Tbe foi Mr. iohn Pearson's Statement: r *" t b2d Prin * it tacked with a ™wesk\£tl ts% 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 practice that gave him that tiie Lone Restorer saved inr life, and iny neighbors are of the same opinion. It I* the best Lung Remedy •Ter made. In my opinion.

Within tbe corporate limits, situated on the people who would have considered it the greatest honor of their life jnst to have him him apeak to them, yet, al though he ia so high up in worldly position, he is not beyond the reach of Ehnd’a dagger. I see a great many people trying to climb up in social posi tion, having an idea that there is a safe place somewhere far above, not knowing that the mountain of fame lias atop like Mont Blanc covered with perpetnal snow. We laugh at the children of Kbiner for trying to build a towe* that could reach to the heavens; but I think, if ■ eyesight were only good enough, could see a Babel in many a door- yard. Oh, the struggle is fierce. It is atore against store, house against house, street against street, nation against nation. The goal for which men are running is chairs, and chandeliers, and mirrors, and houses, and lands, and presidential equipments. If they get what they anticipate, what have they got? Men are not raf* from calumny while they live, and, worse than that, they are not safe after they are dead;for I have seen swine root up. gravevardi One day a man goes up into publicity, and the world does him honor, and peo ple climb up into sycamore watch him as he passes, ant goes along on tha shoulders of the peo ple, there is a waving of bats an * wild huzza. To-morrow the same is caught between the jaws of the print ing press and mangtod and braised, and the very same persons who ap plauded him before cry. “Down with the traitor! down with Belshazzar sits at the feast, the mighty men of Babylon sitting all around him.

Amidst wreaths, and tapestry, and folded banners, a finger writes. The march of a host it heard on the stairs. Langbter catches in the throat. A thousand hearts stop beating. The blow is struck. The blood on the floor is richer-hned than the wine on the table. The kingdom has departed. Belshazzar was worse, perhaps, than hundreds of peo ple in Babylon, but his position slew him. Oh, be content with just such a position as God baa placed yon ' It may not bo said of ns, “He was great general,” or “He was an honored chieftain,” or‘He was mighty in world ly attainments;” bnt this thing may be said of yon and me, “He was a good citizen, a faithful Christian, a friend of Jeans.” And that in the last day will be the highest of ^1 ealogiums. I learn farther from this snbject that death comes to the snmmer-hoase. Eglon did not expect to die in that fine place. Amid all the flower-leaves that drifted like summer snow into the the tinkle and dash of the fountains; in the sonnd of a thousand leavea flattering on one tree-branch; ii the cool breeze that came np to shake feverish trouble out of the king’s locks —there was nothing that apake of death, bnt there h* died I In the winter when the anow ie a shroud, and when the wind ie a dirge, it is easy to think of onr mortality; but when the weather is pleasant, and all onr^ surroundings Her sonl goes out so gently, you do not exactly know the moment of its going.

Bnt what of that? Must we stand forever mourning among tbe graves of onr dead? No! no! The peo ple of Bengal bnng cages of birds to the graves of their dead, and then open the cages, and the birds go singing heavenward. So I would bring yon the graves of your dead to-night all bright thoughts and congratulations, ind bid them think of victory and re demption. I stamp on the bottom ot the grave, and it breaks throngh the light and the glory of heaven. The anhients used to think that the straits entering the Red sea were very dangerous places, and they supposed that every ship that went through weald he destroyed, and they were in the habit of patting weeds of mourning for those who had gone on that voyage, as though they :tually dead. Do you know what they call thou straits? They call them the “Gate of Tears.” Oh, I stand to-night at the gate of teari through which many of yonr loved ones have gone, and 1 want to tell yon that all are not shipwrecked that have gone through those straits into the great ocean stretching ont beyond. The sonnd that comes from that other shore ights when we are wrapped ikes me think that the i parted are not dead. We are the dead —we who toil: we who weep: sin—we are the dead. How my heart aches for human sorrow! this sound of breaking hearts that I hear all about me! this last look of faces that will never brighten again! this IsBt kiss of lips that will never speak again! this widowhood and orphanage! Oh,when will the day of sorrow be gone! After the sharpest winter, the spring dismounts from the ahonldsr of southern gale and pats its warm hand upon the earth, and in its palm there comes the grass, and there comes the flowers, and God reads over the poetry of bird, and brook, and bloom, and pronounces it very good.
