by
j a division of the country into territorial
’ sections, these sections being gradually
I consolidated until eventually there would
■ be but the one pool of all the freight cars
; ot the United States.
Vice President Egan, of the Central,
! speaking to a representative of the Savan
nah Morning News on the subject said:
“Such a movement has been agitated for
several years now and has become quite
a topic of talk at the different meetings
of men interested in the practical man
agement of railroad properties.” said he.
“It is claimed by those who are in favor
of pooling the freight cars that it would
effect a great saving to the railroads as
it would enable them to go along without
building any ears for several years, would
give economy in maintenance, and would
reduce operating expenses by not requir
ing all railroads to keep on hand such a
variety and number of freight cars.
"The idea.” continued Mr. Egan, ‘is for
all the railroads, or for the railroads of a
large section, as is now sugested, to put
all their freight rolling stock into a com
mon pool. We will say that the Central,
Plant System, Florida Central and 'Penin
sular. Georgia and Alabama and Southern,
with perhaps one or two others, went into
a pool. AM of their freight cars would
then be considered as common property,
subject to the demands and uses oif all the
railroads in the pool. At the end of a
year the profits earned by the cars would
be divided among the lines in the pool on
a basis of the number of cars put in the
pool by each. The theory is that the cars
would then be idle, and that a less number
would be required to meet all demans. The
business of the roads, taking the country
as a whole, or any very large portion of
it. varies. All are not busy at the same
time, and by having cars subject to the
uses of al<l the roads, the companies need
ing them could get them and those owning
them would derive an additional profit
form such joint use.”
“Do you think the plan will be carried
out?”
"That J cannot say. 1 am afraid there
are too many obstacles to be overcome,
though. There are so many varieties of
cars, so many different purposes for which
they are especially built, and so much dif
ference in their carrying capacity, that it
would be, I am inclined to believe, an in
surmountable job to arrange a pool so that
the earnings could be prorated equitably.
Still, no one can tell what the future may
bring forth on this or any other line.”
Quite a number of prominent railroad
men are understood to be heartily in favor
of the pooling movement.

Cuthbert. Ga. March 22, 1898.—This is
to certify that I have been a sufferer from
a kidney trouble for ten years and that I
have taken less than one bottle of Hall’s

cured.
I cheerfully recommend It to any one
suffering from any kidney trouble, as I

LIL HAS CANCER.,
The Ex-Queen of Hawaii Has Not Long to
Live.
San Francisco, August I—There were
tears in the eyes of ex-Queen Liliuokalani
when she stepped aboard the steamer
Gaelic. The ex-Queen believed that she
was going to her grave. For more than a
year past she has been suffering from a
cancer on the right side of her neck, but
for many months the presence of the
growth was known to no one save herself.
Dr. English, the New York specialist, ac
companies the ex-Queen to Hawaii. He
has announced, it is said, that, owing to
the position of the cancer and the long
neglect in securing proper treatment, the
condition of the ex-Queen is very critical.

PHILIPPINERS”
FULL OF SPORT
It Is a Pauper that Does Not
Own a Fighting Cock
in that Citv.
Manila, via Hong Kong, July 10 —The
sports of the city of Manila, in the Phil
ippines, are purely Spanish. They consist
of hull fights, sometimes with men and
sometimes with lions and tigers, and more
insistently and continuously of cock fights.
Every native has his fighting cock,
which is reared with the greatest care
until it has shown sufficient prowess to
entitle it to an entrance into the cockpit.
In case of fire the rooster is rhe first thing
rescued and removed to a place of safety.
It is almost impossible to walk along
any street in the suburban part of the
town without seeing dozens of natives
trudging along with roosters under their
arms. At every other little roadside hut
an impromptu battle will be gojng on be.-
tween two birds of equal or unequal merit,
the two proprietors holding their respec
tive roosters by the tails in order that they
may not come into close quarters.
The cockpits, where gatherings are held i
on Thursdays and Sundays, are . rge in
closures. covered with a roof of thatch
sewed on a framework of bamboo. They
are open on all sides, and banked u, with
tiers of rude seats, that surround a saw
dust ring in the center.
Outside the gates to the flimsy structure
sits a motely crowd of women, young amj
old, selling eatables, whose dark, greasy
texture beggars description, while here and
there in the open spaces a couple of na
tives will be giving their respective roost
ers a sort of preliminary trial with each
other. As the show gpes pn iqside shouts
and applause resound, and at i b e close ot
the performance a multitude of two
wheeled gigs carry off the victors with
their spoils, while the losers trudge home
thjaugh the dust on foot.
