* The moat re markable event in
the history of tho world _ was. the
death of Jesus Christ,* mid Rov,
Dr. .Thomas A. Hoyt, pastor of the
Chambers Presbyterian Church,
Philadelphia, in beginning a apo
dal sermon to the medical stndente.
“ Its hidden meaning*/’ ho com
tinned, 11 are transcendent and it
was without parallel, the most sub
lime tragedy ever enaoted." The
speaker had chosen his toxt from 8t.
John, 3t, 10. John, he aid, sstood
only a few feet distant from the
Saviour and subsequently related
what be saw. The subject discuss*
ed by the speaker was, “What was
the physical cause of Christ’s
death ?” Soveral eminent phy*i*
ciaoshad devoted years to the
study of the question, and a book
on .the subject had been published
by Dr. Stroud,.of Edinburg, about
thirty-five years ago, in which be
ascribed Christ’s death to rupture
of tbo heart. During a con vent icn
of physicians in Scotland several
year* ago tbo deductions arrived at
in this book wero presented for
their consideration and they wrote
confirmed. Thero are, the minis
ter said, many cases on record
hero (hath lias resulted from vio
lent passions of joy or grief. I'iiny
tell* us of a Laccdainoniau who
fell dead with joy at hearing that
his sou had won a ptizo at the
Olympian games. Tho speaker
road several medical opinion* on
tho subject of heart rupture, and
continued: “There is no pretence
that tho spear thrust into the Sav
ior’s aide cansed death. In fact,
Ho was dead beforo tho wound was
received. Christ was crus : fied at
nino o’clock in tbo morning nnd
expired at three o'clock in the af
ternoon, or two hours beforo the
centurian dealt the blow with his
spear. The crucified usually lived
from two to three days and some
times as long as five days on the
cross. Thero is no evidenco that
dUenm might have caused His
death and uo reason to believe that
Ho was not of pcrftcl health.—
-Some have thought that llo might
have died from exhaustion, hut wo
arc told that ifo was tnir.u ulously
sustained during Uis trials, it
was not weakness. Somu declare
that lie voluutarily give up lift,
but llowlid not ukc His life; lb
simply submitted to tbo conditions
under which lie died. Tuo utibwcr
to tbo question, 'what was tlm
physical cause of Christ’* death V
is,'Rupture of the heart, caustd
by mental agony.' Literally, He
died of a broken beait." The
speaker read extracts from many
letters from eminent physician-
giving their opinions on Dr.
Stroud’s book and on h‘s doduo
tion as to tbo death of the Saviour.
They all endursi bis conclusion
that Christ bad died of a ruptured
heart. “John s-iy*/' continued
the speakor, " that when the spear
wa* thru*t iuto tho Soviour's side,
'forthwith camo thero out blood
and water.'" Dr. Hoyt then
proceeded to explain this from a
medical point of view. Ho said
that when the spear lie.Id punct
ured the pericardium tbo blood
and serum from tbo tuptured heart
escaped. He osid that all this was
simply a fulfillment of a Scriptural
prediction, as was tho parting of
Uis raiment and carting lot* among
the soldiers for Uis vesture.
" Out what was this mental an
guish that broke our 8aviour’i
heart?" asked tbo speaker. “It
was not fear of death, for Uo look
ed towards that with longing. ‘If
I bo lifted up/ Uo stld, 'I will
draw all men to me.* Ilo antici
pated death as tha consummation
of HU labors. 'Reproach hath
broken my heart,' Ho osid, and
died. He died for ns. Tho weight
of human guilt broke Hit heart.’’
Oat After Dark.
Kefep the boys homo evening*.
Almost invariably lads who havo
been allowed to roam free it night
have come to moral shipwreck and
sociabdettruction. Tbo exceptions
have been wbero there was a strong
intellect, a wholesome tempera
ment, and peculiar *opial Influen
ces. Men and boys, women and
girles, whatever -may have been
their culture, feel that there ia
something different In tho streets
at night thanjjjat which is in the
day—something which excites ap
prehension, or creates alarm, or
gives licenses. Boys tlmt aro de
mure by day will say things ai
night that (hey would blush to
utter iu tho daylight. Tho result
of our observation is the clear con
vlction that it is absolutely neces
sary that parents know exactly
where their children aro from sun
down to sunriso. bio boy onghl
to bo allowed to go alono off tbo
pavement of his father’s houso af
ter sundown. It ought not to be
a bard restriction; to a boy thus
trained from infnncy it will not be.
It is unnatural that a child should
want to go off to ploy in tho dark
with other children. The desire
never comes until the child has
begun to bo corrupt. Sometimes,
for quii t, patents will allow their
children to go “round tbo corner”
to play awhile with soino other
children. Sometimes this is allow
ed through mere carolcssncis. We
never knew it to fail to end disas
trously. We h ive in our mind one
or two striking cases of where
mothers have pleaded for this liber
ty for their children ami aro now
reaping tho bitter fruits.
Road an Hour a'Day,
Thero was u hul who, at 11, was
pprenlicc to a soup boiler. ().ie
of his resolution* was to r»ud an
hour a day, or at least at t'i.it late,
uud he liaio-1 hiimclt by an old
silver watch left him by his uncle,
lie stayed seven yens with bis
master,.and when ho was ill be
knew as much as the young Squire.
Now let us sic how much time ho
had lo read in seven year*, at the
rate of ono hour each day. It
sould bo 2,555 hours, which at
tiio rato of eight reading hours per
;d«iy would be equal to 310 days;
equal to forty live week*; equal to
olcven months —nearly a years
rcadiug. That time spent in Irens*
uriug up useful knowledge would
pile up u very largo storo. I i n
sure it ii worth trying for. Begin
now. Do what you can. Iu after
year* you will look back upon the
task as tho most pleasant mid prof
itable you ever performed.

greater Injure looker physical and

fashionable sisters die all around
her. The kitchen maid is hsarty
and strong when her lady has to
be nursed like a tick baby. It is
a sad truth that foshionpampored
women are almost worthless for
all the ends of human life; tboy
havo but little force of character;
they bare still less power of mor
al will, and quite as little physical
energy. They live for no great
purpose in life; they 1 accomplish
no worthy ends. They are only
doll forms in tho hands of milli
ners and servants, to bo dressed
and fed to order. Thoy wilto no
books, they set no rich examples
of virtuous and womanly life. If
they rear children, servants and
nurses do all save give them birth,
nnd when reared what are they ?
