Mr. iohn Pearson's Statement:

Left-Handed Men,
But when the children of Israel cried —
tha Lord, the Lord raised them up deliv
er Ehud, the son of Gera, a Benjaimte, a
sn left-handed; and by him the children
ot Israel sent a present unto Eglon the
King of Moab.—Judges ill., 13.
Ehud was a ruler in Israel, ilc
was left-handed, and, what was pecu
liar about the tribe of Benjamin, tc
which he belonged, there were in il
700 left-handed men; and yet, so dex
terous had they all become ia the us»
of the left hand that the Bible say*
they could sling stones at a hair’*
breadth, and not miss.
Well, there was a king by the nam*
of Eglon, who waB an oppressor of
Israel. He imposed upon them
outrageous tax. Ehud, the n
whom I first spoke, had a divin
mission lo destroy that oppressor. He
came, pretending he was going to pay
the tax, and asked to see King Eglon.
lie was told lie was in the summer
house, the place to which the king
tired when it was too hot to sit in t
palace. This summer-house wai
place surrounded by flowers, a
trees,and springing fountains, and w;
bling birds. Ehud entered the sn
mer-housc, and said to King Eglon
that be had a secret errand with him.
Immediately all the attendants were
waved out of the royal presence. King
Eglon rises up to receive the messen
ger. Ehud. the left-handed man, puta
his left hand to bis right side, pulls
out a dagger, and thrust* Eglon
throngh until the bait went in after the
blade. Eglon falls. Ebnd comes
forth to blow a trumpet of recruit amid
the mountains of Ephraim; and a great
host is marshalled, and prond Moab
submit* to the conquerer, and Israel is
free. So, O Lord, let all thine enemies
perish! So. O Lord, let all thy friends
triumph!
I learn first, from this subject, the
power of left-handed men. There are
some men who, by physical organiza
tion, have as much strength in their
left hand as in their right hand; bnt
there is something in the writing of
this text which implies that Ehnd had
some defect in his right hand, which
compelled him to use tbe left. Oh, the
power of left-handed men! Genuia is
often self-observant, careful of itself,
not given to mnch toil, horning incense
to its own aggrandizement; while many
a man, with no natural endowments,
actually defective in physical and
mental organization, has an earnest
ness for the right, a patient industry,
and all-consuming perseverance, which
achieve marvels for the kingdom of
Christ. Though left-handed as Ehud,
they can strike down a sin as great
and imperial as Eglon.
I have seen men of wealth gathering
about them all their treasures, snuffing
at the cause of a world lying in wick
edness, roughly ordering Lazarus off
their doorstep, sending their dogs
to lick his sores, hut to hound hi
their premises, catching all the pure
rain of God’s blessing into the stag-
:, ropy, froginhabited pool of their
selfishness—right-handed men,
worse than uceless—while many a man,
with large heart and little pulse, has,
out of his limited means, made poverty
leap for joy, and started an influence
that overspans the grave, and will
swing ronnd and round the throne of
God, world withont end; Amen.
Ah me, it is high time that you left-
handed men, who have been lunging
for this gift, and that eloquence, and
the other man’s wealth, Bbould take
yonr left hand ont of yonr pockets.
Who made all these railroads? Who
set up all these cities? Who started
all these churches, and schools, and
asylums? Who has done tbe tugging,
and running and palling? Men of no
wonderful endowments, thousands of
them acknowledging themselves to be
left-handed, and yet they were earnest,
and yet they were determined, and yet
they were triumphant.
Bat I do not suppose that Ehnd,
the first time he took a sling in bis left
hand, could throw a stone a hair’s-
breadth, and not miss. I suppose it

The anhients used to think that the

that every ship that went through

they were in the habit of patting

call them the “Gate of Tears.” Oh,
